A Ten Billion Dollars Dinner

A worried Alex leaned against his Bentley Continental GT V8 S Convertible, waiting on Zunnie Bai. He wore long grey pants, a deep blue shit under a thin leather black jacket, with brown loafers. He looked like a rogue prince waiting on his princess. Tonight, they were finally going to have dinner together. While he looked forward to it, after their ordeal last night Alex decided to be a little reserve with his actions.

He was appreciative to be dining with her. Nonetheless, he couldn't help feeling anxious after reading her text message.

Earlier at work, he had gotten a message from Zunnie Bai saying… "I will meet you in Lake-view parking lot at seven tonight. Dress casually."

There was no self-introduction and her message had been to the point. Alex had no idea who the text was from when he first saw it. After reading it, he knew it was from Zunnie.

He left work early to get ready for what she had planned. But nothing he did, prepared him for what she had planned. He was nervous.

---------

At exactly seven, Zunnie emerged from the elevator. She glanced over to where Alex was parked then back to her vehicle.

He looked up from his phone when he heard her approaching.

Tonight Zunnie Bai was strikingly beautiful. She always looked more fabulous when she dressed up. She bore her hair which he usually saw in a bun, down for the occasion. She had on a pair of black jeans, ripped at the knees…matched with a mustard top, black blazer and a pair of white moccasins.

"Hello, Miss Bai, you look beautiful." He complimented her after drinking a glass full of her exquisiteness.

Zunnie smiled and thanked him… "Thanks, you don't look bad yourself."

"Thank you."

Even though she could tell Alex liked doing what he wanted, tonight she planned to punish and compel him into doing whatever she had in mind. She was going to get back at him for stealing her first kiss.

"We're taking my Volvo and you Mr. Zi, is going to drive," Zunnie smirked and pointed to where she had parked. She then handed him the key, walked over to the passenger's side and got in. Alex didn't budge because he was so stunned; he hadn't understood what was going on.

Seeing he was still standing there, Zunnie stuck her head out the window and shouted, "Get in Mr. Zi we don't have all night…"

A confused Alexander Zi slowly walked to the driver's seat and started the vehicle. He adjusted everything to fit his liking, then turned and smiled at Zunnie, "Where to?"

Even though he wanted to complain about her odd choice of vehicle, he kept his mouth shut. e had no right to complain. Especially since he had assaulted her last night.

"Head south, will give you directions along the way."

Alex drove the car south as per Zunnie's command. He had never driven a Volvo, yet still, after five minutes behind the wheel, he had no choice but to enjoy it. Having her next to him, his nerves loosened, and he felt more comfortable than he had been earlier.

"Where are we going to have dinner?"

"It's a secret."

"Hmm, a secret huh?" He had no idea where she was taking him.

"Yep, the next right, on the left is a restaurant call Thai Eats… that's where we're eating."

When the arrived, Alex hopped out of the vehicle and scanned around him. The area was not as noisy as the city. He had driven for forty minutes and he was extremely hungry. When Zunnie had mentioned dinner last night he was glad. Looking around he wondered if they were going to be okay. He at no time had stepped foot in this part of the country. Worried she was going to make him eat at this trashy play as punishment, he frowned but uttered not a word. He deserved it.

He followed Zunnie in and was surprised to see the host greet her.

"Miss Bai we've missed you. Good to see you again." An older lady welcomed them

"Auntie Mamo…sorry, I have not visited for a while, I've been busy." Zunnie and the older woman embraced tightly.

"Ahh, did you bring me a guest, and he's handsome too…" The lady walked over to Alex and took his hand.

"Hello, auntie…" Alex smiled politely.

The older lady smiled and escorted the pair to a booth overlooking the vast mountains.

"How did you find this place?" He asked Zunnie after they both seated.

"Her granddaughter was my patient a year ago and they invited me. I've been coming since then. The food here is cheap but it's really good. I hope you like Thai cuisine." Zunnie explained a warmth surging from her deep blue eyes.

"I enjoy Thai cuisine…I'm not a picky eater…"

"Good!"

"So, what is it you do?"

"I'm a Psychologist… and I own the Bai Children's Hospital."

A server who looked to be in her mid-thirties walked up to their booth… "Welcome Sir, Ms. Zunnie; boss Mamo said it's on the house since you brought a good-looking guest." The server blushed as she glanced at Alex who smiled at her remark, then looked back to Zunnie.

"Ha-ha, tell her I'll have the usual and the special for tonight."

"Yes, Ms. Zunnie," the lady bowed and disappeared into the kitchen.
