Chapter 29
"Oh." Sam almost smacked his forehead at his carelessness. He was so busy dealing with his sister and getting to Diana on time that he forgot to give her a proper greeting. "You're right. I should have done that earlier."
Then he took a deep look at Diana's appearance from head to toe. The way her top hugged her breasts, showing off her cleavage, and how her skirt revealed her shapely legs made his mouth go dry.
Clearly, she had dressed to seduce and entice, and it was working.
"You're... you look stunning as always, Diana. I don't know if I can handle all that hotness you're exuding right now." Sam gave a small, nervous smile as he praised her honestly.
"You have to try first to know if you can handle me. Don't you agree?" Diana said with a teasing smirk, leaning forward to give Sam a better view of her chest.
The waitress then brought their drinks and food, saving Sam from further embarrassment. He quickly shifted his gaze and thanked the waitress before serving the food for Diana.
"Try this. I'm sure you'll like it." Sam placed the plate in front of her.
"Oh, I hope so. It looks and smells great. Let me have a bite." Diana nodded and brought the food to her lips, taking a small portion into her mouth.
When the spicy taste hit her tongue, her eyes widened, and she covered her mouth with her hand, coughing slightly. "Whoa! It's so spicy yet delicious! Ah, give me some water."
Sam handed her the glass and smiled at her reaction. "It's my favourite dish here. The combination of the spices is just perfect. I knew you'd love it."
After drinking some water, Diana licked her lips and picked up another bite. "Hehe, yeah. It's really good. I didn't expect this level of spiciness. It makes me crave more even though my mouth is burning."
She then looked at Sam and winked. "It reminds me of you somehow."
Sam choked on his food, not expecting Diana to make such a statement. Was she implying he was making her crave him like this dish? Or that he was making her burn with desire? Either way, it affected him, and he felt a bit flustered.
Clearing his throat, Sam tried to play it cool and chuckled. "Really? Then you're probably going to have more cravings after this."
Diana laughed along with him and ate some more, enjoying their conversation.
Soon, the topic shifted to their personal lives. Sam learned more about Diana's family background. Her father was a well-known businessman who had various investments in different fields. He also spoiled her and gave her everything she wanted, hence her confident attitude and luxurious lifestyle.
Her mother, on the other hand, was a beautiful woman who used to be a fashion designer and now owned a famous clothing brand. She was the one who taught Diana how to maintain her appearance and dress elegantly.
As for her relationship status, Diana admitted that she dated some guys before, but none of them managed to keep it long with her.
Sam didn't ask for details because he felt it wasn't his business, nor did he want to know what they had done together. Instead, he changed the subject and shared some things about himself. Not much, since there wasn't much to tell, but enough for Diana to get to know him better.
Once they finished eating, they ordered some dessert, which was sweet and delicious. It balanced out the spiciness from earlier.
"Ah, that was a satisfying meal. Now I feel like taking a nap." Diana stretched her arms and sighed contentedly. "How about we head somewhere else and rest for a bit?"
'Rest? Nap? Wasn't that just a pretext to go somewhere more private with her?' Sam couldn't help but wonder.
But then again, it might really be that Diana wanted to relax. So, with a nod, he said, "Alright. Where do you want to go?"
"Let's go to my house. It's nearby, and we can have a comfortable time there." Diana suggested, standing up from her seat. "Or would you rather go somewhere else? Like a hotel?"
The word 'hotel' made Sam gulp. Of course, it sounded tempting. What guy wouldn't be tempted to go to a hotel with a sexy woman who clearly wanted him? It was like a dream come true for him. But it felt like he would be jumping the gun if he agreed too easily.
So, choosing the 'safer' option, Sam shook his head. "Your place sounds good to me. As long as your parents don't mind me visiting."
"Don't worry. They're out of the city for a few days. So no one will bother us." Diana winked at him and took his hand, leading him out of the restaurant.
'No one at home? Does that mean we'll be alone? Shit.' Sam's heart beat faster at the thought. 'What should I do if she wants to take it to the next level? Will it be too soon if we do it? I don't know...'
Lost in his thoughts, Sam didn't notice Diana glancing at him and smirking deviously.
After taking a cab, they arrived at a lavish two-story mansion with a spacious garden. The gates opened automatically as they approached, allowing them to drive up to the front door.
Sam was a bit overwhelmed by how luxurious and elegant the house was. It screamed money and class. And the most surprising thing was that it looked too big for a small family to live in.
"This is your house?" Sam asked in disbelief as he got out of the car. "How many people live here, anyway? I bet it's hard to clean everything."
"Pft. What a funny question." Diana chuckled as she led Sam inside. "Only me, my parents, and the maids. I know it's too big, but my father likes to have space and privacy, so here we are. And no, it's not hard to clean, thanks to the maids."
"Ah, I see."
