Chapter 2: Fateful Encounter
“I have set out to fulfill that mission. To find an unsuspecting baby Daddy, that is why I’ve been in this bar for the past hour, this has been the third bar for tonigh and it is the fifth week, I am losing hope, I realized that planning is easy but executing the plan is different level of difficult.I am not used to this environment, flirting is not something I know how to do,those who approach me just doesn’t fit the bill and they are too drunk, they remind me of my father, full of ego,and drunk, it is starting to feel like this is not the right".
I have spent quite a lot of effort already and not a single guy, is pleasant enough for me, this plan has become a total joke, what was I thinking? I was willing to act like a pick up girl to get what I want? But I was willing to do it just once if I find the perfect man, I will do it. But will the one I chose would want me? I am not as desirable as the young girls in the club, I don’t giggle like they do, I buy my own drinks, refused anyone who offers me a drink or company, I have dismissed a few already tonight, they might be thinking i am weird already, i am feeling so out of place being in a place like this. I am starting to realize that I am looking for a specimen that doesn’t exist. It’s looking more and more that the experiment will not be successful. My hope is fading little by little, my feeling of embarrassment is growing greater by the second. I feel hopelessness growing inside me. I knew this was wrong from the very start. Maybe i was too confident in my selfand at the same time too desperate to think it would work and I’ll be able to do it”.

She had now come to a point of hopelessness after many attempts in the past few nights she’d been trying, all she had gotten from attending this places are people who reminded her of her dad. She is thinking now that she must have chosen the wrong place to execute her plan, but where on earth would she be able to do something like this? this time she is at the point of giving up, she is at the point of accepting that the plan has failed, she will now need to convince herself that maybe this is not for her she will have to start accepting that she will indeed grow alone. And just watch her friends be happy with their own family someday.
Feeling dreadful about the out come of her planning, she decided that tonight is going to be the final night she is going to do this, but she is not going to end it and just give up just like that, she is gonna fail with a big bang, she decide to order stronger drinks and decided that though she did not accomplish anything it doesnt mean she can't celebrate anything!she will go ahead and celebrate this failure. And maybe if she gets drunk enough she will forget about it.
And so she did! As she drinks away, an intense feeling of loneliness suddenly overcame her, it grasped her heart, and she felt the sorrow of letting go of her dream, a baby of her own will never come true now. And it is her fault, she can blame his dad for everything as much as she wants, but this is her life she should be able to control it and have her way, and have the result she desired the future she dreams of. He could have have tried trusting someone and gave them a chance, she knows not everyone is like her father, she had a few relationships in the past, they were good people, but she never made an effort to try because she was already contented with what she has and just doesn’t allow herself to trust them, he sees his dad in every guy who tries to be close to her and win her over, maybe if she tried harder she could have had at least a single successful relationship and maybe even married. But her mom and her friends were enough for her already, but now her mom is gone, and it seems like her closest friends are gonna go too very soon.
She did not realize by now tears are streaming down her cheeks, and the booze is filling her up, she has not drink that much but she is not used to drinking, so somehow a little amount is getting her drunk too easily. That she can no longer feel the flowing tears on her cheeks anymore. The bar tender approached her and asked if she could be of any assistance, and that woke her up from the trance that she was in, feeling fully embarrassed by her state she tried to smile and wiped her face very quickly. And offered to pay the tab. She gathered herself up and started towards the door where she was gonna go order a taxi cab from the attendant, when suddenly the world around her started spinning she tried to grab on to something
but she ended flailing her hands in the air and she was going down face first, when suddenly a strong arm grabbed her by the waist and helped her get on her feet.
The guy was speaking to her and she could hardly comprehend his words, his hearing is already altered, he seems to be talking in a tunnel, but his face is really handsome a little blurry but handsome
she tried to say something but what came out were slurry sounds.
The guy started to lead her outside and into a car, he was talking to her the whole time, but she couldn’t form proper words in her mouth anymore, she is starting to feel weird, so she closed her eyes. She heard an engine start, and she couldn’t care anymore.
Chapter 3: You're Not My TypeMatthew has been sitting at the other end of the bar when he noticed the lady at the other side of the room sitting at one of the bar stools at the far corner, she seems to be all by herself, she dismissed everyone who tried to hit on her, she’s been watching for a while now, just out of curiosity she kept his eyes on her, and then all of a sudden her tears were welling from her eyes then flowing freely down her cheeks, he suddenly felt bad, maybe she is here after a break up he thought, and feeling sympathetic towards the lady, he asked the guy tending to him to go check on her before she totally breaks down just in case ,which the bar tender willingly obliged. And after that the lady seem ta came to her senses and quickly paid her bill and started walking out the door, that is when he decided to approach her and offer to give her
Chapter 4: A Secret LoveLola can’t describe how she feels right now, she is feeling happy, though her secret trips to the city has been unsuccessful, and last night turned out to be a disaster, she is glad she met Matthew, whatever his last name is, she couldn’t forget his handsome face, and what a gentleman he was.She sat in front of her computer and pulled up her baby daddy file. She typed in his name and started ticking the criteria boxes, and wrote at the bottom of the page, perfect Match the chosen one.She has finally found the right one, the problem is how will she see him again, she was so embarrassed earlier she couldn’t even ask his full name, could hardly utter the word
Friday afternoon, Lola said goodbye to her crew earlier than usual, She has to go home early and get ready, she plans to take an earlier train tonight instead of taking the 7 pm schedule like she usually did in the past weeks she will take the 6, she just want to go early and do some walking around the city to calm her nerves before she goes to the spot. While she was getting dressed she looked at herself again in the mirror making sure that everything is perfect, she wants to make an impression and make sure that she is attractive enough not to be refused. She smiled back at her in the mirror, she actually looks good, she never looked at herself this way before, but she realized she can be sultry if she wanted to. Tonight she will give her best, hopefully he will be there.
Once the elevator closed behind them, He started to kiss her deeply and she responded with the same intensity and this pleased them both and as they entered his apartment and closed the door she responded to his kiss she is making him feel that she likes what he is doing, she is finding pleasure in this, she dropped her purse and wrapped both her arms around him, as his arms started caressing her and exploring her body, she moaned in pleasure. Matthew carried her to the bedroom while their lips are sealed in a kiss, she gently laid her down and kept on kissing her harder, their heartbeats are so fast and loud it seems to fill up the room, She is getting hotter and flushed and she has this desire to be held and touched, their lips parted for just a few moments to take a deep breath and for Matthew to take his clothes off, she watched him do it and she is enjoying the view, she allowed him to take hers off in silence and he seemed pleased
It was a busy Monday at the coffee shop, Lola’s schedule to man the kitchen are on Mondays, she make sure everything is ready all ingredients are prepared and nothing is missing, It is very important that everything is complete a little extra is always preferable, she doesn’t have to do the baking herself anymore she already has staff in the kitchen and she has a baker and a cook employed already but she still prefers to man the kitchen on Mondays, she schedules this day for cheesecake making, She loves making cheesecakes, she has her own twist to it, she has a few recipes, but her favorite is her own lime cheesecake, she loves the aroma of lime and with the little bit of tang on the cheesecake makes it special, she loves everything citrusy, so it’s not a wonder to find all kinds of lemon and lime flavored products in the shop, and customers loved them, another favorite of hers and people come to the shop for it is her key lime pie, she
No matter how busy Lola gets she can’t stop thinking of Matthew and every night she can’t help herself from thinking of him and fantasize of the things he can do to her in bed, of how he caressed her and touched her in places that gave her so much pleasure, as if he knew her body well enough that he knows the right places. Everyday she desires to be with him, and the feeling of him beside her. She had started daydreaming of him already. She feels like a teenager who just had her first time. She can’t understand the desire that he has for the man, it is not suppose to be like this, she is not suppose to enjoy it too much, she scolds herself sometimes and rebukes the fantasizing but she just can’t help it, fortunately the guy is too charming and really good in bed, and she likes it! But she constantly reminds herself that this is temporary. When she is done it will stop.
Katie was at the coffee house when Lola arrived at nine, She seems to be a little chippier than her usual self, they hugged and kissed, then she sat down opposite her and they chatted over coffee, Katie reiterated what she had said on her text earlier, that she wants her to make the cake herself because it is for a special dinner, she said dreamily. Lola laughed at her friends childish attitude, she looks really silly. “Of course I shall do what you ask your highness” she said still laughing. And what is this special dinner that you seem to be so excited about hmmm!! anything I need to know? Something you wanna share? Tidbits here and there?” “well, not really, I don’t want to spoil anything. do you remember what I told you last time? He is finally back, My parents and I are invited over for dinner, actually originally it was just my mom and dad, but I asked my mom to mention that I
Katie’s uncontained excitement for the dinner invitation for tonight is oozing from her every pore, she never realized how much Theo meant to her until now, she never felt so excited to see an old friend like this before, and she definitely knows why she feels that way, somehow Theo has always been special in her heart since their Manhattan days. And She is hoping he will feel the same too. Their families have always been close since those days when her dad and Mr. Adler were working in the same banking firm in Wall street, they used to have a residence in Manhattan her dad stays there all week and she and her mom preferred to stay in their family home in Stamford. She and her mom would drive on Friday afternoons after school to visit he
