CHAPTER 3

Taming Faye:::::

After a long day at work Daylan decided to take a stroll, he exited his building after working for hours, noticing it was late already.

He kept on walking along the street not going anywhere in particular, just walking admiring the surrounding when a bright green light catches his eyes, he walked closer and saw it was a bar with the name ' FAROUZ' 

"Farouz? strange name" he chuckled and  walking towards it to check it out.

Daylan walked in straight and headed to the bartender, he ordered for a glass of Martini while sitting down. It has  been long he visited the bar maybe three years ago with his best friend, he has been so overwhelmed with work, that his life has been in a triangle.

From home to work, back to home everyday, he looked around as he sipped his drink, nodding his head slowly to the backgroundmusic playing softly.

Daylan admire the artistic drawings on the wall, as he slowly took his time to admire the couple Seated at the corner of the bar, smiling and discussing, he sighed and ordered another glass. While waiting for the bartender he looked at those discussing and  some couple holding hands dancing to the slow music which was gradually becoming loud.

Part of his heart wished he was there with his fiancee, he quickly brushed that thoughts off as he gulped the remaining content in his glass at a go.

He enjoyed himself while on his third glass, gradually he was loosening himself while yet still scanning the bar, his eyes followed the movement of everyone that walked in and out of the bar.

Everyone looked ordinary to him, it's not like the sophisticated charity party he do attend, or the expensive clothes most people wear to dinner parties, everything looks normal too normal to him. 

He was getting bored and ordered another glass to loosen himself more.

Few minutes later he became tispy, but not really drunk, Daylan thought it was time to leave at once, he stood up pay the bartender as he turned to leave

He suddenly looked up and saw two Ladies walked in, 'hand-in-hand' his eyes got glued to the one putting on a red gown and black heels scanning the bar, she looking so beautiful and excited.

With her beautiful face and eyes scanning the bar.

The woman turned towards his direction and their eyes met, Daylan breath hitched.

He saw the most beautiful pair of eyes he has ever seen, he became frozen, hypnotized. Not really from the much drink he had earlier.

******************

Faye and her best friend Maya entered the bar looking around, as if she sensed someone looking at her she turned and looked up, her eyes met the most mesmerizing brown eyes she has ever seen starring intensely at her. 

After catching herself noticing the stranger was still looking at her, she slowly looked away.

"Faye!, Let's go" Maya said, lightly dragging her while she nodded her head to the popular music being played.

They walked passed him and ordered two shots of tequila, which they drank immediately like water.

Maya excused herself when she saw a guy at the far end corner of the bar eyeing her.

Faye decided to order beer for the both of them, there she meet the stranger again now sitting closed to the bartender this time with a glass of wine.

Their eyes met again and Daylan decided to play it cool introducing himself.

"Hi I'm sorry for starring at you that way, I swear iam not a pervert, I just....... " he continued rambling.

Faye smiled as he continued apologising.

Typical Daylan never apologize!

Not to anyone, not even his best friend Anthony.

Daylan gave her an amused look when he noticed her smile widening.

"Sorry for laughing at you, you were just talking too much, and I can see clearly you're not a pervert"  Faye replied still smilling,  showing her perfect white teeth through her kissable red lips.

Daylan could not help but admire how beautiful she was on her short off shoulder red gown that showed her beautiful curves.

He knew this girl already have an effect on him the moment he saw her walked in.

"God She's so beautiful, and her lip......"  he thought as he drank the last shot of his drink, ordering for another glass.

"Iam Faye, nice to meet you" She said, extending her hand for a shake.

"Daylan' he replied, taking in her hand in his.

Both of them exchange pleasantries while Daylan clamps his hand on hers to return the shake.

He felt the softness of her skin on her palm and almost caress it.

' I just wish I can run my hands through them' he thought, looking at how their hands fit in eachother perfectly.

He noticed he has been holding her hand quite long, he quickly released it, chuckled nervously.

She smiled.

Looking around she said, "Seems like you're alone, why?"

Her voice sounds like butter mixed with honey that caused a stir within Daylan.

He cleared his throat" Yeah, I just came to spend sometime here, it's been long" he replied as he took a quick glance at the bar again then to her.

"Where is your friend?" He asked as he sipped his wine slowly.

Faye laughed, " My bestfriend, she should be somewhere here, I don't need to worry much about her, She can take good care of herself"

Daylan nodded "can I seat with you?" He asked, picking his glass of wine.

"Yeah, sure" Faye invited with a smile.

They sat together and kept talking about anything, Everything as long as the conversation did not die.

Daylan knew he does not want to have anything more than being friends with her, but there was something about her that draws him closer.

After hours of talking and taking few glances at each other Lips, Daylan asked with a soft voice

' You want us to get out of this place?"
