"Aeneas Charles Richardson" I repeat, trying his name out. The name perfectly leaves my lips and it causes Aeneas to look at me with lust in his eyes that seem to have changed into a dark blue.

The light turns green and I know I've heard that name before, but where? "Did you think that I had lied to you about my name?" I stay quiet, I don't want to hurt his feelings by telling him that yes, I did think that he was lying about his name and other things.

"Where here" I look out the window to see that we are parked beside the rode. In front of us stands a small restaurant that seems to give off a homely vibe.

Aeneas get out the car and runs to my side, he open the door and holds out his hand for me to take. I smile and gladly take it before stepping out his car.

"I usually come here to gather my thoughts on things. It's small but it reminds me of my home for some reason" he whispers to me as we walk towards the restaurant. He opens the door and I'm met with the smell of Italian food. "Hey, Mari" Aeneas gladly greets the host who happens to be a young girl, that's standing beside the front doors of the restaurant. Her black hair is up into a tight pony tail. Her green bright eyes don't miss on standing out the most to me.

"Hey, Aeneas. Table for two? Right this way" she grabs two menus and leads us to the back where a small table for two is already waiting. I come to notice that the place is empty and it's just the two of us, with a few waiters walking and cleaning around.

"Don't be so tense, relax" Aeneas whispers as he pulls out a chair for me. "Everyone here is really friendly" I sit down with a small nod to the head. The restaurant is small, the walls are painted red and the tables are all made out of wood with wooden chairs around them.

"You haven't said a word to me" my eyes land on Aeneas as he sits down in front of me, his expression is blank when his eyes looking straight into mine. "I'm just a bit distracted with all this" I honestly tell him, "I've haven't been to a restaurant like this one before, but it does give you a warm feeling inside" the place brings a feeling of calmness over me. It's like no one will know my secrets here, it's like we're hiding from the outside world around us.

Aeneas softly smiles. "Hello, what can I start you two of with?" Says a young girl who looks to be in her teenage years, she brightly smiles at me when my eyes land on her brown ones, I smile back. "We'll have two Cokes and two of my regulars" she quickly writes everything down and leaves. Did he just order for me?

"You can ask me whatever questions you might have inside of that little cute head of yours" Aeneas relaxes back into his chair, his blue eyes seem to be covered in lust as they rest upon me. "I actually just have one more question" I tell him, he raises an eyebrow as in telling me to continue speaking.

"Aeneas, how do you know my husband?" Aeneas tilts his head to the side, his eyes inspect every inch of my face. He suddenly sighs and sits up straight, with his hands resting against the table in between us. "Maxwell and I did some business together, on the side and after celebrating for our success we ended up getting drunk and we made a bet. I lost and ended up being the butler for your home for awhile" he calmly tells me.

"Our business was just an investment for a new product that was created by someone else, it was easier that way, in case it didn't work out. None of us would have lost that much money on the product" he tells me.

The waiter comes back and sets our drinks down, she then leaves again once Aeneas tells her that we don't need anything else for now. "I see" I whisper, "so you aren't just some stranger that Max hired as our butler?" Aeneas shakes his head no. "I'm actually leaving next week, the bet will be over soon and I have a business meeting to attend"

"You're leaving? Will you be back?" Aeneas sadly shakes his head, "that's part of the reason why I wanted to bring you here and out on a date, so that we could talk about this"

I close my eyes and take a deep breath, what am I saying? I shouldn't care that he's leaving. He isn't my husband or anything to me for that matter. He's a stranger that I hardly even know.

"I want you to come with me, I'm leaving the country and I don't know when I'll be back if I'm completely honest with you" I open my eyes as he puts his hand on top of mine. "That is if I'm able to get the business deal that I have coming up. Come with me Athalia, we can be together. You aren't happy with Maxwell and I can perfectly see that, anyone can" he tells me in a whisper.

"I love you" my eyes widen and I pull my hand back from underneath his. "What?" I whisper, he can't love me. He's confused about all this, he shakes his head as hurt crosses his eyes. How can he love me when he barely even knows me? He's my husbands friend!

"I love you and I know you do too. You just don't want to accept it because you're scared to fall for someone who isn't your husband. Leave Maxwell and come with me. I promise you'll have everything that you need" he whispers.

"What is this? Why are you doing this? I don't love you, I hardly even know you" Aeneas eyes turn hard as they cover their selfs in anger. "I can't go with you, I have my life already made-", "with a man who doesn't love or appreciate you!" He suddenly shouts.

I stand up, I've never seen Aeneas react like this. "I won't let you shout at me, you are nothing more to me than just a butler" I hiss, I walk pass him to leave the restaurant but he's able to grab my arm and pull me back.

By now I'm able to feel the waiters eyes on us, "listen to me for once. I love you, I know you do too, I know you do. Stop trying to fight this and come with me, leave the country with me" he whispers in desperation.

I can't though, my heart is crying out for me to say yes but I can't leave with him. My life is already made here and I'm married to the father of my dead child, "Athalia, please" he cups my face in between his hands. His breathe fans over me and it brings me a feeling of desire and pleasure to have him this close to me.

He slowly licks his lips which quickly catches my eyes, "let's leave this place" he whispers, "come on" he grabs my hand and leads me out the restaurant.

We get back inside his car and he quickly starts to drive off somewhere. "Where are you taking me?" I ask him after five minutes of driving. He smirks, "to have a cup of tea with the butler" we park in front of a tall gray building. "Athalia?" I turn my head to face him and it doesn't take more than a second for his lips to be on mine.

The kiss is hard, filled with desire and need. "Tell me you'll come with me" he whispers in between the kiss. I start to lose myself and I let his lips take me to a place that I've never been to before. The only thing that I can do is nod my head to shut him up so that he continues kissing me.

This kiss is what I have been looking for and wanting. It's exactly what I want in my life, it's the kind of feeling that I always want to feel and Aeneas is who I truly want to be with.
