Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 44

Paul’s POV

I was just done with solving my first case with the FBI, when I received a call from Lillian. She said that she just wanted to know how I was doing I told her that I was doing fine actually just completed my first case with the FBI and she said oh congratulations and she asked so where’s the party at? I told her that there’s no party and she said too bad and she added if you solve a case there’s supposed to be a party and I said there’s going to be one but I’m not going. Then she asked is there anything I can say or do to change your mind? I asked about what? She said attending your party of course and I said no not really and we chatted for a couple more minutes before we hung up. About two hours later I was already at home when I received a call from Lillian saying that she was at my door. I was wondering what she was doing there when I went to open the door and I found Lillian and a friend at my door. Lillian asked may we come in? I said sure and made way for them to pass. Once they were in my apartment, Lillian introduced me to her friend saying Paul meet my friend Joan and Joan meet a good friend Paul. I asked so to what do I owe the honour? Lillian said Paul my friend Joan over here likes you very much and I was wondering if you could give her a chance to win your heart? I asked who put you up to this? She said nobody and she asked me do you remember when we met at Diana’s wedding? I said yes and I asked what does that have to do with this? She said that her friend Joan saw you talking with me and later on that day after you left she confessed to me that she was in love with you. She continued I was shocked because you see my friend over here doesn’t like any guy all the guys in school who have come close to her she has chased them away. She said I learnt from Charles that your heart is frozen but please just let my friend melt some of that ice away. I was shocked at this explanation and I looked at her friend again and she looked like my high school girlfriend whom I lost to the cold hands of death when she was just 17 but with a few differences. For one my girlfriend had blond hair but this girl had dark hair. But their facial features were almost the same. I told them that I was going to give her a chance and the girl Joan jumped on me and said thank you and she added I promise you wouldn’t regret this. Lillian asked me so now that you have a girlfriend, wouldn’t you be going for the party the FBI is throwing in your honour? I told her why don’t you let me ask her first. She apologised and said ask away. Then I looked into Joan’s eyes and I asked her so how would you like to accompany me to a party? She said yes I’d love to. I told Lillian that she was invited also if she wanted to come and she asked can I bring a plus one? I told her that she could bring anyone she wanted to. Then I took the two ladies shopping for some clothes, bags and shoes. We went to a boutique and they picked out a dress each. Joan first of all picked out a blue dress but I didn’t like the way it looked on her then I went and picked out a black dress for her and when she put it on, it fit her perfectly. Lillian also picked out a red dress and it fit her perfectly. Then they went to pick out some shoes and I picked out a pair of white heals for Joan and Lillian also picked out a pair of shoes. After our shopping, I drove them home to my apartment for them to change into the clothes which we just bought because the party was to start by 8 pm and we finished shopping around 6.45 pm. When they were done dressing, and came out of the room to meet me in the living room I was like wow you ladies look astonishingly beautiful and they both replied thank you and Joan added you don’t look too bad yourself.

Lillian’s POV

On our way to the party in honour of Paul, I put a call through to Nate and he picked on the third ring. He said hi beautiful and I responded hi handsome and I asked him how are you? He said he was fine and he enquired as to my well being and I responded that I was doing fine. I asked him if he was busy and he said no not really. I said that I know we aren’t dating or anything but that I’d like to invite you to a party and he asked where’s the party at? I asked Paul who was driving us and he said that it was at the FBI headquarters in Washington DC. I relayed this information to Nate and he said okay and he asked me if there was a dress code? Looking at Paul I told him that it was a black tie event. He heard the air coming in from the window and asked where are you? I told him that I was on the way to the party. He said what time is the party starting? I told him that it was to begin at 8 pm and he said oh shit why didn’t you tell me earlier? I apologised saying that the invitation came on short notice. He said he would meet me there and hung up the call. Joan asked me was that Nate and I said yes and added I don’t know if he is mad at me and she said not to worry and she asked what was the last thing he said? I told her that he said he would meet me at the party location and she said I shouldn’t worry that she had never known Nate not to keep his word. Just then Paul pulled the car over and announced we are here. He came out of the driver’s side and walked over to the back seats and opened the door for I and Joan to exit the vehicle. Once we came out of the car, all eyes were on us and I started to feel uncomfortable and I could see that Joan was feeling the same way. Paul then stood in between us and entwined his arms with ours and we walked into the hall. At the entrance I sighted Nate and I signalled Paul and Joan that my date was here and Paul let me go to him. I decided to play the same trick he played on me at Diana’s wedding by going behind him and using my two hands to cover his eyes and once I did this he said Lillian I know it’s you. I removed my hands and walked in front of him and asked him how did you get here that fast? He was dressed in a black shirt and a white suit and trouser by the way. He said that he was a super hero and that he flew here. I didn’t believe him but I asked really with a look of shock on my face and he started laughing and said just messing with you. He added I was in the neighbourhood when you called. Then he asked me shall we go in? I entwined my arm with his and we walked into the hall.
