Matters Of The Heart novel Chapter 10

"Okay, it's Ian right?", Stephanie chipped in on the moment, Ian turned to look at her and nodded

"I want this young lady back here no later than 1am, are we clear?", she warned as put on a motherly tone, and he chuckled before nodding his head again. Abigail simply just rose her eyes.

"Yes ma'am", he saluted. "Anything else?"

"Have fun", she said as Ian held the door for Abigail

"I'll make sure of that"

"but don't have too much fun", she warned again as they laughed

"Pleasure to meet you, Stephanie", Ian said as they stepped out

"Pleasure to meet you too. Enjoy okay?", she held onto the door.

"Okay", they said in union and Stephanie closed the door behind them

When they got to the car, he opened the car door for her, and she thanked him as she got in.

"So, where are we going?", she questioned again as he turned the ignition on, and he chuckled before shaking his head

"You'll see"

The surprise location was an abandoned road close to the airport. The pair sat in the car, eating hot wings as they watched the airplanes fly over them. They chatted, getting to know one another clearly.

"So this was the secret destination", Abigail laughed as she wiped her hands with a serviette as she finished eating her hot wings

"I never said it's a secret. I just said it's a surprise", he chuckled while he leaned onto his seat. Another plane took off and they both looked at it as it flew over them.

"Woah, it looks so different when you're looking at it so close", Abigail exclaimed as her eyes followed the plane. "Do you often come here?", she asked, and he nodded his head.

"Yeah, mostly when I need to gather my thoughts, but it's been a while since I've been here though. It's the first time today since I came back".

"Where were you?"

"Midrand. I own a construction and a few investment companies that side", he said like it was just something anyone could say in passing. Abigail could see that he was wealthy, not by only his car, but also his choice of clothes, they were casual, but they were expensive designer labels.

"Why are you back in this side of town?"

"I had to take over the family business after my father was involved in a car accident a couple of months ago"

"I'm so sorry. Is he okay?"
