below, as well as
the vineyards.”
    The
carriage stopped by the front doors of the massive stone structure.
In front of us were two twin doors that looked to be made out of
oak but taller than regular doors and wider. Andre got out and came
over to my door to open it.
    “ Welcome to my home.” He took my hand and helped me out of the
carriage.
    “ Thank you. I wish I could see more it’s quite dark.” Andre
stood next to me and held my hand in his, caressing my
fingers.
    “ I saw you at your interview. I was watching, admiring you. I
was taken by your beauty. The other women, didn’t interest me, but
you captivated me.”
    “ I — I saw you
after the interview, just for a moment,” I said, my heart racing.
His eyes, god those beautiful eyes.
    “ I wanted to say something then, but my business, keeps me on
the move. That is, until tonight.”
    The
doors in front of us creaked open.
    “ Please.” Andre took my hand and escorted me inside.
    The
castle inside was breathtaking. The walls were covered in smooth
woods, and it shone as the candlelight bathed them in a soft glow.
There was a winding staircase in front of us and a railing at the
top going around. Many areas of the walls were covered in
tapestries or beautiful paintings. The floor was done in a burgundy
red with a square pattern throughout the carpets. By the staircase
there was a full set of ancient knight armor complete with a sword
and helmet. His servants closed the doors behind us and quietly
went on their way. The doors made a deep creaking sound as they
slid shut with a loud boom that made me jump a little. There were
entrances to the other areas of the castle to both sides of us. One
room glowed softly with the flicker of candles and the smell of
cooking meats filled me.
    Andre
gestured towards the room with the glow. “This way, dinner awaits.”
He took my hand by my fingers and led me into the other
room.
    The
other room was large and open, in the middle was a long heavy table
made out of oak. There were eight dark brown chairs around it with
red velvet in the middle and on the seats. The table was decorated
with sparking cutlery and all sorts of expensive dishes as well as
fine white linen. On one side of the table on the wall was a large
portrait of a man sitting in a chair while behind the head of the
table was another opening which appeared to lead into a kitchen
area, the smells coming from it were making my mouth water. Candles
hung in black elaborate sconces on the walls creating a soft,
romantic mood. The floor was done in polished marble, the walls
were done in stone.
    “ Please have a seat,” Andre said. He took a seat at the far end
of the table and I sat at the other end.
    A waiter
came out behind Andre, carrying a tray. He came over and poured me
a glass of red wine and left Andre a simple silver goblet. He back
into the kitchen without uttering a word.
    Andre
took a small sip from his goblet. “I love the candlelight on your
hair.”
    I took a
long drink of the wine to calm my nerves. I couldn’t believe this
place, it was immense and I felt like I was back in the
past.
    “ I hope you don’t mind the candles, I prefer them. They are
more intimate for dining.”
    “ Oh, they are wonderful,” I said. “I have never had a meal by
candlelight before, unless you count that rainstorm we had one
spring back in L.A when the power went out.”
    Another
man came out of the entrance carrying what appeared to be a roast
of lamb. He put the plate in front of me. There’s was lamb, roast
vegetables, boiled potatoes and fresh bread for the table. I was
hungry and the food looked great, I waited for them to bring in
Andre’s meal.
    “ Please go ahead,” he said. “Don’t let the meal get
cold.”
    “ Aren’t you eating?”
    “ I have a different diet than you do.” Andre tool a sip form
his goblet. “I will feast later.”
    I
thought it was odd that he would have at least something. He
probably has some crazy diet, a personal
