"Hi, Louis," I said brightly, carefully descending the three white carpeted steps of the sunken living room. "I'm so very excited for our date. Do you like it?" I twirled around, displaying all of my stunning, provocatively attired figure.
"I think that this is going to be a great weekend, Barb." He stood up off the black leather sofa, eyes devouring my alluring form.
I walked over to him and placed my arms around his neck, my breasts deliberately pressed against his white shirt and my red lips at his left ear. "How do you know that, cutie? We haven't even done anything fun ... yet," I whispered seductively, changing my tone. My left upper thigh could feel his cock thickening underneath his pants. Of course, I knew the effect I was having. After all, I had spent a week preparing for this weekend.

My name is Barb Wei. I am 24 years old, two years graduated from City University of Hong Kong. Now regretfully so, I was a poor student, inattentive because I had felt that my physical assets would ultimately determine my fate, which I assumed would be prosperous, in the broad sense of the word. My family, consisting of my parents, both high-level executives for large multinational firms, and my older brother, a surgeon, didn't quite agree with my attitude, but didn't really nag me about academics either, other than making sure I could graduate. I won't try to be modest in describing my body. I am very pretty. I have a tight figure and I work out two hours a day to keep it tight. I am 5' 8" tall and weigh 120 lbs. My measurements are a natural 34-23-34 and I wear a 75E bra (which Americans would translate to 34D). My jet black hair extends below my scapula and my skin is flawlessly light-colored. Owing to my attractiveness, I work steadily as a photographic model for high-end clothes and lingerie and facial products, as well as a weekend, holiday, and substitute local television anchor.
I had just won first place in the Miss Hong Kong pageant. I wasn't particularly surprised, figuring that the scores of the talent portion of the competition, in which I sang, would be heavily influenced by the impressions made by the earlier swimsuit part of the contest. Still, it was a thrill when I was announced as the winner, especially since it was over my long-time frenemy, Nan, who placed second. Nan is, I have to admit, twice as good a singer as I; however, most would consider me more physically captivating. We had been holding hands as the two finalists and when my name was announced as the winner, Nan, during the obligatory fake-hugging immediately after the announcement, had whispered in my ear, "Congratulations on your victory, Barb, but this will be the last time that you beat me in anything." She then winked at me and I couldn't tell if she was serious or mad or what.
While the band was still playing, a man approached me. He had a masculine handsomeness, with thick hair and high cheekbones and a squarish jaw. He was wearing a fine tuxedo, which could not hide his broad shoulders and obviously muscular build. He wasn't particularly tall, being level with my height in my 4-inch stiletto heels. But he was definitely striking, possessing an obvious confidence, and his eyes locked onto mine unwaveringly, a hint of a smile gracing his visage. As he drew nearer, I saw a badge that indicated that he had been one of the judges of the pageant.
"Miss Wei, you are one very impressive woman, the whole package. I want to introduce myself. Louis Lai. I always stay tuned on the television whenever you are on and have been interested in meeting you for some time now."
"The pleasure is all mine, Mr. Lai. Barb," I purred, as I extended my hand. Louis took my hand and gave it a soft kiss. Of course, like most trendy Hong Kong residents, I was familiar with the name, if not exactly the face. The gossip papers and websites had all declared him one of Hong Kong's top ten eligible bachelors, ever since he returned back from America about eight months ago. His family was among the wealthiest in the city, with countless holdings in commercial and residential property, mostly in Asia. Louis, 29 years of age, had been sent six years ago to America to acquire an MBA and to cut his managerial chops by overseeing family properties in North America. In his spare time over there, Louis co-founded an Internet start-up, which had been bought by Google last year for over $200 million HKD ($30 million USD). The family had apparently called Louis back to work full-time to help manage their more extensive Asian assets. The Lais were an old-school family, very private; even in the gossip pages, there were very few details about his biography and even fewer photographs of Louis' activities around the city.
"Do you know what impressed me the most about you, Barb?"
"Was it my precise pitch on the high notes?" I joked.
"Well, those were quite lovely," he chuckled. "However, I am truly impressed by your natural elegance. You exude such confidence in various situations and you carry yourself with unbelievably regal sophistication."
"Thank you, Mr. Lai. I am still on a high from winning, so keep my high going by complimenting me more," I laughed.
"Barb, on stage there, you were a woman among girls. I would love to throw more compliments at you at a later time. Would you do me the pleasure of giving me your number? Perhaps we could have a date soon." Louis Lai then tilted his head, locked deeply into my eyes and smiled broadly, almost challenging me to try to deny his request.
"It would be my pleasure, Mr. Lai. A woman can never listen to enough compliments, especially from someone so cute." I winked at him and then recited my number into his phone.
"Excellent, Barb! I look forward to meeting again." He headed stage right. I was then mobbed by a number of pageant officials.
As Louis Lai was about to disappear from view, I noticed that Nan had intercepted him. She was speaking to him alone. I could see her whispering into his ear at times and giggling often and playfully touching him frequently, while he seemed to have no interest in ending their conversation. After about ten minutes, however, they did go their separate ways, but not before I saw her speak into his phone.

Two hours later, after the obligatory pictures had been taken and the forms had all been signed and upcoming post-pageant meetings had been scheduled, I had finished changing into my street clothes. I was waiting for my family to take me to a small private celebration party in their flat, when my phone rang. It was Louis Lai. "I was interested in setting up our date, Barb. Would you be free this weekend?"
I already had plans all next weekend to be in Macau with university friends for bachelorette party activities and this had already been cleared with my bosses at the television station. Still, I determined that it probably would not be wise to be unavailable with Louis Lai. I reasoned that he probably had many other appealing women immediately available to him and playing hard-to-get could possibly result in never getting together. More concerning, though, was Nan's flagrant attempt at seducing him earlier and I wanted to make sure that I got to him first.
"You flatter me with your strong interest, Mr. Lai. I do have some free time this weekend. When were you thinking of?"
"All weekend, Barb. You would need to let the television station know that you will be occupied. I would like to get to know you deeply ... intimately, you might say. I have found that doing so requires an extended and concentrated amount of time together. I am quite busy and I am used to making important decisions over short periods of time. This includes my choice of companions. I would ask that you clear your schedule from Friday evening to Monday morning. The date will continue, as long as we are getting along well. If one of us decides to terminate our date earlier in the weekend, well, I think we could both separate as mature adults. I see this as the best way to start learning about each other, don't you think, Barb?"
"Um, yes, you are kind of convincing, Mr. Lai. I guess I can re-arrange my schedule for you ...I mean, us."
"Call me Louis, Barb. And I understand that you may have plans already. A stunning woman like you rarely just sits at home. So I am offering you this. Call me on Tuesday. Tell me what you would like to do Friday evening, Saturday afternoon, Saturday evening, and Sunday afternoon. I will make it happen. Deal?"
"Absolutely, a deal. I am looking forward to learning about ... us, Louis."
