Chapter 70 - Fairytale

Refreshed. Blessed. Peaceful. Flaming. Glorified. Grateful. Luscious. Euphoric. Placate.

That's how I felt, and so much more.

I could still feel his touch flow through me like a surgent. Inebriated by my senses and poisoned by his taste. I never felt this good before and I guarantee I did have sex lots of times with Carl but it never felt this much good. If that was a taste of the menu I could have with him in the future, then I was starving for more.

I wrapped a towel around my waist and we both looked at each other both shyly and joyous.

He stroked a strand of my hair behind my ear and tilted his head to the side.

"You're so beautiful." 

His gaze stopped to stare at my eyes, "your eyes are so stunning." 

I laughed at that compliment, my eyes didn't have anything special, they weren't blue nor green but just of a simple brown. Nobody even complimented my eyes before.

"Don't laugh at me, you truly have beautiful eyes." 

I giggled again shaking my head, "what do you like so much about my eyes?" I inquired in curiosity.

"I like the shade of them, they look like honey molten when the sunrise shines them when the night falls they turn darker like fine wood used for prestigious vintage furniture. There are different shades of brown from darker to lighter. Brown is the color of forest and autumnal leaves. And autumn just became my favorite season since I met you." He smiled just to caress my cheek, "and now that I made you compliment your irises expanded and I love the contrast between the shades."

I swallowed down, I usually hated the color of my eyes, I wanted them blue so badly but from the way he described my eyes, I felt grateful to have brown eyes. 

My heart is inflamed and that exact second I lost it, I lost every doubt I had in the back of my mind and pulled out what was left of my heart, what was left of me.

And I kissed him again.

I pulled off and gasped as my stomach entangled in a mixture of feelings. It was only a few hours since my arrival and I already didn't want to leave.

I guess you understand how much you enjoy staying with another person when you start to count the seconds you still have with that significant other and hope time won't go by too quickly. 

We walked back inside and I ran to the bathroom to change and dry my hair while he went to his room. I took advantage of the occasion to put some concealer on and add a bit of mascara.

When I walked back to the living room he was waiting for me wearing one of his elegant suits. The white shirt looked so good on him and his almost tight trousers just emphasises his figure. 

"I guess it's time for our second date," he said.

second? I lost count of the times we spend eating together.

I checked my dress and shook my head, that wasn't the right dress for the occasion.

"Wait, I have to change then."

I said turning around hastily and walking back to my room. I heard him giggling as I left and then his voice echoed through the gap of the door. "You always look good."

I smiled but decided to change anyway. I went back to my room- or better the guests' room- when my gaze fell on the most sensual dress I had.

I didn't wear that one dress in years and I also forgot I put it in the closet!

Wait, I didn't put it! When I lifted it a note fell so I picked it up and read it:

'Dear best friend, whenever you will hang out with Mr. CEO alone wear this, or I will unfriend you.

-Joanna'

I laughed and put the note back on the suitcase, I tidied up my dresses and clothes back on the wardrobe and tried to slip on that dress. It was a silky texture ruched cowl neck midi dress which was perfect for my body type and I never felt more gratefully for having a quite busybody friend.

I put on red lipstick and curled my hair a bit more.

When I walked out he was sitting on the sofa typing on his lap, "changed your mind?" I asked, when he turned around, his jaw dropped and his eyes widened. His gaze traveled through me and stopped whenever it met my curves, he stood up and swallowed down.

"Damn, Lily..." He whispered, not able to drive his gaze away from me.

"I don't think a word exists to describe how gorgeous you are." 

He walked toward me, his eyes sparkled and I could feel he was nervous. I wondered why, it wasn't the first time he saw me in a beautiful dress.

"Thank you," I replied, offering a smile. I will make sure to thank Joanna for her choice as soon as I get back home.

"We shall go," he said taking me under his arm and starting to walk outside.

There was no car, no taxi waiting for us but I doubted he would want to go in his car since the garage was still closed.

"It's coming," he said reading the wonder in my eyes.

I heard noises of hooves clicking on the ground echoing from the street.

A few more seconds later and a beautiful carriage appeared from the street and approached us to pull over right in front of us. I couldn't believe to my eyes. Was I dreaming?

Two majestic white horses and a carriage surrounded by fragrance jasmine and roses, it seemed to come out of a fairy tale. I covered my mouth with my hands and inwardly screamed of joy at that scene.

He called a carriage, a carriage to take us to our second date! Can someone wake me up!? because I was living the best fairytale ever written!
