Chapter 56: I Love You

...

We already had our breakfast inside the hotel room. The food was good. I'm now worrying about my weight. Ever since me and Kellen have been in a relationship, he keeps giving me things, especially food. He doesn't want me to get hungry because he thinks it's always his fault when I do.

The hotel room was big and it also has its own bar near the kitchen. It looks very luxurious but elegant at the same time. I've never been in a room like this before. I don't even wonder why Kellen paid thousands of dollars for this place.

His meeting with the landowners whom has the possibility of becoming our business partners will be at 2:00 PM. We had the time to sleep for a while because it's just 7:00 in the morning. Then, when we woke up it's already lunch time. Kellen told me to choose a restaurant so I reserved one table for us.

Rowan's room is just next to us so it didn't take long for him to get the car ready. The restaurant wasn't so far. We wouldn't want to be late at the meeting, of course. As soon as we got there, we ordered food immediately and it was served longer than we expected but it's fine. We're not very hungry anyways.

"I'm not surprised that the food here is delicious," I said before wiping the pasta sauce on my lips with a clean cloth.

Judging the looks of the restaurant, I think this place is for elite people like Kellen. I'm assuming no one in this room will ever thought that I'm his girlfriend. It's actually not a big deal to me. Like what I've said, I want a lowkey relationship.

"We should come here often," Kellen said before drinking his brewed coffee. "Which do you prefer? Chicago or here in Ohio?"

"Anywhere," I answered. "As long as I'm with you."

A smile rose from the side of his lips. He then held my hand above the table. "We'll never be apart."

...

I was fixing his things inside his room while he was wearing his suit. Even he said he could do this by himself, I still want to help him so he wouldn't stress about it later when we come back here. After I put his clothes into the closet temporarily, I walked towards him.

I held his tie and he automatically got his hands off of it to let me tie it. I was almost done when I felt his hands, brushing my hair, fixing it to my right ear.

"Why?" I said as I looked at him because I kinda felt he was staring at me again.

"You're just so... beautiful," he said with no reaction at all.

I just smiled on what he said. He always tells me that I'm pretty, I'm cute, especially beautiful. I thought I was getting kind of used to it but I'm still not. It still makes me have butterflies in my stomach every time he says those. Receiving a compliment from him hits different.

"Let's go." I tried to hide my smile so he won't tease me anymore but I failed.

I turned around because I think I'm starting to blush again but just when I was about to walk away, I felt his hands around my waist, hugging me from behind. I just let him do that and I also held his hands around me. It was kind of comforting and relaxing, having him near me.

"Liv?" he said, almost whispering.

"Hmm?" I asked, still holding his hands.

"Can you promise me something?" he asked.

"What is it?" I asked back.

"That you'll always be mine?" he said which made me smile again.

"Yes, Kellen. I'm all yours, I promise," I answered, giving him the assurance he wanted.

...

The meeting went so fast. Kellen had an agreement with the team who'll sponsor him a big lot here in Ohio. I'm so happy that another success was given to him. He seemed very happy about it also, who wouldn't?

"Where are we?" I asked.

Kellen didn't want Rowan to drive for us earlier so he did. I figured he wanted to visit a place here and he want me to see it after we had dinner together.

"It's one of my favorite spots here in LA," he said before holding my hand so we could walk together.

After how many steps, I saw a tower in front of us. I looked up and it looks so beautiful. It has pastel lights and by looking at the trees beside it, it's very windy up there.

"We're gonna go up there?" I asked him.

"Yep. That is if you're not afraid of heights?"

Good thing I wasn't. Because I was excited to see what's up there, I tighten my hold on his hand as I initiate to take the stairs. It wasn't too high but it's not low either. Anyone who has a fear of heights wouldn't wish to come here because the stairs are made of thick glass which makes us see below through it.

"Slow down." He chuckled but I still dragged him with me. "You might hurt yourself, women."

After taking many steps on the stairs, we already got into the place he wanted to show me. The view here is so breath-taking. I've never seen a place like this before. It's so... incredible.

"It's beautiful." I was so speechless. I just smiled before walking towards the glass railing. The tower wasn't very big because I think it was made for people who wishes to bring their love ones here.

"I'll never disappoint you, Liv," he said, walking also before standing beside me and leaning his elbows on the railing.

"Is it your first time in here? Or did you uhm," I paused. I wasn't sure if I was going to tell him or not. "Nevermind."

"What is it?" he asked me. He looks worried because I acted weird at the moment. I just... thought of him bringing other girls here in the past.

"Did you bring someone here before?" I asked. I couldn't get it out of my head. We also talked about this. If ever we need a clarification from each other, we should feel free to talk about it before it'll go into a misunderstanding.

"No, I didn't. You're the first one I brought up here," Kellen said. I believe him. I believe everything he says because I trust him as much as how he trusts me in everything too.

"I'm glad to know that," I said and gave him a soft smile. I closed my eyes to feel the wind. It was so relaxing and calming. I looked at him when I opened my eyes.

"May I?" he asked for my hand.

"May what?" I confusingly asked.

"May I have this dance?" He smiled.

I hesisated but I still gave him my hand. "But Kellen, I don't dance," I told him.

"Just follow my lead," he said.

He then put my hands around his neck before placing his hands around my waist. It's kind of weird because there's no music at all. Just the lights, the wind and the two of us. I was afraid I might step on him so I was looking down from time to time. I'm not gonna lie, he's good at this.

"What are you looking at?" he chuckled when he noticed I was looking at our feet very often while dancing.

"I'm worried about your feet. I might step on it," I honestly said.

"Don't worry. You're the only one I'll allow to step on me," he said which made us both laugh. After that, it was silenced. We're just feeling our moment. This thing is very rare to happen because work will always be there, waiting for us. "I love you, Olivia."

Kellen had told me that a lot of times already. I always feel that I needed to say it back but he told me that he doesn't care how long he'll wait for me to get ready for that.

"I always will," he added.

"I love you too," I told him.
