Chapter Twenty

The drive over to the place was quite silent and this made me feel uncomfortable, I turned my gaze to Chris who was just staring at me as if he saw a ghost. "You're making me anxious, can you please stop" 


"Baby am sorry, you're so breathe-taking, I can't seem to look away" He blurted out. I simply blushed and moved towards him, resting my head on his stomach letting him play with my hair. He then intertwined our fingers and kissed my hand, I shivered.
"I will try my best to be there for you, make you happy and take care of you" he whispered into my ear.


"How can you take care of me, Chris don't exaggerate." I laughed at him. He took my chin in his hands and lift my face towards him. He placed small kisses over it and gently kissed my lips.


"Baby I can take care of you, I work Monday to Saturday, two hours after school, and four hours on Saturdays. My parents believe that I must learn the value of things, so they gave me a decent job in their company." He replied. I was surprised, I thought he was a spoilt brat Like his ex-girlfriend.


"Okay, how much is your hourly pay then?" I pushed him to find out more.


"I get paid USD30 an hour, which totals to USD1680 a month. It's an average pay but it goes a long way, I normally saves half since they provide food and pay the bills." he responded. Oh my, this sounds amazing, I need to find myself a job like this.


"Can you get me a job as well?" I blurted out.


"Sure, I'll see what I can do!" He smiled  uncontrollably, I bet it's at the idea of us working the same place.


We arrived and everything looked wonderful, the balloon was all set and ready to take off, we climbed aboard and buckled up. I held onto his hands squeezing because of how frightened I was, he chuckled. We kept on going higher, it was scary but the view was magnificent.


Champagne was served with our appetizer and then the main course with wine. We spoke a little over dessert, he was an awesome person once you get to know him, I felt something in my stomach tickle every time he laughed. I adore him.


He handed me a small present and asked that I opened it when he dropped me off. This was quite mysterious, I liked this side of him.


I closed my eyes and savour in every second of this beautiful moment. I didn't want this to end, hell, I didn't want to feel the emotions reiling up inside me. I felt happy, nervous, frightened, I felt complete. A tear slip down my cheek, I opened my eye just as Chris hand wipe it away. I smiled.


"Are you OK babe?" He asked.


"Am fine, just overwhelmed. I can't believe someone did all this for ME!"


"This is just the beginning." He cupped my face and kissed me so gently yet still passionately. I felt like a princess. A princess in love. ♥


Our date was magical, if you asked me i'd say it was perfect. Battery powered candles, rose petals, wine, my favorite meal, soft melodious music and best of all, my prince charming.
