Chapter 8

She heard the calling bell ringing .. She put on her jacket and opened the door.. A delivery guy was standing there with a big rose bouquet in his hands.. He blushed when he saw her.

"are you athanasia..?"

"yes.."

"this flowers are sent for you"

he handed the big bouquet in her hands.. He bowed and left.

She closed the door and stared at the bouquet..

"red roses..?"

She noticed a letter inside them and took it out.. It had only one sentence.

' I will give you all the flowers in the world..if you want.

- Lucas. '

She chuckled at the message.. '

is he trying to propose to me now..? But where is he..? Did he think I would call him and say OK..? No way.. You should try harder' she thought and smirked.

'but this flowers are so beautiful.. Just like his eyes.... No.. Athy come to your senses don't fall for his tricks yet..' she thought to herself shaking her head. She placed the bouquet on table and smiled looking at it. When she again thought about making dinner her calling bell rang again..

She walked towards the door and opened it to see another delivery.. He handed her a huge package and left.. She opened it curiously and her eyes light up.. it was chocolate cake from her favourite shop ..

She beamed un delight and noticed another letter in it.. She opened it smiling.. It said..

Whenever you want to eat cake just let me know I will get you one no matter where I was .. If you want I can buy the whole shop... - Lucas.'

She laughed after reading the letter..

' really..? will you.. Buy the whole shop ..?.. Is it true he didn't dated anyone before.. He surely flirt so well' she thought giggling.

She took a piece of cake and savoured it happily.. She then stored the rest of the cake carefully to eat later. She happily hummed her favourite song and Sat on the sofa.. She took the letter cards from flower and cake and read them again smiling.. She accidentally flipped the card and noticed the card with flowers have.. 'will you' and the card in cake had 'marry' written on the other side..

'then there will be another gift..?' she thought and smiled excitedly.. Like what she expected her calling bell rang for the third time.. She walked Towards the door and opened it happily to see lucas standing there looking stunning in black suit.

She let him inside and closed the door..

"so.. The last piece.." she was interrupted by him..

"it's me.. He said smiling and she chuckled...

(let's just imagine lucas have a jewel box in his hand 🤗)

" Will you marry me..? "

he asked suddenly kneeling down showing her a small jewel box in his hand.. She looked at him wide eyed for a second and let out a small smile..

' pfft... proposing As soon as you entered my house..? But I must appreciate him for keeping it simple and private.. I wanted to tease him with his proposal.. But.. gosh... I think I can't take it anymore...My heart was going crazy here.. Well I will admit it... I like this.. ' she thought and slowly nodded a yes smiling at him..

Lucas got happy and stood up smiling when he opened the box... her eyes widened from surprise.

it was not a ring.. But a platinum chain with ballerina pendant with blue diamonds on it .. She can't tell how happy she was looking at it..

"do you like it..?"

he asked tilting his head since she was looking down at the small box in his hand..

She nodded her head as a yes ..

"thank you so much.. I really love it.."

she said and gave him a best beaming smile. He felt warmth rushing inside every nook and corner of his body warming him up like no other things.. He got happy looking at her being happy.. He took it out of the box and was about to put in on her but .. She stopped him.

"wait... Let me take off my jacket "

She said and took off her coat revealing herself in sweater.. Lucas looked at her wide eyed.

"did you opened the door like this.?" he asked..

"No.. with my jacket .. why?" she asked tilting her head..

' I think.. I really hate letting other guys see you like this.. ' he thought and sighed.

"nothing.. Aren't you cold..?"

"nope.. Since the heater is on.. Haah.. you should have told me in advance .. I would have dressed properly.."she whined pouting.. And he smiled at her..

" it's ok.. you look Good whatever you wear .. "

'thank God she only take it off now..' he thought and let out a small smile ..

He went closer to her and slowly leaned forward closing thier gap amidst .. He put on the chain in her neck.

Bathump... Bathump... Her heart beated like crazy and her face turned red when she his finger touched her nape . She wanted to change the topic so that he won't notice she how blushed she is..

"don't everyone usually propose with a ring..?" she asked.

"I will put one on our wedding anyway so I thought I can choose something else.."

he said in a low voice  while putting the chain on her neck .. She was red as tomato hearing that and he slowly parted from her.. He can't take his eyes off her.. The sapphire and Ruby didn't see anything else around them.. Like they are searching deep inside each other for something... His gaze slowly shifted from her eyes to down and when he saw her pink plump lips which was small and cute..

'I am curious.. How will it taste..? Wait... Wtf.. Did I thought just now..? No.. This is dangerous I should get going.. He turned his gaze to the other side in a flash scratching his nape..

"well.. Then..i will get going.. Let's talk further with felix and lily.."

he said still looking away from her and turned back and started walking towards door.. Athy suddenly grabbed his hand.. He turned back and looked at her slowly with hesitance..

"why are you leaving so early..? Are you busy.. Can't you stay a little longer...?"

she asked with a puppy eyes.. 'No...don't do this to me... Why the hell  she  is so cute.. I would want to Kiss her even more.. Haah..This is not helping me at all.. 'he thought turning towards her and sighed.

" I don't have much work to do but I think I can't Control myself if I stay any longer.. So I think it's better to leave..." he said in a blank tone looking away from her and she looked at him confused.

"huh..control from what..?" she asked tilting her head.

'is she really oblivious or is she teasing me..If she is teasing me.. then.. ?' he thought and smirked.

He walked towards her slowly and she started to walk backwards not knowing herself why, her body just moved on its own.. she stopped when she hit the wall and he towered over her and leaned towards her even closer.

' I can't understand what he meant a moment ago but the smirk in his lips was like warning me that he meant something mischievous and I automatically walked backwards . We stopped moving when I hit the wall and he was towering over me now.. All I can see is his mesmerising red eyes I feel like I will get lost if I look at it any longer so I shifted my gaze to the side. He leaned even further .... So close.. That I can smell his cologne and God... It was damn good.'

"then.. will you help me..if I can't control myself from getting what I want ..?"

He whispered in her ear, his breath tingled her ears and her heart skipped a beat.

She looked at him starlight at eyes confused..

"well.. I can.. But what is it that you want..?" she asked tilting her head.

"really.. You can?"

he asked with a smirk..

'there it comes again that mischievous smirk.. Just what is it that he wants..?' she thought and blinked in confusion.

"hmm...i guess..if it's within my reach.. I can "

she said in a low voice.. He leaned further and thier noses touched.. Athy flinched at his thier closeness her eyes slowly  looked up to saw his sharp gaze on her..

' bathump... Bathump.. He is so close.. This deep red eyes .. His eyes are my weakness..so beautiful .. Wait!! Don't tell me.. The thing he want is..?' she stared back at him deeply like she was searching answer for her doubt.. She noticed his gaze went down from her eyes to her lips ..

'I guess I was right..' she thought and gulped ..

"can I..? "

he asked in a low husky voice .. staring deeply at her ocean blue eyes which is reflecting his red rubies on them ..she slowly nodded her head as a yes...he smirked and leaned further

'God.. Save me. This guy is killing me using my weakness... how can I say no when his eyes are so mesmerising and his voice is so seducing.. He leaned further and kissed my lips... His lips are soft and it was warm..

His Eyes were closed.. I felt like butterflies are flying inside my stomach and like I will melt down like chocolate from this warmth .. I closed my eyes dwelling into his warmth and kissed him back.. My first kiss.. Maybe first when I am conscious.. It was soft and sweet.. The feeling of Warmth from his lips overwhelmed and ran down through my whole body and I feel like melting..

'I just planned on teasing her but I really can't control myself when we were so close.. And her eyes.. It was so beautiful.. And I was really surprised and happy when she noded a yes and I kissed her.. This time.. I am fully conscious so it can be considered our first kiss right..? Her lips was so soft and small and our lips fitted perfect like it was made for each other ..

I felt warmth running all over my body and my desire to fully devour her raised inside me and it got the best of me... no matter how much I tried to suppress it.. I can't I felt somehow sad cause it was like I was forcing her for my desire... but it went away when she kissed me back..

I can tell by her kiss that she also like it and I felt relieved that she is not forcing herself.. She slowly placed her hands around my neck when her fingers caressed my nape I felt something stirring inside me and it's a overwhelming desire that I can't control..

'I drowned deeply in our kiss and placed my hands in his nape.. He pulled me into a tight hug grabbing my waist.. My heart was beating like it will come out any moment. His hands are big enough to fully embrace me ..

I felt safe.. Inside his arms.. The first thought came to my mind was... Should I just stay like this forever..? he caressed my back and tightened the hug even more and my whole body got hot .. I think..my whole body reacts to him more than I thought..

I don't know if it was because I already slept with him or not but I didn't feel uncomfortable at all when he touch me.. Rather it's.. Feels good.. I tightened my grip in his nape and pulled him more closer.. there was not even a inch gap left between us now.. He smoothly slid his tongue inside my mouth and.. Gosh.. Our kiss got intense..

' she is sweet.. I can't stop myself no matter how hard I try and devoring her... What can I do when she was this sweet..

' wow.. He is so smooth.. This feels so good.. Pfft.. Now I was doing things my  dance colleagues always talk About .. Is this how it feels to have a boyfriend..? But I am going a step forward and gonna have a husband who kiss well Huh..? My life really took a  one eighty  degree turn.. Isn't it..? Pfft.. Who would have thought.. That dance maniac athy will be kissing her fiancé on Sunday night in her home..? ' her random thoughts trained her mind when they  they parted from the kiss.. Saliva bridging  their lips, they are panting hard trying to catch their breath..as Thier foreheads are touching each other's with their eyes still closed.

He was holding her by her waist and her hands are still around his neck but a bit looser than earlier..they stayed like that for some time..until they calmed down.

'...what now..? Will she be mad at me..?'

he thought and opened  his eyes  to see her face fully flushed in red hue and her lips were slightly swollen from the intense kiss.. She was panting hard..

'she was.. So beautiful.. Looking like this... Her face got this red just from a kiss..? She looks like a tomato.. Pfft.. Why she is so adorable..?'

he thought and caressed her cheek innately...she slowly looked up at him in eyes..

"sorry.. I really can't control myself." he said in a low tone and smiled sheepishly.

' bathump.. Bathump...you Jerk.. Stop being like this.. my heart is going to explode.. 'she thought.

" you really didn't dated anyone before..?"

she asked crossing her hands staring at him.

"hmm.. I didn't"

"huh..? It's not believable though.. How can someone kiss this good on first try..? "

she accidentally mumbled out her thoughts and he smirked hearing that and tightened his grip on her waist, pulled her closer. She came out of her daze amd looked at him confused..

" so you like my kiss.. I see.."he said in a teasing tone.

'gosh.. I blurted it out..'

" wh..what..i.. I.. Did but..no.. I.. " she stuttered blushing.

'Pfft.. does  she have  to be this  cute..?  It's fun seeing her flustered like this..

" hmm..? You didn't..? Then should we try once more..? "

he asked titling his head and pecked on her cheek. She looked at him wide eyed..

"yo..you are lying.."

she said with a small pout.

"no.. I wasn't.. I really didn't dated or kissed anyone before and I never would in the future too..you are the only one for me.."

he said looking at her straight in her eyes .

'I know.. This gaze of him... He is being honest and sincere now..' she thought and stared at him wide eyed in surprise. He kissed her forehead.

"chu.. I will get going sia.. Lock the door.. And sleep well.. Bye.."

he told her and walked towards the door. She slowly nodded a yes and walk behind him and waved him bye.. Standing in front of the door watching him leave in his car.. She closed the door and leaned on it..her face turned red rewinding what he did and said to her..

She slowly crouched down on the floor leaning on the door .

'mom.. What to do... I think I already started loving him .. But.. I don't want to.. I.. I am afraid.. I don't want to love anyone again ' she thought while tears dripped down her face.
