Thea woke up just when their car stopped. "Are we there?" she asked sluggishly as she rubbed her eyes. "Yes hon. We're here." Jeru murmured as he went out and held Thea's hand as the latter also stepped out of the car.
Thea gasped seeing the beautiful view. The villa was amidst a tranquil landscaped garden. It was combined with a serene atmosphere and a sense of proper indulgence.
Thea walked inside and she smiled in admiration. There was even a freshwater heated infinity pool facing the crystal blue sea.
"Ohhh so beautiful!" Thea blurted out loudly. She felt Jeru hugged her from behind as he murmured, "Yes it is, but not as beautiful as you..."
Thea giggled and hugged Jeru's arm with hers. "Since when did you start speaking flowery words?" she commented.
"Hmm, ever since I found you..." replied Jeru. He was wondering if he should tell Thea right now how he felt for her or give her a little surprise as he had planned! He did not want to keep any kind of regrets and most especially he did not want any of those 'what ifs' that his father had reminded him.
"Hon..." he murmured.
"Yes?" Thea asked as she moved her head a bit right to face Jeru who rested his chin on her shoulder.
"Hmm... I..." said Jeru but paused. He still had two weeks so maybe he should not say it now and did things as he had planned?
"What?" Thea asked impatiently because Jeru left her hanging with the word "I". She was becoming nervous at the thought that it could be those words, those three words she was dying to hear from him.
"I... Hmm... I'm hungry. I will prepare dinner while you sit and enjoy the view of the sunset. It's always you who feeds me so this time I'll do it for you." said Jeru chuckling as he lead Thea to sit on the couch facing the beach on their terrace.
Thea relaxed and waited for Jeru to finish with his cooking. She wanted to watch him cook, but Jeru did not let her saying he would not be able to concentrate on his masterpiece. "Is he baking or what?" Thea mumbled as she smelled something sweet. She got her book and did some reading as she relaxed her body and felt the fresh air on the terrace.
But Thea dozed off while reading. After more than an hour and thirty minutes, Thea woke up and stretched her arms. "What is that?" she whimpered a complain because Jeru was still not done and she was itching already to see what he was cooking.
Finally, a few more minutes passed and Jeru called for her. "I'm done. Let's eat!" Jeru cheerfully exclaimed as he pulled Thea towards the living room.
He pulled a chair for her and Thea blinked several times looking at what he had prepared. There was a vegetable dish but some vegetables were cut in heart shape. She looked at another plate and saw pork. "What's this?" she murmured seeing the pork was cut in a heart shape too!
She heard Jeru laugh and said vaguely,"Why? Don't you like my heart?" Thea did not know whether to laugh or what... Instead she grabbed each and said, "Okay hon let me eat all of these hearts!"
Jeru watched her in awe as she ate all of those heart shaped dishes. Then he mused,'how come she didn't ask why I did those heartshapes?'
"How was the food?" Jeru asked smiling after Thea finished the main course. "Hmm, it's good.I never thought you can cook so well hon." praised Thea as she caressed her tummy gently.
