Destined to be together

Chapter 30

April

I shuffled in my bed hugging the pillow tightly, inhaling the sweet smell.

A moan escaped my mouth. I rubbed my eyes and slowly sat up.

The golden light entering through the window has brightened up the room.
I look around the room.

Right, I am in Mr. Martínez’s house.

I let out a yawn.

the interior of the room matches Mr. Martínez’s personality.

Dark gray walls, white curtains, a small bookshelf, and a cupboard.

I look next to me and gently lay my hand on top of the bedsheet.

The pillow cover, the bedsheet, everything was wrapped with his smell.

An involuntary smile formed on my lips.

I slowly get off the bed and head towards the washroom to freshen up.

After freshening up I head downstairs.

A sweet smell hit my nose immediately instantly followed by a slow grumble.

Taking the steps I turned towards the kitchen to see Mr. Martínez flipping pancakes.

He was wearing a black tank top flexing his muscles and all I could do was stare at him blankly.

“Good Morning.” He said without turning his head to me.

His words brought me back to my sense.

I climbed down the rest of the steps.

“Umm G-Good Morning Mr. Martínez.”

He turned around raising a brow at me.

“Okay we have got a problem to solve, from now on you will call me by my name okay?”

“Huh, but how can I ….”

“So how did you sleep last night?”

"Uhmm good…good.”

He gently tucked my lock and planted a soft kiss on my forehead.

“Now finish your food and get ready.”

“Uhmm where are we going?”

“That’s a surprise.”

Oh, I hate surprises.

I quickly finished my food, those pancakes were absolutely delicious.

I walked back to the room thinking about where we might be going.

I entered the room to see a package lying on top of the bed.

There’s a note attached to the package.

“Wear this and get ready. - Dimitri”

I slowly opened the package and took out a beautiful maroon dress and a pair of flats to complete the look perfectly.
The dress has a square neckline and long lantern sleeves. It was the prettiest dress I have ever seen.

I quickly took a shower and got dressed.

I took out the lip balm and mascara from my bag and did a light touch up.

I look up to the mirror to my own reflection, my gaze returning to the silver dangling in my neck.
I traced the wing with my fingertips.

I haven't taken it off since the day he put it on me.

If anyone asks, I might not be able to answer why.

I took a deep breath, fixed my hair,  and walked down the stairs.

Mr. Martínez was talking to someone over the phone. He turned around hearing my footsteps.

He hangs up the phone and slides it into his pocket.

His eyes not leaving me for a second.

He took a step forward towering over me.

“You look absolutely beautiful” his dimples popping out immediately.

“T-thank you.”

He quickly took a look at his watch

“We should get going now.”

It’s been more than half an hour since we took off towards this unknown destination.

Should I just ask him already?

I took a deep breath and turned towards him.

“Uhm Wh-Where are we going?”

“You’ll see,” he answered not moving his gaze.

“A-Are we there yet?”

“Almost.”

I continue to stare at him expecting a more detailed answer but he denied it.

I gave up and focused on playing with the hem of my dress.

After around ten more minutes the car came to a halt.

I sat up straight trying to look where we are.

A man came out and opened the huge black gate in front and he drove in.

The car stopped on the gravel path and we walked out.

I look up to see a beautiful place it was no less than a mansion.

The huge bright walls surrounded by greens with a few pink and red and yellow here and there looking like a painter’s blank canvas ready with all the color in the palate.

I stared in awe at the beautiful garden.

“where is this place?”

“It’s my parent’s house, we are invited to lunch today.”

His words washed over my calmness like waves on the beach.

I looked at him and took a step back.

As the intense anxiety starts kicking in, my throat started to get clogged and all I could utter was “no”.

“I-I can’t……I-I just can’t…….”

“Wh-what if I say or do something wrong or stupid, I……”

I searched hard but failed to get the words that would explain the whirlpool going on inside me.

He lowered himself to my height.

“look at me.”

The tears forming on the surface were about to spill.

“look at me.”

I looked up to him trying my best to not cry.

“April you are the most beautiful, kind, and the purest person that I have known, you are perfect and they are going to love you for who you are.”

He gently caressed my cheeks, “Don’t worry, I’ll be with you.”

He took my hand intertwining his fingers with mine.

“shall we?”

I tightly grip his hand and gave a small nod.

He placed a soft kiss on my forehead, his dimple popping up.

“Let’s go.”

We continued walking on the gravel path till we reached the main door.

As we waited for the door to open my body started to turn cold.
