I hid my face behind the curtains of my hair, “You’re such a dork” I said whispered even though I am kissing him relentlessly in my mind.
I felt the warmth of his palm on my hand making me snap my red face towards him. He gave me his million dollar smile, “Let’s go, I wanna show you something” he said and pulled me out of the chair.
We have been driving for the past 30 minutes, “Where are you taking me?” I ask for the millionth time to which he intertwined our hands together and brought the back of my hand to his lips, “Patience my little one, patience!” He winked at me then quickly turned to the raid as he drove.
The he opened the compartment in front of me and tossed a blind fold to me, “Do you trust me?” He asked softly there was a hint of fear?,, dubious?
But why?
“With everything in me..” I said strongly and pressed his hands that was on my shoulder. He released a breath and intertwined our hands together again.
“You know your way around Alta as well?” I ask him after a few minutes. He just hummed in reply, “Pretty much, I stayed here for a year or two in the past..” he trailed off.
“By the way, how did you get inside my penthouse?” I asked curiously.
“I asked the receptionist for a key to my WIFE’S room” he said totally proud of himself.
“You never aske–”
“Oh I did love! You just didn’t give me a reply..” he said interrupting me mid sentence. I rolled my eyes but a smile adorned my face, in a few weeks it’s his birthday. I am planning to propose to him on his birthday. Just thinking about, tingles run all over my body leaving a jittery feeling in the pit of my stomach, a good type of jittery.
We soon stopped and he walked out to my side pulling me out of the car. We shared a comfortable silence on our way just enjoying each other’s presence.
After a few minutes of walking we stopped, I felt him leave my hand. He soon came behind me, “I never thought I’d meet someone as beautiful as the place untill I met you” his warm breath fanning my ear. He wrapped his one arm around my waist and the other went to open my blind fold.
The blind fold slid off my head and I slowly opened my eyes. My heart stopped beating as the sight set on the magnificent view in front of me. The Northern Lights.
I released a breath as my eyes took in the lights. The majestic view has no words to be described, the blue green hues blended with golden and purple lights in a sensual way making the most awestricking colours ever, to even be described by mere words in English dictionary.
The stars and the thickly cover snow only added to it’s beauty, “I-Its the most exquisite thing I have ever laid eyes on” I release a breath. My eyes didn’t hinge away from the view, “I beg to differ” he said. I could feel his burning gaze at the side of my face. I looked at him with a wide smile, “I love it!” I said with a smile. He chuckled and kissed my nose.
His smile suddenly fell, “I- I have something to tell you…” He told me in fear. I furrowed my brows, “Yeah?” I asked him sweetly.
“Let’s just first sit down” he said and walked back, only then I noticed a tent and a big log and fire wood placed in front of it. He lit the woods on fire and sat down with his head hung low.
I sat down beside him and wrapped my arms around his shoulder. He was clearly in distress, “I have— I have not– been completely honest with you….” He finally said after a few minutes of silence.
I suddenly stopped my movements as I looked at him in shock, “W-what?” My response came out as a whisper.
“Please promise me whatever you’ll hear will not change anything between us” he suddenly said clutching both of my hands.
I didn’t know how to respond, I didn’t know what he is going to tell me.
“I- I..” he gulped shakily not meeting my eyes, “I have,,, a–”
“Dad?!!” A femininy voice said snapped us, “Is that you dad?” The same voice came from a few feets away. Our heads snapped towards the voice as my heart beat slowed down.
