Book:When I Met You Published:2024-5-1

ALICE POV:
We went down for breakfast and found Ethan was already gone. I felt sad but soon I reminded my morning view which cracked my lips with a beautiful smile.
I had my breakfast with a blushing Lauren looking at Jack with love in eyes. Grandma was happy and enjoyed her breakfast while Alex was teasing them continuously making me and grandma laugh.
Mary was teasing them with Alex and made us laugh more. Today, Mary was fully on fun mode.
When I reached office I saw him in his cabin with his assistant and some staff. They were talking about something seriously so I didn’t disturbed them. I was staring them when my assistant came and asked me to help Miss. Veena with designs.
Our indian client’s wedding was tomorrow and we all were invited in it with reception on same day. My family and the staffs which were working on for her was invited and I am super excited.

I finished my all work at 5 p. m hopefully it was not much today but didn’t get glance of him. I left early as it was my besties date today. And I know she needs me today in her first special day. So I am leaving alone and I came alone too today?.
We planned date on terrace so that Ethan don’t get suspicious and finds her sister. #beingalert from Ethan was our mindset. Not only these two but everyone is scared what if he gets to know?
Before coming out from office I called her assistant and asked his schedule. His assistant made it clear it was going to be 9 pm. But still no taking risk!!
When I reached home I quickly changed my dress and took quick shower. Then, I helped Alex, John, Jack for Lauren’s amazing and memorable moment.
“Have you confirmed that Ethan will be late?”, Jack said when he saw me in terrace.
“Yes I have checked but it’s on his mood. If he wants he can come early too. But expectations is late in night”, I said him not giving any high hopes.
“Yeah that’s true!! But hope so he comes after this decoration is done.”
“Hmmm”, I said with Alex and John.
We made white cloth tent in terrace with white chilli lights on it. Bottles stuffed with chilli lights were hanging on terrace with support of ropes. Rose petals on walkway for tent, cushions, mattresses and bedsheets were set there perfectly. Candle night dinner preparations were done properly with all her favourite foods.
Grandma managed Miss. Impatient Lauren with all difficulty. Her excitement and curiosity was top of the world but thanks to grandma that she puzzled her with dresses. I lied to Lauren that I am busy with work as Jack needed me more.
I feel so sorry for lying my Lauren but I know I will. make it worthy by decorating terrace for date. I want her to be the most happiest girl in this world and she deserves too. My bestie is best and everything for her should be best too.
I decorated the table with white table cloth, aroma candlesticks with rose petals on sides, noodles, meat balls with spring onion gravy, bread, cheesecake, momos, etc.
Lauren send me her dress pic and it was a babypink bodycon sleevless dress with net cloth on waist lying till floor. Jack choosed black shirt with ultramine blue denim jeans.
We all were ready totally and now it was date time. I made Lauren ready because I can’t ditch her anymore. I already helped Jack with all work and it was all ready now time for bestie.
She was looking so adorable my pretty doll I hugged her. Yes, she scolded me a lot for ditching her before than forgave me.
We were all set and it was already 7:40 and headed to terrace but stopped. Alex send me a text letting know Ethan is home now and is outside.
I texted him back to say in terrace only and not stepping down. After gaining the truth fully. All of us were hell shocked and panicked.
“Alice only you can save us. Please distract Ethans mind otehrwise we are gone”, grandma said and Mary requested too.
Lauren was looking at me with teary eyes. We were on the passage to grandma’s room so he can’t see standing from living room. But his presence was terrified my mind imagined he being super angry, sparing Lauren after his lecture and then mine turn for facing his devil.
Ohhh god his devil side is too scary please please please save me… don’t let him eat me up.
His car stopped near the gate and here comes my devil inside the house. Silence was fully covering the whole house we were sweating horribly in air conditioned home. I was still in denial thinking about his devil side.
Grandma pushed me towards him when he yelled everyone’s name especially Lauren’s. I stumbled and was about to fall but his hard chest and strong arms held me.
When he pulled me up and staraightened still keeping his hand on my waist. He started shooting questions making me hell nervous and coming out of thoughts.
“Are you okay? How did you fall? From where did you appeared? Where is everyone? Is everything okay?”
I was silently watching him thinking what to say after hearing his so many questions. What to say? I looked towards Lauren and grandma for help and they pleaded me for handling by my own. Now I guess I should cry.
“Say Alice? Where everyone is?”, he uttered out again.
“Everyone went out for outing. I didn’t went because I thought you will need me. As Mary and John joined them too”, I said in one go looking at him.
“Ohh… bu?”, he said oh with a straight face. Wait whether it’s a lie or truth is he not happy hearing this. Didn’t he missed me?
“What but?? Are you not happy for me being here for you? Fine I won’t. Bye!!!”, I said angrily forgetting about everyone started to walkway but my eyes fell on scared Lauren. Before I could stop intentionally he stopped me.
“Wait!!! I didn’t mean that. I was just saying that you could have join them too. No need to make sacrifice for me”, he said.
My back was still facing his face when he said all this. I turned when he held my wrist only to see him closing the distance between us. He was super close to me and that made me lost in him again.
“What are you doing?”, I uttered when his hand started tracing my arms with his fingers extending towards my face then lips.
Grandma, Mary and Lauren was already there and it made me feel shy. It will be so embarrassing if they saw us kissing near them. His eyes were fixed with mine grey eyes totally not leaving a single stare.
“I missed you!! Why you left so early?? I was craving so much to see you but couldn’t. Still your presence made me feel good and energized. I was about to leave when you left but I had urgent meeting so completed that and came running to you love.”
His fingers were caressing my lips and it made me go freeze. He was playing fully with mine lips and again I forgot about them watching us. But it was relief that they were not able to hear what he said. As he was whispering those words to me being close. Just to make me seduced with his deadly handsome face and husky voice.
He was about to kiss me when I placed my finger on his lips making him stop. He gave a puzzled look to me. “First go and get fresh I will bring your snacks with coffee to you in your room”, I said keeping stone on my heart as I wanted that kiss badly too.
He nodded and left for his room and I placed my hand on chest leaving my breath. As it was so impossible for me to handle him with so many lies.
When he finally reached his room and closed the door Lauren, grandma and Mary came to me keeping hand on my shoulder. I got startled with their presence as I was thinking about him with his disappearing figure.
“You scared me guys. Btw run fast to terrace one half will be occupied by lauren and jack. Other half by you guys enjoy there fully because if he gets suspicious he will make us as good as death.”
“Yess… yesss… don’t worry. Btw Alice best of luck so that you can have a great night too”, making me blush.
“Oh come on Lauren now go. He will come out otherwise giving you devils visit”, they hurriedly ran towards terrace with low steps.
I went kitchen for making something for him quickly. I descentded towards his room only to find him fresh in towel. Water was dripping from his hairs on his chest then his 8 pack abs. His one stare towards me made me go frozen and old memories runned on my mind.
Before he started walking towards me I walked towards side table placing tray. I looked down standind there he smirked and went to wear something finally.
He came after a minute and I was sitting on his bed waiting for him. I was chatting with Alex talking about Lauren and Jack. Alex said she loved it and was dancing like crazy made me laugh too. I told him to go downstairs now in his room and dinner is kept in grandma’s room.
Yes before coming up I placed their dinner their so they don’t get caught by devil. Talk about devil and he is here. Ethan came took seat beside me. He was about to look at my phone but I kept aside and looked at him.
“Is it something entertaining in phone than me?”, he asked throught jealousy.
“Yes it was. Why are you jealous?”, I said teasingly and giggled.
“No!!”, he said grabbing food and avoiding me.
“Chill it was just a meme. No need to be jealous Ethan”, he looked at me and smirked.
“My name seems more beautiful from your tongue isn’t it.”
“May be!!!”, I said shrugging my shoulder. “So how was your day?”
“Very tiring and boring as always. Thanks to you bcoz of you I skipped fast. Btw why you came so early home? Didn’t even said me bye”, disappointment settled in his eyes.
“Umm… my work finished earlier so I came home early. And didn’t said you bye bcoz you were busy very much with staff’s”, I said looking at him.
He finished his snacks and coffee. He placed the tray aside again and now came close to me placing his hand on mine.
“Sorry for not giving you time. I promise after our launch show we are going for outing with everyone. But that doesn’t means you will be with them everytime. Okay?”, he said with his furrowed eyebrows.
“YES!!!”, I said giggling.
He climbed behind me leaning on headboard stretching his legs. He pulled me holding my waist toward him and my back hit his chest. Ethan rested my head on his chest making me lean on him fully.
I stayed in his arms for more than a hour and honestly we both felt sleepy. It was past 9 pm in night and Alex gave me a call for knowing is everything under controlled.
My eyes shoot open hearing my phone ring and I silenced it. As I didn’t wanted to make Ethan wake up he needed to rest. I texted Alex and my eyes caught the time on phone.
I tried to free myself but it was wasn’t possible as he snaked his arm tightly over me. As if I will run out from here leaving him alone. But he doesn’t know’s if he is thinking this than its totally wrong. I can spend my whole life in his arms with peace, pleasure and happiness.
In the attempt of getting free I woked him up only to get his grip more tight on me. He was awake now but still a sleepy head.
“Why are you trying to free yourself love?”, he asked.
“Dinner time has already past out and its 9:25 pm right now. Don’t you feel hungry?”
“Are you hungry?”, he said keeping his chin on my head.
“Yes I am”, I said in low voice as hunger was all over me.
I didn’t had snacks also beacuse I was busy wity decoration and got started after changing. Now I feel like I can’t even move just food can give me energy.
“Okay!”, he said kissing my head and freed me.
He got up from bed heading towards door. I stared him and he gave me hint to come behind him. I went down with him and he made me sit on dining table.
Ethan microwave the food and served for us in plate. He has served in one plate only for making our dinner sharing. He feed me food and so did I.
I loved our feeding moment and want it to go like this only. I feel like even I am having a date with him as we have all privacy, food, time, moment, cuddles, hugs, care and attention. Only decoration and perfect clothes are missing but it’s still beautiful.
We completed our dinner and washed plate together. It was fun and I hope my bestie is having it also. When we almost completed washing dishes I splashed water on Ethan’s face. He splashed too but before he could make me wet I ran from there.
He caught me after running behind me in living room passing from one couch to another but he caught me atlast. The next moment I was in his arms and he spun me out. We were giggling chasing and having fun with each other.
We had icecream after having fun moment and headed to our rooms. This time I was in my room sleeping alone and he was in his room. I just slept one night with him and I am already addicted to it.
I switched off my rooms light and was just asleep when he barged inn. Ethan locked the door and got inside my duvet when his arm touched my waist. My eyes opened in shock before I could scream I got to know who was it.
He buried his head in my neck giving chill shivers on spine. My body was loving his warm breath and touch on it and was enjoying fully under him.
Ethan pulled me more towards him and pressed my left breast slightly. It was like someone giving electric shocks to me I felt. But else of that he didn’t moved a bit nor did anything else of whispering good night in my ears.
I smiled and wished him good night too placing my hand on him.
