Bella’s POV
I was confused as to what is going on. That is when I felt something hot and wet in my shoulder. I pulled away as I cupped Xavier’s face.
He was having tears. He wasn’t crying or sobbing. But tears were flowing. I grabbed the chair and made him sit down. I cupped his face making him look at me.
“Hey, what’s wrong?” I asked in a soft voice as if speaking to a child. “You don’t love me. You will never love a monster like me. I am not worth your love. I don’t deserve it.” He kept rambling.
It was like he hated himself. My eyes start to tear up at his vulnerability. How can he even think himself as a monster.
“Look at me. You are not a monster. You understand?” I told him sternly as if a mother is talking to her children.
“You don’t think I am a monster?” He asked me as he bit his lips with shiny eyes. He reminds me of a small puppy. How can he think of himself as a monster?
I shook my head at him as I smiled to reassure him. “D-Do you love me then?” He asked me with so much hope.
I just bit my lip as I thought of the surprise upstairs. Seeing this his face drop. I grabbed his hands and tugged him to stand.
With a confused face he stood up. I dragged him along upstairs as he followed like a lost puppy. All the while he held on to my hands tightly.
Soon we were in front of our room. I was standing there nervously biting my lips. “Mio Amore, what is it?” he asked as he bent down and cupped my cheeks.
I gathered all my courage. ” Open the door.” I said softly. He gave me a confused look before twisting the door and went inside.
Xavier’s POV.
As I opened the door and entered, I gasped. There were candles and roses. It was unbelievable. The room was dark yet there was light from candles and the moon.
I was mesmerized by everything.
But what surprised me most was that in the bed, it was written ‘I love you, Xavier.’ in rose petals with a heart and a plate of brownie.
As I turned around, I saw the most beautiful person standing there nervously with her head hung low and even with the limited light I could see the blush in her face as she bit her lip to control it.
I hadn’t realised the dress she was wearing. It was a black dress. My favourite colour. It was backless as the straps around her neck.
She was gorgeous. I went to her at an inhuman speed and was engulfed into a tight hug. I start to pepper her face with kisses.
I hugged her tightly. So tight that not even air could go through us. “Say it.” I slowly growled out wanting to hear it from her lips.
“I love you, Xavier.” She said. She pulled me as she cupped my face. “I love you so much that it physically pained me when you were not here. I was lost without your arms around me that made me safe.
I am so sorry that I did not realise this before. But without you I feel like there is no air for me to breathe. I feel so cold without you. I would love you till my last breath. I promise.” She looked into my eyes with love.
I was speechless after she spoke to me. She loves me so deeply. She loves me so much. I took her in my arms and spun around. I was in cloud nine.
So happy. As I let her down I cupped her face. “You made me the happiest man alive. I AM SO F*UCKING HAPPY. WOOHOO!!” I screamed.
She chuckled at my behaviour. Both Damien and me were elated. Damien was jumping around in happiness.
She took me and grabbed my hands bringing me to the plate. She took the brownie plate and gave it to me. As I saw it, I grinned and encouraged me to eat it.
I took the brownie and bit it and should I say, it was luscious. It was so tasteful. I have never eaten something so tasteful.
The inside of the brownie was like chocolate fudge. I turned to look as she was anticipatingly looking at me.
“Love, who did this. It’s delicious.” I said as I took another bite. She bite her lips. It’s something she does when she is nervous of blushing.
“Erm, I did this.” when she said, I paused. “You did this?” I asked her again. She nodded her head. “Love this is amazing. Gosh you must do this everyday. When did you learn to bake?” I asked as I got over excitement.
“When I was young, My mum and I would bake this. I still remember when my father would always pout when my mother said she can’t bake for him.
Whenever My mother and I bake, I will be covered in flour that my mother will laugh till she falls to the floor.” she said, finishing as I saw her eyes twinkle as she remembered those times.
In order to make her comfortable, I start asking questions. “So what else does my angel bakes?” I ask as I raise my eyebrows at her.
“Well chocolate cookies, cupcakes and my favourite, Chocolate cakes.” She said as she glee in excitement when she talked about the chocolate cake.
“One day you should make all of them for me.” I said as I grabbed the plates and placed it at the side table. I pulled her close to me and hugged her.
Bella’s POV.
As Xavier pulled me into him, he hugged me as I sat in his lap with my back pressed against his chest. He started to kiss my neck. Without knowing-. I let out a moan.
“Gosh you have no idea how much I missed you over the week.” he said in a husky voice that sent a shiver. I just hummed for a response.
He started to assault my sensitive spot. He sucked, kissed and licked at my most sensitive spot.
Without realising the words came flying out of my mouth.
“Mark me, Xavier.”
