We were settled now, the house was Magnifique. There wasn’t anything it lacked. I couldn’t still believe he bought it for me. I was happy that he did but I didn’t see the need to. Evie and I were in her room now, I was arranging her luggage.
“So he bought the house for you mommy? ” she asked squealing. It was still unbelievable.
“Yes, he did,” I replied.
“It’s beautiful. Are we going to live here now? ” she excitedly asked.
“No Evie,” I answered chuckling. “We’re just on a vacation.”
“Oh,” she said sadly. “What are we going to be doing? ”
“Anything we want. Shopping, sightseeing etc.”
“It sounds fun. I’m looking forward to it.”
“I am too,” I answered I can’t wait to explore the beautiful city of Paris.
So the past few days have been spent sightseeing, we’ve walked down the street of Paris, visited some historical places. We’ve also gotten to know each other better. We’ve been spending a lot of time lately.
“Do you think we can work things out between us?” Kel asked and I looked up at him. He was sitting and I was lying on his laps.
“I don’t know, I just need some things to be okay. I might forgive you later on but I don’t think you would.” that was a simple truth and besides he was already getting in.
“What did you even do to me that has you thinking I’d hate you.”
This was another avenue to tell him” Kel, I …” and then Evie barged in.
“Hey, Evie, what’s up? ” Kel asked
“I’m tired of playing alone. Let’s go somewhere fun,” she whined
“Okay. Let’s go change then.” Kel said and she let out an excited yay running to her room.
“You wanted to say something. ” Kel started
“I just hope you’d forgive me and things would be okay with us because I’m slowly forgiving you.”
I don’t think he heard well because he was smiling like crazy as if I said I love him. I’d hate to see how he’d feel once he finds out that I kept his daughter away from him.
” We’d get there Shayan, whatever thing it is you think I’d hate you for I wouldn’t, the highest thing I can do is be mad at you, I can never hate you, never forget that,” he said kissing me on my forehead.
This is why I couldn’t help but fall for him the first time, he just knows what to say. I just hope he would never hate me. I don’t know why I have been feeling guilty, maybe it was because my feelings for him was coming back. To be honest, I don’t think it ever left.
Kel has been very caring lately, he’s attentive, takes his time with me. Wakes me up with breakfast in bed and roses. I know he’s trying but some things need to be amended. So today we’re shopping. We got to one of the most popular clothing store Chanel and Hermes. We were the only ones in the store. Kel insisted I got anything I want and I had to show him how it looked, it was kind of awkward at first but later it was cool. I got a lot of accessories and perfumes. We also went shopping for Evie too. On our way home we visited a local shop down the street and I bought some toys for Evie. She had gift items, souvenirs and I bought some for my parents. I was standing in front of the mirror checking something when I spotted Kel behind me. He placed a gold necklace with a heart-shaped pendant on my neck. It was beautiful, simple but beautiful.
“Thank you,” I said turning to face him.
“No, thank you for giving me a chance. I know I’ve been the worst person to you and I promise to be the best for you, treat you like the queen you are. I know nothing is going to make up for my actions or words in the past but I hope you find it to forgive me someday and regardless of what you think I can never hate you Shayan. I promise to stand by you.” I don’t know why but this felt like a proposal. His words touched me deeply, it awakened the deepest of the emotions I had once buried.
We just stood staring, looking into each other’s eyes. There was something left unspoken in his. He leaned in holding my waist, I placed my hands on his chest. He tilted his head pulling me closer to him before putting his lips on mine. There was this jolt of electricity when our lips connected. It was a really slow kiss, taking our time with it, saying the things we still couldn’t tell each other. We put a lot of passion into the kiss and it was just wow, it’s like every time we kiss it keeps on getting better. We pulled out and he pulled me into a hug.
The next day we were swimming, playing in the pool and no I wasn’t in a bikini. Evie had a floater around her waist and she was splashing water around.
“Why didn’t you wear a bikini?” Kel asked his breath fanning my neck.
“I didn’t just want t,” I replied.
“You have an amazing body Shayan, don’t keep it to yourself, at least share it with m,” he smirked and I chuckled hitting him on the head.
“Sometime soon.” I smiled saying and he did too pulling me to him.
“I’m looking forward to it and another thing,” he smirked saying.
“Other things like?” I asked raising my eyebrows while drawing circles on his chest.
“Like this.” his hand cupped my butt and we were about to kiss when Evie cleared her throat. Oh, I forgot she was here.
“I don’t want to see anything I shouldn’t be seeing and I’m tired of swimming already.” well that was embarrassing.
Kel laughed and carried her out of the water. “There’s something on your leg, what’s that? ” Kel asked bending to inspect it. My heart was beating drastically, what if he knew?
“Mommy said it’s a birthmark,” she answered smiling
“It’s pretty. I have something like that at the same place.”
“So we’re twins then,” Evie said and Kel laughed carrying her upstairs.
I didn’t know what to make of the situation but still sighed in relief anyways
