Xavier’s POV
By the time I was done it was eleven am and she hasn’t woken up yet, thank God, my eyes were heavy, but it was worth it, I took a cup of coffee and went upstairs just as she was waking up.
“Xavier, you went to get coffee ”
“Yes, I did good morning beautiful ”
“Good morning handsome ”
“Here is you dose of wake up drink”
“Oh, thank you ”
Once I took the coffee, my body woke up immediately and I smiled, I will make this proposal worth it.
I convinced her to stay in bed more as we talked about yesterday, I showed her the picture I took from yesterday, once it was time I spoke up.
“Jessica go prepare, we are have a dinner date”
“Really, when did you reserve a place for us?”
“I didn’t really reserve anywhere, it’s just here, but can you wear that dress I told you I liked? I really would be happy if you do”
“No problem honey, I will gladly do so”
“Thank you, I will give you some time to get ready, call me when you are done”
“Okay then”
I left her to do her thing and went to the other room downstairs to get ready, within an hour or two I was done with my stuff, I went to the stairs to wait for her, everything has already been set just waiting for the star of the night, I was nervous, it wasn’t cold but I was shivering, my fingers were cold that I could feel them, my feet cold too but I stood there waiting.
The sound of her heels clicking softly on the floor alighted me if her presence and when she is standing within my sight, I almost lost my breath, she was….. she was….. she was absolutely indescribable, she looks so stunning in that red dress that I wanted to see her wear only for me.
And I was absolutely smart to request that she wear it only for me because with how beautiful she looks right now, am sure I would have broken someone’s arm or even kill if anyone look at her direction.
I smiled and held out my hand for her to hold, she blushed adding more allure to her already captivating self, her hands were warm contract to my cold ones, she smiled back at me and gently come down the remaining stairs.
“You look so stunning and beautiful babe”
“Thank you Xavier, you don’t look bad yourself ”
“Yeah, I took extra care to look good to you ”
“Well am impressed loverboy ”
“Glad I could do that”
“Now I want you to do something for me”
“What is it?”
“I will blindfold you and led you to your surprise, I promise I won’t let you trip or hurt yourself ”
“Okay then, here are my eyes”
I took out a silk red ribbon and blindfolded her, then I left her slowly and safely outside towards the seaside, a small white canopy was set up there, a candlelight table with red tablecloth was put up, then beautiful flowers and delicacies were set up, the pathway to the canopy was decorated with beautiful natural and good smelling flowers, I must admit, I really outdid myself on this one but it’s worth it, I wanted it to be perfect.
“We are here honey, I will unfold your eyes now”
I gently undid the knot and she opened her eyes and once it adjusted she smiled and looked at me, she stepped into the flowery path and the led lights switched on immediately, giving the whole place a beautiful glow, she gasped and as if on cue, the violinist started a very beautiful song.
“Xav….. Xavier, am….. I don’t know what to say”
“Nothing, you don’t have to say anything babe, I am happy you like it”
“Like it? Oh you must be kidding me, I absolutely love it, it’s so beautiful ”
“Well I find you more beautiful than it but am glad you love it ”
We walked slowly to our canopy that was set out for us, she was admiring the flowers and smiling about, am really glad that she likes it, now the food, once we reached, I pulled out a chair for her to sit down, she thanked me and sat down.
I took my own seat and opened the wine in the ice bucket, I poured into her glass and then mine, then I dished out the food I prepared, I made steak, curry rice, rolled omelette and some fruits snacks, all her favourites.
She cut into the steak, she likes it well cooked and crispy, she took a sip of her wine, her succulent lips inviting as her red tongue licked over it, I was turned in but this isn’t a time for this.
“How do you like it?”
“It’s delicious ”
“I made it, all of our food, wanted to do something special for you ”
“This is already special enough for me babe”
“It isn’t enough, I wanted to make you feel and know how much I cherish you, you are all that I ever wanted or asked for, I love you Jessica ”
“I….. I…. Lo”
“No wait this isn’t about me wanting to hear you say it back, this is me being open to you now, just let me pour my heart out to you ”
“Okay”
I made her try the omelette and curry, I knew she was a foodie but never realised she really liked food that much, well it gave me confidence that I cooked what she really liked and it made me glad.
We. Continued eating and once she had enough, the maids took it away leaving the fruits and wine for us.
“I had a hearty dinner thanks to you ”
“No problem, am just really happy you liked it dear”
“Yeah I sure do”
“Jessica, I have something to tell you”
