TIFFANY’S POV
She bid her friends goodbye and climbed into the waiting car and Lucas drove off. They arrived home and she bid him goodbye before heading inside. She got to her room and freshened up and changed into something comfortable. Hungry, she went downstairs to fix herself lunch.
After satisfying her hunger, she returned to her room and settled down to read. She was still at it when her phone suddenly rang, and she saw Lucas’ name flashing on the screen. She immediately answered the call.
“Hey, Tiffany,” he said. “I’m downstairs. Put on something suitable and come down, we’re going somewhere.”
Surprised, she asked, “Where are we going? What’s the occasion?”
“It’s a surprise,” he replied. “Shawn’s behind it, so you know it’s going to be good. Just trust me and come down.”
Curiosity piqued, she agreed and hung up. She quickly changed into a gown suitable for an outdoor outing and headed downstairs.
She got into the car and he drove off. On their way, she tried convincing him to tell her where they were headed but he stayed mute and asked her to exercise patience as they would soon be there. They soon arrived at a car dealership shop, and he parked the car in the parking lot. Her eyes widened with awe at the sight of numerous luxurious cars as they walked inside, and she was even more shocked when she saw Shawn.
“Why are we here? Aren’t you supposed to be at work?”
“Relax, you’ll find out soon,” he replied.
The shop owner led them to the car showroom, and Tiffany couldn’t believe her eyes. She was surrounded by sleek and sophisticated cars, each more impressive than the last.
“Make a choice. Don’t be prudent about it. Any car you like here, pick it.” Shawn said and she gasped and turned to look at him.
“Are you kidding me?” she asked, her eyes almost bulging out if their sockets.
“No. Go ahead.” He said, motioning her forward.
Touched by his generosity, she ran to hug him. Afterward, the car owner helped her make a choice. After careful contemplation, she settled for a stunning Bentley Continental GT.
As Shawn made the payment, she couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed with gratitude. Soon, it was time for them to head home, and Shawn needed to return to work. Lucas drove the car they arrived in, while a staff member from the car shop drove her new car behind them.
Once they got home, the man parked the car and bid them farewell, and left. She turned to Lucas, gratitude in her eyes. “Thank you so much, Lucas.”
He smiled warmly. “You deserve it. Enjoy your new car.”
She nodded, waved him goodbye and walked inside. She was brimming with excitement as she got to her room. Her love and admiration for him just skyrocketed.
She couldn’t wait to break the news to her father so she dialed his number.
“Hey, princess.” He said when he picked up.
“Dad, guess what?” She said excitedly.
“You know I can’t guess. What is going on?”
“Shawn got me a Bentley Continental GT car.”
“Wow! This is good news, princess. That was kind of him.”
“I know, right. I’m so excited.”
“You should be, my dear. That car cost an arm and a leg.”
“How are you doing, Dad?” She asked, changing the topic.
“I’m good, princess. Your Dad is healthy now. I have been following the doctor’s instructions.”
“That’s good to hear. I will take a picture of my car and send it to you, okay?”
“I will be gladly expecting. I have to go now, princess. I have a meeting on zoom with some business partners.
“Alright. Bye, Dad.”
As the call ended, she dropped her phone and threw her legs up in excitement.
Feeling a bit exhausted from the day’s events, she decided to take a quick nap before preparing dinner. She laid down on the bed and closed her eyes, the excitement of her new car still lingering in her mind.
After the short nap, she woke up feeling refreshed. She glanced at the clock and realized it was time to start preparing dinner. She made her way downstairs to the kitchen, eager to cook a delicious meal for Shawn.
As she chopped vegetables and seasoned the meat, her thoughts wandered back to the events of the day. She couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed with gratitude towards Shawn, he had truly gone above and beyond to make her happy.
Once the food was ready, she set the table and admired her handiwork. The aroma of the meal filled the air, making her smile in pride. Then she went upstairs to freshen up.
Upon returning downstairs, she sat at the table and waited for Shawn to arrive home. It didn’t take long before she heard the front door open and the sound of footsteps approaching. A smile spread across her face as he entered the sitting room.
“Welcome home,” she greeted him cheerfully.
He returned her smile and kissed her on the cheek. “Thank you. The house smells amazing.”
“Yes, it does. All you have to do is go upstairs, freshen up, change into something comfortable and then come back to partake in this sumptuous meal.”
“Is that it? I’m going upstairs now.” He pecked her cheek and went upstairs. She stayed back in the sitting room to wait for him. A few minutes later, he came back.
They took their seats, and she served the food. As they ate, they engaged in light conversation about their day and the plans they had for the weekend. She took the opportunity to express her gratitude once again.
“I can’t thank you enough for the car, Shawn,” she said in a sober tone. “It means the world to me.”
He reached across the table and took her hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. “You deserve it. With everything you have been through and survived, I just want to see you happy.”
Tears welled up in her eyes as she felt touched by his love and generosity. She had never imagined a day like this would come when Shawn Gold would treat her with so much love.
After finishing their meal, he offered to help her clear the table and they cleared it together and did the dishes. She insisted on doing her fair share of the work, as he ought to be resting after the day’s work. Once everything was clean and tidy, they headed upstairs to get ready for bed.
As they reached his bedroom door, he turned to her with pleading eyes. “Would you like to sleep in my room tonight?”
She felt warmth spread through her body at the thought of sharing a bed with him again. She nodded, unable to resist the offer. “Yes, I would love that.”
He opened the door and they stepped into the room, their hands intertwined. The lights were dim, creating a cozy and intimate atmosphere. She felt a sense of contentment wash over her as they settled into bed, with him cuddling her.
With a contented sigh, she drifted off to sleep, wrapped safely in his arms.
