Chapter Eighteen

She kissed me

I am going crazy, I know. But it's good. I feel good.

Instead of ordering her, I requested not to go out with that idiot. And she said yes!!!

I was finally relieved to hear those words from her. So I kissed her and pulled her beside me. Hugging and cuddling, we both just slept off together.

Now here I am, with my beautiful girl enjoying my lovely morning peacefully.

She is such an angel. I placed the loose strands of hair behind her ears and gave a feather light kiss on top of her forehead. She squirmed a bit but was still asleep. I slowly got up without waking her up and headed towards the washroom. Got freshened up and went near to the balcony.

Gave a quick order for our breakfast then turned towards my cellphone to check up on my schedule.

Hmm have to visit the site for the new project with Mr. Rosario.

Rosario's... I won't allow that idiot to have my girl. Somehow he will try to convince her make new plans for his date.

I will have to think of something. Cool, change of plans.

I am going to take her on a date.

Scarlet's Pov~

I feel tired and lazy to get up. Just then I remembered about last night.

Oh god! I kissed him!!!!.

A smile crept across my mouth and it was like an intense kiss moment that we shared yesterday. It was a small confession through that kiss; I do have feelings for him.

Damn shit!.

I got up instantly. How stupid of me!

But it's not wrong kissing a guy because you love him.

Love him. Did I just say that...?

Oh no. This is bad. This is bad.

I can't let myself get hurt and then tend to my broken heart in future.

He is The Alexander Pearce, CEO.

Being in relationship with him is like a big crime. Besides he himself is not sure about the feelings which he has for me.

Oh god, I'm going crazy now.

I got up and headed towards the bedroom, got freshen up and then I realized he is not here.

Where did he go?

At the table I saw breakfast and a note.

Dove,

I had to leave early for the meeting. I have kept my credit card on the table. You can use it.

~A.P.

Seriously!!!!!

I don't need his credit card. I have one of my own. Damn him.

I stared at his credit card and then at his note.

Well, I'll do my shopping with my own money. So I kept the note and his credit card inside my purse safely and headed outside.

It's a beautiful day. I still can't believe I'm here. I could feel the fresh air surrounding me and the warmth from the sunlight. I am in awe with this place.

I was walking along the streets and headed into one of the mall. The very first thing which I wanted to get was a cellphone for me. So I purchased an android phone which was cool enough for me.

Then I thought I'll kind of get gifts for Lory and for my sister Sera. I need to call Sera it's been two weeks I've not spoken with her, I miss her so much. We often call each other but this time she might be worried about me as I've not spoken with her since two weeks ago.

She would have loved to come here and enjoy the scenic beauty of this place. One day I will travel along with her to many more beautiful places and make memories with her. After my shopping I was totally exhausted and hungry so I decided to go to a small restaurant and I found one.

The place had a nice comfy ambience and a variety of food. I know there is a communication barrier between me and these people but with sign languages we understood each other and a big thanks to google translator as well!!

So, I had a great time here for shopping and food. Now it was time to get back to the hotel. I was just about to walk towards the hotel when I heard someone calling my name.

I turned around to see who it was.

"You...? What are you doing here? "I asked him with a surprised look.

He was smiling charmingly and replied with his thick Italian accent,

"Well, was looking for you. Remember we were supposed to go together for a tour today. But I guess you already are enjoying a tour for yourself."

"Oh. Yeah. Well, I was just doing a bit shopping nothing much."

"I got to know that you lost your cellphone. I tried calling you several times and then contacted Mr. Pearce."

"Yes. But I got a new one. See."

"Oh!! Hmm wait a minute let me see. It's cool and I need to save my number into it once again. Oh yes, here done. And now come on lets go. I'll show you some cool places around here."

He caught my hand and pulled me along with him towards his red Ducati superbike. I couldn't say No to him. So we settled onto his bike and rode off through the streets of Rome.

He showed me several historical sites, churches, street shopping market, cafes, street food areas etc. He even gifted me a very beautiful red gown.

He is a really sweet guy, well natured and quite charming and a sexy Italian. Yes I like him, who wouldn't?

He definitely knows how to impress a g.irl and shower all his attention towards her.

But I am not feeling those sparks inside me like the weird feeling in the pit of my stomach or difference in my heartbeat when I am with Alexander.

Suddenly I remembered about our last night's kiss and my cheeks got redden and I was smiling like an idiot.

"What is it that you're smiling about?"

Max asked me curiously while we were near a lake side view.

"Oh nothing...It's just a beautiful memory." I replied while I looked at him. He was smiling back at me and then suddenly his expression changed and he came forward towards me and held my both hands in his and said,

"Caro....I think I need to tell you this right now.

I really find you very much attractive and I always tell you that. It's the truth, you are always in my mind and I feel like your perfect for me. You are kind, smart and a hard worker.

I really feel lucky to meet you and want to know you more and more so that if things work out with us then we can have a future together. "

Right now he is on his knees. Kissed my hands and looking right into my eyes. I was beyond shocked to listen to whatever he just said right now.

"Will you be my girlfriend Caro? I promise to keep you happy always."

I was standing there like a statue; I could see admiration for me in his eyes. Then I looked at our hands and then near to max's shadow I saw another shadow of a man. I looked up to see who it is.

Alexander!

Scarlet's Pov~~~

Alexander was standing there looking at us. Our eyes met and I could see through his eyes that he is indeed hurt. I could feel it from here and my heart is pounding inside me.

"Will you be my girlfriend?

I promise to keep you always happy princess." Max stood up now and once again said adoringly holding my hands together.

I am feeling those weird sensations inside me and it is caused by only one person, Alexander Pearce. Why do I feel it? Because I am falling in love with him and I want to be loved by him and only him.

I don't want to push away those feelings neither want to deny it. Yes I am attracted to my boss.

Max is a great guy but I am not his princess and he is not my prince. So I did what I should do. I looked into Max's eyes and said,

"Max, you're a great guy, very considerate, successful in your work and one of the most damn handsome man I have ever met here in Italy. But,

I am sorry I don't feel the same way as you feel for me. I consider you as my best friend whom I would like to cherish my whole life as a friend. One day you will find your princess and that day will be soon buddy."

"Oh okay. No problem. I just... umm... would you mind if I ask you something?" He was not at all angry. Like an understanding person he is, he just asked me calmly and I nodded him in response.

"It's him, isn't it? Well, you like him. That's the reason why you're not reciprocating towards my feelings. Hmm..."

"Yes" I blushed.

Leaning towards me he whispered into my ears by asking,

"And he is standing behind me right?"

"Yes." I replied him back and I could see that Alexander is in a much tensed state.

Max kissed my left cheek and mumbled a goodnight. He then turned towards Alexander and acknowledged him with a handshake and left us alone.

Now it's my turn to let my prince know my answer to his proposal.

I couldn't stop myself from falling in love with this man who is standing in front of me, there is an eerie silence between us and I walked towards him and stood right in front of him.

His mesmerizing green eyes held a lot of questions and as I said before he is tensed. But he is keeping his calm which I never expected from him.

Breaking the silence between us I calmly stated looking straight into his eyes,

"I said no to him."

Realizing what I said to him, he had a huge smile on his face and now his tensed self-relaxed back. Also I could see a spark in his eyes.

"I found my prince and he is standing right in front of my eyes, looking at me with a hopeful sign. So....Mr. Alexander Pearce, I want to give us a chance. My answer is yes ."

Right then without a word he pulled me towards him and kissed me like his life depended on our kiss.
