chapter 3

In my eyes, there is only you.

"You didn't tell me where we are going?" Deborah asked

"Don't you trust me?" Dave asked focused on the road. For some reasons he couldn't define, he noticed that she built a wall around her emotions today. He noticed she was more composed today than yesterday. The innocent cute aura was gone, replaced with a conspicuous classic lady. If not that he has seen her switch between one personality and another, he would have doubted she was the same person from yesterday. But the thing that worries him is the fact that she must be responding to his attitude or gestures. He tried to remember where he has acted wrongly or said something wrong. He couldn't think of anywhere he has wronged her.

"If I don't trust you, I wouldn't be sitting here with you and going to God knows where." Her voice brought him back from his wandering thoughts. He could sense the scarsm in her voice. He chuckled

" And what's funny" Deborah asked with her brows furrowed.

"I am good at observing people and you are a special case for me. I can sense you build a wall around your emotions today. I would love to know why" Dave asked taking a glance at her.

Deborah frowned. Why was it so easy for this guy to read her mind. No one apart from Nnajagua does that. She bit her lower lips.

"Do you like slim girls? " Deborah asked

Dave was forced to look at her. He wondered what was going through her mind. But it seems this questions is related to what is making her tensed. So he must answer with care or get screwed.

"I like you as you are, Deborah. I am attracted to everything about you" Dave answered

Deborah sneered, he does not only read her mind but also know her to escape her tricky question. This guy sees too much of her!

" And you know what I like must about you?" Dave asked

"No, tell me" Deborah answered

"Your heart and how real you are. You are just being yourself, not competing with anyone or coping anyone. You are so pure that it reflects in your smile. I am smitten by you,Deborah" Dave said

"Hmmm, all things smitten, has to go through fire so did you go through fire to be smitten by me? Deborah asked obviously

Dave laughed. He was happy she was breaking down the walls at last.

"What if I am willing to go through fire for you, My love?" Dave asked which left Deborah puzzled. What did he mean by that.

"You might not believe how much I love you Deborah" Dave said looking straight at her.

Deborah could feel the sincerity from his voice. It wasn't just because Dave was handsome or had a nice car, there was this cozy feelings inside her that warms up to him. It just felt natural being around him. Like it was where she was meant to be. The feeling like someone was truly yours.

They finally arrived at a resort. Deborah gave Dave a knowing look. Dave shot his hands up in the air in defense. " We aren't lodging okay. I booked a boat here so we are going to explore the sea." Dave said.

"Okay, but you should have informed me about your plans. What if I don't like yachting?" Deborah asked pretending to be offended.

" Of course I am sure you like it. Do you not like peaceful and natural environment?" Dave asked.

"Who this guy? Why does he know her so we'll" Deborah thought bitting her lower lips.

"Don't go tomatoes okay. There are till a thousand list of things I want to do with you. If you keep blushing I might just forget everything I planned and kiss you instead." Dave said

Deborah's jaw slacked.

"I have ever seen a man as shameless as you are with his perverted thoughts." Deborah commented. This guy keeps surprising her.

" A man is only this free with the woman he likes and since you are my Woman, it will be a waste if I don't use this talent on you" Dave winked.

Deborah was lost of words, this guy beats her in everything. She must become resistant to his words unless she might never stand staring at him.

" My lady, could you do me the hounours by stepping down from the car? " Dave stretced out his hands for her to hold.

Deborah quickly snapped out of her thoughts and received his hands.

They both walked to get their boat and yachting equipment.

As the boat speed on the sea, Deborah was mesmerized by the beauty of nature. Her smile was radiant and Dave knew he did make a good choice bringing her out here. He was ready to do anything to keep her by his side. He couldn't thank God for giving him he opportunity of meeting her now that she is still just Deborah without any title or fame. He knows that time will come when, she wont just be a woman but a figure of honour. There will be a lot of competition for her but he would have beaten them to it. He smiled at his plans.

But, life remains unpredictable. We only makes wishes but can not make them come through. There are destines that are fixed while there are some that dance to the beat of fate. Love isn't love if it is not tested.
