I abandoned my car and crossed the road in a jiff. I hurriedly stepped into the cinema, worried that I might miss her. She could be in any of the rooms watching a movie, and if she were, I would have to wait for two hours for her to come out of there. My eyes skimmed the whole floor and finally rested on her back. She was facing the board, nibbling on her index finger, pondering whether she should or shouldn’t watch a movie. Which movie? I couldn’t care less. As long as I get to talk to her and get to know her, it’ll be enough for me.

“Should I or shouldn’t I?” she mused.

“Whatever it is, I think you should,” I answered from right behind her. Then she slowly turned around to face me.

Her long and wavy brunette locks swayed as she pivoted. For that moment, my breath caught in my throat as my blue eyes locked with her hazel ones; sparks erupted in me.

“You think I should?” she asked, looking straight into my eyes.

“Wholeheartedly,” I replied softly.

“Which would you prefer?” she continued.

“Whichever your heart desires,” I bantered, eyes glinting.

“Hmm… Have you watched The Martian before?” she spoke again in her husky tone.

“Nope,” I smirked.

“Do you want a gist of it? I won’t tell if you hate spoilers,” she smiled.

For a moment, I was rooted to the spot by her carefree and beguiling smile. Man, I am hooked. Totally and unconditionally hooked.


My Curvy Italian Queen

I chuckled as I looked back at the generous estate. It is truly a sight to behold; the expanse and view would sit on me for years to come if I was given the opportunity to live here; the serenity was very becoming.


“How big is the estate, Kin?” I asked; curiosity got the better of me.


“The building is approximately 16,000-square-feet as it sits on more than five acres of land. You could see the shorelines of the Long Island Sound from here. I’ll give you a grand tour during our stay here, love,“ he murmured.


“Be careful. I might end up not wanting to go back to New York City after this,” I grinned.


“Then, I will move my office to wherever you want to be, sweetheart,” Kin responded, eyes glinting. He made me want to drown in his bluest of blue, to surface back up and drown in again and again.
