Start a relationship

Morning was approaching and Duke had woken up before Thea. He looked at Thea's beautiful face that was still sleeping peacefully while caressing her delicate cheeks.

Thea woke up from the caress and smiled at Duke.

"Good morning, Baby," Duke greeted as he kissed Thea's lips.

"You working today?" asked Duke.

"Hmm, I came in a bit late," replied Thea who closed her eyes again and hugged Duke's body looking for warmth on this cold morning.

"Let's take a shower," said Duke softly.

"I'm still sleepy and I don't want to get out of this warmth, Duke," Thea replied softly.

Duke hugged Thea's innocent body and let her fall asleep again.

Duke opened his cell phone and there were many incoming messages from his assistant and some friends.

Duke had an important meeting this morning and he had to let go of his embrace with Thea.

"Where are you going?" asked Thea.

"I have a meeting this morning. I have to go to the company, honey," replied Duke who then returned to kiss Thea's lips and then got out of bed and entered the bathroom.

"There's a new toothbrush in the bathroom cabinet. You can use it," Thea said.

"Hmm," Duke replied.

Thea resumed her sleep by lifting her blanket high until it covered her neck.

Not long after, Duke came out of the bathroom and put on his clothes from yesterday.

Duke hung it neatly in his closet. That simple thing made Duke smile.

Duke waited for the assistant to arrive to deliver his suit.

Thea woke up and didn't see Duke. Then she picked up her shirt and put it on and went into the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth.

Thea came out of the room and saw Duke still sitting on his couch, busy with his cell phone.

Thea quickly went to the kitchen and made a sandwich for her breakfast this morning.

"Are you awake?" asked Duke who saw Thea already in the kitchen.

"Yes, I'm hungry," Thea replied.

Duke walked up to Thea and hugged her from behind while kissing her neck which was her favorite place.

"Duke, don't disturb me," said Thea who had difficulty moving because of Duke's embrace.

"What are you cooking?" asked Duke watching Thea stirring the eggs.

"Sandwich. You don't mind having breakfast like this?" asked Thea.

"Hmm, no problem," replied Duke kissing Thea's cheek and then picking up his cell phone which was ringing.

"Yeah, okay. I'll wait upstairs," Duke replied briefly then closed his cell phone.

Not long after, the apartment doorbell rang and Duke immediately opened it.

"Thanks, Alan," Duke said at the door then quickly went back inside carrying a bag of suits.

"Who is it?" asked Thea.

"My assistant. I told him to bring me my suit," Duke said and put on his suit right there.

After 15 minutes had passed, Thea brought her sandwich to the bar table and sat there as well as Duke.

"What time do you get off?" Duke asked.

"Night," Thea replied.

"I'll pick you up," Duke said as he ate his sandwich.

And Thea wiped the bread crumbs on the edge of Duke's lips with a tissue.

Duke smiled. Yes, he was beginning to understand Thea's character who was very organized and liked cleanliness.

Even when cooking, Thea was very neat in arranging the ingredients on the kitchen table.

"Alright, I'm off first. Love you, Baby," Duke kissed Thea's lips.

'Is it that easy to love me?' Thea thought as she heard Duke's words of love.

Thea smiled at Duke's departure. She felt her life was complete now. And Duke made it complete.

Thea hoped that her relationship with Duke would always be good.

Thea went to the college with Alice. Alice asked a lot of questions like a detective. Alice, who usually never wants to know her business, is finally very curious about Thea and Duke's relationship.

"You won't have to work anymore if you marry him, Thea," Alice said.

"I haven't thought that far, Alice. Our relationship is still technically new. We're still getting to know each other," Thea replied.

"Relax, Thea... Relax... Don't be so rigid. You should enjoy it more. Mr. Duke is really a hot and gentle man. Is he good in bed?" Alice asked.

"Very. That's what I'm always looking for," replied Thea.

Alice laughed loudly at Thea's words.

"Just this morning he told me that he loved me," Thea continued.

"Wow... You got your lottery, Thea. You're a catch," Alice laughed again.

Once on campus, Thea and Alice were surprised by something. Mr. Edward appeared in the parking lot with a brand new luxury car.

"I didn't expect Mr. Edward to be so rich that he could afford such a luxurious car," Alice said.

Thea started to digest what she saw until Mr. Edward looked at Thea and approached her.

"Miss Thea, I think this is too much. Mr. Duke gave me this. I'm so nervous I'm speechless," Edward said with a surprised look on his face.

Thea and the Duke were equally speechless. Thea did not expect the small gift that would be given to Mr. Edward to be a luxury car.

"Miss Thea?" called Edward and brought Thea back to her senses.

"Ah yes, I guess you'll just have to accept. He's just like that. I'm going to my room, sir. I have a class in half an hour," Thea replied casually and headed straight to her room.

"Thea, he really is crazy about you," Alice said excitedly.

"I don't know, maybe for him it's just a small gift. But for us it really makes me speechless," Thea said as she walked.

Night fell, Thea returned to her room and saw a parcel box on her desk. Thea opened it and saw a beautiful evening gown.

Thea took the letter inside and opened it.

'Wear this dress. We're going to a party tonight. I'll pick you up at 7pm... From Duke ❤' the message read.

Thea looked at the beautiful black dress and put it on. Thea put on her makeup that was always in her desk drawer.

Alice suddenly appeared from behind the door.

"You're so beautiful. Where are you going, beautiful?" Alice asked.

"Duke's taking me to a party," Thea replied as she put on her lipstick.

"Accept him if he proposes to you," said Alice excitedly.

"Oh God, Alice. I told you we're just getting to know each other. And marriage is not an easy thing. I'll think long and hard about marriage," Thea replied.

Alice just shook her head at the hardness of Thea's heart who was still reluctant to get married.

Thea picked up her cell phone which was ringing. And Duke told her to get out because he was already in the campus parking lot.

Then Thea put on her warm black coat.

"Bye," Belle said goodbye to Alice.

"Have a good night, Thea. Don't forget to hold his hand because there must be a lot of female eyes looking at him," Alice teased while laughing softly.

Thea then got out of there and headed for Duke's car.

Duke stood leaning against his luxury car and he smiled charmingly when he saw Thea from afar.

Thea approached him and Duke immediately hugged her slender waist and kissed her lips. Thea didn't resist the kiss because the campus was quiet.

"You're so beautiful, Baby," Duke whispered.

Thea smiled and they got into the car and left for the party.
