Evie smiled as she stepped out of the house_ finally. She had gone back to the mirror over a fifty times to be sure she looked perfect. She smiled as she watched him step out of the car, looking as handsome as ever, just staring at him was enough to make her pull her legs together.
Blake stopped in his steps and his eyes appreciated her body; she was putting on a short pink dress, with sandals, and she had packed her hair up, some strands falling here and there which made her look very cute.
Evie blushed as she looked away from him; “Hey, stop staring at me like that, you're making me blush.” She laughed as she felt her cheeks and ears heat up, her fingers clasped around the basket in her hands tightly.
Blake smiled his head as he approached her, ''how did I get so lucky?” He said as he approached her, Evie’s smile caught on her lips, and she blinked at him;
“What?”
Blake stared at her speechlessly, and then he s
The words Evie was about to say caught on her throat and the world around her felt like it paused for a second;''What… '' her throat was dry; did he... did he just say he loved her?''What did you say? '' she asked to be sure, maybe she was dreaming.Blake blinked; ''I said… I love you, that's why I'm eating this, besides it's not that bad, don't mind what I… ''Evie smiled, her face turning red.''Do you know how long I've waited to hear you say this?” Her eyes danced as she stared at him, wondering why he made her wait too long.Wondering why he made her have sleepless nights, made her worry, made her doubt him, made her so confused... made her cry when he could have just said it...Blake was puzzled; he didn't know he had to say it to prove he loved her. Wait… did she not know he loved her more than breath itself?''You didn't know I love you? '' he stared at her with worry; what in the wor
"And stop with the guilty stare, " she laughed when she noticed that Blake wouldn't stop looking at her like he had done something so unforgivable, if only he knew the joy bubbling in her heart.They ate and talked about other things, after eating, she covered the containers and placed them back in the basket. Lying down, she placed her head on his legs as she relaxed, letting the cool breeze fan her face.Her smile couldn't leave her face, that day had become one of the happiest days of her life.Blake brushes her soft hair with his hands as he gazed at her."Tell me about your childhood." She said suddenly, and Blake was quiet, she waited a moment and when she did not hear him speak, her eyes opened and she looked at him with worry,Did something happen in his childhood?Blake blinked and smiled, "My childhood was the darkest part of my life." He paused for a minute as though trying to recall the memories he had hidden away in the de
Blake licked off the ice cream and sucked her lips before letting her go. Her spoon hung in the air as her cheeks burned, they haven't started the movie yet and things were already happening…Evie blushed,This was going to be a long night. The movie started after a few minutes. Evie laughed so much that her stomach hurt. Blake was enjoying the show too although he was more of an action movie fan than romantic comedy. Her eyes were glued to the big screen when she noticed he slide his hand into hers, intertwining their hands.Her gaze turned to him and she smiled, holding him back she continued watching the movie. After sometime, she noticed his gaze on her and she looked at him,"You don't like the movie?" she asked with a chuckle, he had rested his head on his other hand as he watched her, Evie wondered how long he had been staring at her,"Oh the movie…I love it….” He blinked and turned back the big screen,
Her fingers gripped his shirt tightly and she looked at him with cute puppy eyes. Blake swallowed; his right hand resting on the counter behind her; the kitchen was quiet, only the faint sound of the fridge beside them could be heard.Her eyes locked in his for a moment, as her breath became raspy; she bit her lower lip and she lowered her gaze to his lips;“Babe…” She called with a whimper, she wasn't thinking clearly at this point. Her head was unclear as the only thing she could think about now was touching him. She looked in his eyes again, and she could see the lust in his eyes, at least she wasn't the only one wanting this.''I want you.” She said. Her eyes stared at him firmly. She had never been so confident about anything in her entire life.She had thought she knew what love was with her first love, but she didn't. Everything she had ever believed love was had been a lie, she always thought love was giving without
Evie turned on the bed, her hand falling over the side of the bed, after a few seconds she opened her eyes. It took her less than a second to remember what happened last night and she quickly looked beside her,Blake was not in bed, a sighed in relief and she quickly hopped down from the bed. Naked.Her eyes spotted her sweater and she dashed towards it, throwing it over her body.Aiming for the door, she ran but before she got to it, a very familiar deep voice stopped her,"where are you running to?"Her feet rooted to the ground and she turned around slowly,"Uh… good morning…" She stammered, forcing a smile to her chin. He was shirtless, with only pants on, and he stood beside the bathroom door with a smirk, watching her knowingly,Evie felt naked instantly, the details of the previous night flashing in front of her. Her cheeks burned as she tried to look confident like she was the previous night, but the gaze in his
Evie shook her head, "No… not because of you… I don't just want to get married… yet."H nodded and turned back to her hair. The atmosphere became quiet.Evie’s eyes fell to her hands; did she get him annoyed?Was he serious about getting married now?Wasn't it too soon?She swallowed. She loved him a lot but getting married was a whole different thing. She needed time to think about it, having kids, she wasn't ready…Blake’s eyes watched her expression on the mirror and he knew she was concerned about rejecting him."I was joking."She raised her eyes. He was laughing now,"but it hurt that you don't love me enough to want to marry me.""No, no, I love you, I love you very much. But marriage is a whole different thing."He smiled, "Don't worry I understand;” kissing the side of her cheeks he said,"your hair is done, get changed, let me dress up quickly s
"why are you so cute?"Evie smiled sweetly; "Am I?"Blake’s eyes fell to her lips as she bit her lower lip, his Adam's apple bobbled,"Seductively…" His voice became low and husky. Her cheeks blushed when she saw the way he looked at her.His hands inched down and caressed her neck, pulling her close, she watched his head tilt to the side but just when he was about to kiss her, her stomach grumbled.Blake exhaled, and stood upright, "Let's go eat."She laughed as he held her hand and walked them to the dining."wow!" he exclaimed, her eyes scanning the dishes on the table, it was filled with all kind of delicacy."this is… just wow… are we celebrating something?""Is it too much?" he looked at the table."No, not at all, it's perfect. Thank you. But…when did you get off work to prepare all these?""Um…I skipped work today,""Aw, you didn't ha
Her lips fell open, "You already have a ring?"He smiled and pinched her chin, "Just tell me whenever you're ready and we're getting married the next day."Her cheeks turned a shade of red and she swallowed the food in her mouth. He was serious.Evie was about to say something she heard her phone ringing from the room, so she went to answer the call. When she returned, Blake asked who it was,"it was my dad, he is wedding in a few days, he wants me to be present." She had no expression on her face when she said it, so Blake wondered if she was angry,"are you going?"Evie chuckled and took her position on his thigh, "of course. I told you I'm no longer annoyed about it. Let's go together.""Okay."After dinner, they washed the dishes together, before Blake went in to shower and she lay on the bed. When he stepped out, the bathroom lights were turned off, his brows creased as he searched for the switch and turned it back on and
