Mafia's bride

Chapter-51

Give me a chance to love you and I promise I will do my best to make you smile every day - Drake

Tanya(P.O.V)

Many things were going in my head . Will I be truly able to accept him ? Will the Chance thing is worth it ? What if he crosses the limit? What if misinterprets my decision as something else ? What if I am not ready ? What if this doesn't work out for either of us and I end up hurting his emotions . That man is doing a lot for me and my family . Papa is right he could have easily taken advantage of my situation that day if he only wants my body . Whenever he is near me , whenever he touches me I no longer felt unsafe , instead it's like a sweet feeling of being protected and taken care of . He is not what I use to think about him earlier he is not selfish, arrogant , rude and cold . It just like he reacts differently around different people . Everyone does that even I do it . Today is the night of final decision . I have never felt such uneasiness ever . I am sure that he will win but deep down I am worried and a bit scared about him maybe I am thinking about him way too much for the past days . It makes me feel agitated that why I feel this way when he hugs me , when he gently pecks my forehead and the way he cuddles with me at nights . Ugh, why I am  smiling thinking about it ? What is wrong with me ? I wasn't like that was I ? What have you done to me Mr Blackwell !? She thought as she looked at the clock it was going to be midnight in few hours and Drake along with his men were packing . Tanya's heart raced as she looked at him keenly from a distance he appeared calm , concentrated , deep in some thoughts if only she knew that just like her she too was thinking about her . She bites her lips anxiously as she began taking footsteps in his direction . She wanted to talk to him before leaving for the night whose decision was unsure she wanted to make him feel better she knew that despite his physically calm posture various things were going in his mind . He is doing so much for me without him I don't think I will be able to take down that guy . He deserve a chance . Drake she softly called him name and he turned around and looked at her surprisingly . Of course it wasn't that frequent that she called him by his name the last time she did she was drunk . He looked towards her amused but what him feel more surprised was the Strom of swirling emotions in her eyes as she maintained eye-contact with him . He could only think that maybe she is very angry with him cause affection was something they hadn't shared yet but that was about to change in a few matter of minutes . He smiled at her looking for any repulsive reaction but she too passed him a smile making him confused . I want to talk can you guys give us some privacy . She said not breaking the eye contact with him everyone scurried out they too were curious not their fault though . She took some steps in Drake's direction baffling him more and took a deep breath and looked at him anxiously . This is it tanvi bol de (speak up ) her inner self encouraged her and she spoke .
