His Sweet Touch

chapter 27

Adrian's pov
The moment I got his message I went outside and there he was, standing outside his car with a suit on (looking handsome as always) and flowers in his hands.

"Good evening Kitten"
At this point I'm not even surprised that he would do something like this but I was still really amazed by all of it.

"Good evening Val, what are you doing?"

"I'm taking you home" he gave me kiss on my cheek and handed me the flowers that were in his hand while he opened the door for me.

The car ride to his house was alright, we talked about the last three days and what we were doing the whole time while listening to some music. It wasn't as awkward as I expected it to be, it was actually really nice.

We arrived at his house and went to the kitchen.

"Is there something you want to eat?"

"Sure"

He put some stuff on the table and got everything ready before he started, this would be the first time that I would see him cook.
He rolled up his sleeve revealing his strong arms and cut everything so precisely and neat, it was like watching a real chef.

"What are you looking at?"

"You.....oh I didn't mean it like that it's just that you look really good doing all these things in the kitchen and you're also so good with a knife, I just thought that you could even be a chef if you wanted to"

"Then I'll be your personal chef, does that sound good?"

"That sounds perfect"

From the moment Val and I started talking we tried to avoid one particular topic but we couldn't just push it aside like it was nothing we still had to talk about it so all of this could come to an end.

The food was almost done and it just had to cook for a while before it was done. Val sat on the chair opposite from mine and drank the wine he poured for us not too long ago.

"You know we can't avoid talking about it anymore right Val" I said while I took one big sip of the wine infront of me.

Val nodded, hinting that he knew and that he would listen carefully to what I was about to say.

"First of all, I'm not mad and I also know that what happend wasn't really your fault but you did lie to me and I don't like being lied to and being kept in the dark, it's frustrating so no more lies and no more keeping secrets ok"

Val stood up and sat in the chair next to me, he placed a little box on the table and held my hand, the little box on the table was red with silver lines on top of it. He opened the box and inside there was a ring. I looked at him with wide eyes while the wildest ideas popped into my head.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to propose to you like this kitten" I let out a sigh of relieve and looked at Val who now had the ring in his hand. It's not that I didn't want it to be that it's just too early.

"This ring in my hand is going to be my promise to you. And I promise to always love you, be there for you, care for you and never lie to you. I have experienced three days without you and in those three days I learned that you are the reason I can keep going, like I am now, seeing you smile and happy brings joy and peace into my life more than you could ever imagine so I'll do anything I can to keep seeing that smile and to keep that pure soul of yours shining like it always has been, so the only thing I ask of you is to keep being yourself while you stay by my side"

I was touched by every word that came out of his mouth, he gave me something even more than butterflies it was a feeling one can't describe. He put the ring on my finger and took his out of his pocket and also wore it on his finger.

"This ring is my promise to you and I will make sure that you never have to take it off and dispose of it, I love you Adrian and that is something that will never change"

The rings were just beautiful I couldn't keep my eyes off of them.

"Thank you"

Val and I pretty much enjoyed the rest of our day, we ate the delicious food that Val made, played some cards, watched tv and went to bed. It was a really nice, relaxing night and it couldn't have gone any better.

~The next morning~

Valentine's pov
I woke up to the best feeling there could ever be in this world. Adrian was lying next to me with his leg and arm over me, somehow he ended up holding me instead of me holding him.

I wanted to stay like that until he woke up but I had a lot of work piled up and it would be better for me to start before heading to work. I got out of bed and went into my study to read through some papers.

Right now I am on a call with Sebastian and even though it was way before work hours he still had the information I needed to finish my work, he really is a reliable guy and does his work well.

"Send me an email of the information I requested before I go to work"

I was so immersed in my work that I didn't even see Adrian until he made a little sound. He gave me a ' I'm sorry' look and I told him to come to my side. When he stood infront of me I patted on my lap for him to sit but he refused, I then grabbed his hands and pulled him onto my lap.

"Yes, I know, we'll handle the rest at work"
(Ends call)

"Goodmorning kitten" I said and placed a kiss on his forehead.

"Morning, did I disturb you? I just heard noises coming from this room and since I didn't see you I thought that you were in here"

"It's alright. Why are you up so early, we still have a couple of hours before we have to go to work"

"I just woke up a little early. Is this your study? I haven't seen this room before it's really nice"

"Tha-..."

"Ring....ring.....ring" I was interrupted by the phone that was ringing on the table multiple times. Adrian looked at the number and his face immediately fell. Why did it have to be now?
