Reveal Yourself To Me

Chapter 30♡

Nora's Pov

The word "nervous" is an understatement compared to the feeling that I'm experiencing right now. I am terrified yet so enthusiastic about tonight.

I had everything plotted out, down to the boat and for the set up after dinner. He has no idea what I have in store for him. Tonight, is his night and I will hopefully have it no other way. I showered quickly and called Liam's name telling him it was his turn to use the bathroom.

I beamed like a madwoman while speed-walking to the closet where I stored my gown. It was love at first sight, from the time I saw it, I knew I had to wear it tonight. I am a sucker for plain dresses so I bought a plain thigh-slit black gown with a pair of black sparkly high heels.

His heart rate better rise or I will raise hell upon earth. I coated my body with my favorite lotion from Bath & Body Works and spread the white cream all over my body. [see what I did there?? aha, No? okay:(...]

I wanted to get dressed before Liam so I slipped on the dress promptly but carefully and began on my hair without checking myself out. I normally do to ensure whatever clothing I'm wearing makes me look presentable but not tonight.

I will reveal myself when I'm finished with everything as a surprise to me and Liam.

I didn't inform Liam about the boat yet but I did tell him to wear the suit I packed for him. Bexon and I did a little shopping, mostly me, Bexon was the mannequin for the suits I was trying out for Liam.

He was complaining the entire time but felt highly good when he tried on the suits, I handed to him at all the stores we visited. Ugh, I miss that idiot so much, it's nauseating. Shaking my head to not get sad, I decided to flat iron my hair so I plugged it in and got started right away.

It's been years since I last added heat to my curls so I am not going to lie when I say I'm a little uneasy.

I made sure to spread the heat protector on my hair to avoid breakage and fried hair. It didn't take me very long to complete my entire head and I had done everything in time for Liam to leave the bathroom.

That man takes such a long while to shower, what's the reason for that? Only Liam Asher knows.

Dios Mio...

My jaw dropped to the floor as I gawked at the sexiest man alive, standing right before me with a similar expression.

He gaped at me up and down, lingering on my exposed thigh and neck where faint purple marks were planted. I did the same and inspected how effortlessly perfectly the suit fitted him.

The black blazer defined his muscular arms deliciously, resulting in my brain running a memory of me kissing his arms and clasping them firmly, God, give me new knees because this shit I got here is about to give out the more I stare at him.

"You look beautiful Nora, so beautiful," Liam broke the trance I was in, setting a rosy blush on my cheeks. I love it when he calls me beautiful, it's such an honest word but used in a lot of lies, even so, I believe when Liam says that. It's like I have no choice but to accept it.

"You look gorgeous as usual" I walked up to him with a click-clack sound of my heels against the wooden floor. Liam watched my every step cautiously, breathing heavily.

His chest rose, tightening the white shirt underneath his blazer. As I got closer, I glanced at the lustful look in his eyes, staring right back at mine.

I forgot how much I love his eyes. Big brown irises glowing dazzlingly at mine. I smiled and held the side of his face, he instantly relaxed into my palm and shut his pretty eyes, sighing. I kissed his nose lightly and he reddened, opening his eyes and caressing my hand that was placed on his warm cheek.
