Chapter 14

We just finished taking a shower together, which was an innocent one by the way, and we are getting ready for the day ahead. The weather was nice and sunny which is a beautiful indication that spring had sprung. I wear my off-shoulder mustard maxi dress that is floor length and couple it with a pair of brown strappy sandals. I comb my hair back and tie it into a high bun and complete the look with a pair of gold studded earrings. As I've mentioned before, I'm not much of a make-up girl therefore gloss on my lips with no mascara or foundation is my definition of perfection. I spray my Versace Dylan Blue perfume to complete the look; Oh, I forgot to mention how obsessed I am with scents. Siya comes back to the bedroom after disappearing to God knows where just as I am packing my purse. He comes into the bedroom and stands by the door frame gawking at me. He is wearing beige chinos with a white Lacoste golf t-shift and a pair of white All-Star sneakers. For a moment I had forgotten just how well he can clean up but as he stands by the door, I can't resist but shamelessly drool over him. He walks closer to me without removing his eyes off me. He is walking as if he is taking calculated steps, like how prey scouts its prey before it attacks. He comes to a halt just in front of me, with my body brushing lightly against his. He is standing way too close for my liking and my body is already reacting to his proximity. My nipples are already erect as the reminder of what had occurred earlier on comes to mind. I slowly raise my head to look at him since he is taller than me and the fact that he is towering over me doesn't allow me to make direct eye contact with him without having to bend my neck backwards. "Hi" I say in a low, almost audible voice. "Hi baby" he responds in a gruff sexy voice, "You look astounding my love" he continues to say. I blush profusely at his compliment and lower my head placing it on his chest to hide the state of my face. I feel his chest rise and sink as he chuckles, and I slightly hit his arm to stop him from laughing at me. He wraps his hands around my waist and pulls me closer to him.

We stand like that for a minute, with me enjoying the sound of his heartbeat against my ear and I guess with him enjoying me being in his arms. A minute later he breaks the silence between us "We must get going now. I promised you a day out and I intend on delivering on my promise" he says as he released me from his embrace. I nod in discontent as I was enjoying the position we were in although I knew he was right, plus I was the one who suggested this activity as an option to him in the first place. I step away from him and collect my purse from the top of the bed while he collects his phone, wallet, car, and house keys on top of the bedside table next to his side of the bed. He stretches his hand out for me to take and I gladly reach out to him. We walk out of the house, with him locking behind us and head towards the car. He opens the door for me like he's always done since we've met and closes it behind me after I have settled in. He jogs to his side and after settling in, he brings the engine to life, and we drive out of the yard. The route we take to the restaurant is beautiful and scenic, filled with sand dunes and trees. From the distance we catch a glimpse of the ocean as well. We arrive at the restaurant, but parking seems to be a challenge and we end up parking outside of the restaurant facilities. We get out of the car and head towards the restaurant hand in hand. When we arrive, we are directed to the side of the restaurant premises, which is the restaurant as the premises also have a shop adjacent to it. The waiter comes to assist us. I order the crumbed nacho chicken burger with orange juice while Siya orders the gammon steak stack with coke, yeah, this man and coke. We sit in silence for a bit while admiring the view. The restaurant is placed in a wonderful location, so tranquil and soothing. Siya extends his hand to reach out for mine and softly holds it while staring at me

"What's on your mind themba lam?" (My hope)

"Nothing. I'm just admiring the beauty of this location."

"It is beautiful indeed, but not as beautiful as you" he says, raising my hand to his face before brushing his lips gently against my knuckles.

"Thank you, baby. Thank you for bringing me here" I respond as I smile at him indulgently.
