"I'm dying to have my lips on yours."

"W-what? Italy? We're getting marri-... Italy?" I said baffled when he nodded, waiting for a reaction when I suddenly broke out into a large smile and squealed, jumping into Eros' arms and hugged him tightly.

He responded with an 'oof' when I attacked him as I clutched on to him with a big smile.

"I'm assuming you like the idea of going to Italy." He chuckled running his hands in my hair when I hummed, pulling away with a red face and kissed his cheek.

"I love it, I haven't been there in years." I said excited as we continued to plan with Joanna.

"And as for your dress, would you like the traditional white one or would you like it to be some other colour like ivory, cream, blush pink or perha-"

"Get her the whitest dress you can find." Eros interrupted her when she smiled looking at me.

"The whitest dress." She repeated his words with a smile.

"A good choice, signifies purity and innocence." She said as Eros watched me carefully, humming in agreement as my face heated up.

"Very well then, we'll deal with the catering and dress tomorrow. That's pretty much it for today." Joanna said and I got up with her, Eros stayed sitting.

"Thank you Joanna." I said when she shook hands with me but not Eros.

"Of course. I'll be leaving now, good bye and take care." She said and I waved at her as she left. As soon as she left, I was pulled back by my arm and fell back with a yelp right onto Eros' lap.

He tucked my hair behind my ears and looked at me with such admiration it made me blush when he chuckled at my reaction.

"So, the colour of my eyes, hmm?" He asked cockily as I smiled shyly.

"You have really pretty eyes. I love their colour." I said, my hand reaching up and tracing his features absent minded.

"And do you love me?" He asked huskily, my breath catching in my throat as I froze, trying to speak but nothing came out.

Do you love me... Wait what?!

"I'm joking darling, relax." He said chuckling when I averted my gaze from his, continuing my fingers movement on his face.

"Now, would you like to tell me why Grant found you crying in school?" He asked and I immediately tensed up.

"W-what?" I asked baffled when he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"And don't you dare lie to me darling, the consequences won't be pleasant." He warned when I gulped before speaking.

"Some girls just said some really hurtful things to me." I said when he hummed, his grip getting tighter.

"Like what?" He asked lowly.

"T-they said that I wasn't the type of girl men like you liked." I said in a small voice when he growled.

"Who the fuck said that?" He seethed and I gulped hard.

"It's okay Eros, I also said somethings to them so I guess we're even." I said and immediately his eyebrows raised in surprise.

"Oh? And what did you say to them?" He asked.

"Promise you won't be mad?" I asked in a small voice.

"I promise." He said when I bit my lip.
