My Ex's New Girlfriend (gxg)

Part 42

The room that Katie got for us at the Ritz was stunning.

I wasn't even going to ask her how much it cost. I would honestly feel bad if I knew.

It was ultra-modern, yet had classy, elegant touches at the same time. The color scheme was white, gold, and black, and there were small touches of color from the eclectic painting on the wall, and the small, pink, bouquet of flowers on the desk.

I noticed something on the desk as well when we walked in. It looked to be a large tray with fresh fruit and French macarons.

Katie saw me looking at the tray as I put my bag down on the bed.

"I'm glad the hotel was able to provide some treats for us," she smiled, taking my hand.

We walked over to the desk and I asked her, "You asked the hotel for all of this?"

"Yes," Katie nodded, "I told them it was your birthday, and I wanted to see if they could provide anything extra. This is amazing."

I looked down at the fresh fruit, some of which was covered in chocolate, and the colorful French cookies on the tray.

Wow.

No one has ever done something like this for me before.

"I hope you like it," Katie said, "I've never tried macarons. But I've heard they're good."

I looked back up at Katie, "Are you kidding me? I love it. No one has done anything like this for me. Ever."

Katie's brow furrowed for a second and she asked me, "Really?"

I knew what she was thinking. That I was with Tristan for over a year, and he never did anything like this for me.

I nodded, "Yep. No one has."

Katie, who was still holding onto my hand, squeezed it, and said, "Well, you are more than deserving of it, my love."

"My love".

Hearing Katie call me that made me smile, and I saw her blush.

"Thank you," I said to Katie, "Truly. It means the world to me."

Katie leaned in and kissed my forehead gently. When she pulled away, she said, "Do you want any of the fruit or macarons? You can have first pick."

"No, you have first pick," I said to her, "You arranged it, plus, there's more than enough for us."

"If you insist," Katie chuckled, "I'm going to take one of these chocolate-covered strawberries."

"Good choice," I said as Katie grabbed one of the strawberries and took a bite, placing her hand under her mouth to catch any chocolate that might've flaked off the fruit.

I looked down at the tray that had strawberries, pineapple, raspberries, blackberries, and melon. I reached for a perfect-looking slice of pineapple.

I took a bite and nodded as I chewed the sweet, tropical fruit.

"Delicious," I said.

Katie looked at me, "Is pineapple your favorite fruit? Something I don't know about you."

"No, mangoes are, actually. But I do love pineapple."

"Hey, mango is my favorite as well," Katie grinned, "We've both got good taste."

"I know I've got good taste," I looked at Katie, trailing my eyes over her body to make a point.

Katie couldn't help but smile as she said back in a flirtatious tone, "Is that so?"
