The Billionaire's Irresistible Enemy

Ch. 53

Luna

I stood in front of my closet, feeling a mix of excitement and butterflies in my stomach. Tonight was the night. Can't wait for my first real romantic dinner date with Colton. We've been out together many times, but it was always platonic. This time, things were totally not the same.

I found this gorgeous, dark beige dress and thought about how Colton always said beige was his favorite color on me, which made me smile. As I put on the dress, my mind was going crazy thinking about what was coming. He insisted on keeping our destination a surprise, making the evening even more exciting.

I got all dolled up, put on some makeup, and threw on my favorite necklace. I checked myself out in the mirror and took a deep breath to calm down my racing heart. I was super excited but also super nervous. This was a fresh start for us, and I wanted everything to be flawless.

A knock on my door pulled me out of my thoughts. I heard Remedios opening the door, accompanied by Bonnie's enthusiastic barking, showing her excitement.

I grabbed my purse and quickly headed to the living room, feeling really excited.

Colton, dressed in a dark suit, looked as handsome as ever while holding a bouquet.

"Hi, Luna," he greeted, his eyes lit up as he looked at me. "You look stunning."

My face felt so hot, I knew was blushing. I took the flowers from him. "Thank you. You look amazing, too."

He kissed my cheek, like he did yesterday, when he left my office. He was being awesome, keeping his promise to take it slow.

He offered his arm, and I gladly took it, feeling so excited as we walked out together.

"So, are you going to give me any hints about where we're headed?" I looked up at him and asked.

He smiled and shook his head. "Nope. It's a secret. But trust me, you'll love it."

We walked outside into the cool evening air, and he took me to his fancy white Maserati parked at the curb. As we drove through the city, I couldn't help but be amazed. It was like a whole new world between us, like anything could happen.

When we finally got there, Colton helped me out of the car and walked me down a path with twinkling lights.

We were in this stunning garden, with a small, cozy table set up under twinkling fairy lights.

The garden looked so pretty in the moonlight, making everything look magical. The air was heavy with the scent of jasmine and the cool night breeze.

"Colton, this is so beautiful."

"Not as beautiful as you," he replied, his voice all low and husky. He came closer, his hand touching mine. His touch felt a surge of electricity and a burning desire inside me, making my body shivered all over.

We were standing so close, our faces almost touching. I could feel his hot body against mine, making my heart race.

He smiled, grabbed my hand, and took me to the table. "I wanted tonight to be special for us," he whispered.

We took a seat, and I couldn't help but grin. The setting was so wonderful, and it really meant a lot to me.

As the servers entered, they carried with them an array of delicious dishes. However, all of my attention was solely directed towards Colton, as I couldn't help but admire how truly amazing he was.

As we started eating, the conversation just flowed easily and all the earlier tension disappeared.

Halfway through our meal, Colton reached out and held my hand.
