Cynthia Romani

Chapter 43

The way Aleksandr is looking at me is making it difficult to breathe. He makes me so nervous and giddy at the same time. He's smiling so big I never wish for his smile to disappear.

"You're the most gorgeous girl ever darling. No one compares." He spins me around making my dress swirl. I can't help but smile, I'm wearing a maroon dress and my hair is styled in low bun.

"You look handsome." He blushes and I kiss him, he leads me to his car and buckled me up like always and then takes hold of my hand. When we arrive to prom we instantly go to find a table, Dimitri shows up and sits down with us, he looks so miserable.

Aleksandr is playing with my bracelets and I realize he painted his nails red to match my dress. I smile so hard and when his eyes meet mine they soften dramatically. "What's got you smiling so big?"

"You painted your nails." He looks down at his hands and smiles, "I have to match with my girl at all times." Am I even breathing?

"You're so annoying" He Laughs and kisses my temple. "Photo booth?" I nod and we walk towards the Photo Booth. Once we get out we see Delilah and Nikolai arrived and are talking with Dimitri. "You're actually so photogenic it's crazy." I smile as I look at the photos.

We spent some time at the table talking and watching everyone dance, when a song plays Aleksandr asks me to dance. It's a slow dance, and I can't help but smile when we start swaying.

He's quietly singing the lyrics to the song and smiles when he spins me, I'm so in love with him it's physically painful. Aleksandr saved me and I'm forever thankful for him. I can't wait for our future.

I'm utterly and deeply in love with Aleksandr Ivanov. I'm in love with his smile, the way he looks at me, in love with his protective demeanor. I love everything that makes Aleksandr him.

"Did I mention how much I love dancing with you?" He says and I lean my head on his shoulder. "I think I know why" he chuckles and I love the sound of it.

He stares at me and then kisses me softly. "Let's ditch this and go to your favorite place." "The beach?" He nods and I take his hand and lead us to the exit.

I gasp when he suddenly picks me up as we walk to his car. I turn on the radio and I look out the window as he drives us to the beach. I don't think anybody knows how much I love the beach, but he does.

We pull up the beach and I wait for Aleksandr to open my door. He bends down and grabs my leg, and gently takes off my heels. He massages my ankles and then looks up at me. Fuck the sight of him on his knees infront of me does things to me.

"I'll carry you to the sand darling." He picks me up as if I weight nothing I won't complain though. I love when he's touching me. Physical touch is Aleksandrs love language.

He gently puts me down and I run towards the waves, I let my feet's get wet and shudder at how cold the water is. I see a flash go off and I turn around to see Aleksandr smiling at his phone.

"You took a picture of me?" He shrugs his shoulders. "So what if I did?" I shake my head and walk towards him. "Take another one." I kiss his cheek and the flash goes off.

My beautiful boy. "You're so gorgeous Cynthia." He looks at me and I see his pupils are dilated. "Oh you are so obsessed with me." He picks me up and walks  to where he set up a blanket. "Madly obsessed. Have you seen yourself darling?" I tuck my face into his neck.

I feel him lowering down to the ground but not once did he plan on letting me go. "Did you know when I first saw you in class, you had red highlights in your hair, and you were humming the tune of my favorite song as you were doing your assignment. I tried getting your attention ever since." Aleksandr twirls a strand of my hair.

. "And then you tapped me on my shoulder and said how cool I looked and asked for a pencil as if you weren't holding one in your hand." He rolls his eyes and I smile.

"Yea sophomore year was good." I think how my younger me was so happy that year, little did I know. "Babe. What if I come back different and you don't love me anymore?" He shocks me with what he just said. I don't think I will ever stop loving Aleksandr. He's literally my angel.

"Then I'll love the new side of you, I'll be with you always." He sighs and squeezes me closer. I get up and he looks up at me. "Want to be my professional photographer?" He has a small grin and nods.

"Yes darling, fucking beautiful." Aleksandr is in an uncomfortable position trying to get the best angle for me, good I trained him well.

We're looking at the pictures he took and I kiss the fuck out of him. It's his reward for being my amazing photographer. "Darling I know you love the beach so much, but I'm freezing. And I don't want you getting sick." So thoughtful of him.

"Fine let's go." He carries me back to his car and gently puts me down. He buckled my seatbelt and then gives me a quick kiss. When he's on his side he interlaces our hands and kisses my knuckles.

We drive back to my house Aleksandr carrying me on one arm while holding the pizza box on his other hand. My strong man, he refused to put me down claiming my heels looked painful and I shouldn't suffer.

I push the door bell and then look into the camera and make a silly face. Dad opens the door with a smile, "I figured you'd ditch early." I shrugged my shoulders and smiled at him. "You know me so well." He hums and closes the door and heads to his office.

Me and Aleksandr spent the rest of  our prom night on my bedroom floor eating pizza and and watching rom coms.

"You looked stunning Cynthia. My beautiful girl." I squeal as he lifts me up onto his lap. He holds my gaze as his fingers trace my collar bone.

"Alek." He hums as he squeezes my thighs. Fuck me. He looks at me again and I smile at him and kiss the fuck out of my man. I thread my fingers in his hair and lightly nip his jaw.

"Cynthia your dad is home." I continue to kiss his neck while slowly grinding my hips. "I'll be quiet, promise."

"Oh fuck." He groans and I smile as he takes control. Prom night was so much fun.
