The diamond necklace that I once found beautiful makes me physically ill just by looking at it. It is a reminder of all the bad things that have happened. A reminder of all the mistakes I have made. It is a reminder of Joseph.
I wouldn't have brought it. And if I did I would have vividly remembered packing it.
But how the hell did it get on my bed if I didn't bring it? Or maybe I did bring it, and I just forgot? My mind has been all over the place so it is possible that I could have forgotten I had it with me.
Shaking my head, I turn towards the mirror again, ignoring the faint sparkle from my bed and re-applying my lip gloss. Breathe, everything is okay. Smoothing my hands down my dress, I start to feel a little self-conscious. I think I may have overdressed, but he did say dinner.
Maybe I should change.
"You are breathtaking." Nathan's husky voice catches me by surprise. Warmth instantly rushes to my cheeks as I see him through the mirror, leaning against the wall, his eyes hungrily taking me in. How long has he been standing there?
I find myself doing the same. My eyes shamelessly move from his gorgeous face down to his body. The black fitted long sleeve that he is wearing perfectly outlines all of his muscles. And don't get me started on the silver cross chain around his neck. God.
"I take it that you like the dress?" I turn around to face him, playfully smiling at him. He nods and saunters over to me, pulling me in by my hips. All the worries that I had seconds ago seem to magically disappear in his presence.
"More than like, mia cara," he hums, his hands feeling the silk fabric of my dress. "Out of all the dresses that I have seen you wear, this might be my favorite." He moves his face into the crook of my neck, planting a sweet kiss on my skin. I am so glad I decided to pack this dress after all.
"Really?" I pull back to look at him. "But you haven't even seen my sun dresses yet." His eyes darken and he places his forehead against mine letting out a small groan.
I giggle and nudge him off me, taking one final look at myself in the mirror. "But seriously you don't think I'm overdressed?" I hesitantly ask, fixing my dress yet again.
My heart skips a beat when he wraps his arms around me from behind and kisses the side of my head. "No," he simply answers. "And even if you were, it doesn't matter," he reassures me. My smile grows wider, prompting Nathan to pull me even closer to him.
A small hum escapes from me as he places another kiss on the side of my head. All I can think about is how safe I feel in his embrace. It feels like no problem or worry can reach me when Nathan is holding me. I have been feeling this way for the past few days.
It's strange.
Strange yet...lovely.
We may be married but I barely know him. He doesn't know me. How can I be feeling this way for someone I hardly know?
