Chapter34: Three months to us.

"Where are we going, Nathan?" Alaya asked.

"It's a Michelin star restaurant." Nathan replied.

Alaya looked at him with a frown.

"But isn't that too expensive?" Alaya said.

"It's okay. I have alot of money." Nathan replied.

"But I don't like the food there." She whispered to herself.

"Can we go to a food street instead?" She asked with her eyes sparkling, making him melt.

"But your reservation will be wasted.....it's okay, we'll go there next time." Alaya said with a determined voice.

"No...tell me the location." Nathan replied.

"It's okay. We'll go there next time." Alaya said with a soft smile.

"No. Just tell me the location. I want to try something new as well." He replied.

"Really?" She said in a excited tone. He chuckled and nodded.

He knew she'd be really happy if he does what she's thinking about. He wants to do everything with her, everything she once did alone, together with her so that everyone knows she's now his and not alone anymore.

"It's in the back of our office building." She said. He bobbed his head and took a smooth U-turn.

"You know it's so beautiful. I went there last time with Sophie and it was so shiny. There were golden lights everywhere..." She continued to tell him every little detail about the foodstreet from the decorations to the vendors to the foodz everything.

"And I spent like 100 euros there." She said and giggled.

Nathan looked at her with a soft gaze. He couldn't help but admire her. She made his life vibrant and lit up his whole world.

Alaya's words tumbled out in a breathless rush, her excitement palpable as she talked about the food street. "And then Sophie and I tried the spicy noodles, and oh my gosh, they were so good! I'm definitely getting them again this time... and maybe some dumplings too... or maybe some skewers... "

Nathan listened, his expression calm and serene, but inside, he was a whirlwind of emotions. He felt his heart swell with affection for this vibrant, energetic woman beside him. Her enthusiasm was infectious, and he found himself smiling, caught up in her joy.

As she gestured with her hands, her eyes sparkling with excitement, Nathan's gaze was drawn to her face. He felt a pang of tenderness, a desire to reach out and touch her, to connect with her on a deeper level.

Alaya continued to chatter, oblivious to the turmoil inside him. Nathan's calm exterior hid a maelstrom of emotions, but his eyes betrayed him, shining with a warmth and intensity that he couldn't conceal.

Nathan found himself getting lost in the sound of her voice. He wasn't really paying attention to what she was saying, but he loved the way her words flowed effortlessly, like a gentle stream. He felt his eyes grow heavy, his gaze drawn to her lips as they moved.
