A Love Like The Stars In The Sky

Chapter 20

Ziva Asinobi's POV

If you had told me 3 months ago that I would be walking hand in hand with a 6 foot something, brick house of a man, who is not only stunningly beautiful, but a former client of mine, I would have laughed right in your face.

But here I am, in a high end department store with only lipgloss, a hair brush and my phone in my bag.

Tobias is buying me a couple of outfits, including a dress he says I 'have to have' for our big date tonight.

The whole day is a date.

But apparently tonight is super important for us.

I wonder what he has planned?

I try on the third or fourth dress since I got here.

Tobias booked us a fitting with a really popular seamstress and we're in the back of her store in a private dressing room.

Tobias, who is sat on a plush couch, looks up from his little black notebook, his glasses sitting perfectly on the bridge of his nose and he looks at me analytically at first.

But then his gaze deepens and I know that this dress is his favourite.

The dress is tight and gold, the fabric gleaming with every step I take.

Tobias' eyes meet mine as the shop attendant looking at us chatters away about the designer and the cut and everything good about the dress to us.

My conversation with Tobias is silent, but I know exactly what's on his mind.

I snap out of it first, forcing him to focus on the store clerk, making me blush.

"We'll take it. Please box it up for us" Tobias requests smoothly.

The store clerk smiles politely and walks away to give me to time to change out of the dress.

Our gazes meet again.

He motions for me to do a small spin.

"This is perfect" he says.

"I agree" I tell him.

He stands up and approaches me, circling me.

"Do you have any special requests for your hair?" He asks.

He stands in front of me, making me have to look up at him.

"No" I shake my head.

"Alright. Ximena has a stylist that owes her a favour. Shall we head out and go say hello?" He asks.

I remember Ximena.

She was with Tobias when I first met him at Idris' event.

They seem close.

"Yeah I'd love to. Thank you Tobias" I say softly.

He smiles warmly.

"I'm just happy to make you happy" he responds.

I turn around.

"Unzip me?" I ask.

So he does.

I'm about to step away so I can slip out of the dress and get changed, when Tobias grips my neck, pulling me back into him.

I immediately hold the dress up to my body, making sure I don't drop it.

"Tobias!" I gasp, when he kisses my neck, sucking gently.

"You just look so good. I couldn't help it" he groans into my ear, making my body temperature spike.

Does he want me or not?!
