1. My Heart #romance COMPLETED

Chapter 11

Julie wore a simple floral dress and cream pumps for their day out, whilst Ricardo wore a sky blue shirt paired with cream slacks and leather shoes. With Jack as their driver and a couple of guards they left the house. Extra men had gone ahead in casual wear so as to not raise any suspicion.  They walked around admiring the different things they came across. Spotting a small antique store, Julie pulled Ricardo into it. She admired everything but fell in love with a pair of heart shaped necklaces.

"Darling look at these, aren't the lovely," she gushed.
Ricardo looked down at her, with a smile on his face, loving her excited expression. Ricardo went up to the store owner and quietly purchased the necklaces. It seemed she hadn't noticed his disappearing act as she was still holding the chains whilst admiring a book set.
"Here let me see baby," he said holding his hand out to the necklaces.
She handed the chains over and when he told her to turn around, she did as asked. A small gasp escaped her lips as the cold metal touched her bare skin.
"Hold up your hair for me baby," he whispered seductively into her ear. Once done he turned her around and stood back to admire the chain on her neck. "Beautiful," he murmured softly.
He still held his own chain in his hands. Juliet reached for it, and standing on her toes tried to place the chain around her neck. Ricardo let out a chuckle at her unsuccessful attempt. Leaning down he picked up by her waist and let her fasten his chain around his neck. Laughing out loud at her blushing form he placed a kiss on her forehead and set her down.
He loved how he towered above her, she was small but wielded so much power over him. If only he could tell her. It fascinated him how such a small person had easily saved his life.
Leaning toward her he read her chain out loud, "I love."
"You," she whispered reading his also.
Taking ahold of his hand he pulled her towards the exit.
"Wait babe, let me pay for these."
"Don't worry babe, it's already taken care of," he said waving goodbye to the store owner.
Seeing her confused expression her told her that he had already paid for the necklaces. They headed back home at around three in the afternoon. Ricardo told her to rest for a while before they left for dinner at seven. Entering their room Julie changed into one of his shirts that was too big for her. He came to check on her loving the sight of her in his shirt confirming to himself that she really could make anything look sexy. Climbing into bed, he set his alarm for five thirty, and pulled her close to him. Ever since her nightmare back at the hotel, she couldn't sleep soundly without him beside her.

-------------------------

Ricardo was already done and waiting patiently for her downstairs. Anita was fussing over her hair and makeup as Julie put on her heels.
"Everything is perfect sweety, thanks for your help," Julie said giving her friend a hug.
"Please be careful with yourself, your stitches need to properly heal," Anita shouted as Julie left the room.

As she walked down the stairs Ricardo gasped and did a double take stunned at what he saw.
"Julie, you look gorgeous."
She smiled up at him thanking him for the compliment. "So do you baby," she said running her eyes up and down over his suit clad body.
"Are checking me out Mrs Andrews?" he laughed loving that she had his name now. She was his now and hopefully forever more. He wore a back suit with a white shirt open a the collar. He had a lovely short stubble growing and she loved the feel of his beard in her hand when she caressed his cheek. She was wearing a white strapless dress that just passed her knees and hugged her in all the right places, with black heels and a black clutch. Escorting her to their car, they left, with their security detail followed them closely but making sure to not intrude them, as they remained out of view.

"Good evening, a dinner reservation under the name Andrews please," Ricardo asked the maître d' who was eyeing Juliet up and down like a tall glass of water.
"Excuse me, our table please," Ricardo said as he placed a possessive arm around Juliet, pulling her closer to him leaving no room for air between them.
"Right this way sir," he said  ashamed at being caught staring, as he led them to their table. "Enjoy your evening Mr and Mrs Andrews, your waiter will be with you shortly."

A chirpy blonde waitress came to take their orders. Juliet looked up to see the young girl gawking at her husband. They both ordered fruit drinks and were both surprised to learn that they didn't fancy the taste of alcohol. As soon as the young girl left to get their order they both burst into laughter.
"What is it with this place, do these people have a stare at the customer contested or something," Juliet laughed.
Their meal arrived and as they ate, Ricardo saw Juliet eyeing his steak, chuckling to himself he cut a piece for her.
"Here, open up," he said lifting his fork to her mouth.
She closed her

"Would you care to dance, darling?" Ricardo asked her holding out his hand.
Julie looked away shyly, and whispered that she couldn't dance.
With a mischievous glint in his eyes, Ricardo asked her, "Do you trust me baby?"
"Yes," she replied softly.
Taking her hand in his, he took her out onto the dance floor as the band began to play a slow song. He knelt before and quickly removed her shoes tucking each into his jacket pockets. He then signaled a waiter to take his jacket away. Gently placing his hands on her waist he picked her up, so she could stand on his toes, and placed his arm securely around her waist.

"Now let us dance shall we," he said softly into her ear.
Julie did not notice the envious looks she got from most of the women in the restaurant as she lay her head on his chest listening to his heart beat, and forgot about the music and focused on the rhythm of his heart. That was her music for the night as Ricardo glided with her on the dance floor. After the song finished, he carried bridal style to their table, not wanting her bare feet to touch the floor. Gently placing her in her chair, their waitress returned asking if they required anything else.
"A cup of tea would be lovely," she sighed.
"Two cups of tea please," Ricardo told the waitress and also asked for their bill.

Whilst they waited for their hot beverage, Julie excused herself, heading to the ladies. She saw the worried expression on his face and laughed assuring him she would be fine. This was a public place after all.

Julie's POV

As she was rinsing her hands, a tall blonde lady came into the ladies and locked the door behind her as she came and stood in front me.
