I think something is wrong with my heart.
I walked out of the penthouse first and he followed me. My face was still red, so I pretended to be busy checking my cell phone. I could feel his heated gaze on me. Thank God my face was hiding behind the curtains of my hair. The elevator door dinged, and I was again the first one to walk inside. It took us only a few minutes to reach the front of the building. A silk-red Maserati was parked in front of the exit. It shined under the sun, making my eyes shine too. It was like love at first sight for me. I was busy looking at it when Erick stood beside me.
"You were looking at me like that for a few minutes," he whispered in my ear. My heart thumped loudly when he said that. He was indirectly telling me I was giving him a loving gaze of love at first sight. I cleared my throat and looked away. My face was now matching the car's colour.
"Stop imagining nonexistent things," I said firmly, even though rabbits were doing somersaults in my stomach.
"Where is the car?" I asked, trying to change the topic. He nuzzled his face in my neck when I said that.
"Your car is standing in front of you, Doll," he whispered before pressing a kiss on my neck. My brows furrowed, but they touched my hairline when he clicked the key, and the red Maserati opened.
"Let's go," he said while taking my hand and walking to the car. He opened the door for me and made me sit inside before he took his seat behind the wheels. I was too stunned to say anything. The interiors of the car are even more breathtaking. He started the car, and my whole body jolted up hearing the engine. A smile formed on my lips. I just love it. The main mall where I could get everything was a little far away. It took us a good forty-five minutes to get there. I enjoyed every bit of the ride. As soon as we were in the mall, we shopped first for all the things Sabina had mentioned in her list. It was our priority. I want to get all the things for my little sister. Erick also bought a few things for her, which he found cute. She is our spoiled child. I bought a bag for Lilly. I didn't want to buy anything for Dad, but he just recovered. Who doesn't like gifts? I decided to buy a few shirts and a tie for him. Erick didn't let me pay, which annoyed me so much. He would put his car in before I could. It seemed like he practised it all night.
"Why are you not buying anything for you?" Erick asked when we walked out of the shop. It made me turn my head and look at him. He was holding all the bags for me. I wanted to carry a few of them, but he didn't let me.
"I don't want anything," I shrugged and once again turned around to walk when he suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled me into a nearby shop. He bought the dress for me even when I said not to. That shameless man even bought lingerie for me. All those skimpy ones left very little for the imagination. I just don't know how he knows my size so perfectly. My face was red all the time. Not only me, but even those salesgirls were blushing looking at his choice.
"What are you doing, Erick?" I huffed with a red face. He was looking at a black, racy baby doll number. It hides nothing. Women should go naked to bed instead of wearing this.
"I'm shopping for my wife," he said with his eyes fixed on the dress. He was eyeing it as if he were eyeing a diamond.
"Please pack this too," he said to the blushing salesgirl. She nodded her head and took.
"No, don't" Before I could say it, the girl walked away with hurried steps. Erick chuckled, looking at me. I bit on my lower lip in distress.
"I'm not wearing that," I said in a firm tone with a determined look in my eyes. Erick's blue eyes glinted in amusement when I said that.
"Too early to say that became I know you will," he said with a cunning smirk on his lips and then winked at me. Saying that he walked away to pay for the things he bought for me.
"I will never," I breathe out under my breath before stomping towards the billing counter in annoyance.
"I'm hungry," I said with that mad look still on my face. He once again chuckled, looking at my face.
"Then let's eat something, my angry bird," he said and then kissed my cheeks. I don't know why, but my anger started to melt. His small peck on my cheeks was enough to melt my anger. I just can't believe it. I'm telling you something is serious with my heart. Why has it been melting like butter? It has been acting weird from the day we signed our names on the marriage certificate. I just don't know, but it's annoying me even more. He took me to a nice restaurant, and then we had our late lunch. After lunch, we did a little more shopping. He was the one who was not satisfied after buying half of the mall for me. When we returned, I was so exhausted. I was not hungry, so I decided to sleep directly. The next day, we went to roam around the city. I wanted to explore a little. We were now in front of the Eiffel Tower. Erick was holding me to his chest as if I would get lost in the crowd. I was busy looking at its beauty when a man approached me.
"Can you please take our picture?" a man asked me politely, and I nodded my head with a smile. He and his wife stood together. I took their picture, and they liked it.
"I will take yours," he said, and I was about to refuse him.
"Sure," Erick said even before I could. The man nodded his head. He stood so close to me. I smiled at the camera when suddenly he held my chin and turned my face. His lips landed on mine. My eyes widened, and he smiled big, and then I heard the click of the camera.
Our first picture together in front of the Eiffel Tower.

Romance"Get out," I said in a firm voice, but it shook a bit at the end. The muscles in his jaw tensed when I said that. Instead of getting out, he closed the door and started taking calculative predatory steps toward me. His eyes moved all over my length...
