Complicated

Chapter 22: Kiss Me

Chapter 22

"Come on, miss Scarlett, it's time to get dressed." Mary said, pulling me out of my thoughts.

I nodded, standing up from the chair in front of the mirror.

I was about to pull off my bathrobe when I remembered the events of last night.

"Mary, could you do me a favor and run down to the informal sitting room to see if my pearl necklace is there?" I asked with a smile. "I think I took it off yesterday evening."

"Absolutely miss Scarlett." Mary nodded before leaving the room.

I took off my bathrobe and turned to look in the mirror.

I stood there in just my bra and underwear, my finger tracing the hickey on my chest.

A smile crossed my face as I touched the one on my stomach, remembering the feel of his lips.

"Admiring my art work?" A voice asked in the doorway.

I gasped, spinning around to look at the source of the voice.

Oliver was leaning against the closed door, his arms crossed over his chest, with a smirk on his face.

"Hey." I laughed, reaching for my pants from the back of the chair. "What are you doing here?"

"Just here to give my girl her Christmas present." Oliver casually walked towards me.

"You do know that we're going to open presents with everyone right now?" I laughed, pulling the jeans up my legs.

"You see... I got you a present for that and it's under the tree." Oliver nodded. "But you see... I figured this one was a little bit more... private." Oliver said softly, handing me the box.

"Can I put a shirt on first?" I giggled, walking over to the shirts Mary had laid out on the bed.

"If you must." Oliver teased, walking over with me.

I pulled on the pink sweater and then turned to him with a smile.

"You look so... Proper." Oliver laughed, holding out the box to me.

I took it, glancing up at him.

"Can I open it now?" I asked softly.

"Be my guest." Oliver grinned, taking a seat on the bed.

I smiled at him before tearing open the wrapping paper.

"Victoria's Secret?" I raised my eyebrows as I looked at the box.

Oliver smirked, leaning back against his hands.

"What are you playing at?" I giggled as I opened up the box.

My eyes widened at what was in it.

There was a bra and panty set, white with a black lace overlay.

"Wow." I laughed, taking out the bra. "This is gorgeous."

"For my special lady." Oliver smiled.

I set the stuff down and walked over to him with a smile.

"Thank you, Oliver James." I whispered, sitting down on his lap. I pressed my lips against his.

"Maybe I'll give you a private present later." I winked.

"Miss Scarlett, I didn't find your pearl necklace, do you know where else it could be?" Mary asked, walking back into the room.

"No, thanks anyways." I said with a smile, getting up from Oliver's lap.
