Elle's secret boyfriend .

new york

The vast city extended below us. The flight landed. We got down, I walked next to Mike and the anxious look on Mike's face proved he is too not alien to the fear. I stood there shivering head to foot.In spite of being tensed himself Mike squeezed my hand in reassurance, this tiny gesture of his flooded my heart with relief.

A man in his mid twenties stood there with placard stating "Mrs Rosewood ".I clinged on to Mike as my legs were trembling. He gasped..."you are alright ?"
"Yeah,maybe jet lag. "I replied.
The large city extended above us. We boarded on a large car.
I nearly choked when I found the accommodation provided for us. They were exquisite rooms but just two rooms. A room for me and Mike and another one for Mrs Rosewood. However we pleaded they didn't relent and were not ready to switch people. So we retired to the rooms, I was so tired that I might even throw up in the lobby.
Mrs Rosewood gave me an apologetic grin and a stern command to Mike " behave".
Mike's lips twisted into a naughty grin.

The room was so grand that I have never set my eyes on any room more spacious and furnished. Mike jumped on to the bed. I didn't know what to do. I rested on the couch...
"Are you scared of me"Mike asked.
"no"I shrieked.
He let out an exasperated sigh..
And separated the bed. It was two beds joined together.
"But it really looked like one. "I replied.
He smiled, "trust me Elle. "
I was dumbstruck. Mike, am I falling for you.... I thought

I was fast asleep, when someone was shaking me. I slowly drag my eyes open to find myself witnessing Mike.
He looked shot dead hot. With his dark blue t-shirt sticking to his muscles on the torso. Tiny drops of water dripping from his hair.

"Not ,getting ready for dinner" he enquired.
"no"i replied... But my stomach grumbled in response.
"so I take the second response" he said.
Pulling my sheets off he dragged me close. He smelled of aftershave. Pushed me inside the bathroom.
"should I even help you bath, I don't mind actually"he shrugged.
"what? "I cried regaining my senses.
"just kidding "he replied.
"get ready fast"he said....

In the dinner, Rosewood gave us both a stern look. Mike sported his all time innocent look. I strived hard to stifle my laughter.
The dinner was brilliant,Mike and I got acquainted so well the whole dinner we were trying out dishes and laughing with all our mirth.

Mom called me, she was happy but the call made me realise the reason why I am here.

The night remained memorable, clicking pictures, smiling like crazy. My senses nearly go astray when I am at his side.

He spoke about his life, his family..... Then he asked me about me.

I said about mommy, daddy ,ruben Edward john and shany. How Edward and John would quarrel,
How silent and loving Ruben is.

The night was the best in my life.I lay awake on my bed staring at the ceiling.
Suddenly Mike asked
"Elle shall I ask you something? "
"yes,shoot it out"I replied.
"Did you like the dessert? I think it is giving me a stomach ache"he said.
I broke into a laughter.
Tomorrow is the party.
