Just A Step Away

Chapter 19

Katherine's POV:

I woke up in someone's arm. I peeked through my sleepy eyes and saw Darwin sleeping peacefully, encircling his arms around me. Previous night was the most beautiful night of all. No, we didn't do that. We, specifically I poured my heart in front of him last night. We said everything but he didn't say he loves me and nor did I even though we both knew the truth.

I smiled and sat up to stretch my muscles.

'Oh shit! I have to go with Adam to final the venue today and Adam texted me lately that we are going to meet the band members too.'

I quickly stood up and rushed towards bathroom.

After taking a quick shower I wore peach colored short dress with a golden belt on my waist and tied half of my hair with pin. I just put eyeliner and my lip balm.

As I was about to leave, I sensed that Darwin had awaken. I turned around with a smile on my face.

"Good Morning sleepy head and bye." I needed to hurry up or else I would be late today too.

"Where are you going?" He asked with confusion.

"I'm going with Adam to finalize the venue for the concerts and we are also going to meet maroon 5 today." I was too excited for this event. I mean isn't this amazing to get to have marks and fun altogether.

He murmured something under his breath.

"Did you say something?" I asked him.

"Yeah? Umm, no nothing." He said while rubbing his thumb on his Palm.

"Darwin what are you hiding?" I knew him really well. He used to does that when someone caught him doing something wrong.

"Nothing sunshine." He smiled confidently.

I made a 'don't mess with me' face and stared him.

"You're getting late babe." He said.

"You do know that I won't leave you without getting my answers, right?" I walked and sat on the edge of bed.

"Fine. I was thinking about how to ask you for a party." He stepped out of bed and walked towards mirror.

"Awe, really?"

'He is asking me out? How come my stars become so lucky?' I thought.

I squeaked with delight and walked towards him.

"Yes. But you my young lady have no patience." He smiled while looking at me through a mirror reflection.

"Well, you can ask me now." I giggled.

He turned around and took both of my hands in his.

"Miss Katherine Anna white, will you allow me an honor to take you for a party with me tonight." He said while looking deeply in my eyes.

"Yes, Mr. Darwin Mitchell, I will." I smiled. All of that was nothing less than a dream. I had always seen these types of moments with Darwin in my imaginations or dreams. I was really surprise that I was living these dreams. I couldn't be happier. My patience had finally achieved his affection. And then, I was proud that I chose him to love. I love him with my heart and soul. I love him with everything. And I can do anything for his innocent smile.

"Great. I'll meet you in the parking lot on 8:00 pm. Ok?" He said while letting my hands go, leaving them cold without his touch.

"Ok. Bye." I pushed aside all of my thoughts and kissed him on his cheeks before walking out of the room to meet Adam.
