You're Mine, Forever

You're Mine, Forever ~ Chapter 39

After that invigorating bath, I slowly tapped my body dry with a towel. I took his bathrobe and donned it, loving the smell of him, soothing my senses as I breathe in. Hugging myself, I got out, hoping to see him standing there in the middle of bedroom, waiting for me in unguarded anticipation.

But to my dismay, he was nowhere in sight. With my hair still dripping wet, I went out in search of him.

As I slowly walked down the spiral staircase, my heart was thudding loudly, so naturally it does that. Because tonight was the night.

I was going to confess what I was hiding inside my heart.

There was no holding me back.

I would take my chance of forever with him.

However, he wasn't in the living room, nor was he in his study where he usually stayed. My barefoot felt the tiled floor's coolness. I hugged myself tighter as I opened the glass door, thinking he might be outside.

The night air met me by surprised that I gasped in response.

He was there, standing infront of the swimming pool. Still wearing the same clothes he wore at mom's. His tall sillhoute could be clearly seen. The pale moonlight cast a shadow unto him. He was talking to someone from his mobile phone. I frowned slightly for his right hand was holding a picture frame. My eyes widened in recognition for it was a picture of dad and I. I got it from my old room in our family home as a simple remembrance before.

I brought it with me as to make me feel more warm and at home in his house.

I was about to go near him when I heard what he said to the person on the phone.

"Next month", he said in a hissing voice, he sounded almost angry. "No, no, that's taking too long for you to be done with it."

Paused.

"No, I didn't tell her yet."

Paused.

"Yes, Carol had the plane tickets."

Long paused.

Then he said with too much conviction, "I'll see you there."

He turned off his phone without saying goodbye and I heard him cursed an expletive, then he turned around.

He was surprise to see me.

"How long have you been standing there?", he asked carefully.

"Not long. Who was that on the phone with you?"

"Ah...", he hesitated then put his phone inside the back of his pants pocket. "Greg. I asked him to do some paperworks for me", then he smiled.

He walked towards me and kissed my temple.

"You're going to catch a cold wearing just that. Hmm... You had your bath. You always smells great", he grabbed my butt, kneading them and started kissing my nape.

"Where are you going?", I asked, I didn't want his touch to stop me from inquiring.

He groaned. Still kissing me, ignoring my question.

I pushed him away and stared at him blandly, showing him my defiance.

He sighed and run his left hand thru his blonde hair.

"I'm going on a business trip."

"A business trip? Where to?"

"France, I'm flying there next week."

"And you didn't tell me?!"

"I'm telling you now."

I scowled, crossed my arms against my chest, showing him I was upset and angry.
