Chapter 21: The Next Step.

Tears slid down my face as I continued to stare in shock, my blood ran cold and my body was frozen. I didn't know what to think of this surprise. I didn't know if I should start screaming or sobbing, my body just stood there numb without any expression running through my body.

"Athena." I sucked in a breath, turning my head towards him. Xander cupped my face looking down at me with concern. "What's wrong? You don't like it?" He asked worriedly, I instantly shook my head at his question.

"No. No." I sniffed, looking back at the building in front of me. "How did you get it back?" I asked, feeling a huge lump in my throat, he smiled down at me stroking my cheek gently.

"I have my ways." He responded, cockily.

I chuckled looking back at the building. "I can't believe you did this." I sobbed out. "Thank you." I quickly wrapped my arms around him, crying into his shoulder.

He wrapped his arms back around me, placing a kiss onto the side of my head. "I'll buy the world for you." He whispered, causing me to smile while my tears slid down my face.

"I love you." He squeezed me tighter to his chest.

"I love you too." He placed another kiss onto my temple. I pulled away from him grinning up at him. "Now, I didn't know if you wanted to open up a salon or a bakery so I left it as your choice." My eyes lightened up as happiness grew inside of me. "Once you decide I'll get designers to help with the place." I bit my lip staring at my dad's old restaurant.

My smile slowly faded and I looked over at Xander. "I don't think I want to change anything about it. So I decide the bakery, I can open it with Ella." I informed him, he nodded his head approvingly. "We'll just replace a few furniture and that's it."

"I'll call some people to bring things for the bakery." I grinned up at him, squealing in happiness before pulling him into a tight hug.

He chuckled, wrapping his arms back around me. "I should've done this sooner if I would've known you would get this happy." I laughed against his chest.

I looked up from his chest grinning up at him, he grinned back showing of his perfectly pearl teeth. "I appreciate what you've done." He cupped my face, without saying anything to me her brought his lips to mine, connecting them together.

His soft plumped lips caused butterflies to my stomach, and sparks all over my body. I sucked in a breath, pulling away from him getting as much air into me as possible. "When are you going to show me that room in our house?" I questioned, he smirked down at me.

"That surprise will have to wait for another time." He stared down at my lips once again. "I love your lips." Before I could reply he smashed his lips onto mine once again causing me to chuckle against them.

I sighed, rolling on my back tiredly cupping my mouth as I yawned. I looked at the person beside me to see Xander peacefully asleep, a lazy smile played on my lips as I tiredly stared at him, my hand unconsciously went to his cheek stroking it gently. My teeth latched onto my bottom lip as a smile slowly appeared on my face.

I felt his warm hand on top of mine, looking down at the big hand on top of mine. "Good Morning." He greeted, I looked back at his face to see his eyes opened while he tiredly stared up at me.
