"I love you, Hope," he said, I was shocked by what he just confuse. To think I came here to tell him he I feel about him and he beat me to it. This was what I wanted, for him to love me back or at least of feelings for me and he did. And that made my heart sore. He loved me back and I was so I love with him, then why couldn't I tell him. I suddenly lost the ability to speak.
"I understand if you don't feel....." I didn't let him finish, as I put my lips on his. He was shocked at first but soon started to kiss me back. The kiss was slow at first, we were quenching this undying thirst for each other like it was our last kiss. His hand made a small circle on my inner thigh, sending me on a high. I wanted to kiss him upon hours without end but the lack of air in my lungs was getting to me. I pulled away, his forehead on mine as we breathe heavily.
"I love you too," I said and he kissed me again.
"I'll never get enough of you," he said to me, a simile played on his beautiful lips.
"Well, I don't want you to," I said playfully.
"Let's start over," he said straightening himself, he stretches out his hand towards me. "Hi, I'm Alexander Knight"
"Nice to meet you Alex, my name's Hope Cullen "
"Alex, a nickname already, you do work fast" his comment caused me to giggle.
He kissed me again, this kiss made butterflies erupt in my stomach and my toes curl.
"I work fast, says the guy who kisses the girl on the first meet. We haven't even had our first day " I teased
"Would it make it better if I said it feels like I've known you my whole life " he smirked
"Maybe not..." and he cut me off by kissing me again. I tilt my head and deepened the kiss, damn I never get enough of him.
****
It's been two months since that moment and I still blush when I think about it. Alex has carried me on countless dates, giving me gifts, cooking for me and so on. He's so loving I can't get enough, I'm addicted. Working with him has been fun, he would sneak into my office to tease me or make out with. One night at his house our make-out session was getting too heated and I stopped him. I told him about my belief of sex after marriage, he was surprised at first that I was still a virgin but still respected my decision and for that, I love him even more.
I was currently at the office on-site, working on the precession I had to present tomorrow at the meeting. I was disturbed from my work by a knock on the door, I said come in but didn't look up. I had to get this work done before I left the office.
"You shouldn't work too hard love," a voice said to me from behind, I instantly knew who it was, Alex. He dipped down and kissed me
"I know, it's just that we have a meeting tomorrow," I said when he pulled away
"So you don't have any time for your boyfriend that you loveeeee" he pouted playfully
"And who says I love you," I said and glared at him
He placed his hand over his heart and foreigned hurt
"I couldn't believe I trust and loved you so blindly "
"Okay enough of that, why are you here?" I asked
"Can't I visit my wonderful girlfriend " he said and I gigied
"Alexxxx" I winner
"Alright, I want to take you out," he said
"Right now," I asked
"Yes right now, it's five o'clock " 5:00, I didn't know the time flew so fast. I shut down my laptop and got ready to leave.
Once we were out of the office Alex kissed me again causing me to giggle again.
"Where are we going, " I asked clearly excited.
"Oh, you'll see," he said smirking, I hate this guy sometimes
****
After we got into his car, he put a blindfold over my eyes. I frowned, why would he do that. After driving for twenty minutes the car stopped and Alex allows me to take off my blindfold. We arrived at the park that we went on our first date but that wasn't the best part. No, a spot was decorated with lights, rose petals were scattered on the ground and a table was in the center.
"Oh Alex"
"Do you like it?" he asked
"Of course I love it, it's beautiful " I tip-toe and pecked him on the lips. He leads me to the table and took off the covering the was over the food. It's was steak and mashed potatoes.
"I cooked," he said I was so surprised, I thought he only could cook soup. I tasted the food and moan.
"You shouldn't do that," Alex said looking at me with dark, hooded eyes.
"Yeah, I should " I whispered
"How's the food," he said changing the subject
"I love it" and from there on everything went smooth, I didn't know Alex had it on him. This was so romantic if I must say. We danced and laughed the night away. We were drinking champagne when Alex said he would be right back. I sat there for about ten minutes when I heard a guitar playing. I turned around and saw Alex walking up to me playing the tune of prefect by Ed Sheeran. He didn't sing but he played, I must say that Alexander can't sing to save his life.
When he hit the last notes, my heart swore. Then he did the unexpected, he got on one knee before me.
"Hope, I know that we met on very bad terms. We were going to marry each other when we knew we weren't in love with each other. This marriage was forced but trust me when I say it was the best thing that has ever happened to me. You are the best thing that ever walked into my life, you thought me to trust again, to love again. Hope in these past months, you have become the center of my universe and I want it to be that way for now and forever. So if say, I Alexander Richard Knight would love if you Hope Samantha Cullen become my Mrs. Knight. Hope, will you marry me "
"Yes, yes, yes," I said and lept into his arms and kissed him
"I love you," I said
"I love you too soon to be Mrs. Knight," he said and replace my old engagement ring with a new one.
