When it Happened *(Completed) EDITING

CHAPTER 45

We reach his bedroom door as helps me down from my legs being wrapped around his waist, carefully. I can't believe I'm going into his bedroom. I feel strange since we've only been in my house. I don't quite feel comfortable as I thought I would have, all this time, wondering why he hadn't asked. I feel as if it's my first time with Joe. Why do I feel like this? He grabs my hand. Opens the door, and I follow in behind him. I let go of his hand in awestruck.

"Joe, seriously this is...," I pause as I try to comment in shock at how breathless his room is. I can't begin to explain.

"I told you when you got out of the Rolls; it's a house with a bed-baby" He smirks as of nothing is wrong with this picture.

God, I love it when he calls me baby. I walk in, slowly, admiring it all. 

"Its gorgeous-Joe...I never thought you would have such a glamourous taste" I smirk back but deep down, I'm admiring my surroundings of where he sleeps. He sure has great taste, from the gifts to this. Wow

But there's something that catches my eyes. The window. It has a vibe look as if you're in a church; it has the outline of the sign of the cross. The windows are full, and the lighting from the outside glares into the whole room. I stroll by the window sills and take a view of the outside from here. And just as I thought it would look, I'm speechless. 

The view is captivating. There's water surrounding a beautiful garden all around on a rolling hill as the light shines right on it. It looks heavenly. Wow Joe. That is all I thought.

I turn to where he's standing. He's gazing at me with the saddest eyes. He knows, keeping me from who he is and what he's worth was wrong. He walks to a tall mahogany chest that is half the size from the ceiling to the floor. He grabs a remote and turns on what now I know is music coming from a surround system. Not a second later, I hear the beginning a familiar song. "I forgive you by Sia.

"Seriously," I sarcastically say as I raise an eyebrow as I turn to Joe, who is taking off his wristwatch by the chest. 

"What can I say, your playlist suits me," he says in a husky voice and then gives me his pearly whites.

So he likes my playlist, I see. How freaking cute is that. I close my eyes and feel the moment. He makes me feel special enough to protect me from who he is. But I'm still angry at how I had to find out and why couldn't he have tried harder?

I look back out the window. I'm fascinated by the whole view. There's so much history out there. It seems peaceful and breathtaking. I feel Joe gazing at me. I turn and look at him.

The glare of the light seeping in from the outside, reflexes off him. What's going through his head? He looks beautiful, standing there. My gorgeous fucked up a billionaire. Who knew!

He's walking toward me. And I feel the adrenaline rising through my body. But, why do I feel confused?

"I'm sorry, Alix, I truly am. I didn't know I would have fallen so hard for you," he says as he turns me into his arms.

I nod. I feel my leg shake a bit. I'm not used to my surroundings. This is all new to me.

"Baby, your shaking," he says, confused.

"I'm sorry, I know, it's just, I'm not used to being here," I honestly say as I look into his eyes. And pulls me in close.

"I know, Alix, in time" he reassures me. "Now that you know, things will only get better, I promise." he softly says as he holds me tight. I needed to hear that. I need his comfort to make me feel safe. I hope it'll all work out as he promises. He pulls away and cups my face.
