Head over Heels (ON HOLD)

Chapter.14

Rachel.

My eyes were glossy and my throat was becoming dry with the ticking of each minute.

When Remo had asked me to go out for a dinner, I expected it to be way normal. But this went way out of his league. It broke all my expectations and it seems as if I am transported to my fantasy world with Remo decorating my whims and fancies.

The sight infront of me catches me off guard. I could see a river or stream flowing infront of me, I still can't make the difference between either of the two. Both seems well.... just the same to me. But what really catches my attention is the swams in the it. God! Black swans.

Black swans?!

But why black? I make a mental note to ask him later.

A table, for two, was lit with a candle. The table was set under a tree and the the flowers falling from it surrounded the table. It was simply...beauty personified! The atmosphere was serene and my whole being was at peace.

I finally met my glossy eyes with Remo's electrifying gray eyes. Our eyes speaks thousand words which we are never able to speak to each other. The attraction between them is undeniable. I could see flicker of surprise in his eyes. I could see the anxiety masking his painstakingly handsome face.

God! Remo was indeed handsome. Although his face held bruises and there was a deep cut along his jawline. All this could not mar the handsome man behind it. His stubble was prominent and gave him a five'o'clock shade. The Adam's apple that is so conspicuous, just adds to his overall beauty. The three piece business suite he's wearing did justice to his body. It perfectly hung to his strong torso, the broad shoulders and the perfectly long legs. The jacket didn't help much to hide a fascinating body beneath it. The way Remo is holding me by my waist sends sliver of chills right down my spine. His touch always awakens me and I hate the way my body responds to his gestures. Even the simple look with which he eyes at me, is enough to break goosebumps all over my body.

Remo did go out of his league to do all this. Good heavens! I can't help but feel the pull between us. I can't help but feel extremely attracted to this man infront of me. God! Forgive me for such feelings. Remo is gonna be my nemesis.

"Thank you." I finally manage to break the awkward silence engulfing us. It came more as a whisper.

To which Remo rolls his eyes and I cannot help but stifle a laugh. Taking my hand he takes me to the table. Pulling a chair he makes me sit comfortably on it and he himself moves to the other chair, across mine.

"So...." Remo drags.

"I can't believe Remo, it's just beautiful. I mean I am spellbound. You planned all this?"

Remo seems to shift in his chair uncomfortably. But then quickly revives himself.

"Would you mind if I tell that I was just the executioner and Fabiano, is the mastermind behind all this." He waves his hand in the air.

I couldn't help but chuckle. Remo eyes me suspiciously.

"I admire your honesty. Thanks for that. And I don't mind if this is all Fabiano's plan", I extend my hand across the table and takes his hand in mine. "I am infact glad that you did all this. Thanks. It means a lot." I assure him with my smile.

He nods his head and gives my hand a little squeeze.

With that Remo gives his nod at a steward to serve food. I was taken back by the food that was being served to me. It was Indian! Geez Remo did plan all this. This was too simple a gesture but swept me off my feet. I remember telling him that I did miss Indian cuisine. But never did I think he would do such an act. An act that sealed Remo was giving his best shot to win me over. And I must say.....
