Consequences

"Hurry up, El," I impatiently speak up, "we're already late."

I've been waiting for her for an hour now. What the heck is she even doing?

Pacing around, I check my rolex for the umpteenth time, waiting for her to get ready.

Turning left, I'm about to head towards her room when she finally decides to come out, making my jaw drop.

Wow.

My widened gaze is fixed on her with my lips ajar. Her red dress is flowing down her body, accentuating her curves while the off-shoulder neck is showing off her delicate shoulders.

Red.

She's wearing red. I knew she'll listen to me.

God. She's beautiful.

Her black hair flows down her back in loose curls with her makeup done to perfection. The black heels she is wearing makes her look taller than she actually is with the diamond necklace sitting perfectly on her neck.

My eyes meet hers and for a second I forget everything around me, getting lost in the depths. The world around me doesn't matter. All that matters is right infront of me, has been right infront of me all these years. All that matters is her.

Her.

How I wanna touch her right this instant. How I wanna caress her skin, kiss her and feel her in my arms. I'll do anything just to hold her in my arms. How much I want her. How much I missed her. She has no idea.

She awkwardly clears her throat, pulling me out my reverie, "I thought we were getting late."

Nodding, I offer her my hand, still unable to form any words. Atleast her touch will calm some of my mind. Though, she rolls her eyes and walks past me muttering something under her breath.

Sighing, I turn around to walk with her, putting my hand on her back, making her squirm. The moment my skin touched the soft fabric, I felt the warmth radiate through my hand to throughout my body. Smirking, knowing I still have an effect on her, I lean in towards her ear.

"You look breath-takingingly beautiful, as always," I whisper huskily. I notice how her cheeks turns red at my compliment, making my smirk widen.

God. I love her. And I don't want to let her go. Not yet. Never.

Walking her outside after locking all the doors, I pull her towards the limo. Martin sees us coming and open up the car doors for us before bowing a little.

Nodding in thanks, I let Ella go in, soon following in behind her. After shutting the door close, Martin jogs to the driving seat and speeds the car towards the ball.

I glance towards Ella who is looking out the tinted windows, admiring the nightview the city is offering. I guess she must've felt my eyes on her because next thing I know is, she has turned in my direction, her eyebrow raised in question.

Snaking a hand around her waist, I pull her on my lap, smirking as she tries to wriggle out of my hold but can't.

"What the heck?" She whisper-yells, a scowl set on her beautiful face.

"Did I tell you that you look gorgeous?" I teasingly ask her, my lips twitching up in a smirk.

"It's not funny, Gray," she rolls her eyes leaning away from me but the car hits a bump, making her fall on me instead. A gasp escapes her lips and her arms lock around my neck for support. My smirk widens and my hold on her tightens, keeping her in place.

Leaning in, I kissed her cheek, her skin feeling so soft and warm. "I love you," I murmur in her ear, trailing kisses from her jaw to her neck.

I smirk as she arches her neck for better access, her eyes shut closed and lips pulled in between her teeth.

"You don't wanna know how I'm holding myself back from kissing you," I whisper biting her delicate skin, my hands caressing her back, holding her as close as possible.

The car comes to a halt making me curse under my breath. As if on queue, Ella slides down from my lap, a blush prominent on her cheeks.

"Sir, we're here," Martin's voice echo through the small speaker I have set in here. In no time, he is out opening the door. Getting out, I straighten up my tux before offering a hand to Ella.

She takes my hand and slides out of the limo. Holding her hand tightly, I pull her along me towards the entrance, the paparazzi surrounding us, the cameras flashing in our direction.

I notice how it made Ella uncomfortable as her hold on my arm tightens, so I try my best to ignore the questions of us being together again and rush inside.

I'll do anything for you, Ella. Anything and everything, to get you back.
