Chapter 17: I got lost in you
Ella's POV:
"Baby, we will be going for a date. I will pick you up at 6pm after office. Be ready. I love you."
Ethan said, kissing my forehead. It's been this way since I was admitted at the hospital, the second time due to fainting.
He is always being sweet and caring but I am not complaining.
"Ethan," I called out to him. He raised his eyebrow and pouted. "Why are you calling me Ethan? Where is my babe or dear?"
I rolled my eyes and chuckled at him. "Okay, okay babe."
"Yes baby." He told me with a smile.
"How long is it going to last?" He gave me a confused look.
"I mean you being all nice, caring and lovely to me."
He sighed at me. "Aren't you happy?" I shook my head as fast as I could.
"No, no I mean. I am more than happy and I love it, but I just don't wanna get hurt like last time. You know how you treated me and all those." He came closer to me cupping my cheeks, I faced down.
"Hey, look at me. I love you Ella and that would not change. I regret treating you like trash these few weeks. I am sorry for that but I thought if only you could be distant with me, the risk of getting you hurt would be less but I did not realise that I was the one hurting you the most. Please forgive me." He said staring deep into my eyes, never blinking even once.
"I have already forgiven you. It's not like I can stay mad at you when you look like you are going to cry."
I said, smiling and he immediately pulled me into a kiss.
It was full of love and was a passionate kiss.
"Can I take a day off?" He said, giving me his sheepish smile.
I flicked his forehead.
"Ow what was that for?" He rubbed the spot.
"For asking a stupid question. You are getting late, now go. I will be waiting for you. Byeeee."
I said pushing him to the door. He went with a pout on his face. Aish, he still is a kid.
It's 4'0 clock, meaning only 2 hours left. And I am still lazing around. I don't even know what to wear. Gosh! He is going to be so mad if I don't get ready. I got up from my bed to investigate my closet to find anything suitable.
Ring! Ring!
The doorbell rang. Is it Ethan?!
Nah he never uses a doorbell or even knocks. I went downstairs and saw a maid talking to someone, then the man left. She turned towards me and gave me the box.
"Mam, it's for you." I smiled at her and took the box. "Thanks."
I immediately went to my room and opened the box. I stared in awe when I saw the dress. I saw a small note in it.
I know you can't choose a dress by yourself so wear it. I love you.
-Ethan I smiled to myself. He is such a good boyfriend.
It was simple but elegant at the same time: black silk fabric. Off one shoulder. It fell to my knees and fit my body perfectly.
I saw a small package. To my surprise it had matching black heels for the dress and a purse. I just hope this stays forever.
I quickly got ready, did my make up, and curled my hair at the ends.
I heard the voice of the car. When I saw from the window, it was Ethan's. I hurriedly wore my heels and went downstairs.
Ethan's POV:
I parked my car and went inside the living room waiting for Ella, using my phone. I looked up from my phone when I heard the sound of heels, only to be frozen. There stood my girl totally rocking the black dress.
She totally looked like an angel. I was staring at her deep in my thoughts thinking what I did to deserve her and her love.
"ETHAN MILLER " My thoughts were blocked when I heard her yelling my name.
Ella's POV:
I came downstairs only to see a blank Ethan. He was staring at me? I guess? With wide eyes and jaw hanging so low that if I poured water we could swim.
"Ethan." no response.
"Babe, hello?" Still no response.
"V" I called thinking he would respond to me but no. My patience level broke.
"ETHAN MILLER" I yelled his name but not so loud and finally he came to earth.
"Did you go to the universe and lose your way back?"
I asked him, waving my hands in front of him.
"Why?" He asked. Aish, seriously.
"Because you looked so lost. Where were you lost?" He acted like thinking for a while and smirked coming closer to me.
He pulled me by my waist.
"Yeah, I was lost."
He came closer, closing even the smallest distance between us. That's when I realised how hot he looked tonight. I stared into his deep brown eyes which never failed to make me drown in it.
"In you." He whispered in my ears sending chills down my spine.
"You don't know how happy I am to have you. And believe me when I say you are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I love you." He said making me blush.
"I love you too." And he sealed those words with a kiss.
After pulling away he led me to his car and opened the door of the passenger seat.
Even his simple gestures like this makes me fall harder for him. After a kind of long drive he stopped the car. I was confused because it was like in the middle of nowhere.
He opened the door for me and I got out still confused. I looked at him with a puzzled face, he might have understood. "It's a surprise." And with that he blind folded me.
He led me to I don't know where, but I trust him. After a few minutes' walk, he untied my blindfold, leaving me in awe.
The trees were all wrapped with golden lights, there was a small pathway which led to a small picnic blanket. And there was a small lake which made the scene even better. I didn't even notice when the tears fell from my eyes until he wiped them off.
"You know I thought you would take me to a club again." I said staring at him with a wide grin on my face.
He sighed and looked at me with eyes full of love. "You know princess, you make me do things that I never dreamt of. It's not that I don't like it. And you were the one who said that you like romantic dates."
How sweet can he be?
"So if I say, I like someone then would you let me go?" Then the horror on his face was unbelievable.
"You w-would n-not say that, r-right?" He stuttered.
I feel guilty now. I immediately pulled him for a hug and kissed his cheeks.
"No, I won't. Not now. Not ever." And with that we spent our dinner date cherishing each other's company, eating like crazy foodie and kissing under the beautiful night sky full of stars.
