Chapter 19
A week has gone by and still, Justin wasn't able to say anything to Fiona and today is the last day of their trip. Tomorrow they will head back to their home.
"Hey!! What's wrong? You have been zoning out a lot since morning" Fiona asked him. Worry was written all over her face.
"Nothing, it's just today is our last day of vacation and after a day or so we have to get back to work."
"Yeah, I know," she said sadly.
"I want to say something," He blurted out of nowhere.
"Um, sure, say?"
This was the perfect opportunity to pour his heart out. "Oh, I wanted to say that...the weather today is very pleasant. Don't you think?"
'Seriously weather?' Justin cursed himself mentally.
"Oh yeah, I guess"
"I want to say something else?"
"Ok, go ahead," she said carefully.
Justin took her hands in his and it fitted perfectly "your hands are so soft." he said without thinking.
"Thanks, I guess," she answered awkwardly.
"You're welcome," Justin said with a sly smile and chuckled nervously.
'Ok! What the hell is wrong with Justin?' That's was the first thought that came in Fiona's mind. From morning he has been zoning out. It seemed like he was thinking really hard for something and wanted to say something but was failing big time.
And now he is acting weirdly. His behavior was absurd. Complimenting about the weather and her hand.
Seriously!
Boys!!
Justin first thought after their awkward conversation. 'What the hell is wrong with me?? Seriously!! Hand. Well, he didn't lie when he said that her hand is soft. Her hand is soft and smooth.'
Dude get a grip.
*at night*
Ok, deep breathing. In out, in, out, just calm down. Relax Justin just relax.
He can't be relaxed right now, can he? Outside, the most beautiful girl is waiting for him and he had screwed every chance he got. Since morning he has been trying to tell her, but Instead of confessing his feelings, he had blurted out nonsense.
He appreciated the weather, her hand, the designer who made the dress which did look beautiful on her, the streets, and the environment. Seriously, he needs to check his sanity.
This was way more difficult than the business deal. He looked in the mirror of the washroom of the restaurant.
"Dude, you can do this and she is going to say yes. Though she is not like other girls who run behind you, but she will say yes."
Justin tried to assure himself in every way he can. Exactly she is not like other girls how could he expect a yes from her.
One last time he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and left the washroom.
"What took you so long; you were gone for like 20 min or so," Fiona asked Dam!! 20 min "I don't think you would like to know"
"What...Gross" she scrunched her nose up.
He laughed at her reaction.
"So what do you want to have?" I asked "Umm anything is fine. I am really confused as to what should I eat."
"Ok then"
He called the waiter and ordered their food. Soon the meal came and they dug into it. And the mother glory of nature, the food was delicious.
Both of them were done with their food, but still, Justin didn't man up and told her about his feelings. If things continue like this he won't be able to tell her anything even in his next life.
Should he even say it to her? What if it's the signal from the universe that she would say no? What if this is not the right time? Well, everything happens for a reason, right?
Yes of course it does. So it's decided that he won't tell her anything. When it's the right time he would tell her.
"Halloo..."Fiona was waving both her hands in front of his eyes.
"Did I space out again?" Justin laughed nervously.
"Yes, you certainly did," she chuckled.
"Um so would you like to have a dance with me my dear wife?" he extended his hand In front of them, many couples were dancing. They were having their meal on the rooftop. The tables were placed on the edge of the railings and the middle space was kept blank for the couples who were willing to dance.
"Umm sure hubby" she gladly accepted his hand.
He led her to the dance floor. Justin kept both his hand on her waist and she kept her hands on his shoulder. The music was slow and both of them were moving along in sync.
He pulled her closer. And she interlocked her fingers behind his neck. They both were very close and moving perfectly with the beat.
The couple was staring at each other. Justin put the strand of her hair behind her ears. He kept his hand on one of her cheeks and then slowly leaned in.
