Chapter 153: A Chance To Love You
Why was Golden saying thank you? Xander didn't understand. And why was she crying? He didn't mean to make her cry. He just wanted her to know how he felt about her.
“Gigi, what's wrong? Why are you crying? I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm sorry.” Xander said as he rubbed her back, trying to console her.
“No. No. It's not you Xander.” Golden stopped crying and wiped her tears. “I'm not crying because you hurt me or anything.
These are happy tears, well maybe mixed with a little sadness. I'm happy because this is the first time that someone has told me he's in love with me and I didn't have to beg for the love.” Golden said, finally getting her emotions under control.
“Then why are you sad Gigi?” Xander asked, confused.
“I'm sad because unlike before, I can't love freely. Allan really broke my heart, and although I feel better and I'm not angry at him anymore, I just can't bring myself to trust anyone with my heart.”
“Gigi, I don't expect you to fall in love with me immediately. All I ask is that you consider me.” Xander held her hands and said. “I'm willing to wait for you to learn to love and trust again.
I'm not Allan Gigi. I will not hurt you. Please don't judge me by the mistakes of another man. Please let me love you the way you deserve to be loved.”
Golden looked into Xander's eyes. She could see sincerity and love in it, and as much as she wanted to love him, she just couldn't let go.
“Okay” Golden said.
“Okay what Gigi?” Xander asked.
“I agree to let you court me. Look Xander, I will be lying if I say that I am in love with you, or that I will fall in love with you soon.
But like you said, I will not judge you by another man's mistake. So I'm willing to get to know you with the intention of dating you. And who knows, maybe one day I will fall in love with you.”
“That's all I want Gigi. A chance to love you, I promise you won't regret this decision.” Xander looked into Gigi's eyes, a bright smile on his face.
It was as if he had just won a lottery. He couldn't believe that she was almost his. Although she wasn't in love with him yet, but at least she was willing to try.
Golden and Xander sat on the hill, her back to his chest and they talked about their childhood and what it was like growing up.
Time flies when you are in the company of the one you love. Xander and Golden chatted for a while and didn't even realize that time had gone until the Big Ben Clock struck 12.
They went down the hill holding hands. Xander decided to drive them back.
“Let me drive you milady. Since I'm courting you now, I should be a gentleman and take good care of you.” Xander said as they got to the car.
Golden smiled and handed over her car keys. The ride back was fun. Golden connected her phone to the car Bluetooth and decided to play something from her phone.
She was surprised that she and Xander shared the same taste in music and they vibed to the songs, laughing and singing along.
Golden was shocked to hear Xander sing. He had a really nice singing voice and he gave her the Bruno Mars vibe.
“Hmm, a doctor, and a singer. Xander who really are you?”
“Don't worry love, you will find out in time. By the time you know all of me, you will already have fallen deeply in love with me.” Xander said locking his hand with hers and smiling.
They drove to the Nixon Manor and Xander dropped Golden off. He was about to book an Uber when Golden stopped him.
“Wait Xander. Since we are going shopping tomorrow, how about you go with the car so you can come pick me up?”
“Well I was planning on getting a rental car tomorrow. I already called the rental company and I am supposed to pick up the car tomorrow.”
“Cancel it Xander. Let's use my car for tomorrow. And if you need a car to move around while you are in London, I can arrange one for you. That's if you don't mind.” Golden quickly added.
She didn't want to seem like she was imposing anything or that she was too forward.
“You are so cute when you are agitated.” Xander touched Gigi's face lightly with a smirk on his face. “Why would I reject your offer my love?
You are just showing me you care about me plus you are also saving money for your future boyfriend so thank you.”
Golden couldn't help but blush. She didn't know that Xander was the cheeky type. He clearly didn't lack money but anyone who heard him would think he was managing.
“Anyways it's time to go in now. Text me when you get to your hotel. See you tomorrow Xander.” Golden opened the car door and got out.
She had gotten to the door of the house and wanted to key in the password when she turned around and saw Xander leaning on the car, waiting for her to go in.
On impulse, she turned back and walked towards him and hugged him.
“Goodnight Xander, and thanks for tonight.”
Xander wasn't expecting Golden to come back and give him a hug but he was ecstatic. He deepened the hug and pecked her on the cheek.
“Goodnight my love. I'll let you know when I get to my suite.”
Golden touched her cheek where Xander had kissed her. She didn't expect him to and that place felt hot.
It was as if he unlocked something in her. She also pecked him and turned around and ran to the door. She keyed in the password, entered the house and rested her back on the door.
Her heart was racing and her cheeks were flaming red. She blamed Xander for everything. He kept calling her “my love” and saying things to trigger her.
When she finally calmed down, she went to her bedroom to take a shower and get ready for bed. The girls were probably already asleep and she didn't want to disturb them.
