"Let's end the deal and make it real," he suddenly said, so I hit him slowly on his chest. He grabbed my hand and turned my face to him. "Did you hear me, baby? Let's end this; let's have a happy ever after." He whispered, and that's why my cheeks and eyes turned red when I realized what he meant.
"D-do you have to make me cry before you tell me that?" I let out a loud moan because I didn't know why he had to do this to me. "Y-you can say it on your own!" I growled.
"I did," he said, laughing, so I removed both my hands from his grip. "Come on, baby, let's be official."
"N-no, I don't want to!" I stubbornly replied and marched towards the other room. I saw in my peripheral vision that he chased me, but he didn't do his best to catch up with me.
"He shouldn't make me cry if he loves me! Doesn't he know that it's a pain in my ass?" I groaned and stomped on the sofas in this room. I was annoyed, but at the same time, my heart felt like I was in the cloud. Gosh, is it really like this when you are treated right, or is everything just at first?
I'll just remove all the negative thoughts and think positively. I have to have fun first and forget everything first because no matter what I do to keep the man away, he is here in my heart. I'm confused by what's happening, but for now, I will just go with the flow.
I stayed on the terrace for a few minutes when the door suddenly opened, and Raven's worried face spat out. He runs towards me and hugs me tightly, like I don't have the right to leave his arms.
"Don't say that again; I'm worried." He caressed my back and hugged me even tighter until I ran out of breath. I slapped his back because I couldn't breathe; luckily, he felt it, so he immediately released me. "I thought something would happen to you,"
I coughed and held my chest. I don't know why the man's impact is so strong, no matter what he does. I just smiled at him, then we sat on the made-in-wood chair, and there was a table on the terrace.
I voluntarily made a coffee for the both of us; he wouldn't have agreed, but I pinched his nose and went inside the kitchen first. Everything was ecstatic, me and him with our preferred coffee with us, the wondrous city that we saw. You know that everything is tailor-made; everything here is too prepossessing.
"So...what do you think? Let's go island hopping. Or diving?" No words come out of my mouth because I feel like I just want us to be quiet because paradise is so calm. I looked his way, and he gave me a tranquil gaze that made my heart beat so nimble.
"Let's just stay here." I slowly brought my hand closer to him and intertwined it. Gosh, he was too warm while I was too cold. I just looked at him, and he did the same. "I want to be with you in this peaceful environment," I uttered, kissing him. He grabbed my waist to support me, and my face heated because of what he did.
We both watched the ocean that was pulchritudinous glow; we fell asleep there too; that was the last thing I remembered, but in the morning when I woke up. I'm in bed, and no one is with me. I squeeze my closed eyes, stretch my hands, and then get up because a new day is needed to celebrate.
After I got to the kitchen, since the room is like a house, if you want to eat, there is something, and so on. I wouldn't be surprised if this is too expensive; I mean, he is a Smith and would never settle for cheap.
"Good morning, baby," he said, kissing my forehead before going back to cooking. Why is he being so cute and gentlemanly? This man is annoying! "I cook bacon, eggs, hotdogs, and the usual coffee with bread." I just smiled because he always knew how to pull me.
I moved a chair up to their enormous dining table, rested my elbow on the table, pressed both palms to my cheeks, and squinted while waiting for him to finish. My heart always urges me to calm down, but it refuses every time I see how hard he worked for both of us.
I've never had this experience with Roux; he never makes an effort because he always uses his money. It was excellent when you think about it, because Roux could give me anything, but Raven, I thought it was the ideal way he transcends everything to Roux. I had no idea that a wealthy person could make an effort without spending any money. What he was doing made me feel like he was willing to take a risk for me because I was worth it.
"Ready," I was stunned for a few moments, and the spirit also returned when he snapped in from me. "A perfect food for a beautiful princess," he said, sitting next to me instead of in front of me.
Why didn't I see Raven's potential before, or maybe I was just blinded by the fact that we could never be? As I've said, he was too high; you can't handle it if you don't have potential.
We just ate instead of praising him in my mind. His cooking skills did not disappoint me; they've always been special and fantastic in taste. Why didn't he study to be a chef? Because he gets what I want, even basic foods. All the ingredients are tangy and not too oily, so I admire him even more.

"Hi, sir, I can give you a tour of the island if you want it to be private." The woman at the counter when we got here said that. She flirtatiously scrutinized the man, while I was always on the sidelines.
"My girlfriend doesn't feel comfortable with your actions, so let's go with someone else." Raven grabbed my waist and went to the other area. I looked at the woman and told her that I was the winner. "Do you want to go scuba diving?" he suddenly asked me. I was not a professional swimmer, so I shook my head, wondering what else would happen to me. I felt like the ocean was going to swallow me.
"Let's just go island hopping," I suggested, and he agreed immediately; he didn't even shake his head or anything. I smiled at the thought that whatever I wanted, he would follow.
"But, will you at least give a try at scuba diving? I promise I will support you." He blinked his eyes multiple times, so I just laughed. No matter what he wants, he will still obey, "but if you don't want them, I won't force you." I know he wants me to be amazed at how wonderful the sea is.
"I'm in." I wasn't sure, but when I saw the joy on his face, I was sure of my decision. "I'll give you one chance." I pinched his cheek, and then we had fun.
A lot transpired and there have been numerous obstacles, yet we are still here united. I'm not sure if this is an ideal, but I have full trust that whatever we have, I'll stick to it. I can take all of the criticism, but will I proceed to live my life as usual?
We also spent two hours touring around the islands, admiring their beauty, until he decided we needed to rest because we were going scuba diving. I felt edgy and enlivened by what I was about to describe at the depths of the ocean. I cast a glance at the man who has closed his eyes. I can clearly see his flawless face, which appears to be a rare occurrence.
"Let's go?" He suddenly invited me, so I stood up from the chair. My heart beat rapidly; he is fvcking a reason for my death. Damn it! "Did I startle you?" He held both of my shoulders and caressed me to tame me.
What a nice trick, Axl Raven Smith!
We are on a yacht that he chartered. I swallowed my own saliva when I saw this wide, clear, and deep ocean. I haven't even set foot yet. I feel like I'm being eaten to the bottom, but I have to fight this fear of mine.
"Are you ready?" He held my hand. I looked into his eyes; he was assuring me that I would be safe once I was by her side, so I nodded. "Breathe in," I inhale, "breathe out." I exhale. I hold his hand well and pray in my mind.
We dive, and I am almost astounded by how gorgeous the bottom is—the coral reefs, the fish. I smile as I look at the man still holding my hand and receive a thumbs up from him. We even swam in the ocean because I wanted to be closer to the people who keep the ocean exquisite and clear, and nature appears to be really beautiful. Why didn't I think of this before?
When I turned to show the man something, he abruptly placed a ring on my hand. I was astounded that he instantaneously transported me across the ocean. I was catching my breath while looking at him.
"What's this?" I pointed at the ring.
"You're my girlfriend; you're mine." After he said those words, he immediately showered kisses on my hair.
