Lost In His Hatred

ONE

Present -

Laura Milton took a deep breath seeing the man of her dream coming towards her. Yes, the man whom she always adored, admired and loved.

She can clearly see the familiar figure of her favorite person as he was directed towards her by the receptionist.

The man noticed her easily and walked forward to her table as Laura stood up from her seat to greet the man.

The man was incredibly tall that she could barely reach his height by wearing the pump high heels and the perfect muscles in his well build body were way too gorgeous to be real. Laura looked up to match his emerald green eyes. Perfectly chiseled features. The most gorgeous man she had ever seen in her life.

Darting his eyes from Laura the man looked at the receptionist who has generously accompanied him till he got from the reserved seat then glanced at Laura Milton. For a moment Laura caught him inspecting her whole looks and she can’t blame him for that. She made sure that she's perfectly ready for this special day of her life. She booked an appointment in the most expensive salon that she can be the most beautiful girl and wore a black crystal, fitted silhouette long length latest edition designer dress. And the green crystal embellishment on the chest was giving the perfect elegant look to herself.

The man took a seat opposite Laura and gave a warm smile to her. Laura Milton was looking so different from her usual looks. The angled bob cut hairstyle with the warm golden hair colour with dark roots and the amber effect was suiting elegantly to her beautiful cute face and the rare shade of violet eyes. And the tight fitted crystal black dress was giving a stunning look to her milk-white skin.

“You looks stunning, Cupcake.” He genuinely complimented her.

By his compliment Laura’s cheeks turned red as a tomato. She was used to hear such compliments from other boys, it’s not a new to her but they never affected her as hearing this from his lips did to her. She felt like the most beautiful girl in the universe, just with his single compliment. Every time he tells such flowery words she couldn’t stop herself but blush. ‘Cupcake' that’s what he always calls her. Since the day she looked up at his emerald eyes and lost in him.

“Thank you, Nicholas.” She whispered with shyness, feeling like the most beautiful girl in the universe.

The unusual behaviour wasn’t missed by Nicholas’s eyes but he just nodded and called the waiter to order the food. He handed the menu to Laura and asked her to place the order as she likes.

Laura looked at the man and adored him in her heart. What a gentle man. But she was too nervous that she just hold onto the menu and couldn’t decide what to chose for herself but she ordered all the favourite dishes of Nicholas. After making her order she placed the menu on his side. Nichols was stunned to see how she just picked all his favourite foods. He intently looked at the menu and then back to her face, her teeth were biting onto the half of her bottom lips. He can see her nervousness.

Soon the food was served. “Since you have treated me with all my favourite foods, I should take the lead to finish them. Then we can talk later about whatever you want to talk about,” Nicholas said with a warm smile which can melt thousands of hearts. Laura nodded her head with the agreement as Nicholas started with the appetiser but Laura’s attention was not on the food but on the man who was devouring the food in a very elegant way. Right at the moment, Laura’s mind was full of thoughts.

“What’s the matter Cupcake? Don’t you like the food? “ Nicholas finally asked putting down his forks noticing her gaze at him, all the time.

She pursed her lips and shook her head repeatedly, “No no… umm…foods are mouth-watering.”

Liar!! The man before her was mouth-watering not the foods.

“Okay! Then let’s eat first, after that we can talk.”

Laura nodded her head and started to eat the food silently. In full of excitement, she ate so quickly and Nicholas has been noticing her all the acts in a daze. What’s wrong with this girl. Something sure is cooking in her little head.

Before Nicholas could finish Laura finished her dishes in a hurry and waited for him to finish his. She was so nervous that her palms were sweating. But she couldn’t take her eyes off of Nicholas, the way he was eating the food. The scene of him eating the food was more mouth-watering than the delicious food just she ate.

How can be a man so handsome? Short dark hairs which have a contrast to his eyes, emerald green. Strong jaw lines and full plump lips. She couldn’t control herself from licking her lips seeing his mouth moving while chewing on his food.

Pervert!! She shouted at herself in her mind.

“We can start now, Cupcake,” Nicholas's husky voice brings her sense back to herself and she gulped down with nervousness. Nicholas put the napkin on the table once he was done wiping his mouth as he folded his hands in his chest waiting for her to start whatever was going on in her little brain.

Little did he already guessed what the girl before him was going to say to him. He was noticing her from the starting, she wasn’t behaving like herself. She looks so distant around her own thoughts and the way she was staring at him, making him suspicious.

“I…I think, Umm…” Laura gulped down the nervousness of her heart and closed her eyes. Finally, the moment has arrived that she got the chance to confess her feelings to the man of her dream. A chance to tell him how much she adores him and loved him in her heart.

At first, she was afraid to accept the feelings and now years passed but her feelings are still there. At first, she was confused with her heart that how could she fell for the rival of her family and started to tell herself that it was just an attraction that she was just attracted towards his incredible personality. Yes, it could be possible that way only. Then, maybe it was just he was the most handsome guy she had ever seen in her life, maybe it was just way to possible that she is so attracted to him. And then when her feelings became stronger than she ever thought it would be, she assured her that she just has a crush on him and nothing else. When nothing changed she used to tell herself may be it is just because she can’t have him for herself, so that she isn’t getting over him so easily.

But after years of battle with herself, she finally got the courage to accept the defeat before her heart and mind. Now she can wholeheartedly confess, “Nicholas Bennett, my heart is all yours now. Please take it in returns of your heart. I have been into you for forever and I’ll be into you for forever. Because I am confessing my love for you in front of the whole world. I fell in love with you years back. Still, I’m falling in love with you. And I promise to fall in love with you for the rest of my life. I want to say, I love you with my whole heart, will you love me back??”
