My Annabel

CHAPTER FIVE

The following day, Anderson went out to get a perfect outfit for Annie. He also got other dressing accessories, a set of jewelry purely made of sparkling diamonds. It was all so adorable. Annabel was so delighted and thanked him very well.

When it was sunset, Anderson told Annie to get ready and put on the new clothing and accessories.

Claire came back a little earlier than before, knowing that Annabel wouldn't be around to assist her in the kitchen that evening. Before Annabel could finish dressing up, Claire was home.

She went to her room and met her adjusting her dress, which was well-fitted. It's safe to say the masterpiece was specifically made for her. Anderson really has an eye for glamorous things.

“ You look amazing” Claire said to her after watching her from behind for a while without her notice. Let me help with the fastening, Claire offered. Annabel, who was startled at first had no option than to oblige.

Her excitement was outpouring, one can easily tell from her facial expressions.

Anderson got these for you? She asked Annabel.

Yes he did.

That's very nice of him. They look fantastic. Claire highlighted. Thank you very much ma, for giving me this privilege of associating with your family members. Annabel said in her tiny sweet voice.

It's alright my darling, when you're done, you can come downstairs. I will be in the kitchen, Clair said as she leaves the room.

Down in the living room, Claire sighted a perfect gentleman dressed in his best attire sitting and keenly looking at his phone.

Claire let out a broad smile as she moved closer. “You look good Anderson”, she complimented him and warned him, please handle her with care and bring her back safely.

I promise to do just that, Anderson pledged.

In less than sixty seconds that Claire left the living room to the kitchen, here comes the angel Anderson had been waiting for, Annie Anderson!!!

As she was plodding down the staircase majestically, her eyes were running a brisk survey in the living room. She probably was shy and then she caught the most handsome man ever, standing at the middle of the room gazing lustfully at her.

She almost fell down as she missed her step, but this spectacular gentleman wouldn't let her as he held her with his left hand while the right hand forms a pleasing curve at her back, just a little above her gluteal muscles with it's widened circumference and diameter.

Annabel might be delineated to be petite, but she is pretty much endowed. Although she ignored the lecherous gaze from Anderson and said thank you as she regained her balance.

“ You look gorgeous, Annie” he finally uttered his thoughts.

Thank you! Your grand outfit doesn't have anything to second either. Annabel said and both laughed out loud that Claire had to go out to witness whatever that was causing the fun-filled moments.

Love is a beautiful thing, she exclaimed! You both look great together. Anderson, remember what I told you, and she went back to her kitchen, leaving the two to enjoy their time.

Ladies first! Anderson said and demonstrated for Annabel to lead the way while he followed.

While they were approaching the entrance door, it opened swiftly in front and Charlie came in.

Ooh bro welcome, we are to go out. Anderson tried explaining to his brother, who has not recovered from the shock of seeing Annabel in a totally different look from what she used to be.

Bro, bro Anderson called out again before he could answer. Okay, Charlie said reluctantly.

They left the building for the car park. Anderson opened the front door of his car and ushered Annie in. Then he took a turn and got into his seat.

Anderson also owns one of the latest Mercedes and Annabel loved everything about it, right from the owner, the addictive candied saints in the car, to the way he effortlessly maneuvered the steering.

It was all perfect in her sight.

Where are we going? She asked Anderson, he replied with a question “where do you know in the city?” I know no where she answered.

Well it's been a long time since I visited the city, but trust me, you will love the place. Anderson reassured her as he kept cruising his ride.

They got to their destination and alighted from the car. Anderson brought his hand forward, forming a V shape placed horizontally and Annie looked into his eyes with her contagious smile. Of course, she understood his moves and complied by giving out her hand in the same way, and they walked into the giant building hand in hand.

Annabel had been admiring the building from outside since they got into the vicinity and had imagined what the inside could be if the outlooks can be so alluring. Whoever handled the decorations and finishing is a pro, Annabel said.

The thoughts of every eye that beholds Anderson and Annie reads ”what a match made in heaven” unconsciously, because who would take a glance at them and not want to stare?

The way they affectionately steal glances at each other and how fast they could communicate with their eyes and understand superbly.

Annie, let me get something off your hair, he said. Without hesitating, she moved closer obediently with her eyelids binding to each other.

To her greatest surprise, she felt this soft and smooth hand on her shoulder, a painless pinch on her lower mandible tilting her face forward upward, this passionate kiss being planted on her lips and forehead, a whisper so tiny yet her heart could interpret boldly saying “I love you Annie”. Followed by a sweet slight bite on her earlobe.

At this point, it's crystal clear that Anderson does not want to take anything off her hair, and he is just a loving soul. The open display of affection is one of its kind.

Annabel opened her eyes and felt so embarrassed, she didn't mind if the ground should just swallow her. How could he be doing this outside? She cried to herself while Anderson was finding it all funny and sweet.

A lot of gazes were fixed on them, Anderson is really putting up a scene. Don't try this again, you tricked me, she said. I promise to do more, sweetheart. That was a slap on her face. She didn't see this response coming from him.

Anderson adjusted a seat for his woman to sit, and he sat directly opposite her. Annabel was deeply thinking why he has been a calm guy in the house if he could put up such an act in a public place.

Maybe he is not free in his brother's house.

Just before she could raise her head, a waiter was standing before her already with one of the amazing foods, her favorite, actually. Anderson swept her off her feet again. He had all sorted out before now, and he had just been observing her reactions and smiling.

He was happy that he could put such a huge smile on her face.

His own meal was served, they both ate with so much peace and happiness.
