Life With Falling Gravity

~Chapter 15~

**~Chapter 15~**

Arina's POV:

when i woke up, i was trying to put the pieces together.

i can see. everything is dark, and dim. but i can see.

i put my hand to my face remembering the glasses Donivan gave me. i must have fainted, because the last thing i remmeber was falling back, and Donivan's face was shocked and he rushed to me.

wait...Donivan....

....my Donivan...

i shot up in a sitting position and i forgot to breath at the site i saw at the end of the bed.

".........D-Doni?" i asked.

he then gave such a sexy smirk,

"so i take it you're happy?"

"...i....i think that's an understatement."

i never took my eyes off of his.

"i don't think i have ever fainted before, if that helps clarify my level of happiness."

he then chuckled.

"why didn't you tell me sooner?" i asked.

"i thought you never called cuz you didn't care, but the truth is you cared so much you were the one taking care of me this whole time."

he then walked to my side of the bed,

"well....to be an honest goose?" he began while sitting on a stool.

"by the time i wanted to tell you, i thought you would think i was lying to impress you. then you told me you had a crush on me, as a celebrity, and i thought if i told you then, you would think i was mocking you or something.

you are the only one who had a liking to me, without knowing about my fame. and you're the only one who has never judged me for my rep.

you liked me for me, even before your accident.

and it was really nice having that for once. i didn't want to lose it.

and then i got scared of my feelings and freaked out and said things i didn't mean, and it broke my heart pushing you away, and of course it didn't last. i hated having you upset with me. {the hospital}.

and as time went on my feelings grew stronger, and stronger, and i knew i would have to tell you. everyday that i didn't tell you i hated it. i felt like i was lying to you everyday. i am SO sorry."

he then took my hands into his.

"so...this is really happening?" i asked, still somewhat shocked.

he chuckled, "yes, this is really happening."

"why me?" i asked confused.

"...remember when i told you that i have never been on a real date before? that i have never felt anything with anyone before?" he asked.

"i think?"

"well, everyone i have ever met in my past, they saw me as a celebrity. not for me, not for who i really am.

but you? you did.

and then you told me you had a huge crush on me as a celebrity. but when i asked you why, you gave me such a heart melting answer ,i just couldn't help but kiss you, because even as a celebrity, you loved me for me. not for the fame or for the money. even before your accident, you saw the real me."

"but why me?" i asked again.

"i don't follow."

"why are you interested in me?" i asked.

"interested? oh babe, we are way passed interested. when i told you i was in love with you, i meant it."

"but you could have any woman you want." i said.

he chuckled with his sexy smirk again,

"i have the woman that i want. and i'm really in love with her. madly in love with her."

my breaths became quick, almost as if i couldn't catch my breath at all. like i couldn't feel the air in my lungs.

Doni then looked at me, concerned.

"you ok?"

i put my hand on my chest, feeling my chest rise and fall quickly.

i then shook my head.

i motioned the 'inhaler' hand signal.

he then jumped up grabbed a bag from the left side of the room, and rushed back with my inhaler in hand.

he handed it to me, i shook it, and took 2 big puffs.

i immediately felt my lungs open. i took long, deep breaths with my hand still on my chest.

i then looked up at him. my god, he was tall. he looked so concerned.

i then pulled his hand down, making him sit on the bed.

i made him face me, and i intertwined my fingers in his, and leaned my head on his shoulder.

"please don't lie to me about anything else.

don't be scared to tell me anything, even if you think i will be upset.

it hurts so much more knowing someone i fell for, is lying to my face.

that alone, you're unknowingly stabbing me." i said.

i felt his arms wrap around me,

"i swear i will never lie to you ever again."

"god you smell so good." i said.

he then laughed lightly,

"so do you."

i then felt him kiss my forehead multiple times, and i loved each kiss.

he suddenly stopped,

"wait, did you just say you fell for me?" he said with a happy shocked look on his face.

i smiled,

"yes dumb dumb.

i...kinda fell for you before my accident.

but you're so awesome i didn't think you would like me back." i said.

i then straddled him, he looked surprised.

my lips crashed to his.

one of my hands slid to the back of his neck, and my other just cupped his jaw line to his ear.

he wrapped both of his arms around my lower back and pulled me closer.

i could feel all of his upper body muscles through his clothes.

my tongue made it's way into his mouth. he slightly moaned and hugged me tighter.

that reaction alone made me smile.

and then i felt his salute pressing against his skinny jeans.

i then pulled away from the kiss.

his eyes were still closed, and he was still leaning forward, as if to reach my lips again.

he then slowly opened his eyes.

he looked so high.

i knew i saw his raw feelings in his eyes. i didn't see heat, or lustful desire.

i saw...love.

pure love.

i never thought i would see pure love in Donivan Bozeli's eyes.

especially for me.

and especially with his reputation.

But here i was, seeing it in person. and it was for me.

for me!

Donivan was in love with me!

am i dreaming?

he then looked deep into my eyes.

"Arina, i really am in love with you. i will prove it to you everyday." he promised.

his words, and sincerity in his eyes, made my heart skip.

still on his lap, my lips then crashed onto his again.

before i knew it, he picked me up a bit, and flipped me over.

with our lips still interlocked, all i could do was make a 'yeep' sound against his lips.

he was now on top of me. it was not a lustful kiss.

it was pure, gentle, passion.

pure love.

his lips have always made me feel high and surrounded by sparks.

and it still does.

he then pulled away from our kiss, and gently rubbed the side of my face with his thumb.

"so angle, are you ready for our date?" he asked.

"yes."

he helped he up, i straightened his collar, damn he was tall.

"how tall are you?" i asked.

"6'2, you?"

"5 feet even, no wonder you seem so tall to me. you're so lengthy. you're like a walking noodle man."

he started laughing,

"what?"

"you're tall and dangly Doni." i said laughing.

"you could pass for one of those dancing noodle man balloons in front of a car wash."

he laughed hard.

"i think that was an insult but its too funny to be mad at it."

as we began to walk twords the door, hand in hand, i paused and asked,

"wait, is it bright outside? i don't want to make my condition worst."

"nope, i made sure to make our date plans for the evening, that way the sun will not bother your site.

i would never do anything to jeopardize your recovery angle.

but in the mean time, let me cover your eyes until we get to the exact spot.

i want it to be a surprise."

"you want me to put my blindfold back on?" i asked

"no. tonight, there is no such thing as a blind fold. now close your eyes"

he then took my glasses off, i heard the door open, and then he put his hands over my eyes.

we slowly walked down a hall, and up some steps.

then we moved around a corner, and then we stopped.

he removed his hands and put the glasses back on.

"ok, open your eyes beautiful."

and what i saw took my breath away, i did not expect to see what i was seeing.

"oh my god." i whispered in amazement.

"you like it?" he asked, motioning me to sit.

"yes, but you didn't have to rent a boat for our first date."

"rent? oh no, i own this yacht, baby.

but i did hired some cooks to prepare us some amazing food for today, but other than that, we are completely alone.

but they will leave shortly after desert." he explained.

"wait, you own this?"

he chuckled.

"yes, i told you money is not an issue for me."

"and i told you, i am simple and don't care about money.

a simple dinner or a movie would have been just fine." i explained.

"we are having a simple dinner." he said with a smirk while leaning on the booth seat with one arm draped on the neck of the seat.

it was a cool, flirty, pose.

"lets be honest, you are not as simple as what you think you are Mr. Bozeli." i said with a giggle.

he then lifted one eyebrow and slid a small box onto my plate.

when i saw it i stared at it for a moment, and then my face shot to look at him.

"before you freak out, this is not an engagement ring.

this is our first date, i just wanted to make it special." he said.

"So, what is it?" i said looking at the box from the side, almost as if i was afraid to touch it.

he chuckled,

"its a gift.

i figured it would be nice to treat you and spoil you a bit while you have your site back.

i wanted tonight to be really special.

its just something i thought you might like and i wanted you to have it.

i thought it would look beautiful on your hand.

i guess you can call it, a 'going steady gift'?" he explained.

he then grabbed the box, and opened it.

it was a simple, yet, beautiful, ring.

it was wavy band with diamonds.

he then gently took my right hand, and slid it on my middle finger.

"Doni, its beautiful. thank you." i said holding his hand.

Doni then grabbed the wine bottle from the ice bucket, popped the cork, and pored for us, {i thought it was wine}.

"Doni, i don't drink."

"i know, that's why i got us sparkling apple cider." he said with a sexy smirk.

Not before long, 2 servants {in formal black and white attire}, came with silver covered trays.

they placed one in front of me, and one in front of Doni.

When they uncovered them, each tray carried, fresh lobster, a succulent tender loin steak, baked potato with sour cream sprinkled with parsley, saute'ed garlic shrimp, and vegetables.

i took a deep slow breath taking in the delicious aroma.

"...oh my god. this smells amazing. i love this combination."

"i know. i told you i was trying to make today special. i wanted to spoil you today." he explained.

"well, you succeeded. now stop." i said with a smile.

"i don't want anyone thinking i'm taking advantage of you." i explained and taking a spoonful of baked potato into my mouth.

"no one's words, thoughts, or even their opinions matter." he said kissing my lips gently.

he held up his glass, as a silent toast.

i smile and rose my glass.

After we finished dinner, which was amazing in every way possible, the servants took our plates, and dirty utensils away.

they then came back with another tray. they uncovered it revealing, my favorite cake of all time.

Chocolate tuxedo cake.

"oh my god i love you."

"are you talking to me or the cake?" he asked with a chuckle.

"you, i'm talking to you. and not because you're spoiling me, but because you remember all of my favorite things.

most people don't remember, or even listen." i explained, kissing him on the cheek.

i took the first bite, "mmm." i let it savor into my mouth.

Each bite better than the last.

i just let it melt into my mouth.

After half way through the slice of cake, a servant came and stood in front of the table.

"Mr. Bozeli, Mr. Stone is on the phone for you, he says it is urgent."

"ugh, what the hell Nico." he whispered while sliding out of the booth.
