"They are beautiful. Thank you so much."I appreciated him as I kissed his cheek.
He smiled and opened the door for me and I got inside.
He walked around and got in also.
"Where are we going?"I asked him curiously.
"It's a surprise sweetheart."he said.
I pouted.
I don't like being kept in suspense.
"Please tell me please." I pleaded, looking at him with puppy eyes.
"Don't give me that look sweetheart. you will find out once we reached there."he said trying to ignore my pout.
I huffed and turn my head around crossing my arms.
He chuckled,
"We will reach shortly. You will find out soon."
I nodded and rubbed my hand with anticipation.
After about fifteen minutes drive.
"We have gotten to our destination, beautiful. Don't get out of the car until I tell you to." He instructed me.
He got out of the car and came to my side opening the door.
"Now I am going to close your eyes and we have to walk few steps till we reach there."
I looked up at him curiously,
"why do you have to close my eyes?"
"You will find out soon, beautiful."
He helped me out of car and covering my eyes with hands.
He guided me and we started walking to god knows where!
After walking few steps,
"we are here."he whispered and removed his hand from my eyes.
I blinked my eyes and looked at the scene set up front of me with widened eyes.
I gasped and looked at him.
He was staring down at me,
"Do you like it?"
"I love it! It is so so beautiful. How can I not like it?"I said as tears filled my eyes.
I have never been to a place as beautiful as this before.
I jumped in his arms, hugging him tightly.
He wrapped hands around me firmly.
"Don't cry baby,I want to make you smile not cry."
"I am just so happy. No one has done something like this for me."I said pulling out of his arms kissing both of his cheeks and thanked him again and again.
"Stop thanking me sweetheart. You deserve much more than this. Now let's get some delicious food, shall we?"
I nodded smiling at him.
He held my hand and walked me to our table before pulling out a chair for me.
I thanked him and sat down.
He sat down in front of me.
He clapped his hands and a waiter came out holding two plates of steaming spaghetti and a bottle of wine.
We started eating as we got to know more about each other.
"How many members are there in your family?"I asked.
"Six members including me, my mom and dad, my elder sister and younger brother.My niece also live with my family because her parents got killed in a car accident so we decided to take her in. My family does not live with me but they live in this city. I visit them as much as I can."he said smiling.
I smiled at him.
"What about your family?"
I smiled sadly looking down at my plate, twirling fork.
"My mom died when I was twelve years old. My stepfather and I were living life decently until he changed all of a sudden. He started hating me and abusing me saying that I was a cursed child and I was sent to kill my mother and him also."I said sniffing and controlling my tears.
Alessandro held my hand and started rubbing it with his thumb gently.
"It got to a time that I couldn't bear it anymore so I ran away from my home. Christina offered to share her apartment with me and suggested to apply for job at the cafe. She knows about my stepfather abuse from the start, we are best friends from long time. I got a job at the cafe and till now things are settled. I never heard anything from my stepdad, I think he didn't care enough. I am forever thankful to Christina."I said smiling softly.
He caressed my cheek and smiled,
"You will have me no matter what from now on."
"Thank you."I said smiling greatfully at him.
"Now let's have some dessert."
We enjoyed our dessert as we talked some more.
"After finishing our dessert, I want to show you something."
"What?"
"You will find out"
Alessandro and surprises.
We finished our dessert and he got up holding out his hand for me.
"Let's go."he said.
I got up taking his hand and we started walking.
After walking for a bit, we reached to see beautiful small bridge with small stream.
"It looks amazing." I said, looking at him.
He smiled and started walking, holding my hand as he pulled me with him.
We reached the middle of bridge and silently watched the stream, enjoying the pleasing air.
I felt his hand caressing my cheek softly.
"You are so beautiful."
I looked up at him turning slightly.
My cheeks tinted pink.
"You look handsome."I said shyly.
He grinned pulling me towards him with my waist.
He leaned his head against me.
"Sweetheart, can I kiss you?"he whispered huskily.
My eyes widened and I blushed hard.
I nodded slightly, giving him permission.
He wasted no time and placed his lips against mine.
Our lips moulded together as his arms tightened around my waist.
I wrapped my arms around his neck.
We kissed passionately as he swept his tongue on my bottom lip asking for entrance.
I granted his request and his tongue enters into my mouth.
His tongue explored each corner of my mouth, kissing me with passion.
I moaned softly but he heard it.
"Fvck!"he cursed.
