DESTINED TO LOVE
EPISODE 26
Emma’s POV.
1 week later.
“Emma! You are going to be late.” I heard Kate from the other side of the door.
“I’m just coming…” I rinsed my hair.
“Hurry up! Only half an hour is left.”
“Okay! Just coming.” I yelled back.
Come on! Can’t you wait for a sec…
I turned off the tap and put on my robe, wrap my hair in a towel and stepped out.
“Sit down. I’m going to do your make up.” Kate pushed me in front of the mirror and made me sit there.
“Makeup? No! I’m not gonna wear any makeup.” I argued. No! I’m not
gonna wear any makeup. No way…
Not at all!!!
“Oh for crying out loud! Stop arguing and let the makeup queen do her work. I bet he’s gonna blow up his control once he gets his eyes on you.” Kate smirked and I might say, that smirk was a scary one.
“No Kate! Please. I shouldn’t have told you about that.” I huffed.
Why I even told her about this? Well,
you needed an advice idiot…
Right…
“You don’t know how long I’ve been waiting for this moment. And after a year, it’s finally becoming true. Yay! I finally get to do a makeover of you.” She grinned while drying my hair and then rolling them.
“You had really been very stubborn. Making him wait for this long. I can’t imagine how he would have kept himself in control…” Kate chuckled.
“After 2 months, you finally agreed. You finally let your feelings lead you. I’m glad you.” She smiled and finished my curls.
Two months have been passed since that day when he first bumped into me, since our first encounter and then there is the day when I started working for him, I must add
forcefully . But the little scenario that we had last week, in which I kind of blurted out those words. I finally decided to follow my feelings. I decided to put this whatever thing we had to test. To test whether it’s gonna be a success or a complete breakdown. But now I’m not gonna step back, I’m ready to go for it.
“Let me look.” I tried to look in the mirror but before I could see, Kate placed a curtain on it.
“Ah… No. Not now.” She giggled and started applying a little base on my face.
“You aren’t making me a monster. Are you?” I chuckled.
“Oh yes! A delicious, sexy monster. And believe me, he won’t be able to hold himself back tonight.” Kate looked proud but I shivered at this thought.
“Calm down! It will be fun.”
“Shut up Kate! Or else I’m not going.” I tried to give him a glare but failed miserably.
Kate laughed. “Do you really think he would let you go that easily? After making him wait for this much. Do you think you can back away now?” There it is again, that smirk of her.
My cheeks warmed up. I knew now, I can’t back away and I don’t wanna… I’m ready. I’m going to teach my heart to love again. I’m not stepping back now.
“Here, I’m done with your base. Now a little eyeshade and a pink lipstick.” She took out the things from her drawer. “Uh! No, a red lipstick will do.” Kate took it out.
I was sitting right now in front of the mirror in Kate’s room. I didn’t have anything for a makeover. So, Kate insisted me that she would take care of my make up. And here I am stuck and having a makeover.
“They’re done!” Finally after half an hour… She had let me go.
“Now, go get dressed.” She pushed me into my room.
I put on my white and blue dress. It had a beautiful design on it. It was made of glittering net, giving the dress a little sparkle. It fits me perfectly, showing my curves. My shoulders bare and the dress reached till my knees.
It was a bit revealing, to which I wasn’t used to but Kate insisted me to buy it. I argued but in the end, she won the battle. So, I ended up buying it and now I’m wearing it.
“Are you ready?” Kate knocked and I replied with a yes.
I put on my blue heels. My legs bare. I grabbed my clutch and put the lipstick, some tissues and my phone in it.
“Oh my God!” I looked at Kate. Her mouth open and eyes wide.
“What? Is something wrong?” I asked concerned.
“You look breathtaking. I’m sure he won’t be able to take his hands off you.” My cheeks heat up. Thousands of butterflies invaded my stomach.
“Shut up!” I averted my eyes from her grinning face.
The doorbell rang.
“Oh! Looks like lover boy is here….” Kate giggled. I grab my coat and with a heart filled with different emotions, I headed towards the door.
Thousands of thoughts crossing my mind.
What will be his reaction? Will he like
me this way? What will he be
wearing? And many many more
questions, jumbling in my mind.
I opened the door and then my breath hitched at the sight of the very same person standing in front of me. He was standing there in full glory. Looking handsome and sexy. He was wearing a black suit as usual. The shirt white.
Our gaze met. His eyes shifted from my eyes to my body.
“You look beautiful,” Edan commented and I felt my cheeks warm up.
“You too.” Before I could shut my mouth the words escaped my big snotty mouth.
“Uuuh… I mean handsome. Y-You, look handsome.” I flushed. D–n it!!!!
Control it, Emma!
What is wrong with you? Snap out!
Edan chuckled and handed me a bouquet of white and red roses.
My heart filled with emotions, heavy emotions. My heart raced up. No one has ever affected me in this way. This mere gentle action from Edan just made my heart flutter.
“Thank you. They are beautiful. I love them.” I found my voice and replied.
“Don’t know which ones your favorite… So, I just kind of picked them up.” Edan smiled.
“I love them. Thank you.” I thanked him for the second time.
“Shall we?” He asked me just like a gentleman. So, unlike Edan!! I smiled at him and we went towards his car.
He started the car and the engine came alive. I remained silent for the whole time.
I wasn’t sure what to say. My heart was beating by his mere presence. His car smells of him. I love the smell of his cologne. I love his presence.
Emma! Snap out. What are you
thinking… Uhhh! I’m behaving like an
idiot.
The car came to a halt in front of a five-star restaurant.
“We’re here,” Edan spoke and I simply nodded.
I stepped outside the car and so did Edan.
“Names please?” A girl with blonde hair tied in a bun and wearing a black and white uniform like skirt inquired. Her eyes on the list.
“Edan Wilton,” Edan said in a firm tone.
In an instant, her head shot up and it seems like she was gonna faint. Her face got pale on meeting her eyes with Edan.
“I-I’m s-so s-sorr-rry s-sirr. I-I didn’t realize i-it w-was you-u…” Her lips quivered.
Edan only nodded and without giving her a second glance. He grabbed my hand and went inside.
I was still confused by that little scenario that just happened a while ago.
Why was that girl so scared? How did
she know him?
Idiot. He is a well-known billionaire…
Everyone knows about him. It was
you dumb, that had never heard of
him.
Well, that’s true. I wasn’t too much in gossips.
My eyes widen by the beauty that the restaurant holds. A big chandelier hanging in the center of the hall. The floor fully carpeted. Everyone busy in their own little world.
I felt his arm encircled around my waist. His touch warm and I could feel his warmth on my skin despite the presence of the fabric of my dress. I could feel my cheeks burning up.
Why is he affecting me this way???
This feeling cannot be defined. It’s
indescribable…
“Mr. Wilton. This way please.” A waiter said and we followed him.
He led us to a seat near a big window. The window reflecting the peaceful night outside.
Edan let go of me and we sat down, facing each other.
“What will you order?” The same boy asked. After taking our order, he nodded and left us.
“Emma!” I looked into his eyes.
“Hmm?” I hummed.
“You… You had made me speechless.” I furrowed my eyebrows at his words.
“Speechless? For what?” I questioned.
His hand rested on mine, which was placed on the table. His fingers intertwined with mine. My hand looked small and delicate in his. I was surprised at how our hands fit perfectly. It feels like they were meant for each other. Strange…. Or crazy…
Right?
“You look really beautiful, gorgeous. I have never seen you in make up before.” I blushed at his remark.
“Well, Kate kind of forced me to put makeup. It was not my idea. It’s the first time I had wore it.” I replied softly. This is so unlike me… I’m
acting like a madly in love girl.
Blushing and talking softly. Trying to
impress him.
What? Seriously! Impress him. Idiot
Emma…
“Well, I’m really flattered to know that you had done it for me. To make me impressed.” He smirked.
What the hell!!! Did I say it aloud? Or
had he read my mind?
“Dream on. Why would I want to impress some jerk like you!” I rolled my eyes, trying to hide my smile.
I heard him chuckle.
“So, we are back to jerk? Well, let me tell you. This jerk is madly in love with a stubborn girl. A stubborn but a beautiful girl.” His eyes locked in mine. I could sense sincerity in his every word.
I couldn’t help but smile at his word. He really knows how to make me smile. He knows how to love someone. Maybe this time I’ll not end
up broken. Maybe I could find love…
Maybe we were destined to meet on
that day…
I smiled at the thought.
Edan! You are really something…
“Care to tell me, why are you smiling? It’s not that I didn’t like it… I just love your smile. Is it me you are thinking about?” He smirked again.
My cheeks warm up and couldn’t help but to grin like a silly little girl. I dug my head down into my hair.
“Looks like I was right.” He chuckled and I couldn’t meet his eyes. I was shy… For god sake… I don’t know
where this shyness came from???
This is so unlike me…
“Emma! You are something special. I don’t know if it was the love at first sight or something else. The day I led my eyes on you. I knew right then that I want you.” He lifted my chin and my eyes met with his.
“Thank you for everything. For letting me love you. For believing in me. For this…” He kissed me on the bridge of my nose.
I could only smile in response.
The remaining evening was spent in a normal way. Edan made me smile, made me laugh. He cracked some jokes and I was really enjoying his company.
It was the best evening I ever had. It was the time that I never wanted to end.
I came to know that the restaurant was of Edan’s. No doubt the poor girl was scared to see her big boss…
With me, he is a totally changed person. He is a cold, ruthless, arrogant boss towards his employees but with me, he is the complete opposite person. Loving, caring, gentle and kind. He makes me feel like I’m special.
I had a firm belief that I wouldn’t
regret this decision…
I was standing in front of my apartment. Edan in front of me.
“Close your eyes,” Edan said huskily.
“Why? Are you gonna kiss me?” As soon as those words left my mouth I regretted. S–t… I blurted out.
Edan chuckled.
“I don’t think there’s any need for you to close your eyes at that time. Because I will kiss you senselessly whether you close your eyes or not.” He whispered seductively in my ear. My body shivered. He kissed my sensitive spot behind the ear.
“Now close ’em.”
I closed my eyes. I felt something cold around my neck.
“Open ’em.” I opened and gasped at the necklace around my neck.
It was the same necklace that I had seen in the gift shop. A platinum heart shape necklace with a diamond in the center.
“Oh my God… Edan! I… I can’t take it. It’s really expensive.” I said admiring the beautiful little thing around my neck.
“It’s is meant for you. It is a gift that will remind you of our first date. It will remind you that you are only mine.” He held my hand and looked into my eyes.
You are mine… Mine… These words. I felt safe by hearing it from his mouth.
I stood on my tip toes and kissed him on his cheek.
“Thank you. I loved it.” His eyes widen and the next thing, his lips crashed on mine.
