UNTIL I MET YOU : CHAPTER 221 – 230
The elevator dings and slides open. With her in my arms and legs around my waist, I walk us out of the elevator and open the penthouse door. I walk in with her and shut the door.
She looks around the house and widens her eyes. She hops out of my grasp and glances at every single thing.
“Wow,” she mutters as she walks to the kitchen.
“You bought a new penthouse? Why would you do that?”
I shrug and watch her ogle at every piece of furniture.
“This is so beautiful and expensive,” she says and walks to the hallway. She opens each door and enters the last door.
I follow her behind as she looks around the bedroom. She pushes aside the drapes of the floor-to-ceiling transparent window, and she giggles.
“So what’s gonna happen to your other penthouse?” she asks and opens the door to the balcony.
“You like it?” I ask her.
She turns around and looks at me with a big smile.
“Yes. I love it.” She giggles and looks around the bedroom again.
“Then it’s yours.”
She pauses her stares and darts her head to me.
“You say what?”
“The penthouse is yours.”
“No way, Jamal. This is too much,” I tell him and look around. I can’t believe he bought me a house. I mean, it’s beautiful and obviously expensive. He has done a lot, and I really can’t take it.
“Nothing is too much for you, baby.” He kisses my temple and wraps his arms around my waist.
“But Gray, this is expensive. A penthouse?”
“If you don’t want it, you can just move in with me. You want that?” he asks and turns me around so that I’m looking at him.
“No way. You know I can’t move in with you.”
“Exactly. Reasons I bought you this apartment. You’ve always wanted space and your own apartment. I had to make that wish come true. You have your own place now.”
I smile and wrap my arms around his torso and hug him. His right hand rubs up and down my back as he kisses my temple.
“Thank you so much for everything. I don’t really know how to thank you.”
Gray chuckles. “It’s nothing. You deserve all of this. You’re mine, and I’m yours,” he whispers.
Wow, he’s mine, huh?
I pull my head away from his chest and look up at him.
“Talking about yours, I got you something.”
His eyes brighten as he smiles. I push him gently to sit on the white couch behind him as I sit on his lap. I pull out a silver chain from my hoodie pockets and raise it up to his beautiful face. He smiles and bites his bottom lip.
“I’ve been thinking your neck is quite empty sometimes. Since I’m your Tinkerbell, and you’re my Jamal, you deserve this. I know it’s little compared to…” I roll my eyes around the penthouse. “…this. Actually, it cost you millions, I know… and—”
He cuts me short as he kisses me with one arm around my waist.
I am dumbfounded and speechless as I kiss back. We pull apart to stare at each other as he looks down at the necklace in my hand. He holds the chain and smiles at it. It’s customized, and “Jamal” is written on it in really tiny letters.
“You like it?” I ask him.
“Fuck me, yeah. It’s beautiful. I never actually thought of wearing one,” he says and looks up at me.
“If you feel uncomfortable with it, then maybe you shouldn’t—”
“Shut up.” He smiles and kisses my cheek. “Now I want you to wear me.”
I take a deep breath and nod. I unhook the loop and put it around Gray’s neck. I hold the chain around his neck and smile.
