We are at my place. My face glistening due to my phone as I stared longer waiting for something to pop up but it's nothing
Chloe is sipping her vodka, laughing at some internet memes. I should dump her in the garbage for being no use in this situation
She literally forced me to send this to him
"I ๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐" To see if he will make up time for me Or not and now she is drinking like nothing happened and nothing is going to happen not in million years
Scrunching her face she stared at the screen and then burst out laughing like a hyena, I cringed at her and cleared my throat clearly wanting her attention and it worked she turned her head towards me with a expression of what do you need
And that was the end of my patience. I fucking stood up and fist her bun which cause it to open not that I mind
I dragged her towards the bathroom turned the tap of the bathtub on and waited for it fill up
I ignored her cries, whines and all the curse words she is spitting at me well for now cause I am seriously in the mood to drown her to the tip of death
After all that worry and cries for me, she decided to chill out like nothing happened
Her emerald eyes looking at me with so much innocence but I definitely know the devil inside is on the verge of laughing and so much confident that I will melt in those innocent eyes
She got a hold of my hair somehow after struggling a lot "๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐ฌ๐๐ก๐ก ๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐ค๐ค" She threatens gripping my hairs tightly in her fist
Fuck I know I can't win against her but it's not like I am going to back down
We stopped our fight when a sound came from my phone making us look at it like we have seen some ghost
We ran and checked it only to make me smile "๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ข ๐๐๐" chole eyes stuck to the screen as she slowly turned towards me and said "๐จ๐๐๐ข๐จ ๐ก๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ ๐ฅ๐๐จ๐จ๐๐ ๐๐ช๐ฉ ๐ ๐๐ข ๐ฃ๐ค๐ฉ ๐๐ค๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐จ๐ฎ" I rolled my eyes at her response and begin to reply him

Chlor is staring at the screen with tons of expression on her face maybe she is trying to figure out if he is making excuse or not
Well I leave this work to her and begin to think of how to start a conversation when his reply came

The killen's is the really famous, its a 3 floor mall with a canteen and movie theatre perfect for couples and on the top of that the new stock of clothes, shoes, bags and heels just came today and people are hyping up because of that. Posting on the internet and those looks are damn good. chloe and i had decided to visit there today but since chloe had to visit her mom as she is sick so chloe cancelled atfirst it made me mad but not anymore
"๐๐๐๐ ๐ค๐ช๐ฉ ๐๐ฃ ๐ฃ๐๐๐ ๐ค๐ช๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐ค๐ง ๐ข๐" I say turning my head towards her and she looked at me with a smile "๐๐ค๐๐๐ง ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ" She stood up and went through my clothes searching for a nice outfit, it took the hell of a time for her but she bring out some outfits and i tried it one by one
I came out wearing the first outfit, it was my off white crop top with the black pencil skirt which I bought in the last Christmas with her honestly saying it looks good and will look much more better with open hairs and a jacket will do more good and seeing her expression she guessed my query
"๐๐ช๐ฅ ๐๐ฉ ๐ฌ๐๐ก๐ก ๐ก๐ค๐ค๐ ๐๐ค๐ค๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ฉ๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐ก๐๐๐ ๐ก๐๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ง ๐ค๐ฃ๐"
People are good at reading gestures unlike me who will think for a thousand times before answering
"๐๐ค๐ฌ ๐๐๐ค๐ช๐ฉ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช๐ง ๐๐๐๐ง๐จ" She took a long pause thinking or maybe playing tug of wars inside her head "๐ ๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐ฉ ๐ค๐ฅ๐๐ฃ" She finally spoke and i released my breath
"๐๐๐ฎ ๐๐ฉ ๐๐๐จ๐ฉ" I look at myself in the mirror judging the outfit, thinking of adding some details "๐๐ค๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ ๐ค๐๐จ๐๐ง๐ซ๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐๐๐ง๐จ๐ฉ ๐๐๐ง๐ก๐๐ฃ๐" She slapped my ass and i ignored it
She went through my drawers where I put my makeup and some accessories which I rarely wear these days as no occasion is coming nor any weddings
"๐๐ช๐จ๐ฉ๐ฎ ๐ง๐ค๐จ๐ ๐ก๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฃ๐ค๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ก๐จ๐"
She hand me the lipstick and layed on my bed "๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐จ๐ช๐ง๐ ๐ ๐ฌ๐ค๐ฃ'๐ฉ ๐ฃ๐๐๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ก๐จ๐" I say looking at the lipstick and then at my reflection in the mirror
"๐๐๐ ๐๐ฉ'๐จ ๐๐ฃ๐ค๐ช๐๐" She closed her eyes going into her Dreamland and i decided to took a nap too
I woke up, turned my head towards the clock to see the time and i got a shock it's freaking 2:40 fuck I need to get ready in 20 minutes
Well not much of a bother cause I gotta just wash my face quick and apply the lipstick and maybe do something about my hairs too
I woke her up and she gave me a i'll kill you bitch for disturbing my sweet sleep,like I care for now I need to get ready as soon as possible
She got serious as soon as she saw the time and that was a relief for now only. She got me ready in less than 10 minutes and i freaking loved the outfit and the way I looked
"๐๐๐ง๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐๐ค" She sat on the bed tired after this workout. My phone rang and it was Daniel
It was around 2:55 now so he must be here to pick me up damn he is faster than I expected
I pick up the phone, keeping it at speaker
"๐๐๐ก๐ก๐ค" I say waiting for him to reply and he did right away
"๐ ๐๐ข ๐๐ฉ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช๐ง ๐ฅ๐ก๐๐๐ ๐จ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐"
Cute like hella damn cute, the way he called me sweetie made me smile and Chloe gave me teasing smile after seeing my reaction
"๐'๐ก๐ก ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ง๐" Giving a short reply I hung up
"๐๐ฌ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐" She mimicked his voice and I glared at her
"๐ ๐๐ค๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ ๐๐ค" I say not waiting for her reply and ran towards the front door, while going the walls and everything reminded me of our last night God I gotta stop thinking about rhat
I took a deep breath before opening the door
And there he was looking handsome as always, it seems like I am not the only one who put effort in my looks
He had a bouquet of roses in his right hand and was looking at his wrist watch maybe seeing the time and waiting for me
He wore a navy blue shirt with black jeans, his hairs undone which are covering his forehead and honestly that looks great
He looked like a whole damn meal and i don't mind devouring him, he turned his head towards me as soon as he heard the door opening
His piercing gaze stuck on me as he examined me top to bottom, I would lie if I say I wasn't satisfied by his expressions and blushed like crazy
๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ถ๐ฒ๐น ๐ฝ๐ผ๐
There she was looking gorgeous, I wanted to remember every single details of how her dress curves her body, her eyes staring at my figure trying to suppress her urges, her hands tightly gripped on her hand bag damn I wish they grip onto me instead, the way her eyes travelling across my body and then her eyes meet mine and she realized what she has been fucking doing. As soon as the realization hit her she averted her gaze to the ground with a pink tint on her cheeks, a smile formed on face
Well not that I mind, I like seeing this side of my women and it's my honour that she shows this side to me only
She walk towards me with her slow steps, my eyes stuck on her making her a little nervous but still I didn't avert my gaze
I would like to see her flustered by my gaze and for sure her friend is going to think I am a psycho by the way she is looking at me staring at her friend
I ignored her focusing my attention on my women who stood in front of me
I extend my hands towards her face and grip her chin lightly, gently made her look towards me, god knows how much I loved her reaction. Her eyes meet mine, cheeks flushed pink forming a warm smile on my face. I leaned and placed a peck on her forehead calming her down
I hand her the bouquet, she hold it, the smell hitting her nose making her smile. I was satisfied with it
I would want her to smile like this for the rest of our lifes for that I would bring her roses every time, every day till I am broke
"๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐จ" She smiled, I avert my gaze and we both sat on the car plugging the seatbelts we went off to our destination
While driving I notice how pretty ger smile was as she look at the roses
"๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ก๐ก๐๐ฃ๐จ ๐๐จ ๐ฃ๐ค๐ฉ ๐ฅ๐ง๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฎ ๐๐๐ง ๐๐ง๐ค๐ข ๐๐๐ง๐ ๐ง๐๐๐๐ฉ"
I say, starting a conversation. She looked at me but i focused on the road "๐ฎ๐๐จ ๐๐ฉ'๐จ ๐ฃ๐ค๐ฉ ๐๐๐ง, ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ฃ๐๐ฌ ๐๐ค๐ก๐ก๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ ๐๐จ ๐๐ช๐จ๐ฉ ๐๐ข๐๐ฏ๐๐ฃ๐" She squealed in happiness and that was adorable
I coughed averting my eyes
"๐๐๐๐ก ๐๐ง๐๐ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐ฉ๐๐ก๐ก ๐ข๐ ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐ฌ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐ค ๐๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ก๐จ๐" I stopped the car as the signal is red now
"๐ฟ๐ค ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐จ๐ค๐ข๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ฃ ๐ข๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ค๐ฃ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฉ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐ฌ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐ช๐ฎ" I ask as she open her phone and showed me some pics well they aren't bad, some one pieces, party wear long dresses, shoes, purse "๐๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ก๐จ๐" I look at her as she starts to think. She is adorable,the eyes shirnk whenever she thinks deeply and I am sure she have never noticed this "๐๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ช๐๐๐ฉ ๐ข๐ฎ ๐๐ฎ๐" I hummed at her response
We reached the killens and just as I suspected no crowd at all, so that man really got ear and he does listens
Everything seems to confuse her and that only makes me smile "๐ ๐๐๐๐ฃ'๐ฉ ๐๐ญ๐ฅ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐จ, ๐๐ค๐ฃ'๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐๐ก๐ก ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐๐ค๐ค๐ ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ค๐ก๐ ๐ข๐๐ก๐ก" She laughed thinking her joke is funny "๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ค๐ค๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ฉ ๐๐ค๐ง ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ฃ๐๐ฃ๐" I smile at her and her smile dropped "๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐ช๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐๐ช๐จ๐ฉ ๐จ๐๐๐" She pretty much yelled, her eyes shrink again ok so when she thinks something deeply and looks someone with suspicion then her eyes shrink. Can she really see when she shrink it this much her eyes are almost closed "๐๐ค๐ฃ'๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ค๐ช๐ฉ ๐๐ฉ" She did what i said maybe this much is too much for her small brain to handle "๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐๐ง๐ ๐ง๐๐๐" She mumbled loud enough for me to hear "๐๐ ๐๐ฉ'๐จ ๐๐ค๐ง ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐ ๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐ซ๐๐ฃ ๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ค๐ ๐" I grinned at her and she avert her eyes not that I mind, I like to see her flustered
"๐๐๐๐ง๐ ๐จ๐๐ค๐ช๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐ ๐๐ค ๐๐๐ง๐จ๐ฉ" I ask as the staff came up to us "๐ฅ๐ช๐ง๐จ๐" She say, looking at me and I nodded letting the staff lead the way
The shopping went pretty much amazing seeing her try out dresses I pick for her was the best part
It was past 3:40 pm now, we should leave only if she listens. Right now we are eating ice-cream and she even ordered brownie "๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ช๐๐๐ฉ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐จ๐๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐ฌ๐๐ง๐ ๐ค๐ฃ ๐๐๐๐ฉ" I remind her, her own words "๐ช๐ข ๐ ๐ช๐ข ๐ฌ๐๐ก๐ก ๐ฌ๐ค๐ฃ'๐ฉ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐ก๐๐ ๐ ๐ข๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ข ๐๐๐ช๐๐๐ฎ" She avoided my question giving me her suspicious gaze
"๐๐ข๐ข ๐ก๐๐ฉ'๐จ ๐จ๐๐ ๐ข๐๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ฃ๐ค ๐ ๐ฌ๐ค๐ฃ'๐ฉ ๐ก๐๐ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช...." I took a pause to see her reaction as she dropped her spoon gulping the ice cream "๐...๐ ๐๐ข ๐๐ช๐ก๐ก" She took a tissue and wiped the corner of her mouth making me chuckle
I tool the spoon taking some ice cream and forwarded it towards her "๐ ๐ฌ๐ค๐ช๐ก๐ ๐ก๐ค๐ซ๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐๐๐๐๐ข๐ ๐๐๐ช๐๐๐ฎ" I noticed her expression, a red tint appeared on her face making me smile. She ate the ice cream and I handed her the spoon, letting her eat as much as she wants
My phone rang as I got a call from my brother, I pick it up and there he goes
"๐ผ๐ง๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐ ๐จ๐๐ค๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ฃ๐, ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ค๐ฅ๐ก๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ข๐๐ ๐ฃ๐ค๐ฌ, ๐ก๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐ง๐๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐ฌ๐๐ฎ" Hmm so it's almost time for us to leave now. Although the owner of killen's is my younger brother, he can't let me shop for years
The killen's is run by my brother killen walker, and he is a big shot in this field, if i be honest then he opened this company as a side business while he learn about our main company but this business took off and he got really great profit and at last he got permission from father to take care of this company as his main one
For the past 8 years this company is still a big shot
"๐๐๐ ๐ฌ๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ง๐" I say, I notice mew finished her ice cream and was all ready to leave
I cut the call, stood up letting the staff take our bags and we went off, she didn't say anything while leaving although she insisted on paying but I didn't let her
The staff put the bags on my car as we left and the killen's is again full with lots of people
"๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐จ ๐๐ค๐ง ๐ฉ๐ค๐๐๐ฎ" She say giving me a smile as I nodded "๐๐ค ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐ฌ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐ค ๐จ๐ค๐ข๐๐ฌ๐๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ก๐จ๐" Her eyes shirnk again as she begins to think. Sometimes I think I will die by her cuteness "๐ข๐๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ฃ๐๐ญ๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐๐ข๐" So there will be next time not that I mind, the thought of us hanging out, going on a date only excites me more "๐ ๐๐๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐๐ค๐ค๐จ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ฅ๐ก๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ" I say, imagining her all possible reactions to my suprises. She hummed and closed her eyes. She is indeed tired after all this shopping so I let her took a nap
After some time I reached her house and woke her up "๐๐๐ฎ ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐๐ฎ ๐ฌ๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ค๐ข๐" I slowly shrugged her as she open her eyes "๐๐ช๐ ๐....๐๐ค๐ฌ ๐ก๐ค๐ฃ๐ ๐ ๐จ๐ก๐๐ฅ๐ฉ" She blink to adjust her eyesight "15 ๐ข๐๐ฃ๐ช๐ฉ๐๐จ" I slowly unbuckle her seat belt
"๐ ๐ฅ๐ช๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐จ ๐ค๐ฃ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ก๐๐ซ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ง๐ค๐ค๐ข" I say, examining her reaction as she nodded. Last time she wanted me to kiss her now will there be nothing this time. I didn't see her expression change so I guess she is not thinking about kisses or whatever, maybe it's because she just woke up from nap
But it doesn't stop me if I want it then I will get it. I slowly caresses her face with my hand as I slowly lean in making her blush
I would lie if I say I don't like this sight
The red tint covered her face as she slowly understood what is happening. She is kinda slow but that only makes me like her more
I pressed my lips against her, moving my lips on her soft ones, she closed her eyes and moved her lips as well maching my pace. It was dreamy
She slowly circles her hands around my neck, I deepen the kiss but not for long. I still remember I have to go for the family gathering and everyone is waiting for me there. I pulled out letting her breath fuck how am I suppose to leave her when she looks this much cute while trying to catch her breath
I gather up the courage and avert my eyes from her "๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ก๐ก ๐๐ ๐๐ค๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฃ๐ค๐ฌ" I say and she just nodded, I kept my calm face as I drove off after she went inside her house. I can just imagine her gossiping all about this with her friend but that only makes me wonder does she goes into details about the kiss or our intimate moments
My phone rang again, it was killen again
I pressed the answer button "๐ฌ๐๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช?" He says giving me a sign that everyone is there "๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ก๐ค๐ฉ" I lied but I will be there in any minute now, it's not that far from her house. I heard him talking to my father I suppose he said he will get me
I speed up and reached there just as I was about to get off the car I saw killen running towards me
"๐ ๐๐ข ๐ฃ๐๐ซ๐๐ง ๐๐๐ก๐ฅ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐๐๐๐๐ฃ" He said catching his breath "๐๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐จ" I laughed if off as we both went to the elevator "๐ข๐ฎ ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐๐ ๐จ๐๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐ฌ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ฉ๐ ๐ ๐ฌ๐ค๐ข๐๐ฃ" Killen said making me look at him, I nodded
He looked at me shocked "๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐๐ง๐ ๐จ๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐จ๐ค๐ข๐๐ค๐ฃ๐" He yelled at me making me confuse "๐ฌ๐๐๐ฉ'๐จ ๐ฌ๐ง๐ค๐ฃ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ฉ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ" I ask as killen began to speak, he would never mind the fact of me seeing someone but by his reaction something is definitely going on and I have some idea of what is it but still want to hear it from him
"๐๐ฉ ๐ฌ๐๐จ ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ง'๐จ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ค๐ง ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐๐ข๐๐ก๐ฎ ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ง๐๐ฃ๐" I hummed letting him continue "๐๐๐๐ค๐ง๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ก๐ก๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ง ๐ฌ๐๐จ ๐ฉ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ค๐ช๐ฉ ๐๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐ข๐๐ง๐ง๐๐๐ ๐ฃ๐ค๐ฌ ๐๐จ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ค๐ก๐" I raised my eyebrows
"๐ ๐๐ข ๐ฃ๐ค๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ ๐ค๐ก๐" I cut him off but he still spoke "๐ ๐ ๐ฃ๐ค๐ฌ ๐ ๐ ๐ฃ๐ค๐ฌ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฃ๐ค๐ฉ ๐จ๐ค๐ข๐ ๐ค๐ก๐ ๐๐๐๐ฏ๐๐ง ๐๐ช๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฎ ๐ฌ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐จ ๐๐ง๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐๐ก๐๐ง๐๐ฃ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ฉ ๐จ๐๐๐ข๐จ ๐ก๐๐ ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฎ ๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐จ๐๐ก๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ ๐จ๐ค๐ข๐ ๐ฌ๐ค๐ข๐๐ฃ๐จ ๐๐จ ๐ฌ๐๐ก๐ก" This is a mess now, father is stubborn as hell and I know he won't listen to me and will get me married if I don't do something
Hell man should I tell them I am seeing someone........
