"And I found it, I found love,"
The kiss between them was brief but filled with intense emotion. As their lips met, a rush of warmth and affection enveloped them both. Nia could feel the softness of Theo's lips against hers, a gentle and tender touch that conveyed his deep love for her.
"I love you darling, so freaking much." His words lingered in the air, filled with sincerity, affection and reassurance.
"I love you too Theo," He leaned in, planting a tender kiss on her lips, savoring the bittersweet taste.
Nia, however, gently leaned away from him, her curiosity piqued. With a quizzical raise of her eyebrows, she couldn't help but voice her thoughts. "So why is Lisa here?"
A soft chuckle escaped Theodore's lips, his amusement evident.
Sensing the need to explain, he cleared his throat before responding. "Lisa is currently involved in a campaign, and she reached out to me for support, so I helped her. Unfortunately, I wasn't aware that Josey, one of my assistants, had extended an invitation to the Vera campaign. As for my mother, she understands that it's purely business, so she's not overly upset about it."
"So why does your mother dislike her?" she asked, as her curiosity only grew stronger, and she couldn't resist delving deeper into the matter.
"It's a long story," he replied, realizing that the story was a complex one if he were to tell it.
"I have all night,"
"I'll tell you after the party, or on our way home. I promise," He replies, releasing her from his embrace and he stood up.
With a smile, he extends his hand towards her.
Nia sighed, her tired feet reminding her of the long night ahead. "Does that also include a foot rub?" she playfully inquired, hoping to lighten the mood.
Theodore couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle. The love and affection in his eyes were evident as he looked at her.
"Yes, my love, anything for you," he said with a smile.
As they made their way back into the party, Mrs. Knocks appeared to be preparing to give a toast. Theodore spotted two glasses of champagne on a nearby table and swiftly grabbed them, making sure to pass one to Nia. Their fingers brushed against each other, and their eyes locked for a second before they turned their attention back to Mrs. Knocks.
"Merry Christmas, everyone, lets cheers to another year of fulfillment and happiness," The sound of clinking glasses filled the air as everyone joined in the cheerful celebration.
Theodore's gaze never wavered from Nia, his eyes filled with adoration as she turned to face him. "Cheers, Nia," he said softly, his voice filled with warmth and affection, clinking his glass against hers.
