Love is Patience

Chapter twenty two

Rose's POV

I found myself wandering through a scenic garden, each row adorned with a mesmerizing array of lilies, sunflowers, and roses of various hues—purple, pink, bright yellow, white, and even black. Black is rare. Among them stood my favorite: the radiant red roses, abundant and captivating. Enveloped in their fragrant embrace, I reveled in their beauty, acknowledging the presence of thorns as an inevitable part of their allure.

As I meandered deeper into the garden, the orderly rows gradually morphed into a bewildering maze of towering grass walls, confounding my senses. Despite my efforts to navigate the maze, I found myself  ensnared in its intricate pathways, turning this way and that in search of an escape.

Suddenly, a familiar voice echoed through the maze, calling my name. With a sense of urgency, I followed the sound, navigating through a series of lefts and rights until I emerged into a clearing, where I was greeted by the sight of deep blue eyes—Adrian's eyes—awaiting for me with open arms.

Overwhelmed with relief, I rushed into Adrian's embrace, thanking him profusely for rescuing me from the maze. Adrian, with a tender smile, pressed a gentle kiss to my forehead, assuring me, "I will always save you."

As we stood there, mere inches apart, Adrian's voice softened as he confessed his affection for me, expressing his deep fondness. My heart raced with emotion as he leaned in, our lips almost touching, their unspoken feelings hanging in the air like delicate petals. And I don't stop him this time.

Beep beep beep beep beep...

Glaring my alarm I shut it. Stupid alarm. What a beautiful dream for the first time I was having. Adrian was about to kiss me. I cuddle with my pillow blushing hard on the thought of Adrian touching me intimately. I have always liked his presence around me, he has an intimidating aura with a charm of handsomeness that can pull anyone to him. His presence demands attention and he is the one who has the ultimate power in the room. And now that he has confessed about liking me it is becoming very difficult for me stay away from him, he is so irresistible. He is like a magnet, his musky fragrance always pulls me into him.

I miss him. It's been two days he's in London for a business trip. When I left his cabin not before whispering in his ear that I know he won't kill Michelle, he let me go and didn't bother me for the whole day. And on the same night when a gift arrived at my doorstep I was shocked. Adrian has send me a new iPhone with yet another mesmerizing rose. When I called him to give an earful, he just dismissed me by saying 'we'll discuss this later.' and told me about his sudden trip to London for three days and will be returning on the Matteo's proposal day that is Sunday, that means tomorrow.

Tomorrow is a big day for Matteo and Isabelle. She doesn't know what's gonna happen tomorrow, so she called me up to invite for lunch at yacht with Adrian, Tony and Marco. She loves to talk, we had our conversation for about an hour almost. She told me what she is gifting Matteo and what all dresses she has tried just look gorgeous for the lunch. She loves shopping and is very much pampered child of her parents. Her father is some London's millionaire family. I am so happy for her, she will really get surprised tomorrow cuz she is not expecting Matteo to marry her this soon.

I have done all the arrangements on the yacht. I have seen pictures of it and explained the decorates to keep it simple yet beautiful. She loves orchids and ponies, so both flowers will be adorning the place. I have ordered the best champagne and on special request from Matteo, the chef for the day is coming all way from Sicily for the lunch. He was confused on buying the ring, he send me few of the pictures as he needed some second opinion. I told him my three personal favourites of them and he selected one them.
