~~ 57. ~~

"Yeah, it was. You were amazing." He commented and she pouted, looking flushed.

"Why did you... You know..." She shrugged, hoping he understood what she meant.

"You are still not used to talking bluntly about sex? You can talk dirty with me, I don't mind." His lip tugged up to a small smile.

Lola shakes her head in puzzlement. There were things she still didn't know about Demilade.

"Well, it's a surprise that you are good at talking dirty Demilade." She replied.

He smirked. "What's there to be shy about?" He shrugged. "As long as it is with my woman. And to answer your question. We've got all the time." He pulled her closer. "Let's take it a bit slow and enjoy the moment."

She smiled nodding. "That's sweet." And he returned the smile.

"Moreover, the manual sex was damn good. The way you react, that look... I had never had such..." He was cut short when Lola cover his mouth with her hand. He quirks a brow at her.

She laughed. "That's enough. You sure talk dirty. I feel the same way. You don't have to spell it out."

"Okay." He replied holding back his laughter and she take her hand down.

"You are staying with me all day right?" She asked again to be sure.

"Yes. I am." He answered in a very assuring tone.

"Great!" She exclaimed. "But first, I have to take care of the room and go help Helen prepare something for everyone to eat. You should also go take your bath."

"Sure." He agreed.

"One more thing. You promised me you will try out breakfast. Do you want to start today?"

He shakes his head. He realized she won't give up on the idea of eating breakfast. So he decided to give it a try, just for her.

"Fine. I will try today. But don't expect so much."

"Thanks. And it's fine. I just want you to try. A forest doesn't grow in a day." She said smiling from ear to ear. And she was about to move away when he stopped her, pulling her back close to him. His hands were intertwined at her back, on the small of her waist.

"One more thing." She quirks her brow, curious. He bit his lower lip sucking it in before he spoke up. "I didn't get to ask you properly yesterday. Will you be my girlfriend for real this time?"

She felt her face flush and her heart beating so fast. And the excitement was brewing inside of her. He had actually asked her out properly. It was no more a deal. She buried her face in his chest to hide her excitement and the hot tears pooling at the back of her eyes.

He did ask me out. He asks me out. She told herself internally over and over again.

Demilade said nothing but just looked down at Lola's head that was buried in his chest. She wasn't saying anything and he wondered why.

"Lola, what is it? Did I say anything wrong?" She shakes her head at his chest. "I do mean what I said. I want us to be official. No more deals or contracts. We can be real this time."

She slowly raised her head and looked at his face. She grinned with her eyes glassy with tears.

"I love that too. And yes, I want to be your girlfriend." He said nothing but just nodded in relief before pulling her into a tight embrace. And he heard her sniffling.

He can't believe it's actually happening. She was now his girlfriend. There wasn't any more lie. No more being fake or contract. It was real. No more secret feelings. He can now say his feelings out loud. He can have her when he wants.
