A Promise To The Beloved (Completed)

43. He's back...

" I am sure he will." Lilly affirmed smiling at how nervous the big business tycoon was looking at the moment. She couldn't believe how marvelously innocent he was.
"But wait! Where is my gift?" she questioned.

"Why do you want a gift?"

"You got mad at me too yesterday."

"Still Mrs King, why would you need a gift when you have me." he winked at her and she laughed.

"I would still expect a gift from you."

"Then how about I give you your gift right here right now?"

Lilly looked at him confused as to what his words really meant. He pulled her from her and she collided with his hard chest. Holding her chin he took her lips in a deep kiss.

"Ashton!" Lilly called him in an admonishing voice as her cheeks went red from the embarrassment while her eyes went to and fro from driver to Ashton.

"Don't worry. We can even make out here in the backseat and he won't listen." Ashton smirked. Even if he listens he would ignore, he added silently.

"Ashton stop it!"  she almost screamed from the embarrassment.

"He is using earbuds and is busy listening to his songs and won't notice anything." He smiled mischievously looking at her.

"Ashton-"

"But I don't want anyone else to see your sweet reactions because only I have the right to that. This car doesn't have a privacy shield so I won't do it here. Maybe we can try it out in another car of mine." Lilly looked at him in disbelief as he busied himself in his future make out plans. "We can do it while returning from a party. No wait, you will be tired by then maybe we can do it while on our way to party."

Lilly looked at him in shock. "Ashton are you serious?"

"Yes, of course. You asked me for a gift just now so I need to think of the best one."

"This sounds more like a gift to yourself."

"Really?" he asked raising a brow. ''Don't lie, sweetheart. I know you are equally thrilled about it."

It sounded like a scene from one of the young adult romance she had read back in her teenage years and she had always wondered how making out in the backseat of a car would feel like, she silently acknowledged but she still wasn't going to tell him about it.

"I wonder what other fantasies you have created in your head, Mr King."

"Well, quite a many, my beautiful Mrs king and they all have you in them." He smiled devilishly as he placed a kiss on her forehead.

She laughed. She was happy that now he was back to normal. The teasing Ashton, the one who laughs and smiles. She like him like that.
As the car stopped in front of the villa Lilly and Ashton got out of the car. Before she could enter the house Ashton stopped her by holding her waist and pushed the carry back towards her.

"Give this to Sam and say that Ashton had no intention of scaring him yesterday."

"But why would I do that? It wasn't me who scared him."

"Yes, I know. But I don't know how to deal with kids. I have never been around children much less a toddler who doesn't even speak the normal human language. I would have been completely at loss if you weren't there for Sam and me. So I want you to act as a mediator."

Lilly had wanted to laugh seeing him so nervous about this but she controlled her laughter and donned a serious face. ''You would need to do this on your own, Ashton." She patted on his shoulder as she said, " I am sure Sam will understand you."

"You think so?" he asked looking at her hopefully.

"Yes, of course. He is a very smart kid because he has taken after me." She said   proudly making Ashton chuckle.

" I am still worried."

"Just go to him and tell him that you had no intention of scaring him yesterday and you would never do that again. Also tell him that you are sorry for what happened yesterday."

He gave her a doubtful look as he asked, "Do you think he would understand that? He is just a toddler so what you are saying is quite unbelievable."

''He is an intelligent toddler, Mr King. So he would understand. Trust me." Lilly tried to give him her best confident smile.

"Are you sure?"

"110% sure." she affirmed.

"Look, the language Sam speaks is really different. I do not understand a thing he says while you understand his each and every incomprehensible word. Sometimes, I worry myself thinking that he would say something bad about me and that he doesn't like me. That little one speaks a completely different tone."

Lilly almost laughed at that but looking at the intense situation she tried to keep that emotion in check. He looked so confused and clueless about Sam. He really had no idea about kids, she realised. He was so easily believing her each and every word about the toddler. Now she felt bad about not telling him earlier that Sam is just a child who won't even remember what happened yesterday but now that she had already started that she couldn't go back on her words.
Pushing the carryback towards back at him she said, ''Go and give him this toy and say that you are sorry for yesterday. And then bringing your pinky finger in front of him make a promise that you would never do that again."

"He makes pinky promises?" He asked  frowning.

"Of course, he does." Lilly lied  confidently.

''Pinky promises are old-fashioned." Ashton complaint.

"Whatever. Just go and do your best." she said holding his shoulders as she pushed him into the house.

Grace greeted the couple as they entered the villa.
"Where is Sam?" Ashton asked.
