Entwined

Chapter ten

Emily's pov

Arab guides me to a wooden bench situated in the garden and sat right after I did, leaving a 3inches space between us. I can almost feel His need to hold my hand and believe me I honestly don't know How I'm able to feel that but I went with what my heart was saying and gently let my fingers hover above his hand that was perched on the bench.

I placed my hand on his and watch a wide grin spread across his face before he softly held my hand.

I still can't believe I have this person to myself... Oh. my. fucking. God.

Few years ago this could only be one of my many day dreams that I swear would never come to pass, but here I am sitting beside the literal man of my dreams, Love of my life... My everything.

My goodness...I feel so lucky. I wish I could meet that other stalker I fought with at Arab's Inc. why!? So I could rub my present life on her face, Durr.

I know I sound cheesy and stupid asf but I'm just so stupidly in love I could jump down Arab's skyscraper company while screaming my heart out to him...

Okaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Maybe I'm getting a bit crazy.

But really though, I feel like the human Cinderella while he's my prince charming.... Wait, what if he doesn't feel the same!? Nah, he does. I see it in the way he looks at me, the way he touches me, what he says and in the way his eyes lits up whenever I'm smiling or laughing. He likes me too.

Right?

Right???????

"What'd you actually like about me?" I found myself asking in a small voice and I blinked in shock and tried to cover my embarrassment by filtering my words "uhm..I_i mean" I let out a nervous Laugh, snatching my hand away from his, frowning at How my nerves were picking up "w_we uhm we j_just met and__ you've been so__" Damn this beautifully hot man for making me stutter like a messed up teenager in love, he always does that.

"Everything!" He cuts me off almost desperately, making me stare directly at his eyes that swirl with different intense emotions.

"Huh?" Lost in his eyes that unapologetically drew me in, I couldn't recognize my voice as it came out above a whisper.

"Yeah, I.. I don't know what.. this is... but I know that.. I cherish and admire everything about you" He says, a slight pink color adorning his pale skin. Now that we are sitting in a very close proximity, I take in his features in a daze. I can see bits of freckles, barely noticeable but still there, scattered under his eyelids.

I can swear he didn't have freckles last night.

He averts his gaze for a few seconds before looking back at me with an intense gaze and adds "Since the day I met you I realized that the term ''Love at first sight'' actually is real and believe it or not I really want to explore whatever it is between us" He reveals, voice carrying unwavering truth and adoration. My chest tightens and relieves itself then began beating so loud I thought Gina could hear it all the way from her house. My eyes began watering dramatically and I really wanted to let out a sob to make it really look like I'm Cinderella or some shit. But I couldn't, I couldn't mess or humour myself in this situation like I do in every other ones. Because unlike my first relationship with my ex-husband - Crimson! - I know, I still wonder why I married someone with a name like that. but in my defense, years ago, I thought his name was a turn on - Arab's sweet words of affection and affirmation were doing things to me.

Things that I like a little too much.

Things that only him could do.

I stare at him with so much love I thought my eyes would pop out but then I rapidly blinked and tried to stop my dumbass stubborn tears from Cascading down my face.
