A Race Of Love and Hate

Chapter 20- Romantic Getaway (Part 1)

I walked down the stairs only to see him leaning in the kitchen counter talking to my dad . I stopped dead in my tracks as I took him in.

He looked so hot in his tight navy blue shirt and grey jeans. I was gaping at him thinking how it's totally unfair of him to always look hot.

I was snapped out of my daze when Christina nudged me and I saw that Alex was looking at me in amusement.

I blushed at the thought of being caught while ogling at him. Judging by his smirk I can imagine how he was plotting ways to taunt me about ogling at him.

I glared at him giving him the look which said " don't you dare do what I think you are going to do "

He just chuckled at me then took my bags to his waiting car . We left our mobiles in my room and soon we were off on the busy streets of New Jersey.

After an hour of our travel he blindfolded me just like he did during our first date. I didn't argue this time as the suspense and wait was worth being blinded.

So I kept quiet hearing songs in my I pod eventually falling asleep. Not sleeping all night took its toll and the comforting smell of Alex put me at a peaceful slumber.

I felt myself being picked up bridal style the sparks through my body let me realise it was Alex.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and buried my face in the Crook of his neck inhaling his amazing cologne.

Then he carefully placed me down removing my stilottes and the cold marble touched my feet. I shivered at the coldness and by the feel of the man pressed up on my back.

He kissed my shoulder then slowly removed the blindfold. Once my eyes adjusted to the light I was gifted with the most beautiful sight I have ever seen.

We were standing in the balcony of our beach house with me wrapped in the arms of Alex looking at the early morning sunrise.

The sky was a mixture of orange, yellow and red. The sound of the waves meeting the shore and the sweet song of the birds set the perfect romantic moment.

I couldn't ask for more. I beamed at him for bringing me here. He returned the favour by kissing my cheek and tightening his hold on me.

1 hour later

I don't know why my stupid mouth has to blurt out that I don't know how to swim .

Because currently I'm running around the shore in a bikini with a shirtless Alex hot on my tail.

Apparently he bought it upon himself to teach me how to swim. So I'm running for my dear life.

But him being Mr . Tall he caught me so easily. I'm now being dragged towards my death waves.

I begged him to leave me but that idiot just chuckled. I had a iron grip on his neck just in case if he tries to throw me in the water.

When we were half submerged in water. Alex shifted me to his back with my legs and arms securely wrapped around him.

Then without a warning he jumped in the water and started swimming with me in his back.

It was actually fun. He was like my personal surf board. We swimmed like that for some time or more like he swimmed .

By the end of our swimming session I overcomed my fear of water. We spent the next few hours with him trying to teach me swim.

And me being well me failing miserably. Then we kept the task aside to be accomplished in the rest of our vacation.

Then we laid in the white sand with me lying on his chest and him stroking my hair and back while humming some song.

I smiled at his soothing voice and just laid there hearing his heart beats as music to his voice.

I was engulfed by his amazing smell and let myself to be drown in the feel of him.

By the time we left the beach back to the House it was nearly 10 . So we decided to have a late breakfast.

To my surprise Alex offered to cook so I sat on one of the stools watching him cook.

He looked like a greek god as my eyes followed his every movement. I don't know what made me more mesmerised.

The fact that he could cook so expertly or by the way he muscles flexed each time he stretched.

In a span of half an hour . I had a plate in front of me filled with waffles, pancakes, bacon and scrambled eggs.

I took a bite and neatly moaned at the taste. I smiled and said

" wow not only you are a good cook but also a fast one at that. . I'm quite impressed. From when did you start cooking zander"

He beamed at me and said

" I stayed alone in England for three years remember. So I learned to cook there"

Just like that I lost my appetite because I knew that the reason he went away from his family suffering all alone was me.

He should have sensed my discomfort because the next thing I know he was hugging me. While I was bawling my eyes out saying sorry over and over again.

He just kissed my tears and said

" Hey it wasn't your fault. . I told you I don't like seeing you cry.. so stop crying let's go watch a movie. ."

I nodded and smiled at him then said

" Really can we watch little mermaid "

He chuckled and raised an eyebrow at me and said

" what are you five. .. seriously little mermaid"

Then he broke into a full blown laugh like chocking yourself to death kind of laugh. He actually had tears in his eyes.

I just glared at him and said

" so what do you suggest Mr. I'm- so- matured- and-smart"

He beamed at me and said

" I say we watch batman"

Now it was my turn to laugh. Not only he said he wanted to watch batman but he had this proud grin on his face like he chose the best movie ever.

He glared at me but I could see he was containing his own laughter. Then he said

" if your done let's go and watch the movie"

I reluctantly stopped laughing and went to the living room. We laughed and talked with each other.

Through out the movie we were wrapped around each other. A few kisses here and there .... It was pure Bliss.

I slept somewhere during the movie in safety of his arms. Right now I couldn't ask for anything more perfect than this.

I smiled at the thought of how lucky I'm to get a boyfriend like him. I really did love this guy more than anything. This thought made me smile and snuggle closer in his embrace.
