Scarlet's Pov~~~

Alexander was standing there looking at us. Our eyes met and I could see through his eyes that he is indeed hurt. I could feel it from here and my heart is pounding inside me.

"Will you be my girlfriend?
I promise to keep you always happy princess." Max stood up now and once again said adoringly holding my hands together.

I am feeling those weird sensations inside me and it is caused by only one person, Alexander Pearce. Why do I feel it? Because I am falling in love with him and I want to be loved by him and only him. I don't want to push away those feelings neither want to deny it. Yes I am attracted to my boss.

Max is a great guy but I am not his princess and he is not my prince. So I did what I should do. I looked into Max's eyes and said,

"Max, you're a great guy, very considerate, successful in your work and one of the most damn handsome man I have ever met here in Italy. But,
I am sorry I don't feel the same way as you feel for me. I consider you as my best friend whom I would like to cherish my whole life as a friend. One day you will find your princess and that day will be soon buddy."

"Oh okay. No problem. I just... umm... would you mind if I ask you something?" He was not at all angry. Like an understanding person he is, he just asked me calmly and I nodded him in response.

"It's him, isn't it? Well, you like him. That's the reason why you're not reciprocating towards my feelings. Hmm..."

"Yes" I blushed.

Leaning towards me he whispered into my ears by asking,
"And he is standing behind me right?"

"Yes." I replied him back and I could see that Alexander is in a much tensed state.

Max kissed my left cheek and mumbled a goodnight. He then turned towards Alexander and acknowledged him with a handshake and left us alone.

Now it's my turn to let my prince know my answer to his proposal.
I couldn't stop myself from falling in love with this man who is standing in front of me, there is an eerie silence between us and I walked towards him and stood right in front of him. His mesmerizing green eyes held a lot of questions and as I said before he is tensed. But he is keeping his calm which I never expected from him.

Breaking the silence between us I calmly stated looking straight into his eyes,

"I said no to him."

Realizing what I said to him, he had a huge smile on his face and now his tensed self-relaxed back. Also I could see a spark in his eyes.

"I found my prince and he is standing right in front of my eyes, looking at me with a hopeful sign. So....Mr. Alexander Pearce, I want to give us a chance. My answer is yes."

Right then without a word he pulled me towards him and kissed me like his life depended on our kiss. His kisses were all rough and I was in a daze. He was ecstatic with my answer and lifted me up in the air and laughingly turned me around. I kept my hands on both side of his shoulder for a firm grip and laughed along with him.

"Dove, I promise you.
I will always keep you safe and happy.
I want to know you more and deepen our bond." He said with a genuine smile and I gave a peck on his lips.
I feel so happy today that I am not able to express it in words. I am speechless!

I was smiling like an idiot all through our drive towards home. Being with him is always like a dream. I am still not able to believe that I am in a relationship with him.

"Dove, I want you to put on this blindfold. Please don't ask me any questions for now. I have planned something for you. Okay so here we go." He placed the blindfold on my eyes and made me move out from the car. I took my steps carefully and Alexander led me towards whatever surprise he have planned for me.

"Okay. Here we are!" He whispered into my ear causing me to have chills all over my body.

I took of the blindfold and looked at the surprise in front of me which made me gasp.

It's really amazing that he decorated our balcony into a cozy place for dinner. Soft small bed was placed supporting the wall, surrounding with pillows and there are two glasses and a bottle of wine kept on the center of the bed. There are lights hanging above and lamps kept on each side. It's beautiful and pretty romantic.

"I wanted to have a date with you. And I thought why not we have our first date here." He said leading me towards the balcony. We sat onto the bed and he poured us both a glass of red wine.

"Come here." He put forward his hand and stood up. I took his hand and stood up with him smiling. Kissed on the back of my palm and kept both of my hands on his shoulder while he keeps his hands on my waist and started swaying a bit. Like a slow dance without no music.

I was smiling as well as blushing and kept my face down.

"Scarlet, look at me...Hey..." holding my chin up, he made me look at his face and into his mesmerizing eyes.

"A little time ago, I thought that I lost you to him. Honestly, I was scared.
I wouldn't know what would have I had done at that time to win you back.
I will not let anyone take you away from me. You know why?" He asked while holding my face with both sides.

"Why?"

"Because your mine."

He kissed me senseless. I could feel the intensity which he had for our feelings through his kiss. His hands were roaming all over my body.
I was getting those butterfly feelings deep in my belly. He bit my lower lip and I gasped, at that moment he swirled his tongue inside my mouth making the kiss deeper.
Slowly his kisses trailed down to the sides of my neck and near to my collarbone. In between at the perfect region he gave me a bite followed by a hot kiss which led me to have a shiver and a sweet sensation.

Looking at me he said,

"Mine!"

With that he picked me up in bridal style and headed inside the bedroom.
