A night with Mr. Arrogant

Chapter 36

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We had a romantic dinner by the sea. I caught the scent of his perfume, jasmine and roses and even sweeter things I couldn't name.Roxas Boulevard gleamed beautifully in the distance. That exact moment, time stood still. The other people outside stopped moving; all noise ceased; the wind dropped. It was plain romantic.

I stood dumbstruck right in the middle of Diamond Hotel as I moved toward the wooden cottage. My heart kicked to a fourth gear as my own eyes flew open and took a glimpse of this. . .

This caught me off guard; It was quite a scene to behold. The enormous heart was filled with little balloons, each one containing words of love. Every word sank slowly down my brain, one by one as I read them.








I was scrambling for coherency while his gaze unintentionally scattered my thoughts. As my hand hovered around the paper, I could not seem to find appropriate words. I wanted to shout how much lucky I felt and how much I love the man whose arms were wrapped around me that instant.







But the words seemed to lodge in my throat. All I was able to manage was an "I love you, Babe".

Above us, the stars were out in full. Yet however amazing the stars were, he was twice as brilliant. That exact moment, I was deeply enthralled by his charm. He gave me a hug that just about squeezed my eyes out of their sockets.










“Sometimes you’re just too perfect for me and I feel so thankful, knowing that you’re mine and I’m yours. You’ve been there for me when no one else was. You’ve kept me strong when I was at my weakest. You’ve taught me how to hold on when I felt like letting go. But most of all, you have loved me when I have least expected it…and you never asked for anything in return.With you, I have never felt so loved and cared for…because back then, I used to be the one who played with love and I ended up all alone.You’re the best thing that ever happened to me. And I am here to stay with you for as long as I can.”







He said and no thousand words could equal what I felt that exact moment when he held me close in his arms. We stared at each other's eyes in deep adoration. With his fingers locked around mine, he leaned in and as his lips touched mine, I knew that I would always remember this unusual birthday of mine










~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~










“Where exactly are you taking me?” I said as I tighten the hold on his hands. I was blind folded and was shamelessly laughing while he blow his hot breath on my ear or sometimes in my neck










I felt his finger brushed my lips and then kissed my forehead before he whispered to my ear “Shh.. we’re almost there”







I heard the noises and music were already toning down as if we were moving pass by another area and all I could hear was the splashing of water nearby









I felt him move to me closer and slowly, he tugged off that small piece of clothe hovering my vision. It took my few seconds to adjust to the dimness of the area but as my eyes got used to it and slowly becoming clear as seconds tick ..








I gasp as my eyes grew wider as the sight of right before me
“Oh.. God!” I drew my hands together and covered my mouth with it








I darted my direction to Iñigo who took my hands once again and squeeze it
“This is too much, Iñigo”








He then gave me that really mesmerizing and heart-melting smile and kissed my forehead
“Come, the surprise I have for you is actually inside”











“But Iñigo .. You already have---”
To say that I was surprise is understated. I was cut off when he carried me swiftly into his arms just like a groom would to his bride





and then my heart started speeding up once again as we made it inside the luxury yacht.









Small isn't a word one would use to describe this yacht. At 86 feet long, and offering nearly 2500 square feet of indoor space and a 1200 square foot, outdoor entertainment space, this Yacht is the largest, private vessel I’ve ever seen so far.






It has a three-story luxury featuring three bedrooms (two master suites, as well as crews quarters), a gourmet galley with a formal dining area and salon, and a spacious upper deck that doubles as a helicopter pad with hydraulic, motorized handrails.









and as the yacht started moving away from the deck, Iñigo led me to the stairs and to the third floor we go










A round table exquisitely stood there in the middle of the floor while a violinist started playing that unfamiliar but very soothing sound








We sat just across each other and a waiters started serving us various mouth-watering delicacies that one thing you can’t take your eyes of









The sky was clear at that time as the stars twinkle just above us and Even though we started eating in silence, at the back of my mind I couldn’t help but wonder how he could do all these thing in just one day








A small smile crept my face and he didn’t disappoint me as he smiled back in return. It’s as if even though we’re not talking nor exchanging verbal and lingual languages, we knew each other’s thoughts in silence



and then, out of nowhere, he immediately stood up and , to my surprise, took off his shirt black vest which made me stand from where I sat and reach out for him









“What are you doing?!” I asked in disbelief but he just gave me that infamous mischievous smirk that I’ve known him for and continued taking off his red shirt







I don’t know why I should be shy about it since I’ve already seen it all and even touch it all with my hands. I covered my eyes with my bare hands and heard Iñigo’s laughter echoing in my ear









My knees started to wobble as I heard his footsteps grow closer to where I stood. My legs grew weaker and weaker ..








“Nina” He whispered right next to me while holding my arms
“It’s okay. You don’t have to be shy you know”








My already-flustered cheeks can’t help but grow even red than usual. I took my hands off my eyes and hit his bare chest lightly







“Iñigo..” I whined while he wrapped his arms around me
 “You have a full of surprises today and---”










I was cut off and tongue tied when I caught sight of that tattoo on his left chest. It was in the usual black Gabrielle-font text which is the highlight of his bare chest now, aside from those other tattoo he already has before







I love you Nina
Was written in a bold














I looked up to his face expecting him to say something but he didn’t. It actually didn’t there .. There was more to my surprise especially when he turn around and another newly-imprinted tattoo was scripted across his broad back








Will you marry me?
