Pulling Heart Strings

Chapter 40

Rose's pov.

,,I'll just go to get some fresh air." I said to Stephen getting up from the table. I walked to the terrace. The view was incredibly beautiful. All you could see was the beauty of nature. The moon light shining. I looked out watching the trees move and all.

Suddenly I felt a pair of arms wrapping themselves around my waist. I was shocked. Who was it? I started to panic. My body tensed. ,,Calm down beautiful it's me." I heard his voice and calmed down. Stephen. I breathed out.

,,Why are you so tensed?" He asked wrapping his arms tighter around me. ,,Ya I was just scared when you suddenly hugged me." I said stating the truth. It was quite. We just stood there enjoying the peace. All you could hear was the wind at night. I looked at the moon which was glowing.

,,Can I ask you something?" He asked. ,,Sure." He inhaled. ,,What do you think of me?" It came so sudden. ,,What would I think? I think that you're a kind person." I stated simply. ,,I see. Do I mean anything to you?" Again I was shocked at the sudden question. ,,Of course you mean something to me. You mean a lot to me. " I could feel him sigh against my neck. ,,Would you ever consider me more than a friend?" He asked. Something was definitely weird. He kept asking weird questions. I giggled. ,,Why are you asking?" ,,Just answer." He replied.  I slightly turned around to see his face. He looked different. The moon light shining on his beautiful face. His eyes glowing like pearls. ,,I'm not sure. I think I might. As I said you do mean a lot to me. And I also know it's not just as a friend." He sighed against my neck. He kissed my neck.

,,What would you do if I asked you to be my girlfriend?" What the hell Stephen. Why such weird questions? ,,Answer" I didn't know what to say. ,,I don't know. You didn't ask me that so I'm not able say what I would answer." I said honestly. He sighed.

His grip loosend around me. He came in front of me looking into my eyes. I could see the seriousness in his eyes. He took a deep breath. I've never seen him like this. ,,Rose Agatha Kingsley. Do you wanna be my girlfriend?"

What the hell omg? I felt my heart beat raise. Did he just finally ask? The guy I like wants me to be his girlfriend. Me Rose Kingsley. I smiled to myself. I felt so happy. I felt a little tear run down my cheek. We haven't known each other that long but we've been through some shit. I might have hated this guy in the beginning. But now he means a lot to me.

,,I do." And with that Stephen pulled me into deep kiss. From now I'm officially Stephen James's girlfriend. The kiss was so passionate and full of love. It was different from the kisses we shared before. I knew this one meant a lot more. I was happier than ever. Finally the thing I hoped for a long time happend.

Alter a long time we released from the kiss. Stephen looked into my eyes. It wasn't the generally lustful eyes. It was so caring and happy. ,,I'm happy." I said. He put his hands on my cheek and caressed it. ,,Me too." He rested his head against mine. I closed my eyes. All I could hear was the night air and his breath.

,,Wanna get out of here?" He asked pulling away a bit. I nodded. He took my hand and we walked downstairs fast. After saying goodbyes to everyone we took the limo and drove. During the car drive Stephen kept kissing me. After a while we arrived somewhere.

I looked around and saw a tall hotel building in front of me. ,,Why are we here?" I asked confused. ,,Because it takes really long to go home and also there is a lot of traffic right now." I just nodded. 

We went to the reception. ,,Good evening sir. How can I help you?" The woman behind the desk asked. ,,I have a reservation on the name James." The woman nodded and looked through her system. After a while she said ,,Yes. Room number 226. A room for 2 right?" Stephen nodded. ,,Here are the keys." She said handing it over to Stephen. She smiled at me.

We took the elevator and stopped at our floor. We walked through the hallway to our room. Stephen put the keys in and swung the door open. It was a pretty big room. A masterbed. As well as a little sofa and t.v. It looked really comfortable. ,,Ok Stephen I'll go take a shower." I said. ,,Ya ok. But what about clothes?" He asked looking at me from the bed. ,,Nah I'll just wear this no problem." He nodded and I walked into the bathroom.

I jumped into the shower letting the warm water flow down my body. Also my make up was running down but I didn't care. All I needed was a shower. A shower to realise how happy I actually was. Stephen asked me out. Fucking Stephen James asked me to be his girlfriend. Me out of all those beautiful people in this world. I was definitely happy but why would he choose me? I'm not even beautiful. I'm just an average girl nothing special. I'm sure there are a lot of girls who would run after Stephen for his beauty. Like he is a Greek god sculpted by god. The fucking definition of perfect.

And also the looks aren't that important. But that personality though. He can be cocky but he was a kind hearted man. The man I was starting to fall for. The man who I needed in my life to be happy. The man I could look at and all my worries would be taken away. The man I was ready to give myself.
