Complete Me

"Can I have a glass of Rosé?" I smile at him. He then slowly moves his eyes to Kaden.

"Water." He mumbles. "And give my lady the whole bottle of Rosé." He doesn't even bother to look at the waiter, who hands us the food menu then scurries away.

"My lady?" I playfully raise my eyebrows at him.

The waiter then comes over to us with our drinks, he places the bottle of Rosé in the middle of the table. "Are you ready to order?" He flips his notepad and glances quickly at me.

"What do you recommend?" I ask Kaden.

He orders for the both of us and then glares at the waiter. He rushes off and Kaden continues our conversation.

"I know you're the one for me, Ava." He says calmly.

"What if you're not the one for me?" I raise my eyebrows at him and lean foreword a little.

"Baby, I know I'm the one for you. Now that I got a taste of you this morning, believe me, I don't think I can let you go." He also leans forward and then pecks my lips before leaning back on his chair. "I don't care how long we've known each other Ava, it doesn't matter. I've been single for five years it's about time I settled down."

"So what does this mean then?" I tuck a strand of hair behind my ear.

"I really want to see where this goes. I got you something." He pulls out a velvet box and opens it to reveal and expensive looking necklace. 

"Kaden." I whisper. "This is too much, you shouldn't have." I look up at him with wide eyes but he smiles.

"I want to do things like this for you, I want to treat you like a Queen." He reaches forward and places his hand on top of my own. "Tell me, baby. Has any man treated you like this, the way you deserve?" I shake my head and then look away when I think about the way Jamie used to treat me.

The complete opposite.

"I know you won't tell me now but I know that something happened to you, baby." He strokes my cheek.

"I'm s-sorry." He frowns.

"Don't be sorry, just trust me when I say that I want you. You make me feel alive, you make me feel like I'm not going to die alone because Lily would of moved out and found a man to look after her." He jokes which makes me giggle. "When you're ready to tell me, which could be in a year, twenty years, I'll always be here for you Ava."

I smile and lean in and kiss his cheek.

"Thank you." I whisper and then our food arrives.

"Have you got an eye problem?" Kaden asks the waiter and I look at him like he's crazy.

"Kaden!" I lightly scold him.

"No seriously, do you have an eye problem?" He tilts his head at the man. "Because all you seem to be doing is staring at my woman like she's a piece of meat and I really don't appreciate it. You keep staring at her and I might have to do something about your eye problem, sì?" The waiters hands start to shake and he runs off.

"Kaden that was mean." I scowl but then laugh afterwards.

Poor guy.

We eat our meals in a comfortable silence, Kaden would continue to pour me more Rosé when I'd finished a glass and now I am feeling extremely tipsy.

"Let's go halves, sì?" I giggle at myself for trying to copy his way of saying yes in Italian.

"No, baby. I'm paying." He chuckles.

He pays the bill and we both stand up, however I feel myself falling backwards so Kaden rushes to my side. He wraps his arms around my waist. "Looks like my girl is drunk." He smirks.

"No, no, no." I throw my head back and sway a little, so he tightens his arm on my waist and leads me out of the restaurant. Not before glaring at our waiter.

"Bye!" I wave at him and everyone turns to look at me as I shout at the waiter.  "Kaden my feet hurt." I whine as we walk through the car park to his car.

"Okay, baby." He picks me up bridal style and walks us to the car, he places me into the passenger side and kisses my head before shutting the door.

"I wanna cuddle." I slur and rest my head on the window. "With you because you're cuddly, like a big bear." He smiles at me and shakes his head. "You don't want to cuddle with me?" I pout.

"Trust me angel, I want to do more than cuddle but I'll wait. Do you want to stay with me tonight?" I nod straight away, making him chuckle.

•••

I spin around in Kaden's bedroom. It's looks so lavish.

"Baby, please stop spinning around, you're going to hurt yourself or be sick." Kaden says worriedly as he takes his suit off and stands in front of me in just his boxers.

Wow.

He's one muscly, sexy man.

"Ava!" He whisper yells, not wanting to wake everyone else up.

I fall on the floor.

"What did I say?" He picks me up and I giggle, playing with his hair. "Should not of given you all that wine. Now are you going to undress so I can put my t-shirt on you or do you want to do it yourself?"

He places me on my feet and hands me the shirt. "M-myself." I look down at the floor, afraid that if he does it, he'll see the long scar along my stomach.

"Okay, I'll turn around." He turns around and I get undressed and put the shirt on, trying not to fall back on the floor.

"I'm done." Kaden looks me up and down and smiles.

"You look sexy in my clothes." He smirks and then picks me up and places me in the bed. Kaden climbs in next to me and I rest my head on his chest.

"Thank you for tonight, I really enjoyed myself." I tell him, while he strokes my hair.

"I'd do anything for you, Ava. Now go to sleep, baby." He kisses my forehead.

"Night, Kaden."

"Night, Angel."
