Prince Of My Heart

|chapter 50|

Oh who am I kidding? He has more responsibilities I pull my door open grumbling to myself I turn the lights on and my steps falter, I eye the roses on the floor leading to my living room, roses are scattered everywhere on the floor,couch and on the table are candles in a heart shape and a bowl in the middle

My cheeks tint pink, here I am grumbling to myself when Alex is already a step ahead of me, I narrow my eyes at a brand new TV set, I can't believe he got me a new one even after I broke the last one

Surprise I hear his voice whisper in my ear from behind

My heart leaps out from my chest, I turn around staring at him for a while, he cut his hair again and it's shorter and the same way it was when I first saw him, the faux cut fits him perfectly and his lips pulls into a smile

Time stands still for a moment and all that worry and over thinking fades away as I pull him into a tight hug

It feels like I've not seen you in months I mumble still attached to him

He laughs softly, I know I've been piled with work but this weekend it's going to be just you and I

I nod into his neck still holding on to him tightly, I love this man and am never letting go

Come on Sophia I have another surprise for you

Other than trying to burn my apartment down? I raise a brow at him leaning back slightly

Yes he nods laughing; I missed you so much

I missed you too I lean forward placing my lips on his, he's hands grip my waist tightly pulling me closer to him as our lips move against each other, this is not the kind of kiss that leads to the bedroom, no this kiss clearly represents all the time we've missed from each other, I smile into the kiss giving out a little quiet moan and he immediately stops

No, we have to get to your surprise first then you can moan all you want he pecks my cheek panting slightly

I groan slightly staring at the bowl in the middle, what's that?

Your surprise he points out

I raise a brow, I told you to stop with the gifts

Am not stopping anytime soon and let me tell you this; you looked gorgeous in that dress a week ago

Thank you but Alex-"

Shhh he grabs my hand in his, I don't buy you the dresses cause I feel like you have to wear expensive things, in fact, I know you can handle yourself, I buy you these things because I feel good buying them for the woman I love, I know you love them, I know your style Sophia, you're going to complain for ages if you think I will ever stop, I want to spoil you

All my doubts clear up immediately, the man knows me like the back of his palm, probably can tell what am thinking from across the country

And I know you feel like am going to dump you anytime soon and you will indebted like your asshole ex but am not him, am  your boyfriend, your lover,the man you can confide in, cry to, laugh with and love so it's either you open the gift or i force it in you.

I laugh softly my eyes stinging with tears maybe I don't have such bad luck after all.

I move to the bowl looking inside I laugh softly, chocolate, we were arguing because of chocolates

I grab the bowl but he stops me turning the candles, off, come on I got your bags your next surprise is waiting he enters my bedroom coming out with my duffle bag.

Where are we going to? I send him a questioning glance

He only waves me off storing the candles away he turns off the lights pushing me back into the darkness he's hoodie drawn up we both climb down the stairs quickly and back into a car with Timothy

Good evening Timothy I tell him with a smile

Good evening Sophia;where to Sir?

The hanger please Alex replies he's hand in mine

I turn to him eyes narrowed, where are you taking me?

Relax Sophia, I promised you I would show you the world and I'll do exactly that he pecks my cheek

My wallet I left it I point out, my card everything is at my house

He grabs my chin placing his soft lips on mine for a moment, you don't need it

I still for a while, you can't distract me with kisses, at least tell me where were going to, and I have to inform my friends

Lester will take care of that he grabs my phone before I can stop him turning it off; I'll give it to you when we get there

Is it Paris? I jump in my seat, there's still so much I've not seen

No love he says with a smirk, his accent deepening

I immediately melt in his arms, how about a hint? I turn to him

It's warm no cold weather he points out that's all I can tell you.

Alex I whine

I'm not telling you anything but you'll love it there I promise; he pulls me into his body wrapping his hand around me, God I missed you he mumbles into my hair

I close my eyes breathing in his scent but the car comes to a stop, looking out the window I see a private jet waiting, it's the same with the one we went with to Paris.

I settle on my seat pouting at him from across the room as he speaks to the pilot in hushed tones

I peel my coat and sweater from my body remaining in just a tank top and jeans, I pull my boots away too, there's no need for all that if the trip is going to be long

Alex comes back taking a rest beside me, do you want anything? He turns to me buckling up

Where are we heading?

He snorts, not gonna happen, are you hungry? cause I am he asks clearly this time

I shook my head had dinner with Rosie and Johnny before leaving I answer; even the little things matter to him and am glad I found a man like him; anyway how was your trip?

The plane takes off as I ask this particular question

It was good, I'll take you there someday, everyone is quite lovely he tells me distracted by his food

You're super hungry I laugh grabbing his napkin and wiping on the side of his lips

Yea, I've been busy all day I missed lunch he shrugs turning to me so I can get the other side

Baby I snort; you're meant to be a prince with etiquette I point out with a laugh

I can be whoever I want with you, I don't feel the need to act like a prince when am with you he straightens his leg

Yea right, half the time you are all gentlemanly it's imbedded in you, there's just some qualities that you don't act out with other people because they are part of you

You don't want me to be a gentleman? He raises a brow

Is that all you got out of that sentence? And of course I want you to be a gentleman, I've dealt with enough rascals in this life time

Women are so complicated he snorts muttering the words underneath his breath

Hey I use the napkin to hit his shoulder

It's the truth and I love figuring you out he leans forward placing a peck on my lips; you should get some sleep we have a lot of exploring to do.
