8 love is in the air❣️

After a week I returned to the city. So much work was pending because of exams. Next day was college so I decided to give surprise to Derek in office . I reached office early,and knocked on his door.

Derek - Come in!!

Me - Hi!! R u busy,I can come later.

Derek - He got up from his chair and hugged me. Why didnt you told me? I would ve picked you. How is your mom and brother? How is everything at home.

Me - Mom is good now,she is coming back to herself. And bro is also okay now. He was quite shook up,but now he is returning to his old self. I stocked the pantry and the refrigerator, and bought all the necessities for mom.

Derek - Let's go for dinner today,it ll be a change for you .Let me just finish this.

Me - okay, I ll wait for u outside at my table. Let me also catch up with my work. I went to Liam's office and met me. He told that Derek told him about our relationship. He was happy for us. I asked him about the project. He updated me . After that I went to my table and started some work. Derek came and we went for dinner. He took me to a cafe, and we had coffee. He took me to an Italian restaurant and the food was very mouth watering. He told me that he missed me a lot . He dropped me home but today for the first time he kissed me on the cheek.

Next day at college my friends gave me all the notes,material and we worked like a machine. My exams were approaching and I was having difficulty with my editing paper. That day after work while going home I discussed my problem with Derek. He told me that he can help me as he have some books at his home library. He invited me to his home for the very time. And I accepted it gratefully without any apprehension. First time I wasn't scared being with a man alone.

Next day at college we got to know that it's our days off for preparations till my first exam. In evening I went to Derek's house with him after office. He introduced me to his cook Billy and housekeeper Mrs Shirley. They both were very happy to meet me. We were served with pasta,roasted potatoes with herbs, and dessert. Everything was too delicious. Then we went to library and he searched some books for me. We sat on his table and studied. He cleared my concepts and I made notes. We lost the time and we finished it was already 1 a.m .He asked me to stay that night with him if it's okay for me I was little scared but he assured me that he is no hurry to bed me. He ll wait for me at any cost. I became comfortable and he gave me his long t shirt which reached below my knees. We went to his room and lie down. He cuddled me and gave me a kiss on forehead and we slept that way . In morning after refreshing before office he dropped me back. I took a shower and changed at my place. I made myself fruit salad as I didn't want to waste my time in cooking. I opened all my notes and started my study. I got a call at 2 p.m that there is a delivery for me. I was confused as I didn't order anything and mom wouldn't send me anything without asking me. I told him exact address and I discovered that Derek had sent me some food. I messaged him thanks and he replied that he knew I wouldn't eat properly because of my study load. I just had this gooeey feeling within me. I realised that I have fallen for his these small small gestures. The way he adores me,the way he pampers me,the way he is patient with me . It's all like a dreamy felling but it took me long enough to realise that it's all true. He is true and he is there for me. That night he didn't call me and I was disappointed. I thought he must be busy somewhere. next day I called him and he picked up after few rings. He had a hoarse voice and he told me that he has got fever and is at home. I rushed to his home with my books and necessities.

That day I stayed with him,took him to doctor and made him some boiled vegetable soup. He was unconscious the whole day. I put some cold water bandages on his forehead. I slept in his room with him. Next day he woke up with pains in his whole body. I told his housekeeper what to make for breakfast,lunch and dinner. I spoon fed him and he slept that day also. I studied in my remaining time . Next day he finally felt better, and was very relieved that I was there with him. He told me that after such a long time he felt loved,and that he was not alone. We cuddled and slept for the afternoon. That evening I took him out for a walk. We strolled hand in hand there . That night at dinner, Derek told me that he wanted to talk to me after dinner. He took me to a room which was his parents and then he sat down on one knee and

Derek - Bella,that day I wasn't sure about your response and I didn't want to loose you so didn't propose. But now u r like a sunshine in my life. you have given me a new purpose for living. I can see light in my future. I ll adore u,ll pamper you,ll care for u,ll be there for u and will always luv you. " I Love You". Will you marry me?

Me - Yes, you give me my space,you already adore me,pamper me and you were there for me when I needed you the most. " I Love you too Derek".

Then he put the ring on my left finger. That ring had tiny diamonds around an aquamarine blue stone. It was very classy and chic yet held so much sophistication. He told me that it's his mother ring. " He kissed me this time on the lips" and it was like we were already one. He poured everything in that kiss. His love, passion, vulnerability and his soul. I kissed him back fully. It was my first kiss.
