she
was gazing at the wall behind him.
She jerked back and looked straight into
his eyes. He gave her a smile and looked around. She turned her head to see
Stefan and Elena watching her. She shook her head while smiling and leaned back
to her chair. She never thought this day would come.
They all were dining together in the
five-star hotel. Elena planned everything and at the final moment she called
her to join them. At first she objected but the queen ordered her to go along
with them. Reluctantly she joined them.
Edward and Stefan were in their evening
dress looking handsome and Elena looks beautiful in her long off-shoulder pink
dress. Sam also wore her favorite white knee length dress with a black strap
around her waist. Everyone in the room was gazing at them.
“So Sam, I was asked what will you do after
this marriage is over?” Edward asked her.
“Hmm...” She sipped her wine,” I think… I
mean I have to do justice to my course, right?” She laughed nervously.
“Yeah, I mean, you should do what you want
to do, right Stefan?” Elena looked at him.
“Yeah,” he said slightly irritated.
“Okay, enough of the heavy, for the past one
hour we have been discussing about the palace, the job and also your past,”
Elena looked at Sam. She gave her a weak smile.
“So? What do you want to do? After all it
was your plan,” Edward smiled at her. Elena smiled shyly.
Everyone can notice the way she looks at
Edward and the sparks in her eyes, but why would she do that? Only if she likes
him or love him?
Sam couldn’t understand since she began to
observe them. Elena shared a lot of time with Stefan but her face glow up
whenever she sees Edward, even if it’s for a few minutes. Does Stefan know
anything about it?
She sighed and continued listening to their
chatting. The dinner was served in a royal manner and the hotel took ever
measures serve them personally. Stefan excused himself for a phone call. After
a few minutes, Elena’s phone began to ring.
“Hello,” she said and listened.
“Oh no… really…. Okay okay I am coming,”
she looked worried and hurriedly got up. Edward also got up. Sam looked at them
“Wait! What happen?” He asked her.
“My mom, its emergency. I have to go,” she
began to leave. Edward stopped her.
“I will drop you,” he looked at Sam; she
just nodded her head to continue only to forget one thing that she will be
alone with Stefan. They left her behind and exited the hotel. Just then Stefan
came to his table.
“Where are they?” He looked at her pointing
to their empty chairs while sitting before her.
“They left. Actually Elena’s mom called her
so she has to go,” she said casually avoiding his eyes.
“Oh! Okay,” he sighed and called for the
bill.
***
“Stop” Elena suddenly shouted at Edward.
He abruptly applied the brake and looked at
her confused. Elena took her regular breathing and stepped out of the car. She
began to feel nervous. She had planned everything correctly.
Nothing has gone wrong now and she has the
right moment now to say to him. The cool air began to flow making her shiver.
This was the moment. The night was filled with stars and a crescent moon, no
one in the street. She heard him getting out of the car and stood before her.
“Elena? What happened? Why….” He couldn’t
continue further.
She moved closer to him until they were
just inches apart, clutching his suit with both her hands and lifted on her
toes to meet his face. He didn’t move but slowly he brought his face forward
until their lips met.
At first he kissed her lips but the heat
from her body which was now leaning on him, made him to deepen his kiss. He
felt her hands around his neck and his hands around her waist making her closer
to him. He never felt like kissing anyone like this. It was passionate and
romantic. They moved in sync, making him crazy to want more from her.
She fitted so perfectly into his arms. No
one ever was so perfect before, for him.
