Chapter 73: Chapter 73

Wil Bur

I took her hair sideways so it would stop falling over her face.

She disengaged from me and gave me a smile

“what?” I asked with a grin and she giggled and buried her face in my neck. I stroke her hair and kissed her forehead

“I've missed you” I said and she got off me and gulped down her glass of juice

“and you didn't let me finish mine” I said and she laughed

“well, I was so eager to kiss you” she said with a shrug

“and was that short kiss enough for you, huh Marigold?” I asked and she pouted and blinked her eyes at me

“come here baby” I cooed and stretched forth my hand to her

“leave me” she stated and ran up. I ran up after her and pursued her round the living room till I caught her and held her tight

“Will, will let me go” she laughed out and I wouldn't even budge

“come on, kiss me” I said and tried bringing my head to collide with her mouth but she pulled away

“no ooo” she screamed and I carried her up. She was giggling.

“would you kiss me or not?” I asked as I still carried her up

“I don't wanna” she replied

“you want the silent treatment?” I asked and she was quiet. Mari hates the silent treatment so much, I remember I almost made her cry

I brought her down and made her face me. I cupped her face

“you want the silent treatment?” I asked again and she slowly shook her head

I drew closer and kissed her softly for like three seconds then let go of her lips. They then curved into a smile and I laughed at her

“look who's been giving me attitude” I teased and she hit my chest

“I'm hungry. I didn't have the appetite to eat in the plane” I said and sat down on one of the other sofas

“why?” she asked and arranged the glasses in the tray

“cause all I wanted was to see you” I replied and she chuckled

“well I've had lunch and there are no leftovers so should we order something or should I put something together for you” she asked

“uhm, let's go out. My French restaurant” I said

“okay then. But I'm not eating much, I'm watching my weight” she said

“you're on a diet?” I asked

“no, just not eating too much” she replied

“you should take a shower Will” she said and went to my luggage. She pulled it along and rolled it towards the stairs

“come on, let's go up” she said again. I stood up, took the second luggage and we went upstairs. We went to my personal room in the house and dropped the bags. She then went to her room to change

As I was about entering into the bathroom with just a towel around my waist, my phone beeped and I checked. It was a message from Eduardo, it said WELCOME BACK, LET'S MEET

I was surprised because I didn't tell anyone I was coming back home today. How did he know? Or did he see me?

I dropped the phone without replying and entered the bathroom. I had my shower in about ten minutes and came back out to the room.

Mari was arranging the pillows properly. That was when I noticed she changed the sheets

“hey” I called out to her and she smoothed a pillow without looking up at me. She was wearing a dress that reached her knees and her legs looked so beautiful and sexy with that dress

“hey” she replied

I walked to my luggage and got out a tight T-shirt and blue short jeans.

“you came out fast” I said and wiped my face with another towel

“yeah. I hurried” she replied and finally looked up at me. She smirked and I moved closer to her

“why that smirk?” I asked and she chuckled

“I got an A in Math test” she said and smiled brightly

“whoa. Are you serious? An A? Like how did you do it?” I asked and she laughed sweetly. I could see she was happy with the way I responded

“I got the brain” she said jokingly and I pulled her into a hug

“let's share this brain of yours then” I said and smoothed her hair. She looked up at me

“no, you've got yours” she teased and I smiled

“really? You're not gonna share with me? Remember I'm your baby” I said with a pout

“awwn so cute” she cooed and squished my cheek. She then tip toed and kissed me

“come on, dress up. I'll be downstairs. I love you” she said and kissed me again. It was short and as she disengaged from me, she brushed her soft palm on my waist. I shuddered a bit and realized I actually wanted to bed her.

She left the room and it was as she shut the door that I found out I forgot to tell her I Love You Too.

I hurried to the door, opened it and peeped out

“hey Gold” I called out

She looked back immediately

“I love you too” I said and she chuckled and blew me a kiss then walked away.

I entered inside and closed the door back

After dressing up, I wore two hand bands on my left hand and slipped on a ring unto my index finger. I creamed my hair and left it in messy bangs then I left the room.

She was downstairs drinking the remaining juice when I came down

“hey, let's go. We're taking your car” I said and she threw me her keys. Mari is using the car for this house. She actually refused that I get her a new one and a driver too. She said she could drive since when she was eighteen and all I should do was to renew her license which I did

I held her hand and I was swinging it as we walked out

“aren't you going to tell your chauffeur to maybe go home?” she asked as she locked the front door

“he went home after we took my bags” I replied and checked my pockets because I thought I had forgotten my wallet on the bed. But thank God I didn't.

We went to the car and entered. I drove to my favorite French restaurant, the one I took her too the first time we had a meal together
