Chapter 60: Chapter 60

ROYCE

Yesterday was a beautiful day that I'd never expected seeing mom and dad on the night of my birthday. But having Nelly by my side was everything I needed to make my day. And the thought of her making time for me was surreal.

"Baby, what do I wear?" Nelly asked as we were heading to my room.

"My princess, that's not a problem. As I've told you, I'm prepared. You have it in my room, in the walk-in closet. Come with me."

We went directly to my walk-in closet. Nelina's mouth fell open, seeing the dresses hang in my wardrobe. There were formal and casual dresses that she liked, which could be used for work. The usual look she has for work is in the selection of clothes in my closet. I knew that she likes to pair jeans with a t-shirt or a long sleeve sometimes and put a pastel color suit on top of it.

"Who chose these pieces?" Nelly asked, arching her eyebrows in confusion. "Whoever it might be, the person might seem to know me," she added.

"Well, Marica told me a little bit of your dressing style based on what I saw you dress more often. But to be honest, I had good help from the stylist in every store I bought them from. I didn't expect picking dresses for women could be laborious," I said, shaking my head in disbelief.

Nelly laughed at me. "I didn't ask you to do so. It's not like I'll live here with you for long, and besides, I still have clothes to wear."

"I don't mind. And by the way, I still have more surprises for you." I took Nelly's hand and went to the line of shoes.

"These are all for you," I said, pointing to the lines of shoes I bought for her.

"Are you serious? All for me?" Nelly said, pointing to the shoes.

"Of course, why don't you start fitting them on? Let's see if it suits you well."

Nelina picked up the baby pink sneaker shoes first, which could be used in work paired with her jeans. She also tried the pump shoes and stilettos by Christian Louboutin, Manolo Blahnik, and other designers. I can't even remember the name of some of the designers that the stylist recommended to me.

And lastly, Nelina tried the Nike and Adidas sporty shoes she can use working out in the gym. I can see she's having fun by trying them on. It was easy to believe that women love shoes.

"Love them?"

"Yeah, all of them, and they're just too many for me."

"That's what you deserve, my princess. But my surprise doesn't end there."

"What?" Nelly asked, her eyes sparkled.

"I have a few more surprises. Come," I said, gently grabbing Nelly's wrist, leading her to the second column of the closet. The bags, perfumes, vanity set of make-up mirror and chair, and the other cosmetics are placed.

"I had someone organize this for you like the usual women's walk-in closet. Do you like it?"

Nelly gasped as he slapped a hand covering her mouth. It took a little while before she spoke.

"This is my dream, having this luxury make-up set, make-ups, the bags, and the perfumes. Royce, you spent too much money for all of these," Nelly said as she walked close to the organized bags.

"And the bags, they are all designer bags. Are you out of your mind? Royce, you shouldn't have spent this much."

"I've been working hard since my grannies left me. These are from my hard-earned money, and I am happy to spend them for you, baby. Baby, you don't have to worry; I know how to manage my finances," I assured her.

"My goal is to save and buy them myself. When I was in high school, I always dreamed of having my own income, independent from my parents, and buying things I love." Nelly said, holding one of the Hermes bags.

"I believe in you, baby. You can still do that. These are my gifts for you. Your dream is still available; you can reach them anytime. Keep pursuing them; I am your number one supporter."

I didn't regret having a massive walk-in closet. It was wishful thinking to have someone with me in this condo two years ago when my wounds were still fresh. Yet, it did come true. Seeing Nelina's beautiful smile was a priceless reward.

"Baby, this is too much, but still, thank you. I really appreciate all of this."

By then, I had a pretty broad smile on my lips.

"Anything for you, baby. I love you," I declared, wrapping my arms around her waist and pulling her close to me.

Nelly wrapped her hands around my neck and kissed me on the lips. I prolonged it a bit, making a smacking sound when our lips parted.

"That was sweet." I licked my lips, tasting a sweet juice from it.

"Stop it. I'll change, right now."

I didn't move; Nelly pulled a little.

"What are you waiting for?"

"Baby, you can change in front of me; there's nothing you have to hide. I've seen it all."

Nelly pursed her lips and glared at me.

"Can I have some privacy here some times? You promised to give it to me while staying here."

"What I meant there was when you are working. I didn't know couples need privacy while changing clothes," I said nonchalantly, trying to piss her off.

"Well, I need it right now. Get lost," she commanded, gesturing a hand for me to leave.

"Alright, I'm leaving," I said, surrendering my hands. I took it as a threat, so I left her alone in my closet and waited until she was done changing clothes.

A few minutes had passed when Nelly came out of the walk-in closet wearing a peach body-hugging mini dress that landed on the mid of her thighs. She paired it with white Louis Vuitton sneakers and chose a black shoulder Hermes shoulder bag.

"How do I look?"

I was in complete awe looking at her; she took my breath away.

"My princess, you look lovely in that dress."

"Don't you think it's too tight?" Nelly asked, referring to her body-hugging dress.

"No, it fits so well." I was quick to reassure Nelly as I came close to her.

I trailed a hand on the side of her curve. She has a pear-shaped body, a body to die for. Nelly jolted a little following the trace of my hand.

"You need to go and change now," Nelly suggested.

She seemed to notice the craving in my eyes as I looked at her. I swear the sexual desire between us was high after what we had in the shower room. I heaved a sigh and gave her a brief naughty smile before I left to change clothes. She bit her lower lip as she watched me go.

Since I had already bought Nelly's clothes, shoes, and bags, we decided to skip shopping and watch the latest movie instead. I like watching romantic films, but sadly we don't have the same taste in movies, so we settled on watching the latest comedy movie.

"Baby, why don't you like watching romantic films?" I asked when we were inside the theater holding our popcorn and drinks.

"It's not that I don't like it; it's more of the vibes it gives to me. Baby, I want to be entertained. Watching romantic movies will make me cry most of the time. I don't want that."

"Baby, this year is the best birthday I've ever had," I said, rubbing the tip of my nose on hers.

Nelly put popcorn inside my mouth. I ate it. The film we're watching was a comedy, but somehow it doesn't clear the romantic atmosphere on our side.

"It's good to hear that, baby. I want to see you happy with me every day."

My eyes widen, seeing a chance for her to say yes to my offer.

"Does it mean you're saying yes to my request to stay with me?"

Nelly paused a bit, seemingly thinking of what she had to say. "Well, yes, temporarily."

"How about you make that, permanently?" I suggested.

"Big NO," Nelly said, putting the finger on my lips. I tried to bite it, but she was fast.

"It's good enough that I have something to look forward to. For now, you can stay temporarily."

We sealed her promise with a kiss on our lips.
