Chapter 22: Chapter 22

Havana's POV

"So pretty, who are they for?" I questioned, and he paused.

"Tell me" I persisted.

"They are for you" he responded, trying not to be emotional.

"This is actually the first time you are getting me anything" I confessed, looking at him funny.

"So, that is the reason you keep making me upset? Because I don't get you things" he raised an eyebrow at me, and pulled me closer, as he hugged me tightly.

He then made me sit on the bed.

"Now tell me, what do you like?" He questioned, and I looked at him as if he had a cloud hovering over his head. I don't know what was more shocking, the question "What do you like?" Or the person that was asking the question.

"Do you want to bribe me?" I questioned, and the way he threw his head backward made me assume that he was expecting my question.

"No, I wanted to get you something nice. I mean Nana asked me to do it." he responded.

"Hmmn. That means you are only doing it because Nana asked you to. I should have known you couldn't have decided to do that on your own" I rolled my eyes, looking away from him.

"No, that is not it. It's just that she suggested it, and I decided it was a great idea so I got you flowers, but I don't think you like the flowers" he responded, and that was the first time you felt like he was shy.

"Did you also get me the flowers I saw in my room?" I asked him.

"Yes, do you like those ones as well?" He questioned, and I took a deep breath.

"So you were the one that intended to turn my room into a garden?" I raised an eyebrow at him and he chuckled.

How was I going to tell him that I didn't fancy roses, I was more of a water Lily person.

"A single red rose would have been okay. Although, I do prefer you lilies to roses though'' I managed to say it in a way that I felt would be less offensive to him.

"I see, one small task and I f*cked it up" he cursed, looking so disappointed in himself.

"No, it's not that I don't like roses. Please don't get me wrong. I think it is thoughtful that you got me all the colors of roses you could find. It shows that you had my best interest at heart, and believe me, I appreciate that" I used my palms to massage his cheeks.

"Thank you, that was all I wanted in the first place" his response was not exactly what I was expecting though.

"Roses?" I inquired, and he chuckled

"Nope, I wanted to see that smile on your face" he touched my chin and looked me deeply in the eyes before he kissed me.

This time it felt different than our other kisses, it wasn't out of lust. It was sincere and pure, it was the kind of kiss that I was looking forward to.

He didn't say anything to me, neither did I say anything to him.

We just kept staring at each other, the way he licked his lips made me want more of him.

I cupped his face in my palms as I kissed him like my life depended on it. We kissed as though we were teenage lovers who were having their first kiss.

"I have to leave for work now. Please make sure you are home when I come back" he instructed, and I nodded my head as a yes, while I used my upper teeth to press on my lower lip.

For the first time, I felt like an anxious wife, patiently waiting for her husband to get back home.7

He hadn't even left my sight, yet I was waiting for him to return

What was the feeling I was having? Is it normal or I'm I just going insane?

Havana's POV

Now that Lucian has me bound only to the four walls of this mansion. What would I be doing here all by myself? I could learn a skill but then again, what kind of skill can I learn from the house? I am just freaking bored, even Angela had gone out.

"Watch out!" I heard a feminine voice screaming before I saw myself crashing to the ground. My crash was soon accompanied by the sound of glass shattering just beside me.

I felt a weight on top of me, as I slowly opened my eyes, and saw a beautiful fair Lady with ebony black hair, she looked at least two years younger than I was.

My eyes soon widened, when I noticed the glass had shattered. It's like a chandelier, and if this lady hadn't pushed me on time, then it would have surely fallen on my head.

"I'm sorry I pushed you" she got up dusting herself.

"No, don't be. You just saved my life, I owe you for this'' I thanked her, as I checked my body if I had any injuries but there were none.

"You were meant to be saved, so if there is anyone you owe something to. Then that would have to be destiny, and of course, you cannot pay your destiny" She had the cutest smile, I just couldn't hold back.

"I guess you are right" I agreed with her, I didn't want to push any further.

"But, who are you ? I am not sure I have seen you before, and you look too classy to be one of the workers here" I inquired, wanting to know the name of my savior.

"Oh! I almost forgot to introduce myself. Hi, I am Karina, I am Lucian's cousin, and thank you for the compliment" She extended her hand to shake me.

"Lucian's cousin? Lucian never spoke to me about any cousin. He didn't even tell me you were coming" I honored her handshake.
