Chapter 40: Chapter 40

Vincent

“So, are you sleepy?” I asked her.

“Nope” she got up. “Let me arrange the room first”

She opened up the suitcase and started arranging the things. I went to her and took out something too and helped arrange it. She was tired by herself too, I shouldn’t just sit around.

After some time I saw that the things I arranged, she removed those and kept them somewhere else. She didn’t say anything to me but rearranged every single thing I arranged.

“What’s this Ashley?” I said, a little irritated by this. I did so much work but it all went in vain.

“Ah actually,” she turned to me and smiled, a hint of evilness lurking. “I appreciated your efforts by not pointing out your mistakes, but I gotta correct them because the kettle should be near water and not on the dressing table and I will never ever find the comb if you keep it with the books”

I looked at her a little embarrassed. “Ah… I just tried to help”

“and I am glad”

I smiled and she smiled back. She is damn right, I didn’t know where to keep the things anyway! I was just keeping them wherever I saw empty space.

“So now?” I asked her after we were settled and she sighed. “Now I am tired”

“Sleep then”

“Hm…”

She came and laid on the bed while I laid down beside her. Then I covered her with the blanket and looked at her.

I continued looking at her. She was the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. She is pretty, has a good nature, and everything that can make a girl perfect. What else can we expect from a girl? she loves me too and it’s like… she is so perfect!

“Ah I really wanna sleep”

I heard her. “So sleep” I replied.

“With your constant staring?”

I blushed lightly and looked down. She is so cute. But tell me, girl, how do I take my eyes off such a pretty face?

“Well,” I laughed. “That is something you have to bear with”

“No!”

I pulled her close and her breath hitched up. I pulled her closer and our faces touched.

“V-Vicent…”

“Any problems?” I whispered huskily.

“No…”

I kept us in that position for some minutes and caressed her hair. I love her hair really and her beauty is breathtaking. I slowly kissed her forehead and found that she was asleep.

Finally, we have reached from the time where we were so shaky being near to each other to when we are comfortable enough to sleep.

I hugged her more comfortably and made a comfortable distance and then slept.

The next day I woke up and she was still sleeping. I went out to order breakfast. After returning, I saw that she had already woken up and cleaned whatever wasn’t already cleaned.

“Hey” she spoke as I entered the room.

“How was your sleep?”

“Do you know the word ‘amazing’? That’s exactly what it was” she smiled.

“Hm-mh, are you trying to be...um… what do you call that?”

“What do we call what?”

“If I knew why will I ask?” I made a shocked face.

“How will I tell if I don’t know?”

I sighed. “Oh right…”

she smiled and took my hand. “So Mr. Smith”

I looked at her and raised my eyebrow. “Hm?”

“You look so cute” she made puppy eyes. “Really”

I looked at her shocked. Cute? No one ever said that to me. None.

“Cute?” I asked her again to confirm.

“Yup”

“But how?”

“what how, huh?”

I smirked and she looked into my eyes. I looked back into her beautiful hazel eyes. “Vincent. You have changed so much and I love you more every single day”

I kept a hand on her face. “Ashy, you have changed me and I love you for it more every day too”

We both blushed a little and smiled. I didn’t know when I changed this much. From being a cold-hearted Mafia boss to someone whose heart melts just if she calls my name lovingly. I don’t know what magic she knows or what trick she plays, but I am so captivated by her words and smiles and I can never ever escape. I don’t know how to say this even, but she is and has become the most important person in my life in the shortest span of time. I don’t see anyone else since I have had her.

She may think of herself as an ordinary girl but an ordinary girl can never have this effect on me. I am so in love with her.

The doorbell rang and we separated while I saw her still blushing. I opened the door and the man brought breakfast and kept it on the table.

He left the room and I locked the door. “So my blushing queen”

She looked at me and blushed harder. “Oh Vincent stop it”

“Haha,” I laughed. “Alright”

We sat down and started having lunch. The doorbell rang yet again and she went to open it.

“Ashy? who is there?”

“V-Vincent…”
