I didn't have much choice since he started pulling me towards the back door. I laughed like a silly teenager.
Two minutes later we were in the gazebo by the pool.
I smiled at him, "You're good with your feet. I bet your parents sent you to dance class when growing up."
He laughed, "Yeah. They did." He pulled me towards the bench. He sat down then pulled me in his lap. "I didn't know you were a dancer."
I gave him a cheeky smile. "Well guess what? You don't know a lot about me."
"Well, I intend to find." He placed his head at my neck and started to kiss it. I yelp as he touches my ticklish spot. I quickly jump off his lap.
I laughed and placed my hand where he was kissing. "I'm ticklish there."
He laughed, "So you're ticklish." he paused and then came to stand in front of me. "So many things to learn." His face was so close to mine I could hear and feel his very breath. He gently placed his lips on mine while his hands wrapped securely round my waist. I kissed him back with the same passion I was receiving, my hands on his shoulders.
Gosh!
I've become wanton.
Never in my life I would be so eager to kiss a man.
Never in my life had I felt such chemistry either.
My body left like electricity was going through it.
He made my body melt.
After a few minutes of sharing salvia, we slowly pulled apart for air. I looked in his eyes not sure what to say exactly. My heart was beating a mile a minute and so was his.
"What are we doing?" I asked myself, but Alexander heard and answered.
"I don't know."
I shifted my gaze to light that was shinning against the pool waters. It was beautiful.
Alexander lifts his hands to my face and turn my head to make me look at him, "I don't know what we're doing, and I definitely don't know how I'm feeling but I know I've never felt like this before."
I felt chills pass through me, "I've never felt like this before either." Not even with my ex who I was gonna marry.
"I like you."
I smiled, "I like you too."
So, it was possible. A billionaire like Alexander could exactly like a sad girl like me, but why?
He smiled, "We have to get back to the guests. There are still some persons l would like you to meet." He folded his hands in my mine and we started walking back to the cottage.
All I could think about was our kiss and the fact that he told me he like me. Which me feel 100% better than how I was feeling before. At least I know my feeling weren't one sided. But he did say like and like could mean so many things. What if he meant he liked me as a friend? Nah, a man doesn't kiss his friend the way he kissed me. That was a lover's kiss. But we weren't lovers either. So, what are we?
We managed to slip back inside without any attention. For the rest of the night Alexander introduced me to persons who had made donations to the foundations for years, some of which were orphans themselves. At nine thirty he made his speech and managed to tell a story. He also announced that the amount that was donated tonight. It was fifteen million. Two million more than last year. I was amazed that how much was raised. I always looked from the outside saying mean things about the rich but maybe they weren't so bad after all. Fifteen million dollar!
By ten thirty we closed the door behind the last couple.
I smiled up at him, "Congratulations. Fifteen million dollars! Wow. You save millions of lives."
"Thanks." He said was a big grin.
"You're a great person." He was.
When I came here I was a depressed soul and between him and Henrique I felt revived from the sickness.
"So are you."
I shrugged, "Let's go check on Henrique."
He nodded and follow behind me as I walked toward the stairs.
"Did I tell you how amazing you looked in this dress?"
I giggled and continued walking, "I think you did."
"I'm sure all the males tonight were going wide at your body and your beauty."
"Aren't you full of words?"
He laughed.
"Don't look at my butt." I said I was started walking up the stairs with him at my tail.
"That made me look even more."
I couldn't stop the giggle from coming out.
When I reached the top stairs, I didn't wait for him, I walked to Henrique's room. I pushed the door open, the nanny was on her phone. She lifted her head and looked at me.
"He's sleeping."
I can see that. I wanted to reply but I knew it was rude. Why am I so possessive over this baby? Because I loved him to pieces.
As I walked over to his crib, Alexander appeared at the door.
I brushed the small traces of hair off his face and bent to kiss his forehead. I lifted my head to Alexander piercing glaze. I smiled at him then turn to look at the nanny. "You can go now."
Alexander wanted further in the room and shook his head, "Nah. A room is already prepared for her. You need a long rest today you've been looking after him by yourself you must be exhausted."
"I don't mind."
He smiled and looked down at the baby. "I know you don't, but you need some sleep."
He bent and kissed him as well, "Come on, I'm taking you t bed."
I blushed at his words. I knew that's not what he meant but it was still sweet and charming.
