Chapter 12 You Make Me Feel Special
Lavanya thought for a moment and said to herself, “Come on Lavanya, maybe the reason he wants you in his life is because he thinks he can find his lost happiness with you. You should give him a chance and trust him.”
She placed her hand on his hand and said, “I promise to always stay with you.”
They stood there, looking at the Thames River in silence, and soon the sky started turning dark. Eden looked at the sky and said, “Let’s ride the London Eye and enjoy London’s best view.”
They went to the London Eye, and Eden went to buy the tickets. There was a lot of crowd so he decided to buy fast track tickets because he didn’t want Lavanya to wait. He held her hand, and soon they were sitting inside the capsule.
After a few minutes, the ride started, and Lavanya closed her eyes. Eden looked at her and said, “You should keep your eyes open.”
“I am a little afraid of heights.” She said with her eyes tightly shut.
“Why didn’t you tell me before?”
“I thought you would stop me from riding the London Eye.” She said, and he chuckled.
He held her hand and asked, “Do you trust me?”
She nodded, and he helped her to stand. He moved with her near the glass window of the capsule. He held her from behind, wrapping his arms around her waist and whispered in her ears slowly, “Open your eyes”
She slowly opened her eyes and got amazed, looking at the breathtaking view in front of her. The entire London was bathed with colorful lights, which looked like colorful stars in the dark sky. The London Bridge and Big Ben looked amazing. The water of the Thames River, which looked dark at night, was shining with the lights falling on it, making it look more beautiful.
She tilted her head to look at Eden. Their faces were inches apart, and his gaze fell on her soft lips. He wanted to taste them but controlled himself. Their ride ended after thirty minutes, and they went to the parking lot. They settled inside the car, and Eden started driving. He looked at Lavanya and found that she was smiling.
He smiled and asked, “Did you enjoy your day?”
She looked at him and said, “I enjoyed it a lot. Thank you.”
“I should be the one thanking you. For the first time in these past fifteen years, I have had so much fun, and it’s all because of you.” He said, and she placed her hand on his looking outside. He smiled as he felt special with her special gesture.
He stopped the car in front of the restaurant near his mansion and said, “We should eat our dinner before going home.”
They went inside and Eden said to the server, “Table for two, please.”
They settled on a table and ordered the food. Their food arrived and they quickly started eating as they both were starving. They finished their dinner soon and Eden paid the bill.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
They reached home and started going upstairs to their rooms. Lavanya was very tired as she was wearing heels, and her feet were hurting.
Eden kissed the back of her hand and left. She entered her room and started massaging her feet after taking off her heels. Amelia knocked on the door of her room and asked “Can I help you with something, Madam?”
“Yes, come in. My feets are hurting. Can you please get me my night suit from the closet?” She asked, and Amelia went into the closet.
Amelia got her the night suit and left. She changed her clothes and was about to go to bed when someone knocked on the door. She opened the door and saw Eden. His hair was wet because he had just taken a shower and he was looking handsome in a red t-shirt and a white shorts. She was continuously looking at him. He cleared his throat, and she moved her eyes from him.
“Can I come inside?”
“Yes, please come.” She moved away from the door, and he entered.
He sat on the couch, and she sat on the bed comfortably. He looked at her and asked, “Aren’t you going to sit beside me?”
“I want to sit beside you, but my feet are hurting because of the heels.” She replied with a pout.
He walked near and checked her feet sitting on the bed. They were a little hard.
“Wait for me here.” He said, and went out of the room. He entered her room again after a few minutes. He went straight into the bathroom, and came out, holding a bucket full of water. He placed the bucket near her bed, and she looked at him in confusion.
“What is this for?”
“You will feel it.” He said and took out a baby size bottle from his pocket. He sprinkled something from the bottle into the bucket and a strong fragrance hit her nostrils.
“Soak your feet in the water.” He instructed. She put her feet inside the bucket. She felt the warmness of the water which made her feel relieved. Soon, she felt much better, and her feet were no longer hurting. He enjoyed looking at her.
“What did you sprinkle in this? It’s so soothing.”
“Essential oil.” He replied and silently looked at her.
The water in the bucket started getting cold. She took out her feet from the bucket and said, “Thank you very much.”
“Welcome.”
“Why did you come to my room?”
“I just wanted to spend some more time with you.” He said and she smiled.
“I think we have spent lots of time together today.” She said and he stared at her.
He moved closer to her to hold her and dipped his face in the crook of her neck.
“You make me feel special.” He whispered in her ear and she felt her heart thumping loudly inside her chest when he wrapped his arms around her.
