Chapter 91 - Romantic Dinner (1/2)

We drove to his house and when we got out of the car he walked to the car's door to open it. The door budged and I realized the floor was filled with rose petals creating a path along the corridor and reaching both his room and the kitchen.

Few candles enlightened the corridor and softly dimmed the house in a romantic atmosphere.

He began to walk through the corridor holding my hand and when we got in the kitchen the table was filled with a huge bouquet and candles.

”Your romanticism always surprises me,” I said in awe admiring the beauty of the table and dimmed in floral scent probably due to the candles.

He smiled and filled our glasses with a prestigious red wine.

”This is just a taste of the amazing night we will spend together.”

He then stood up and went to place the dish on our table serving food to both of us.

”I will pretend I cooked this food and that I didn't have my chef cook it while I was away.” He whispered as a giggle escaped from my mouth.

The rice was strawberry rice with parmesan flakes on it.

”Earlier this morning I was thinking of you tripping that woman,” he shook his head, ”I cannot believe you truly did that. If I told Simon he would remove you from the role of head of the company.” He said sarcastic but I knew deep down he was right.

”Stop it! I regret that gesture!” I complained crying out as I covered my face with my hands in ashamed.

”You're even more beautiful when you're ashamed,” he commented then he cleared his voice and his voice grew more serious.

”Seriously speaking Lily. I hope with time you can learn to trust me and that I will never be like Carl. I would never cheat on you. I never cheated on any other woman and I surely won't do it now that I met someone who can make my heartbeat.”

I smiled, even if being described as someone who could make his heartbeat was thrilling me with joy and love I couldn't stop myself from regretting even more having doubted him.

I had to gain confidence and stop allowing my fear of the past to shake me so much that I couldn't think clearly nor come to my senses turning me into a vulnerable person with such little self-confidence.

”You're right, I promise you I will never behave like that anymore. You only did good things and threatened me well. I have no reasons not to believe you or to doubt your love.”

I took a few more bites of that delicious rice, the sweetness of the strawberry mixed perfectly with the saltiness of the parmesan.

I should suggest to Joanna about that dish and tell her to put it on the menu of the restaurant she worked for.

He served the second course which was beef with vegetables to the side.
