Chapter 313 - Fit like a glove (1/2)

The car arrived at Harbourfront ten minutes later. Alaric carried Aleksis' bag in one hand and held her hand in the other. They headed toward his catamaran ship which now looked much more modern than the previous one.

Alaric's two men helped carry their belongings and a cooler which contained food and drinks supplies for them to enjoy on board. After everything was prepared, they said goodbye and returned to the mansion.

After arranging the clothes in the cabin and the food in the kitchen, Alaric prepared to navigate the ship to sail the sea. Aleksis stood beside him enjoying the evening breeze and the sunset in the west.

It felt wonderful...

If she could freeze time, she wanted to stay in this moment forever...

After they were in the middle of the sea, their feelings turned solemn. There was no one around them, only the sea and the night sky. They could see billions of stars from the Milky Way and various other galaxies that night. It looked so beautiful and it made them feel as if they were in a dream.

”Are you hungry?” Alaric asked. ”Do you want to help me prepare dinner?”

Aleksis nodded happily. She was already getting hungry. Alaric went down to the kitchen and heated several cooked dishes in the microwave. Aleksis followed him and prepared cutlery and wine.

She placed a picnic blanket on the deck and arranged their cutlery there. A few minutes later, Alaric came with a few dishes arranged on a tray and helped organize their dinner. He then took a few candles from the cabin, lit them, and placed them in the middle of the table.

”Wow... this is so romantic!! Candle-light dinner!” Aleksis exclaimed in admiration. Now she believed that Alaric was actually a romantic man.

Ha... it's such a pity that his talent was wasted because he had never had a girlfriend.

Aleksis was determined to make the most of this. Ah, Alaric had just given her flowers, and now they were having a simple candle-light dinner under the stars...

She could not stop admiring the beauty of this moment.

They ate while chatting lightly. They both still limit the topic of discussion around general matters, because both Aleksis and Alaric still felt the need to hide their true identities.

I don't know when we will be honest with each other... thought Aleksis. She knew that sooner or later she would have to reveal to Alaric that she was an Alchemist, the daughter of the Alchemist clan leader who was very powerful, and that she was an immortal.

At the same time, Alaric thought about when he could tell Aleksis the truth about who he was and show his real face. He was carefully considering his options. There was a possibility that he would never reveal his true identity...

They had dinner quietly and in a romantic atmosphere. They never had a lover before, and both Alaric and Aleksis were surprised to see how easy they could get along after just one day.
