41 COMFORT ME (2/2)

”Mhm, but it's too soon. I still have to tell my dad and we're not married yet.” She ran her hand through his hair then bent her head to kiss Alex on the forehead.

He wrapped his arms around her tiny waist and fell onto the bed with her. He kissed her passionately until they both were out of breath. Alex held onto Zunnie and nibbled her cheeks until he fell asleep with her in his arms.

When she attempted to free herself from his embrace, Alex woke up.

”Where are you going?” He was a light sleeper so when Zunnie moved in his arms, he slowly opened his eyes and realized he had fallen asleep.

”I'm hungry.”

”Okay, get dressed. I'll take you out to eat.”

They had never gone out together and Zunnie was a bit worried. She wasn't ready for people to know about their relationship considering it had just begun blossoming.

After Alex left her office after lunch earlier, some of her workers were still star-strucked and couldn't believe their boss and the heir of Arch.deZIgns were acquaintances. Zunnie had only smiled when they ranted about how attractive Alex had been in person. Too bad they had no knowledge that she was about to get married to him; they would certainly be crushed.

She had no awareness of how popular Alex was. So, when her secretary Marina came to her office to find out more about Alex, she had been shocked. Coming back to her senses she asked,

”Can we go somewhere with fewer socialites?”

”Mhm,” Alex agreed, understanding what she meant. He wanted to protect her as well, hence he would do anything to please her.

He drove Zunnie's Volvo to a quiet Italian restaurant twenty minutes from Lake-view Condos. It was a great choice because there weren't many people when they walked in.

”Mr. Zi it's good to see you again. Young madam welcome.” A woman who seemed to be in her early fifties greeted them.

She escorted Alex and Zunnie to an exquisite private room over-looking a marina bay. The minute they sat down the chef came to greet them. Zunnie was surprised with the treatment and said to Alex after the chef disappeared;

”Do you come here often?”

”Yeah, I own it,” Alex replied proudly to which Zunnie smiled affectionately.
