83 Unconditional Love (1/2)

Alex pulled her to him and hugged her tightly. Zunnie felt like the luckiest woman in the room. Being in Alex's arms as he swayed to the music in the background filled her with love.

”What number did you have?” She asked him curiously. Thinking it was a huge coincidence.

”Ah, I don't have one.” His soft and husky voice said over her head.

”Then how come you're here with me?”

”That's because no-one is allowed to hold you like this except me.”

Zunnie blushed to his response; ”Ha-ha you are greedy indeed.”

Alex's confident and charming words sent her heart into sweet chaos. She pressed her body against his to show her approval. Her ear was resting on his chest and she could clearly hear his heart beating. The rhythmic thump, thump, thump was the most harmonious melody she had ever heard.

Zunnie closed her eyes, breathed in his subtle yet intoxicating scent and let him leisurely meander her body around the dance floor. She loved this feeling.

It was an innocuous, enchanting and contenting feeling and she didn't want it to end.

”How can I not be when you look so amazing tonight?”

”You're right.”

The music came to an end and her father's voice was heard again.

”Ah, what a lovely tune. Everyone looks so beautiful tonight. Thank you for coming and Merry Christmas to all. I promise this will be my last time speaking so you can drink and be merry.”

Everyone in the room laughed and applauded.

”Many of you may not know that I am the father to two lovely children. A handsome young man Eyan and a gorgeous daughter Zunnie. I love them dearly and even though their mom is no longer with us, they have done beautifully. I must have done something right.” Her father chuckled along with the audience.
