Chapter 81 - Eighty-one : His Own Personal Sunshine (1/2)
Nik's POV
What was I even thinking coming into her room yesterday? See her once more before going to bed? kiss her goodnight? or was I expecting something more?
Fine I'll be truthful, I was expecting something to happen last night . Like damn it, it has been so long since I did it. Initially, I could pride myself on being sexually active but now I was probably turning into a monk - all because of one woman.
Sometimes I would sit and let my thoughts wander and then keep wondering what makes Maya so special? why I felt so drawn to her? what makes her so different from the others? why do I like her more than the others?
Is it the way she smiles? or the way she pouts her lips and the legendary vein standing out on her forehead whenever she's angry? or the way she falls into ridiculous situations while I'll be the one to rescue her always ?
But one thing was for sure, with her around there was never a dull moment. It's like she's my own personal sunshine; a sun made specially for me and no one was going to take her away from me. Not now, not ever.
I took a glance at my wristwatch, picked up a magazine and sat down on the chaise lounge
instead of pacing up and down the room without purpose.
My mind was awhirl with thoughts even though I was flipping through the pages of the magazine featuring fashion shows and models clad in bikinis barely covering some essential parts.
Perhaps because I was hypersensitive, my ears perked up the moment I heard a creaking sound. I glanced up immediately the door to the fitting room slowly opened .
Tossing the magazine to the side, I stood up the moment Maya came into view and my breath stopped without even realizing it.
It seems the world froze for a while as I stared at the goddess standing a few meters away from me - she looked unbelievably beautiful in it and I was right to pick that outfit.
Maya was wearing a red strapless satin sweep gown that had a high slit at the side exposing a bit of toned thigh. The dress emphasized her lean waist and though it was not pouring at her feet but it would've be if she wasn't wearing a matching stiletto heel.
Her hair was picked and pulled to one side before braiding, giving it a voluminous look while leaving a few tendrils hanging at the other side of her face.
The makeup done on her face was flawless especially with that lustful colour on her lips that made my below tighten and my pulse to quicken.
It seems I stared for too long cause Maya was beginning to shift on her feet uncomfortably while scratching the back of her head, eyes staring everywhere but me.
I didn't even realize when a smile tilted my lips and I covered the distance between us with just two steps, reaching out an arm to pull her closer.
”You look incredibly beautiful ” I said to her and she blushed in reply.
Maya has always being pretty but now she was dressed up and all, her features were amplified, not to mention she looked hot and elegant in that dress.
But suddenly I felt a pang of jealousy hit me, If I could find her pretty and considering the fact I have an eye for beauty , then the men at the party would definitely ogle her on sight.
