Irresistible Love
Chapter 8: 8
For the umpteenth time, I looked at myself in the mirror to check my look. Nervousness glide up my body as I looked into my reflection. I was wearing a royal blue with thigh slit dress for the evening. Alex had told me that he would be taking me out on a date today. But it wasn't the first time that he made me such a promise. All those previous promises were not fulfilled and that was the only reason why our relationship turned out to be like this.
I found myself pacing around my room as I waited for his car. I looked up towards the wall clock to check the time and it read seven in the evening.
"It's already seven. I guess he is no-" my little conversation was stopped in the middle when I had the doorbell ringing. Immediately a smile broke onto my face as I ran up to the door and quickly made sure to fix my hair and dress before inhaling deeply and slowly I opened the door only to face a person whom I didn't even recognize. The smile faded away from my face as I looked around searching for the person whom I wanted to see but found no one except the guy standing in a tailored black suit before me.
"Yes?" I asked giving him a small smile.
He smiled showing his dimple as he brought his hand forward and handed me a bouquet of roses and a small card in it. Before I could ask him about it he bowed his head and left the place with me standing there with the bouquet in my hand. Inhaling the fragrance of the freshly plucked roses I smiled as I opened that small card placed in the bouquet to read: Beautiful flowers for a beautiful lady ;)
"What?" I chuckled reading the cheesy lines.
"What's wrong with him?" I muttered as I looked at the bouquet in my hand with a smile plastered on my face.
"Nothing's wrong with me" a voice spoke up and that made me squeal startled when I saw none other than Alex standing before me as he buttoned his suit and smiled seeing my reaction.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you," he apologized and I shook my head no.
"No. It's okay. I was just caught off guard,"
"You look beautiful today," he said out all of a sudden and like a flash, I looked up at him surprised for the second time of the day.
"Why do you look so surprised?" he raised an eyebrow to which I shrugged my shoulders and smiled back in reply.
"Wait! So you want to tell me that this is the first time, I have ever complimented you?" he asked and I narrowed my eyes at him in reply.
"What? What a liar! I have done it before-"
"When?" I asked and he was cut off in the middle as he held his collar and tried to remember.
"Oh..." was the only thing that came out of his mouth as he recognized his mistake.
"I'll try to pay attention to all these from now on," I heard him mutter but that made me chuckle.
"It's okay. You don't have to," I said as I walked back in and placed the bouquet in a vase.
"So did you like the flowers?" he asked as he followed me inside and I looked back at him and nodded my head yes.
