Joanna took a step forward, her eyes glued on the glowing walls.
On the walls hung decorative lights, flowers and paintings of butterflies.
Apart from the flowers used in decorating the walls, fresh flowers in a vase were kept on a stand in four corners of the room.
Joanna paused admiring the room and glanced at her right-hand side when her eyes landed on the picture frames of her and Kayden hanging on the wall.
"The house looks spectacular but… why is our picture here? What about the landlady?" Joanna asked the question which has been on her mind ever since she got his message.
Kayden let out a sharp breath as he held his chest. "Thank goodness you like it. I was so worried you wouldn't like it…,"
"You managed to create a perfect dreamy scenery that any girl would do anything to have so why were you worried?" Joanna asked with her hands spread in the air.
"Also, the Kay I know is the type to be very confident about everything he does…,"
"Of course, I am still that Kay you know but this is our very first official date. I wanted everything to be perfect in all sense…,"
"And you have managed to bewitch me with this splendid atmosphere, are you happy?" Joanna asked playfully. She lifted her hand and tapped him on the shoulder.
Her eyebrows widened when they landed on his bare chest. She swallowed a lump as her eyes fluttered repeatedly.
Earlier she was so fascinated by the beauty of the room after the blindfold was taken off. She didn't take a proper look at the fine species standing in front of her.
[Snapped out of it Anna… you can't let yourself fall into his tricks. Don't forget your plans and what is at risk if you can't manage to seduce him and make him say the GOLDEN WORDS]
Joanna scolded herself inwardly. With great difficulty, she looked away from his tempting bare chest.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLuckily for Joanna, he didn't see the way she ogled at his bare chest or else she would have been in deep trouble with her shameless man.
"Are you really bewitched?" Kayden asked the corner of his lips lifted to reveal an evil smile.
"If yes, then how bewitched are you?" He tried to nudge her by the shoulder but Joanna walked away.
She walked closer to where the painting of a butterfly hung on the right wall.
Staring at the butterfly at this close distance, there was so much life in the painting. It immediately pulled her into painting.
She closed her eyes and got teleported into the painting.
The chirping of birds, the cool breeze and the sensation of the warm sun against her skin made her feel as though she was on a fantasy island; a fantasy island built only for her.
"Do you like the painting? Does it make you feel as though you are inside the painting?" Kayden asked as he touched her by the shoulder.
The warm feeling of his hand against her bare body made Joanna's eyes flutter open.
"It's enchanting. It was as if a spell was cast on the painting, causing anyone staring at the painting to get pulled into the scene," replied Joanna, her eyes still glued on the painting.
"He is a great painter. I just needed to tell him what I wanted and he gave me exactly what I wanted and even went as far as exceeding my expectations. He made the painting come alive," Kayden said, his eyes glued to her face.
"Do you like butterflies?" Joanna asked as she shifted her attention to his face.
Her gaze faltered when she saw how intently he looked at her.
"How come I didn't know about this?" Joanna took another proper look at his face.
This was his face that she was familiar with. Although his disguise wasn't terrible, she just realised that she had missed seeing his real face.
"I don't dislike butterflies but this painting is made for you and it's gonna be hung in our bedroom when we get married," Kayden said, averting his gaze to the painting hanging on the wall.
"Is it for me?" Joanna asked. "If it is for me then why is it hanging in the landlady's room?" Confusion masked her pretty face as she waited for his explanation.
"Yeah, it's for you. I recall you said years ago that butterflies were your favourite animal in the world," Kayden said, his lips curled into a beautiful smile as he stared into space.
"I can still recall your reply when I asked you why it was your favourite animal in the world…,"
"I recall mentioning that once when I was ten years old and you still remembered that?" Joanna asked, surprised that Kayden remembered such trivial things she said when she was a child.
"Of course I do. Everything you said to me whenever we are together is locked up in my memory…," Kayden trailed. He brought his gaze back to her face.
"Although I can't promise to give you freedom which is one of the characteristics of butterflies that you love so much I promise that you will be the only woman I will forever love," Kayden said, his passionate eyes interlocked with hers.
He extended his hands and took her hands in his.
"I will love you and devote my life to loving and making you happy. I will protect you from all dangers…,"
"Kay, this…," Joanna tried to free her hands but his grip on her hands became firmer.
"Joan, though I can't promise to give you the exact life of a butterfly I promise to make sure you never get bullied or lack anything throughout your life," Kayden said as he stroked her hands passionately.
"Please give me a chance to be the man who will stand by your side and share thick and thin with you forever hmm," Kayden was very hopeful as he stared into her eyes.
Maybe the reason she always rejected him was that she considered him out of reach, that is what he guessed after a lot of thinking.
Now that he has reduced himself to this, he was hoping that she had felt his love and how far he is willing to go for her.
He wished that she wouldn't think that he was still that man who was out of her reach.
