I finish reading the papers while I heard soft music being played from the living room. Violet left a few minutes after what happened and has been in there ever since. On the other hand, I continued working and looking at Liam's worksheets. I was already tired but I kept my eyes peeled for a few more minutes.
Finishing the last sheet, I check my mail again but nothing new is found. I turn off my computer wanting to spend some alone time with Violet.
I found her seating on the floor with my white shirt still around her. Her hair was pulled on a messy bum on top of her head while her eyes are fixed to the New York sight of my window. I sometimes wonder what she finds that appealing of the view because to me her beauty is more magic than thousands of views.
"Did you miss me?" I ask.
She turns her head to face me with a smile on her face. I smile too and as soon as I do, her cheeks turn bright red probably because she remembered what happened earlier on.
"Not that much." She answers.
"I feel offended." I say.
"Come here." She says motioning me to come closer.
I walk to her and sat down on the floor next to her. She sighs with a smile and I frown. She moves and sits in between my legs before making my arms sneak around her waist. She rested her head on my chest and I smelled her hair with its delicious coconut aroma.
"I like this so much." She says.
For a moment I ask myself whether she is talking about how much she loves the views from my apartment or us being together like this.
"I mean us together." She says obviously realizing of my doubts.
"Oh right." I say.
"You are such a dork." She says with a grin.
My eyes look down at her and she kisses my cheek. My lips form into a big smile and I pull her closer to my chest.
We sat there in the same position for hours. We talked about anything and everything. We laughed, kissed and hugged all that time. Lastly, we saw how the sunshine disappeared and the night began to set in.
"Are you staying the night?" I ask her.
"I shouldn't but I don't want to go." She says.
"Then stay." I say before pecking her shoulder.
"I will stay but I will have to get up early. I have to teach tomorrow morning." She says.
"Okay. I leave early everyday anyways." I say.
"Good." She says.
"You should have some clothes and stuff here that way you could go straight to work instead of going back home before working." I say.
"Is Mr. CEO really asking me to have some of my stuff here?" She asks with widened eyes.
"Well, yeah." I say rubbing my neck shyly.
"Harry, I really appreciate that." She says before pecking me on the lips.
"I will bring some of my stuff here. Just some old clothes for sudden nights in, nothing more, don't worry."
"I don't worry." I say and I peck her again.
She laughs and I peck her again. She keeps on laughing and I keep on pecking her. I don't know for how long we did that but we decided to stop when my stomach growl.
"Let's make some dinner, shall we?" I suggest.
"We shall." She says with a smile.
She gets up from the floor and offers her hand to me to help me up. I take her and with help from my side she pulled me up. I laughed at her poor attends before I was finally on my feet.
We make it to the kitchen and she began to look through the fridge for something to eat.
"What about some noodles with vegetables?" She suggests.
"Sounds good." I say.
"You cut the vegetables and I prepare the noodles?" She asks.
"Perfect." I add with a smile.
I began cutting vegetable while she prepared the noodles. It was weird to be cutting vegetables or working in the kitchen for that matter. I am used to Marine's cooking and on her free day aka on Sundays, I will always eat take out or call for a pizza. It is nice to be cooking though, especially if it is with Violet.
She really brings the best of me. I am still surprised I suggested her to left some of her things here. I haven't even asked her to be my girlfriend officially but I know I want to now. She makes me be better and it been way too long since the last time I felt this way.
Not long after, the food was ready and she put the noodles and vegetables in two plates while I choose a nice wine from my collection. I poured a nice amount in two glasses and settled the table for the two of us.
Wanting to make it more special, I decided to light up lots of candles around the room and turn the lights off. The light coming from the outside through the window made the room lighted up enough.
"Wow! This looks so romantic." She says as she carries the two plates.
"Thanks but it's all thanks to you." I say.
"Shut up." She says.
I pulled her chair for her and she thanked me with a smile. I took a seat on her side and we began to eat in silence.
"What have you done all day while I was on the office?" I ask trying to make conversation.
"I sat in front of the window of your living room and draw it again. Then I watched a movie and went back to watch the city through the window." She says.
"You love that window." I point out.
"I do. I just enjoy seeing the city change in front of my eyes." She says with a big smile.
"I love to come into the living room and see you there. By now I always know where to find you." I say.
"Sorry. I can't help it. I feel attached to the view." She says.
"I'm glad to hear that. You can come and watch from that window whenever you want to." I say.
"Thanks." She says.
We talk for the rest of the dinner and soon we are done. She gets up to take the dishes to the kitchen but I insist on doing it. She sighs after a while of arguing in between laughs and 'let me do it'. I put all the dishes on the kitchen before going back to the living room where she now is seated on the sofa.
Her glass of wine is on her hand as she sips on it. I walk to her with mine in my hands too before I settled it on the coffee table. I sat down next to her and smile at her. She learns down and kisses me.
I kiss back wrapping my arms around her waist to pull her closer. She smiles into the kiss before we pull away. She sets her glass of wine on the coffee table next to mine and then snuggles into my chest. Her head rests on my chest as my fingers go through her soft hair.
In that moment I realize how much I love this. How much I want her in my life and how much I want to call her mine.
"Violet." I say.
"Yeah?" She looks up at me.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" I ask.
