Chapter 2 - Together

The drive home was completely silent.Comfortably silent. He drove with one hand on the steering wheel and the other on my lap. Every once in a while he would take his hand off my lap , using one or two controls but always returning it to my lap.I think I'm starting to hate vintage cars because that hand should remain permanently on me. I blushed at my thoughts and turned to face the window, hoping to avoid getting caught with the little smile on my face. From the side mirror I could count three or four black sedans following us. It would be useless for me to think he didn't bring bodyguards. Soon enough our home came into view. It was a modest house with three stories and over thirty rooms. Fine, it was a mansion. At my request, he had this house painted a lovely cream colour and gold finishings. I loved this man who would do anything for me. We walked inside only to be welcomed by most of our staff. I had been expecting his arrival for days now, so it was no surprise when he came home with me. We walked straight to our room, asking Maria to send our food up. He opened the door, ushering me in and following immediately. Once the door was closed he grabbed me and kissed me passionately. I chuckled against his lips knowing how much self control it took him to wait till this point. Finally, after so long of being apart (2 months actually) we were together. A knock on the door interrupted us earning a growl from him. "Alexander Wilson, don't tell me you want to skip lunch" I teased, opening the door to let Maria in. "I'm not skipping lunch" he replied "I'm just having something that's not on the menu or on a plate ". I blushed knowing he was referring to me. Maria left quickly with an instruction from Alex to have no one disturb us. "eat up darling" he said "you will need your strength ". I blushed again , "could you stop teasing me ? " I spat at him. "Teasing? , I'm not teasing you darling. I'm only stating the truth" he said with a smirk on his face. Well, two can play that game. I walked up to him looking straight in his eyes. "I missed you" I whispered, "I missed you too" he replied. I leaned in for a kiss and just as our lips were about to meet, I turned away and spoke loudly "I'm famished!", A smirk playing on my lips "could we eat darling ? " I asked pouting "we could do that later, I'm really hungry". I sat down, picked up an apple from the tray and bit into it. He seemed to forget, I always won whenever we were together.
