"Mr. Miu!!" I said as he corrected me...."It's Kiu Wai..."
"Uhm...Kiu Wai..." I corrected myself...he looked over at me as we got into the elevator....his facial expression was waiting for me to go on...finish what I wanted to say...
"I think since you have a date...." I paused as he looked at me inquiringly...."uhmmm...plans with Ms. Kung tonite....I think it would be appropriate for me not to join you this evening..." I kinda looked away as I finished up my sentence....
"Mei Ling...you're my personal assistant/bodyguard...I would think it's appropriate for you to be with me everywhere I go...regardless what's the occasion or who I'm with...." he gave me a serious look....
"Yes sir...." I said quietly....He looked straight ahead as the elevator door opened....we stepped out....seriously...how I loathe to be with him when he's with another girl....for some reason I can't stand the idea or the thought of him being with another girl....what am I saying? I'm only his personal assistant/bodyguard...who am I to be upset at him?...I let out a big sigh as I walked beside him...
Mr. Weng, the chauffeur, was waiting for us at the car. It's a black Mercedez benz. I really wanted to sit in the front where a personal assistant/bodyguard would be. But he insisted that I sit in the back with him....the closer I am to him physically, the harder for me to be professional on my job...I dunno....he always give me this vibe...Like he sees me more than just someone working for him one minute...then as just someone who's working for him the next....What in the world am I expecting? To be his girlfriend? Ha! I thought to myself as we were on our way to meet with Ms. Kung at the Fancy Dragon Restaurant, the place where all the rich ppl fine dine.
"Mei Ling....Mei Ling....?" I snapped out of my trance as I finally heard him calling me....actually he was touching my shoulder...shaking me a bit....guess he was talking to me but I didn't hear him....
"Are you alrite?...you seem not like yourself lately..." he said
"Oh ...I'm sorry...what is it you need?" I tried to change the subject...
"How long have you been working for me?" he asked..
"It's almost 2 years now..." I replied looking at him with a puzzled look...
"It's been that long already?" he said....
I smiled..."Yes......Issssss....there a problem?" I asked...
"No...it's just that you have never taken a vacation since you've been working for me have you?" I went on...
"oh.....well...I am your 'personal assistant/bodyguard' so I can't really go far from you can I?" I replied in a joking way...but inside I do wish that I could take a vacation soon....atleast get away from him for sometime to clear my head off these 'unreal' thoughts I have lately....
He just gave a slight smile. The car stop....Mr. Weng opened the door for us. We stepped out in front of the restaurant....We went inside...and surely enough...Mimi Kung was at that very same table waiting for him....
"Kiu Wai..." She greeted him with a flirting smile....oh how I can't stand the way she flirts with him. Then she looked over at my way...."You're surely one loyal employee...where ever KW go...you're always there huh?" she said to me...
"It's my duty..." I replied with a smile....more of a pasted one...She gave me that look....that 'whatever' look...
"I insisted that Mei Ling joined us..." he told her....as he pulled the chair out for me to sit next to him....I looked at him in surprised that he would talk to her that way....coz she's one of his partner's daughter.....a powerful man....
"There is a charity ball tomorrow....want to join me?" she asked him...Pretending like I wasn't even there....
"Charity function? well...I've never miss them..." he replied....She smiled contently...like KW just made a date with her...we spent a little time there for dinner....then we headed back home....yes...home...I live in his house too...since he hired me as his personal assistant/bodyguard, he suggested that I moved in...so whenever he needs me...I'm there....His house...well..more like a mansion is huge....there are practically 7 people living there including me...There is Mr. Weng, the chauffeur, Mrs. Weng, she manage his mansion...and 3 other helpers....him...and me....
The car pulled into the gate as Mr. Weng once again opened the door for us....We walked inside the house...we went upstairs...yes...I stayed upstairs too..in matter of fact..my room is only one door down from his....He insisted that I stayed close by...the truth is that he doesn't really need me a s bodyguard...his karate is far better than mine....I didn't know that until I worked for him for a year....We were attacked by one of his business opponents....I was trying to keep the men away from him...but when I was in danger...he saved me....I was shocked that he fought so well...I did asked him why does he has to hire me after that incident...but he didnt' answer me.... sigh....
"I want you to join me tomorrow at the ball ..." he said before I headed into my room...I turned and looked at him...
"But I thought you're going with Ms. Kung...?" I gave him that puzzled look once again.....but then when I saw that look in his face...the kind that was in the elevator...."Ok...I will..." I said....He slightly nodded his head and we went into our rooms....I took a shower and changed into my pj. Got into my bed..but couldn't sleep...It's been bothering me for sometimes already....I pulled the cover up over my head and told myself to go to sleep....
The next morning...The alarm went off in my room.....It was 7:30 am....I felt so tired.....like I just closed my eyes and morning came already....I got up and took a real hot shower to wake myself up...then got dressed, in a black suit and slacks...as usual...and went down stairs...as usual....Mrs. Weng already have breakfast set on the table for us....He came down from upstairs with his suit on as always....ready to go to the company for work....
Around 5pm...we left the company....but we weren't heading home...he told Mr. Weng to take us to a boutique shop...and picked up a box from there which he already ordered....It's all wrapped up in a gift box....I figured it was for Mimi Kung...then we headed home....
"This is for you..." he said as he handed me the box that he just picke up....I looked at him in puzzled once again...."I'll see you in a bit...the charity ball is at 8pm...." he went into his room....I stood there for a second....still in shock...then I took the box and went into my room....
I took the box into my room...opened it....I was surprised ...it's an evening gown...All black..strapped on one shoulder with a chiffon like scarf flowing down...it's...it's beautiful...I sat there on my bed for a little while...staring at the gown...and wondering what's he's thinking...why giving me this? I just shook my head from all my running away thoughts and sighed....I took a shower and got ready....The gown fitted me like it was made for me...but how does he know my size? I've never thought he pay attention...sigh...I stepped out of my room as I made my way down the stairs...
"Ms. Yung...you look....." Mrs. Weng looked at me surprisingly....she paused....her eyes were wider then usual as she was staring straight at me....
"Do I look bad?" I asked her as she was standing close to the staircase...My face was all worried....
"No..No...you look great....It's just that I've never seen you dressed up before..." she exclaimed..
Then I noticed him...he was sitting at the sofa having tea...I don't know if he looked over at me or not...because he was taking a sip at his tea....
"Ready?" he asked..his face was unchanged...he didn't look surprised to see me in a dress at all....what am I thinking? I'm working for him....as his bodyguard...but NOT really....he doesn't need me...I nodded slightly and we went outside to the car...Mr. Weng was already there waiting for us. KW motioned me into the car first...then he went in with me....Mr. Weng drove off....
"You look beautiful..." his deep yet charming voice broke the silence....but his eyes were still focusing ahead....
"Thank you..." I replied with a half smile....feeling a bit uncomfortable....we got to the function along with many guests. He got out first and offered me his hand. He gently pulled me out of the car and gave me his arm...I looked over at him in confused...He slightly raised his brow...and I threaded my arm into his. We walked in together....
I can feel that there were many pairs of eyes staring our way....I'm sure they were thinking..."What's that girl doing with KW?" But oh well...I'm working now...it's my job...but I really wish that he didnt' do this....make me feel so confused....more than what I am...
"KW!!" she called him...yes...Mimi...with that annoying voice of hers..."OH~!@#$" she was really surprised to see me.....her eyes were like Mrs. Weng...wide opened....I slid me arm out of his quietly...as she yanked him over towards her...."KW...Tony and Margie are here...let's go meet with them.." she pulled him away...he was looking over at me...
"You go ahead...I'm getting a drink..." I told him as he was dragged by Mimi...I gave him a slight...fake smile...
KW was standing a distance from me...he was talking to his old friend Tony Leung and his gf Margie Tsang...and some other girls joined them...along with Mimi...I walked over to the thingytail table and grabbed myself a glass of wine...
(While KW was talking to Tony and the other girls...he keep on looking over at ML direction at the corner of his eyes...he saw several rich guys came up to her ...trying to get to know her)
"Sorry...I'm a bit tired...." I rejected another guy who asked me to dance with him....
"Care to join me?" his voice startled me....I turned around to see him standing right behind me....he put his hand out to take me to the dance floor....What can I say....I placed my tiny hand into his and he led me to the dance floor....and why does it has to be a SLOW song...I tingled at the touch of his hand on my waist....my right hand was all warm in his...how come it feel so rite and wrong at the same time? I really wanted to laid my head into him....but then....I wanted to get away from him....why am I feeling so confused? During our dance...his eyes were focusing on mine....as mine were captured by his....
"May I cut in?" her voice broke the link between us....I moved myself away in courtesy....with a slight nod...I left them....I can sense that he was looking at me as I excused myself....
I went outside for a fresh air....The nite-fall was getting colder...I folding my arms as the wind chill got to me...All of a sudden I felt a warm jacket was placed on my shoulder and around my body...I turned my head to find him....he took off his tux jacket and placed it on me...
"What are you doing out here? It's getting cold...you might get sick.." he said...his voice was so warm and caring....It was one of those few times that I...we...looked into each others eyes..."Something wrong?" he asked...seeing the sadness in my eyes I guess....I didn't have a chance to say anything....though I really want to let it out.....but we were interrupted again...by several rich girls...
"Oh here you are....we've been looking all over the place for you Kiu Wai..." they grabbed him by his arms and pulled him inside....He was looking at my way as they dragged him again....I looked down with a heavy sigh....then at that moment...the waiter came out with a tray of wine and orderves....
"Excuse me...." I called him...."Can you give this back to Mr. Miu please?" I asked him as I took off KW's tux jacket and handed it to the waiter...who looked puzzled...more than me....I took off...
(KW came out looking for her...but she was nowhere in sight...he looked around....)
"Excuse me Mr. Miu...." the waiter said...."There is a young lady asked me to give this to you...." he handed the tux jacket to KW....KW took it from him....he looked puzzled now....
"Do you know where she went?" KW asked the waiter....as he took his jacket in his hand...
"I don't know sir...she gave it to me and left..." the waiter replied.....
"Thank you..." KW said as he motioned the waiter to leave ...
My cellphone rang...but I didn't pick it up...for his name was on the caller ID....I turned it off...and took the taxi home...to his house....
(KW called Mr. Weng ....He picked him up and they headed home...on the way...he was looking outside his window to see if ML is somewhere around...but no trace of her...The car drove through the gate....He opened the door and went into the house....went upstairs to her room....knocking on the door....but no answer....he knocked again...then opened it....ML wa nowhere in sight...)
"Mrs. Weng...have you seen Mei Ling?" he asked her..
"Yes sir...I just saw her like 1/2 an hour ago...she doesn't look too happy...." Mrs. Weng told him...
"Where is she now?" he asked...
"Oh she's not in her room?" Mrs. Weng was surprised....then one of the other helper told him that she saw me with a luggage and left....
(KW motion his hand to relief his helpers....he went into her room and looked into her closet....her clothes were gone....all that left was all the suit outfit which she wore as his bodyguard which he had bought for her....He took off his tux jacket and vest as he loosen his bowtie and sat down on her bed...He kicked on something from underneath the bed...the looked down and saw a box...the pulled it out...inside it was a notebook like diary...He opened it and saw that it has logged date of all the things that happened since she work for him..)
KW leaned back against her headboard and turned on the light at her nightable....he began to read....
***May 8th...Dear Diary....I'm starting a new job today...a day after my B-Day...I was hired by the most popular Bachelor, Miu Kiu Wai, a very famous business youngman...all the magazines and news were about him....my agency told me that I was hired to be his 'personal assistant/bodyguard'...
KW flipped the page as he read further....
***June 18th....We just got back from his Birthday party...it was the biggest party ever...so many available young ladies there...all were swarming by his side....I guess that's normal...a handsome rich guy is always surrounded by beautiful maidens...sigh...
***Dec 12th...It's been more than 6 months already..usually I can read others by a month or two interacting with them....yet...I still can't understand him...something about him....he's different....
Kw flipped several more pages...
***March 10th....I dont' know why...but I've been getting this feeling lately....for some reason...I get this uncomfortable feelings whenever another girl is around him...though his actions is not anything more than his usual self....but for some reason...I get this ache in my heart....
***May 1st...OMG...it's been almost a year working for him...and be around him everyday...and yet...I didn't know he know karate...not only that...his skills is far better than mine....I was so shock....all this time I thought he hired me to protect him....but now...I'm all confused...why even hired me when he can practically protect himself...on the other hand...he protected me...
###Flash back...the scene came in his head###
After he had an disagreeing discussion with one of the BIG boss regarding the business affairs...They were walking through the parking garage to the car....ML walked a few steps behind him...she heard several footsteps running closer towards their direction...she glanced over at one of the polished cars and saw 5 men with weapons coming their way...she turned around and fought with them....protecting her boss...she jumped kicked 2 men onto the ground and was blocking 2 other men....the third one was coming towards her on the side....As she was going to block the third guy...he was kicked on the stomach...ML was surprised...and looked behind her...to find KW...She stood there frozen for a second...
"Watch out!!' he pulled her to the side to dodge the other 2 men who raised their baton to hit her....then he punched and knocked them to the ground...the other 3 men went straight to them...and both of them were fighting back....KW jumped up and did a 360 degree kick and knocked all of them to the ground. He then grabbed ML by her hand and they ran down the stairs as several more men were coming their way....
Mr. Weng saw them running from a far and picked them up....They got into the car as it was driven off....ML was still in her state of shock....she had that puzzled look on her face.....then she turned towards him as asked him..."why?" but...all he gave her was silence...He didn't say a word....
###End Flash back ###
KW read on....
***Though the truth that he's a karate expert surprised me...but for some reason, I felt so happy....I always dream of being with a handsome charming prince who is smart..witty...and definitely can protect me....what am I saying....yeah..I'm with him...but...it wasn't the same...I'm working for him....is more like it....though I get to be by his side everyday...but the distance seems so far....more like it's just a one way street....I don't think he even think of me....
KW was reading as he was leaning back on her headboard...with the nitelight on...it was passed 1AM in the morning....He was so into reading the diary, he didn't hear the footsteps coming towards the door....until the door knob was turned...and opened...then he looked up....
I forgot my diary...I went back to get it...usually at this time he's already in this room...sleeping maybe...I don't really know...but he never come out at this time of night unless there is something for him to be concerned about....My eyes went directly to him and my diary in his hand....I didn't know what to do...I quickly turned around...about to leave..
"Mei Ling...!!" his deep commanding voice....I froze in my track for a split second...."Where are you going?" he asked...I can sense his footstep coming towards me....He was closer and closer....
"I'm here to pick up my book..." I replied without looking at him....as he came near...behind me...I swung around and walked towards my bed...picked up my book....I saw him turned his body as he was looking at my direction....I headed out towards the door....passed right in front of him...His strong masculine hand was holding me by my elbow...My back was facing him....I can feel the redness in my eyes....'These darn high heels...I can't move...!!' I thought to myself....
"Why leave me?" his deep voice ...the voice that always captivated me....I didn't answer him...."I want you to stay..." he went on...
I took a deep breath...."I think it's best for me to go..." I told him...
"why?" he quickly asked...then he turned me around...facing him....though I couldn't look him in the eyes...I can't...I know I won't be able to hold back my tears....already welling up in my eyes...I was still silent..."Don't you want to know why I hired you to be my personal assistant/bodyguar?" he continued....
I slowly looked up at him....that I really wanted to know...that's what been bother me for so long....He paused...
"The first time I saw you...at the karate championship competition 2 years ago....how you look...your skills...your guestures...your beautiful face...I don't know why..but I was captivated...I couldn't get your image out of my mind...I found out you were working for the Personal Secret Service...so I made a request for you...." he told me...I was in a state higher than shock...He looked for me?? I stared at him in disbelieve....my eyes were wide opened....and for some reason he knew what I was thinking....He gave me as warm smile...
"Didn't you feel that I treated you differently than my other helpers?" he slightly raised one of his brow as he tilted his head to look into my eyes...I stood there frozen...staring at him...YES..he does...he did treat me differently....I was closer to him physically than anyone else....He always told me to escort him in every occassion...including this Charity ball...
I stood there ...wordless...I looked into his eyes as he was searching mine....I felt a tingle when his hands were touching my arms...he tigtened his grip as our eyes were still connected...I can feel him pulling me closer. His body was pressing against mine...Before I could even say anything, his lips were on mine. I felt like was on a rollercoaster ride...that feeling in midair...that...that...My diary dropped from my hand onto the floor as we kissed. Then he pulled away slightly and looked into my eyes once again...
"Don't ever leave me...." he told me in his deep manly romantic voice...I couldn't find my voice to say anything...all I did was looking deeply into his eyes... We stood there for a few second....speechless...That look on his face...that expression in his eyes...He picked me up in his arms. Our eyes have never lost contact....I wrapped my arms around his neck as he walked over to my bed and laid me down..
"Marry me..." he whispered in demand as he released me onto the mattress. His body was towering over mine...
"Are you sure?" I asked him in a low tone. He has so many girls who wanted him....and they are beautiful and from a wealthy background too...
"If I'm not...then I wouldn't ask..." he said...still towering over me. With that he moved his face closer to mine and kissed me. This time it was more passionate. I was taken away. That nite sealed our love.
I woke up to find it wasn't a dream. He was really there with me. I looked up at him as he was still sleeping. His arm was wrapped around my body. I smiled shyly yet happily as I laid my head onto his chest. I just wanted to stay there forever...with my Prince Charming...
"Uhm...Kiu Wai..." I corrected myself...he looked over at me as we got into the elevator....his facial expression was waiting for me to go on...finish what I wanted to say...
"I think since you have a date...." I paused as he looked at me inquiringly...."uhmmm...plans with Ms. Kung tonite....I think it would be appropriate for me not to join you this evening..." I kinda looked away as I finished up my sentence....

Mr. Weng, the chauffeur, was waiting for us at the car. It's a black Mercedez benz. I really wanted to sit in the front where a personal assistant/bodyguard would be. But he insisted that I sit in the back with him....the closer I am to him physically, the harder for me to be professional on my job...I dunno....he always give me this vibe...Like he sees me more than just someone working for him one minute...then as just someone who's working for him the next....What in the world am I expecting?

It's getting cold...you might get sick.." he said...his voice was so warm and caring....It was one of those few times that I...we...looked into each others eyes..."Something wrong?" he asked...seeing the sadness in my eyes I guess....I didn't have a chance to say anything....though I really want to let it out.....but we were interrupted again...by several rich girls...
"Oh here you are....we've been looking all over the place for you Kiu Wai..." they grabbed him by his arms and pulled him inside....He was looking at my way as they dragged him again....I looked down with a heavy sigh....then at that moment...the waiter came out with a tray of wine and orderves....
"Excuse me...." I called him...."Can you give this back to Mr. Miu please?" I asked him as I took off KW's tux jacket and handed it to the waiter...who looked puzzled...more than me....I took off...
(KW came out looking for her...but she was nowhere in sight...he looked around....)
"Excuse me Mr. Miu...." the waiter said...."There is a young lady asked me to give this to you...." he handed the tux jacket to KW....KW took it from him....he looked puzzled now....
"Do you know where she went?" KW asked the waiter....as he took his jacket in his hand...
"I don't know sir...she gave it to me and left..." the waiter replied.....
"Thank you..." KW said as he motioned the waiter to leave ...
My cellphone rang...but I didn't pick it up...for his name was on the caller ID....I turned it off...and took the taxi home...to his house....
(KW called Mr. Weng ....He picked him up and they headed home...on the way...he was looking outside his window to see if ML is somewhere around...but no trace of her...The car drove through the gate....He opened the door and went into the house....went upstairs to her room....knocking on the door....but no answer....he knocked again...then opened it....ML wa nowhere in sight...)
"Mrs. Weng...have you seen Mei Ling?" he asked her..
"Yes sir...I just saw her like 1/2 an hour ago...she doesn't look too happy...." Mrs. Weng told him...
"Where is she now?" he asked...
"Oh she's not in her room?" Mrs. Weng was surprised....then one of the other helper told him that she saw me with a luggage and left....
(KW motion his hand to relief his helpers....he went into her room and looked into her closet....her clothes were gone....all that left was all the suit outfit which she wore as his bodyguard which he had bought for her....He took off his tux jacket and vest as he loosen his bowtie and sat down on her bed...He kicked on something from underneath the bed...the looked down and saw a box...the pulled it out...inside it was a notebook like diary...He opened it and saw that it has logged date of all the things that happened since she work for him..)
KW leaned back against her headboard and turned on the light at her nightable....he began to read....
***May 8th...Dear Diary....I'm starting a new job today...a day after my B-Day...I was hired by the most popular Bachelor, Miu Kiu Wai, a very famous business youngman...all the magazines and news were about him....my agency told me that I was hired to be his 'personal assistant/bodyguard'...
KW flipped the page as he read further....
***June 18th....We just got back from his Birthday party...it was the biggest party ever...so many available young ladies there...all were swarming by his side....I guess that's normal...a handsome rich guy is always surrounded by beautiful maidens...sigh...
***Dec 12th...It's been more than 6 months already..usually I can read others by a month or two interacting with them....yet...I still can't understand him...something about him....he's different....
Kw flipped several more pages...
***March 10th....I dont' know why...but I've been getting this feeling lately....for some reason...I get this uncomfortable feelings whenever another girl is around him...though his actions is not anything more than his usual self....but for some reason...I get this ache in my heart....
***May 1st...OMG...it's been almost a year working for him...and be around him everyday...and yet...I didn't know he know karate...not only that...his skills is far better than mine....I was so shock....all this time I thought he hired me to protect him....but now...I'm all confused...why even hired me when he can practically protect himself...on the other hand...he protected me...
###Flash back...the scene came in his head###
After he had an disagreeing discussion with one of the BIG boss regarding the business affairs...They were walking through the parking garage to the car....ML walked a few steps behind him...she heard several footsteps running closer towards their direction...she glanced over at one of the polished cars and saw 5 men with weapons coming their way...she turned around and fought with them....protecting her boss...she jumped kicked 2 men onto the ground and was blocking 2 other men....the third one was coming towards her on the side....As she was going to block the third guy...he was kicked on the stomach...ML was surprised...and looked behind her...to find KW...She stood there frozen for a second...
"Watch out!!' he pulled her to the side to dodge the other 2 men who raised their baton to hit her....then he punched and knocked them to the ground...the other 3 men went straight to them...and both of them were fighting back....KW jumped up and did a 360 degree kick and knocked all of them to the ground. He then grabbed ML by her hand and they ran down the stairs as several more men were coming their way....
Mr. Weng saw them running from a far and picked them up....They got into the car as it was driven off....ML was still in her state of shock....she had that puzzled look on her face.....then she turned towards him as asked him..."why?" but...all he gave her was silence...He didn't say a word....
###End Flash back ###
KW read on....
***Though the truth that he's a karate expert surprised me...but for some reason, I felt so happy....I always dream of being with a handsome charming prince who is smart..witty...and definitely can protect me....what am I saying....yeah..I'm with him...but...it wasn't the same...I'm working for him....is more like it....though I get to be by his side everyday...but the distance seems so far....more like it's just a one way street....I don't think he even think of me....
KW was reading as he was leaning back on her headboard...with the nitelight on...it was passed 1AM in the morning....He was so into reading the diary, he didn't hear the footsteps coming towards the door....until the door knob was turned...and opened...then he looked up....
I forgot my diary...I went back to get it...usually at this time he's already in this room...sleeping maybe...I don't really know...but he never come out at this time of night unless there is something for him to be concerned about....My eyes went directly to him and my diary in his hand....I didn't know what to do...I quickly turned around...about to leave..
"Mei Ling...!!" his deep commanding voice....I froze in my track for a split second...."Where are you going?" he asked...I can sense his footstep coming towards me....He was closer and closer....
"I'm here to pick up my book..." I replied without looking at him....as he came near...behind me...I swung around and walked towards my bed...picked up my book....I saw him turned his body as he was looking at my direction....I headed out towards the door....passed right in front of him...His strong masculine hand was holding me by my elbow...My back was facing him....I can feel the redness in my eyes....'These darn high heels...I can't move...!!' I thought to myself....
"Why leave me?" his deep voice ...the voice that always captivated me....I didn't answer him...."I want you to stay..." he went on...
I took a deep breath...."I think it's best for me to go..." I told him...
"why?" he quickly asked...then he turned me around...facing him....though I couldn't look him in the eyes...I can't...I know I won't be able to hold back my tears....already welling up in my eyes...I was still silent..."Don't you want to know why I hired you to be my personal assistant/bodyguar?" he continued....
I slowly looked up at him....that I really wanted to know...that's what been bother me for so long....He paused...
"The first time I saw you...at the karate championship competition 2 years ago....how you look...your skills...your guestures...your beautiful face...I don't know why..but I was captivated...I couldn't get your image out of my mind...I found out you were working for the Personal Secret Service...so I made a request for you...." he told me...I was in a state higher than shock...He looked for me?? I stared at him in disbelieve....my eyes were wide opened....and for some reason he knew what I was thinking....He gave me as warm smile...
"Didn't you feel that I treated you differently than my other helpers?" he slightly raised one of his brow as he tilted his head to look into my eyes...I stood there frozen...staring at him...YES..he does...he did treat me differently....I was closer to him physically than anyone else....He always told me to escort him in every occassion...including this Charity ball...
I stood there ...wordless...I looked into his eyes as he was searching mine....I felt a tingle when his hands were touching my arms...he tigtened his grip as our eyes were still connected...I can feel him pulling me closer. His body was pressing against mine...Before I could even say anything, his lips were on mine. I felt like was on a rollercoaster ride...that feeling in midair...that...that...My diary dropped from my hand onto the floor as we kissed. Then he pulled away slightly and looked into my eyes once again...
"Don't ever leave me...." he told me in his deep manly romantic voice...I couldn't find my voice to say anything...all I did was looking deeply into his eyes... We stood there for a few second....speechless...That look on his face...that expression in his eyes...He picked me up in his arms. Our eyes have never lost contact....I wrapped my arms around his neck as he walked over to my bed and laid me down..
"Marry me..." he whispered in demand as he released me onto the mattress. His body was towering over mine...
"Are you sure?" I asked him in a low tone. He has so many girls who wanted him....and they are beautiful and from a wealthy background too...
"If I'm not...then I wouldn't ask..." he said...still towering over me. With that he moved his face closer to mine and kissed me. This time it was more passionate. I was taken away. That nite sealed our love.
I woke up to find it wasn't a dream. He was really there with me. I looked up at him as he was still sleeping. His arm was wrapped around my body. I smiled shyly yet happily as I laid my head onto his chest. I just wanted to stay there forever...with my Prince Charming...
