I brought my hand to my chest and slowly took a deep breath while looking into the mirror. My reflection stared into mine and I can say that I looked beautiful, the gold glitter dusted around my eyes and my hair in soft waves, my lips tinted with red lip stain. My fingertips touched my cheeks and I thought back to the day when I was in pool and thought of zion and the way he saw me when I was blushing something in his eyes when I blushed made his eyes sparkle and there was joy in his eyes but overall there was pride. So I didn't want to risk the chance of seeing it because I came to the conclusion that I would blush no matter what when he was near me.

What can I do ? He is the one I'm in love with.

When I was ready I went outside the second I stepped out, my heart started to beat faster, knowing that I would see zion. I know this wasn't a date but going together for this event made me burst into joy. I was feeling so giddy. Waiting for this day felt like eternity but now it is here I felt like I was not ready.

Here I'm going completely naked with my feelings with a boy. I don't even know if he felt the same.

I took a deep breath and pushed away all the negative thoughts. I'm gonna spend my day with a boy I love and that's all that matters and that's all I need.

While I descended the stairs I saw Zion's back was facing me. He was talking to someone, he was wearing a crisp black suit even his back was so well built.

"Yeah.. No I don't need a driver tonight I will drive myself for this event..... Okay.... That's good.. Yeah yeah cancel it....

When I finally stepped down I cleared my throat.

His head quickly turned back and he took a double take and when he clearly saw me his eyes widened and his hands froze.

"Uh?... Yeah.. Mm mm. Yes" he then slowly brought his hand down but his eyes never left me.

I smiled and lifted my dress walking towards him, his eyes widened and I saw his breath hitch.

"Hey" I said with a soft smile on my lips.

He blinked rapidly and cleared his throat.

"Hi.." His voice cracked and he cleared his throat again while I let out a small smile.

"Hey" he said

"Hi" I laughed, he turned his head to the side and his Adam apple bobbed up and down.

I was about to ask why he wasn't talking when he turned his eyes towards me and looked down at me with admiration. I was caught off guard by the way his eyes were showing so much emotion, so gentle, so loving so much.....

Can it be?

"Felicity...he said softly and slowly grabbed my hand the way his hand holding me said that he wanted to know that i'm here.

"You look so beautiful"

Nothing could have prepared me for this even though I waited and I knew he would say this but I didn't know he would say it like this with this much emotion. The way he said it, it was like he said to me and me alone, so private and so very beautiful.

"Thank you Zion, do you like this dress?" I asked.

He nodded and took a few steps back to get a better look.

"It's amazing, the wait is worth it," I smiled.

"So...shall we go? '' he asked, extending his hand and seemed a little nervous.

"Yes," I said, placing my hand on his outstretched hand. He let out a contemptuous smile and grabbed my hand leading me to the front.

"Zion stop!"

He stopped abruptly and turned towards me.

"What happened"

I didn't say anything and searched for my phone.

"We have to take a pic"

"Sure," he said with a small laugh.

I looked around the room and found a full length mirror and walked towards it. I then stood before it and Zion beside me he clasped his hand together in the front and smiled into the mirror. I slightly turned my body and took a picture.

"Now we will leave," I said happily.

"Cant wait" he said and grabbed my hand and we left the building.

.

.

.

.

Once the car parked outside the museum. Zion got and helped me out of the car.

"Thanks"

"You welcome"

We both entered the museum and the colossal front of the museum and the stunning garden in front of it mesmerised us. At that very time, I realised that the inside would be more astonishing.

I was right, the inside was even more amazing. It had almost ten floors and people around us looked elegant and beautiful conversing through each other.

"Felicity!!" I turned around to see Anna coming towards me.

"Anna," I said excitedly.

"Oh gosh you look beautiful"

"You literally dressed me up," I said, hugging her.

"I know" she simply shrugged. She was wearing a darling silver dress looking very dashing in it and Joseph wore a dark brown suit looking prim and proper, the glasses giving him a cute look.

While we were speaking, Zion coughed to get our attention but we were simply too busy when that didn't work out he cleared his throat loudly.

Anna groaned loudly and glared at him

"If you are sick you can leave"

"What no, and did you forgot that i'm your best friend and I introduced you two and now you completely forgot me"

"Oh thank god you spared me the speech"

He just scoffed and turned his head. While we both laughed.

We were chatting about the event when from the corner of my eyes I saw someone walking towards us.

It was becky.

She made her way straight to Zion the second she greeted Zion both Anna and Joseph flew like a wind. I blinked at the place where she was a few seconds and turned to see that both of them were dragging Becky away.

I turned to zion with confusion but he was already looking at me with a smile.

"What"

"What."

"Why are looking at me like that"

"Because you're beautiful"

I bite my lip to stop from bursting out.

"Let's go," I said blushing.

And then we went to explore the museum hand in hand. There were so many things and eyes couldn't take this much.

"Zion, come here," I said standing in front of an ancient civilization.

"What" he said standing beside me.

"Look, it says it was found around 580 BC can you believe that" I said pointing to the wine bowl.

He hummed and bent down to read the words while I took the opportunity to look at him. What can I say, he was the most handsome in the museum.

"I more surprised they had this for wine"

"Why?"

"Just curious"

"What are you curious about?" I said with a laugh.

"Hey don't laugh or I wont tell" he said poking me in the forehead.

"Okay okay I won't laugh" I said with a small laugh and took his hand from poking me.

"How did they even make wine"

~~~~~~~~

"Wow, this is so beautiful" I said looking around.

"You really never went to museum"

"Well not like this one" I said, bringing my head down.

He smiled and took hold of both of my hands and looked towards the ceiling. Smiling, I looked upwards.

"I could stay all day looking at the ceiling," I said.

He laughed "Nah you would probably fast asleep"

I flushed and brought my head down. He looked at me with a teasing smirk.

"Uh what happened?" he teased and brought his face closer.

"Shut up"I said, trying to get out of his hold. But he didn't, he instead tightened his hold and pulled me forward.

" Ahh zion my cape" I jokingly scolded him when he stepped on to my cape.

He laughed and brought his hand to my shoulder keeping us a little closer.

"I don't know why I choose this dress very well knowing that I'm clumsy," I said softly.

"But it's beautiful"

"I know especially the embroidering"

"I was talking about you" he said in his soft voice that caressed my whole body. My heart beat started to beat faster and I remembered that i'm still in his embrace.

I slowly moved my head and took a step back only to slightly slip.

"Ahh.."/I said, grabbing Zion's arm. And Zion let out a loud laugh soon I too joined.

" you are the clumsiest person I ever know"

I laughed tilting my head back and keeping both of my hands on his chest. Zion also joined me. We couldn't control our laughter, something around the presence and the whole vibe of us together made us come in a bubble of happiness.

While we were still laughing I heard someone call. Zion turned around to see a man in his late fifties looking at us with a small smile.

"Oh mr.Anderson" Zion said, untangling from me and going towards him.

Anderson? The name sounded a little familiar. A few seconds later it clicked to me that Anderson is the person Zion was to meet here.

With that thought I silently made towards him and stood behind zion. When Anderson saw behind and caught my eyes, Zion slightly turned towards me and put his hand behind my back and moved forward.

"And Anderson I want you to meet felicity..."

"Hello felicity it's so nice to meet you" he said bringing his hand forward.

"Nice to meet you to mr. Anderson you look dashing in your white suit." for that he let a loud laugh.

"Well well thank you felicity but i'm too old to get compliments...

" you're never too old Anderson" Zion chipped in.

"Whatever you say boy" he said and we chatted for a while before someone called him.

"Well okay I have to go I hope you have a great time visiting this place...and felicity it's great to meet you.

" thank you "

"And Zion, thank you for coming all the way. It means a pleasure to me even though I gave trouble in the beginning. I hope it all went great in the end."

"Very well Anderson, I had a beautiful experience visiting this city and getting to see you personally and to have a look at the museum"

"Ahh it's all good, but you seem very happy spending time with your beautiful lady here" he joked as my eyes widened at his words and I fumbled.

His lady.

Oh no.

"I...i no-" I was about to correct it when Zion slightly laughed and tightened his hold on my waist.

"I'm"

I blinked and looked at him to see that he was actually blushing.

Oh my gosh I never seen zion blush let alone agree to something like this.

His girl and he actually agreed.

And when he turned his head for a quick movement looking all pink and flustered he gave me a quick smile and I felt that small movement like eternity so clear and vivid and so magical.

After that we moved on watching the art, smiling at the silly jokes we made and also admiring the work while sitting on a bench. When it was time for the after party everyone moved to the other side of the museum and the party began. We were there enjoying the party. My eyes caught Anna and Joseph who looked alert for some reason. I called them and we danced for a bit and drank champagne. After a while I said I wanted to get some fresh air. The dress and heels were not exactly the perfect place to be in a packed crowd.

Soon we were walking down the side path of the beautiful garden.

"This garden reminds me of your garden"

"You visited our garden?" he asked, turning his head towards me.

"Uhm yeah your mom showed me uhm...when i stayed in your house" i said glancing at him.

He thought before speaking "yeah yeah i remember you also made us a salad"

"Yes," I said looking down.

We then came to a stop at the centre, where a pillar was decorated with white rose and golden lights and there was a band playing in the background. Zion led us inside and I was awed how magical it looked.

When i turned around i saw zion holding his right hand in front of me and looking at me expantly

"Oh...no i'm not dancing"

"But why"

How can I dance with him when he looks all charming and dashing and lookin at me like no one ever looked at me. I can't possibly dance with a guy I love without doing something crazy.

"We danced earlier and this is not the spot-

"Oh come on this is the best place and we did not even dance that much. I want a real dance with you felicity" he said coming closer to me and whispered the last part.

"I want to dance with you felicity"

I was a blushing mess when I looked up at him, his eyes did not leave mine looking at me with determination.

"Yes," I whispered . He smiled and took my hand up and intertwined with his and he took my other hand and placed it on his shoulder, I lightly bit my lip to supress the feelings he gave me. He then placed his hand securely on my waist.

He did not move. He was waiting for me so I took a small breath and closed the distance and tightened my hold on him.

"Let's dance the night away felicity" he said and i smiled.

When we took the first step, music started to play. I turned my head to see the players looking at us with a smile.

I laughed, amazed at the gesture and looked up to see the blue eyes already looking at me with longing.

I brought my head down and moved according to him.

"You look so beautiful felicity"

"Thank you, but you said it too many times" I smiled blushing even though I said it he said it too many times I was never tired of it.

"You think that is too many"/he said taking a different step and slowing down " then you should know how many times I thought you were beautiful"

I stopped and looked at him speechless, he thought I was beautiful. Oh my gosh.

He smiled "i'm gonna twirl you"

"Ah what-

His hand left waist and he twirled me. I laughed going with him and he did one more time before he pulled me back to his arms.

" This is nice, " I said, moving my body.

"I know"

His hands slowly let go of me. I looked up at him, my eyelashes fluttering, both looking into each other's eyes making the atmosphere tense. He then brought both of his hands and cupped my face. And I can hear the song slowly coming to an end.

"Zion..

"You know felicity when I first met you I never thought you would mean this much to me"

With that he kissed me.

My eyes widened and both of my hands tightened around his coat. I was too stunned by the way he kissed me. The want and the need were clear as the day as he pressed and moved his lips against mine. And I could feel the passion flowing through him the way he tightened his hold on my cheek. It was like he never wanted me to let go and to never stop kissing me.

It was bliss. I closed my eyes when the music stopped and his lips slightly moved away from mine but his were lips softly gazing mine.

My heart was beating so loud when he stopped kissing but I could feel like he was waiting. I feel my chest slowly rising and falling.

With a determined mind I pulled his coat forward and kissed his upper lip slowly into my mouth. At the same time the music started again I left like I was in euphorbia being close to him I felt happiest but to actually kiss him and feel his lips move ever so softly. I completely fell head over heels with him.

The second my lips slightly moved away from him his right hand left my cheek and quickly went back and pushed me forward. My eyes widened but I gave into the feeling of kissing the boy I love.

Kissing Zion felt so good. He was so good at it. Seeing Zion who is like a soft ball of sunshine one would think he would be too shy to kiss.

But man no.

He was full of passion and hot. That's how he was kissing me. The firm hand on my back and the way he slightly tilted my face to kiss every part of my mouth made my knees weak.

He slowed down a bit, kissing my lower lip sensually while my knees buckled. He didn't stop when he brought both of his hands to my arms and lightly caressed it down till it reached my palms. He then took hold of it and Slightly turned me around while his lips lingered on mine.

While turning I got a glimpse of his eyes and I saw all the emotions in that one second. All the emotions were so serious his eyes didn't leave mine when he turned and pressed my back against his.

I was surprised when he leaned down and kissed me again on the lips. My head Slightly turned towards the side. My hands tightened around his when he started moving.

He was dancing while kissing me.

I don't even know what to concentrate on anymore.

Suddenly a flashback of us standing in the rain and in the same position crossed my mind.

How different the similar events are.

With that I brought my hand up and placed it on his side of his head and kissed him back with the same passion.

He paused for a second before pushing me against his front even closer and kissed even stronger than ever,every nook and corner I was having a hard time catching up with him but the butterflies in my mind didn't. Wanting to feel him more I tilted my head to the side more and kissed every part of his, and together we fell into a beautiful sync.

The kiss was soon getting hotter and hotter while both of us were trying to feel each other more. So Zion separated his lips for a second before turning me around and crashing his lips down again. I circled my arms around his shoulder and pulled him closer and I swear I heard him groan. I brought my hands to his cheek and cupped his face and started to match his pace and I felt his lips twitch in a smile.

"Felicity..." he said breathlessly while moving his lips just a inch so he could see me.

I was panting when I looked at him. He never looked so beautiful looking all flustered and a little dazed.

I gave him a small smile and he returned it and took my hand and spinned me around.

"Zion..." I laughed.

I shrieked when he suddenly dipped me down and held me tightly. I left a little exposed with the way he was looking.

Like he made it was just the two of us in our own world. His laugh died down and he looked at me slowly bringing his head down and I raised my head to meet his lips.

We smiled into the kiss.

He then lifted me up and danced around each other wearing nothing but joy. I never danced this much. It was childish. We missed a few steps. There were flaws here and there, but our laughter didn't.

Suddenly Zion grabbed my waist and hoisted me up.

"Ahh Zion.." I screamed but out of laughter there was this happiness in my chest that I could contain. I was just so happy.

I then looked down and smiled at Zion like I never smiled and when he matched mine. I knew in that movement this man right here had changed me for the better even if he didn't know. He brought me closer to my family and he helped me to find myself again. And most of all he made me fall in love with him without even doing anything but just being him and stayed with through all we have been through.

I circled my arms around his shoulder and bent down and kissed with so much passion pouring all my feelings to him that I can't form into words.

That's how he became one of the people I could not imagine being without and most importantly how I wanted a future with him and him alone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was standing with Anna and Joseph chatting about the event. And I can assure that both of them noticed that I looked a little different.

Heck even I can see it.

I felt like my whole body had changed and I felt like it was glowing. There was no other way I could explain what I was feeling. There was a slight bounce to my steps and the happiness in my eyes and the ever so permanent blush.

But none of them said anything and we simply chatted. After a movement I felt a presence behind me when I looked up I saw Zion coming to stand beside me.
