Chapter Thirty-Seven: Another Visit

Romans' POV

She was beautifully wonderfully mine.

We both strolled out of the hotel holding hands but it was already dark and she seemed to be shivering bit by bit.

I had no choice but to stop her from walking further.

"What?" She asked anxiously.

I removed my suit and gently wear it on her handless gown, though it was oversized yet it looked lovely on her.

"How are you feeling now?" I asked wearing a smile.

"Better" she smiled.

"I'll drive you home" I said lovingly taking her hand again.

My car wasn't far from the hotel premises, I detest parking at their garage that was why I parked a street after the hotel.

"I can book a ride, besides you have midnight video meeting to attend" she reminded softly.

"But I'm not tired" I frowned and Eliora laughed.

"Stop acting like a baby" We faced each other, Eliora finally gathered the courage and placed her palm on my soft hairy cheek.

"I'll be fine babe" Eliora said and gave me a quick kiss on my lips.

"I'll miss you so much, Earl" I said sadly.

I was really really sad leaving her tonight. There's this feeling I felt being around her and now she's leaving, I feel so empty.

"I'll call you everyday" Eliora assured with her flushed cheeks.

It must be coloring bloody red by now, because she has been blushing since the date started. Lol.

"Then what if I want to see you again?" I asked anxiously.

"I'll video call you everyday" Eliora said lovingly.

"Are you sure you're fine alone?" I ask, worried.

I have really fallen for her deeply.

"Yes dear" Eliora nodded.

"Go ahead then. I already called my driver" I said softly.

"You didn't have to do that" Eliora nudged my arm and I smiled.

"It's okay. I feel like driving home alone, tonight" I said.

"You alright?" Eliora ask, concerned.

"Yes babe. Now go ahead before I never let you go" I said teasingly and she smiled widely.

"Good night dear" Eliora said and left my side walking toward my neon light brown SUV car that was now shining it's front lights.

I watched her leaving, her footsteps remained elegant and majestic. I smiled until the car was finally out of sight.

My phone vibrates from my pocket and I immediately took it out.

*Alarm*- Meeting in thirty minutes - *Alarm*

As soon as I saw the notification, I hasten my pace heading towards where I had parked my car.

[Eliora's POV]

Who would sleep after such an encounter? Of course it was a..... I better reserve my comment.

I rolled sideways on the bed adjusting my bum short lower, I lay flat on the bed staring at the ceiling that had my fan on it and it's rolling.

"He said he loves me",

"He added triple R to my name".

My cheeks were burning hot and I was smiling like an insane rabbit.

"I love him too" I muttered softly using the stripe blue and white blanket that has a big picture of mickey mouse on it to cover my body.

The next morning, I did my usual morning routine but this time in a hurry and left to work.

I arrived at R- Industry at exactly 8:30am and I was expected to attend the morning meeting by 10:00am.

I hurriedly hang my bag on my shoulder and gathered my hair into a messy bun using a black band then I hasten my pace toward the entrance door when I spotted Jennifer from afar.

It was a bit far from the company premises but I could see her, she was standing with Desmond.

Are they dating already and she hasn't told me?

Instead of dying in curiosity, I walked closer to them incognito and where I stood I could clearly hear anything they say.

"I came to visit you" Desmond said.

"Visit me? I told you I'll think about it doesn't mean I've literally accepted you" Jennifer said nervously.

"I know. I know. I just want to you see. Seeing you is my satisfaction" Desmond said lovingly and Jennifer flushed.

"Really?" Jennifer smiled happily.

"Yeah. I'm just so scared of getting rejected. I really want to spend the rest of my days with you" Desmond said sadly.

If I didn't witness this, I would never believe if anyone had told me that Desmond was this romantic and charming. Woa!

"Okay, okay. Let's meet tonight after work" Jennifer shyly nudges his arm.

"Are you serious?" Desmond asked in astonishment and excitement.

"Don't you want it?" Jennifer said fringing that if-you-don't-want-it-then-forget-it feelings.

"I want it! I want it" Desmond impatiently replied and Jennifer smiled.

Where I was hiding ' because it's feels like I was hiding', I couldn't help but smile happily.

For the first time, I was happy for my best friend's success.

"How will their date go?" I muttered to myself softly.

I just won't stop minding my business.

I exhaled in relief and checked my wrist watch which was a product of Citizen.

"9:25am! No. No. No. No" in fear, I rushed into the building.

Few hours later after the discussion and solution rendering meeting, I visited my best place in the industry which was the sealing unit.

The sealing unit is the department in R- Industry where agricultural products like fruits, green vegetables and other perishable goods are cross-check and sealed into cartons to be sent to the distribution unit.

As I strolled around the unit supervising each person's task, the staffs that came across me maybe while going to submit feedbacks or an errand bow their head and greet me politely.

No one got on my nerve and the product I supervised were all durable for the next couple of months. I nod my head as I proceed to the exit.

Sunday rolled by before a blink of an eye and it was the day I was going to meet with Romans parents... again.

I couldn't find the right dress to wear in other to impress them. You know that feelings where you just want to do everything right and not blow the cover up.

Short mini gown is not on my list, skirt - off, trouser - off. I racked my brain to think of what to wear then I started rummaging my closet again.

Bing!

A notification dropped into my phone and I checked on it immediately.

It was a message from Romans.

"Wear anything babe. You're so pretty. Kisses".

How does he know I'm having troubles finding the right outfits?

I smiled at the message for a while before dropping the phone back on the bed and checking out my closet outfits skeptically.

Romans came to pick me up and in few hours, we arrived at his family mansion.

Hell yes, I'll try my best to stare around every bit of this house till I'm satisfied. You don't think I'm stupid, right?

Romans family mansion has a very wide range of yard, there was a mini round about in the middle of the yard that enables cars to reverse and park. There were different model of cars park around the yard and the outer garage. The mansion was of landscape shape and very tall, it could be two storey building or there about. There were plants and flowers by the side of the house and gardens in the yard. The mansion was made of brown brick and on the wall, the engineer was able to design the initials of the Robins family R.R.R. precisely and it was so marvelous. There were electric bulbs around the mansion walls and yard premises. The yard was quiet except for the sound coming out from the engine of the grass cutter who maintains the yard or the chirping from the happy birds.

I didn't notice when Romans had gone to park his car and returned.

"What are you staring at?" Romans nudges my shoulder softly.

"Nothing. There are a whole lot of changes here" I said.

"Yeah. We had to reconstruct" Romans said softly.

"Let's go in" Romans suggested.

"Sure" I nodded taking a deep breathe.

As the house maids open the wide entrance door gradually, I saw Mr. Robins and Mrs. Rachael Robins staring at me with bright smile on their faces.

"Eliora!" Mrs. Rachael calls in astonishment giving me a tight loving embrace that almost squeezed out my life, though.

Why are they being happy towards me? Does this mean I'm accepted? What's their hidden desires? Will the diner with his family go any peaceful?

It seems no parents would love to stay without grand children.
