An Arranged Marriage - Episode 48

Okay, so maybe this wasn't my brightest idea, I should have thought about this better.

I glance at Maurice the driver and he gives me a pristine smile.

We just got back from my office.... yes I have an office now., and I decided to bring Kane lunch. 

I've never ever been to his office and that sounds wrong seeing as he's my husband. 

But all this while we've been preoccupied with arguments and stuff and today I've decided to come see him in hi office. 

But sitting outside and looking at the glass monstrosity? Oh no, I think I'm going to puke. 

"Are you going in Mrs King?" 

"Just a minute Maurice, I'm trying to build up courage" I say. 

I'm dressed in a Jean skirt and a white sleeve, I have on black sneakers but looking around the lobby of this office I'm getting sneakers is not all the rage. 

Maurice chuckles before going back to his side job as my bodyguard. 

I take a deep breath before going directly to the elevators, I feel Maurice behind me. 

"What floor is he in?" I ask, cringing from shame that I have no idea where my husband works. 

"Top floor" He says before hitting top floor button. 

I look down at the towel covered basket I'm holding and wonder if this isn't going over board. 

The elevator doors open and he's standing there, his face devoid of emotion, about 6 men behind him, he's talking to one of them. 

His eyes comes to me and I smile. 

He takes me in, my outfit and the basket I'm holding before breaking a smile.

"Mrs King, What a wonderful surprise" He murmurs, pulling me out of the open elevator. 

"Well, I'm glad you are surprised" 

He kisses my head before turning to the men.

"Gentlemen, this is my wife and by the looks of it she brought me lunch, let's talk later" He says before leading me away, Maurice behind us. 

"Should you have done that?" 

"I'm rich, I can do everything I want" He says and I shake head at his arrogance. 

I step into his office, the one that looks like something from fifty shades of grey but instead this one looks like fifty shades of Kane. 

"Wow your office is big" I say, turning around in a circle.

He nods before grabbing my head in a hold and kissing me. 

"Safe to say you are happy to see me?" 

"More than happy babe, feel free to come see me anytime you want" He says and I notice that Maurice is outside the door. 

I hug him, setting the basket on the ground.

He picks me up and moves us to the couch. 

He goes back for the basket and I watch him open it. 

"What delights are in here?" He asks.. 

"Rice, and chicken chops, stir fried" 

"Babe, you know if i continue eating like this I won't be able to maintain this sexy chest you love so much" He says arrogantly. 

"Did you just call your chest s*xy?" 

"Don't you find it that way?" 

"Even if... You aren't supposed compliment your self." 

"Does that mean me calling myself s*xy beast Is off the table?" I choke on my laughter and he leans to peck my lips before taking a bite of food. 

"Want some?" He asks and I laugh, nodding. 

We settle down to eat and after he's done he pulls my leg into his lap and pulls off my sneakers and socks. 

"You don't have to..." 

"You walked all the way up here to feed me, I think I can do this much" He says and I nod, resting my head back and allowing him to work tension out of my feet. 

"You must like white alot" He says. 

"What?" 

"On our first date you had on a white gown" 

"You remember?" 

"Should I have forgotten?" 

I smack his arm. 

"Well, I like white, what about you?" 

"Red, all shades of red" He says, kissing my hand. 

"Obviously" I say pointing to his suit which is burgundy yet again. 

"What else do you like?" I ask. 

"I like you" He says. 

"I mean obviously, apart from me" I say cheekily. 

"Well, I like archery, I like drawing a lot, I like my family and I like scotch" He says, although his list of likes are small I feel wonderful that he told them to me. 

"What about you?" 

"I like you" i say and he grins. 

"You have to" He says and I smile. 

"Well, I like all colors, I like dancing and playing the violin, I like sneakers and I like you the most"

He watches mouth before bending down to kiss it. 

"I like kissing you, alot" I say and his eyes darken. 

"I like doing other things too, alot" I say again. 

And he bends down to kiss my nose. 

"Don't make promises you can't keep babe" He says. 

"I said nothing" 

"Your eyes are saying everything" He says before standing to pull me up

"We are going home, I have something to show you" 

"What is it?"

"It's a surprise" He says, grabbing his suit jacket and bending to help me with my shoes. 

"What about the basket?" 

"Maurice will get it."

He says before holding a hand out to me, we walk to the elevator, passing employees who stop while he walks past. 

We exit the elevator when it gets to the ground floor and the car is already waiting. 

How Maurice got there before us is beyond me. 

We get in the car and he wraps his hands around my shoulder, I kiss his cheek before resting my head on his shoulder. 

He kisses my head. 

I'm really curious as to what this surprise is but I can wait. 

I feel a hand stroke my hair off my face and that's when I realize I've been sleeping. 

I open my eyes to rain falling outside the car. 

"Where are we?" 

"We are at the compound" He says and our door opens, Maurice is holding a black umbrella, he leads us to the little cottage that I always notice from our bedroom window and I wonder what's going on. 

Is it a surprise date? 

He opens the door and we step inside out of the rain. 

I immediately pause when I notice the floor to length mirrors. 

This.

. This.. 

I turn to him. 

"Kane?" 

"I wanted you to have your dance baby, noticed your leg has been doing good for a while, wanted you to have an option if you wanted to dance." 

He says and I turn back to look at the room, on one side is a violin stand. 

"Kane..." 

"Promised you a wedding gift baby" He says and tears fills my eyes and I turn to him. 

"This is my wedding gift?" 

"You like it?" He asks and I canr find any appropriate response to give, I throw myself into his arms, he rocks a little but he holds us steady. 

"You own me Caspian" I say and his body freezes before melting. 

"You own me too" He whispers. 

"Want to dance with me like we did on our first date?" I ask and he leads me out, suit and all, wrapping me in his arms as he dances with me in the rain.
