I was about to get out that his voice got me, “We have dinner tonight,” I stopped after listening to him, “All of us?” I asked him if it’s a family dinner,

He came closer and buried his nose in my hair, and sniffed the scent “No just you and me and it’ll be a special night so… wear something for me tonight,” he whispered in my ear, making me all blush in blood red. “We’ve to finish what we started last night,” I inhaled deep from my mouth while my eyes looking away from him, 

“L-ike w-what?” I whispered, 

“I’ll tell you tonight, for now, let’s go inside,” he said and we strode together inside, 

There I was welcomed by Anya and Grace (Nathan’s Mother). Claire (His sister) moved abroad for studies and lives with her boyfriend there so she visits us after some months and Melissa tied knots with a brit guy last month. In short, only Grace, James (Nathan’s dad), me and Nathan live here with servants. 

We all had lunch together and I came to my room for a nap while Nathan again went to his office, 

It was 4 PM and I was tired after a long day so I decided to take a nap, I jumped on my bed, curled myself in sheet and after a few minutes struggles, I finally dozed off to sleeping-land,

*Alarm Buzzed* 

6:00 PM

I turned off the alarm and got out of the bed. I went to the bathroom and took a quick shower. A knock on the door caught my attention and I answered, “I’m coming out, just a minute,” 

I got out after wrapping a towel around me and saw Anya holding a box in her hands, “What is this?” I asked her, 

“Mr Knightley wanted me to give you this,” she said and I got it right away. Must be the dress I was worried about, choosing the perfect outfit always gives me a hard time. 

“A team is coming to dress you,” she told me, “Okay, I’m waiting,” I said with a smile and she left after giving me a smile back  

A while later, the door was knocked again and I let them in, they were 4 persons who might get me ready, first one they started with my face, other did my hair and one of them was applying nail polish on my nails,

“What happened to your face?” the artist asked, 

I sighed inwardly, “I have some cats in my school,” 

“Oh don’t they know about Mr Knightley?” she asked again, “That’s the reason they bully me” she patted my shoulder, “Don’t worry, they won’t last for long,” 

After the sharp 30 minutes, they were done with the dressing. I looked at myself in the mirror, 

A bright red long dress with matching heels and flawless makeup. She applied the matching lip colour same as my dress. “Thank you, guys, I love you all!” I thanked everyone with sheer pleasure,

“You look gorgeous, my darling,” the makeup artist said to me and I laughed lightly

Anya came in, “Lana, Mr Knightley is waiting for you downstairs, how long will you take?” she asked me to hurry up with her look, 

“Yeah, coming!” I rushed towards her and we went downstairs together, he was in the living room with his mother

Mrs Knightley was watching the news on the big screen while sitting on the sofa and Nathan was doing the same while standing all tall on his feet, I came in from behind and cleared my throat to gain their attention, 

“Ah, darling! You look stunning!” Mrs Knightley said while mute-clapped her hands together, “Thank you!” I said with a slight British way, living with them for six months has turned me into a mini-brit, 

“You look phenomenal, our lady of the night,” Nathan murmured while seemed mesmerized as his eyes were not leaving my face, 

“Lady of the ‘Knight’ or ‘Night’?” I said while forming quotation marks with fingers, 

“However you want to take,” Nathan proudly stated, where Mrs Knightley chuckled over this, “Ah, I wish you both a good dinner,” she said and winked to Nathan, “Yeah, Shall we move?” he asked me with his hand directing the way and I nodded. 

He offered me his elbow which I gladly accepted, and we both strode out of the house, he settled me to the passenger seat, got inside the car and drove off to our destination with 3 cars, other cars were for our security, owning an empire isn't an easy thing. I asked him where were we going but he replied ‘It is a surprise’ Damn, I hate surprises, they always keep me to the edge, 

After a long quiet drive, we finally pulled over somewhere on an unoccupied beach covered with lights, “Is this the place?” I asked him with utter excitement, 

“Yes, seems so,” He replied while watching waves of water,

His guards first checked all the area and when they signalled him green, he came around to my way and opened my door, I stepped my heel out and he offered me his hand, I took his hand and got out where he slammed the door behind me. He placed his hand on my back and brought me closer to him to the extent where I could easily smell his citrus spicy cologne which was inviting me to touch his manly body. “This man wrapped in a fine suit will take my life with his sharp features someday,” I thought 

We walked towards our dinner table on the red carpet decorated with rose petals, along with cold breeze singing around,   

We reached there, he adjusted me on a chair and sat opposite of me like he did when we talked for the first time, time flew from that day to this. When we first met, my heart felt something for him and now, I’m completely all about him. He first became my best friend and now, we falling into lovers little by little, 

I looked around at the decoration, a wide dinner table, bright lights, all covered fresh roses, I could smell the scent in my every breath, “This is just like a dream dinner,” I mumbled while keeping my eyes up, “Yes, a perfect dinner with my perfect lady,” he said while gazing me, I tried to meet his eyes but his look was too intense so I end up looking down
