CHAPTER 11:
Vincent nodded quickly.. "Yes, I am hungry.." He said while rubbing his stomach..
"Let's go.." Alexander replied and hold their hands.. In his one side Victoria and another side Vincent.. Looking like a happy family..
On the other hand, Victoria sighed in relief inwardly.. It was so embarrassing when Vincent asked that question.. But, on a second thought she has to do it anyway.. After all, she married him on her own wish and has to fulfil the wife's duty..
She stole a look of her husband.. With a mask on his face he seemed very handsome.. She wonder, how would he look at his young age and before his ruined face..
Alexander brought them in a very classic style restaurant.. It has been decorated modernly mixed with 9o's style.. So beautiful.. Both Victoria and Vincent were in aww..
The manager came quickly and bowed "Welcome Mr. King.."
Alexander only nodded.. This one thing Victoria noticed about him.. He was always aloof and cold with everyone, excluding her and Vincent.. Though it surprised her but she also felt kind of ticklish inside her heart..
The manager spoke "Please sir come with me.." He said and led the way.. He took them on the second floor.. Victoria noticed there were rooms their with a number on them..
The manager stopped at the last room which has the number nine.. He then opened the door for them.. Entering the room Victoria felt she stepped into an exquisite heaven.. It was so beautiful and peaceful..
The manager turned to them "please have a seat sir.. Waiter will be here whenever you want.. Enjoy yourselves.." Bowing again he left from there, closing the door for them..
"Wowww.. This place is so amazing!!" Vincent chimed in excitement..
Alexander then looked at his wife "you like it?"
Victoria nodded with a blush.. She didn't know why after that question of Vincent's in the hospital, she was too shy to look at him..
Pleased with her reaction, Alexander helped them to seat like an absolute gentleman.. His every actions were making her heart warm.. She only know him for two days, but he somehow made her feel safe in such a short time.. As if she was with him for years now..
The same thing happened at the time of ordering.. Alexander was much careful with Vincent's food and stretched his every sentence clearly to the waiter.. But, when it came to Victoria, she was kind of surprise.. He knew her all the habits and likings in food!! How's that even possible!! She decided to ask later about it..
And like a good wife, she noticed his orders too.. One thing she understand that, Alexander is allergic to mushrooms.. He hate carrots.. Doesn't like onions and tomatoes very much and he prefers beef over chicken.. Alexander loves shrimps.. Victoria noted down those informations inside her head..
After the waiter left serving the food.. Alexander finally removed his mask.. Victoria felt that his all beauty just vanished over one action.. With mask he was looking like a handsome well built man but now he was looking like a dangerous man with ruined face..
She always knew that five fingers could not be found same in one hand.. Alexander might not have the looks but he was the most gentle person she has ever met after her father..
In this cruel world he came to them like an angel.. Though she only know him for a day, but sometimes some people came in life who felt so close to heart in just a short amount of time.. Wait, heart! What on earth was she thinking!? Shaking her head Victoria concentrated on eating..
..........
Victoria was reading a book, seating on the couch in their bedroom.. But couldn't concentrate.. Her mind was on Vincent's treatment, going to start from tomorrow..
Before Alexander came in their life she couldn't sleep in the thought of earning money and now her sleep was gone in the thought of the treatment procedure.. Moreover, she also need to tell him that she is ready to become his wife officially.. He can do things if he want..
"Oh God!!" She sighed and leaned on the cushion beside her.. But her head hit on the wall!!
Scaring, she jumped up on feet only to find out it was her husband seating beside her.. Her head hit on his chest!
Victoria was surprised seeing him there.. Because after dinner he went to his study for work.. And as long she heard from Uncle Celeste, he came out from there in late nights..
Alexander's face darkened "did I scare you?"
Victoria flushed, God knows why!! "Umm.. I.. I was just.. No!!" She stuttered, didn't know how to reply.. She was feeling shy..
Alexander thought she did not want him there.. So, he stood up to left "I am sorry.. I didn't mean to disturb you.." He said and turned to leave..
Victoria was confused at first.. But, suddenly she realised how dumb she behaved.. And without thinking anything she grabbed his hand to stop him..
Alexander stiffened.. He turned around her with surprise in eyes.. He didn't expect this reaction..
Victoria blinked few times looking at him and then looked down on their hands.. Realising what she did she quickly leave his hand.. Her face was scarlet.. "Umm.. I.. Am sorry.." She stuttered again..
'Stupid girl! Stop stammering!!' She scolded herself in mind.. Swallowing a mouth full of saliva she looked up at him "No, you did not disturb me.. It's just.. Umm.. I was too engrossed in my thoughts that I did not see you and sudden ummm contact scared me.." She finally spoke.. All these while she didn't dare to look in his eyes..
Victoria is a shy girl and with Alexander she turned more sheepish.. Which was much embarrassing for her..
On the other hand, Alexander couldn't notice any other thing when she blushed.. She looked too delicious that he wanted to lose all the control and gentleness he has been showing and have his way with her..
She doesn't wearing any makeup nor any skimpy dress but still she looked way more tempting than those makeup freak women running after him..
But, the most tragic truth is he couldn't do anything.. This is not in his ethics.. He want her but with her willingness, not the other way around.. Maybe, he has to wait till revealing his real face..
"Mr. King!?" Her sudden voice broke his trance..
"Umm..Ahem.." Clearing his throat he tried to shooed away the ungodly thoughts he was having for her.. "Uh.. It's okay.."
Both fell into awkward silence.. Victoria felt slightly guilty in heart.. She wanted to tell him that she is ready to start her life with him.. Yet, she didn't know how to say it!!
Alexander sensed her hesitation "you want to tell something?" He asked gently..
Not trusting her voice she nodded..
"Okay tell, I am listening.." Alexander replied with his usual gentle tone..
Victoria felt assurance in those words.. And unknowingly, her nervousness lightened.. "I.. Umm.. I want to.." She started stammering again.. 'Oh Gosh! This is embarrassing!.' She was feeling annoyed on her ownself!!
Understanding her hesitation, Alexander put his hands over her shoulder and started caressing it "tell me what is it.. You need something?" He asked..
Victoria shook her head.. She wanted to slap herself for behaving like a stupid!! She took a deep breath and then spoke "I might behave like a stupid by now but these all things are new to me.. I... I didn't know how to take over the situation and in the process I also hurt you.. I am sorry for that.."
She paused and after gulping a mouth full of saliva she again said "I now understand that I am married and as a wife I have my duties to fulfil.. I.. I won't stop you.. If you.. Umm.. want to do things.. You can do.. I won't stop or complain.." She was blushing like a tomato by now..
Alexander was stunned hearing her.. What on earth is this woman!? First, she got married with a man like him and now even want to give her purity to him!? This woman was too innocent for a man like him..
And do things!? God! Does this woman know what she was talking about!! Does this woman know, the beast inside him wanted to take over his modesty and pounce on her!! He was dying to have her beneath him, moaning and begging for release! Screaming his name in ecstasy! No, she doesn't!! If she know his unholy thoughts about her, she would run away from him!!
Sighing, Alexander caressed her cheeks lovingly "Victoria, I have already told you that I won't force you for anything.. You are my wife and making you comfortable is my responsibility.. You don't have to do things without your wish.. You don't have to do things to show your gratitude.. And frankly speaking, yes I want you.. But, only when you want me too out of love not to thank me.. Okay?"
His words made her heart flattered.. She felt butterflies in her stomach.. Could a man be this kind enough to endure his needs only make his wife comfortable!? No, not everyone can do it but few people like her husband.. Suddenly, she felt too lucky to have a husband like him..
She looked up in his eyes.. Those eyes.. They were so magnificent.. She could watch them all day and night!! Suddenly, she wanted to kiss this man.. Not out of gratitude or wife's duty.. She doesn't know why.. But she wanted to..
And with the thought of that.. She tiptoed on her feet and kissed his sexy thin lips..
Alexander stiffened on the place.. He did not see this coming.. Did this woman just kiss him right now!? "Holy shit!!" He murmured a curse on her lips and leaned down to deepen the kiss more while holding the back of her head.. This woman would be the death of him!!
Victoria stiffened.. She did not see this coming!!
