Kapitel 11: Tales Of Us
"Master, Madam. Dinner's ready". Mrs Lawrence cleared her throat, standing at the entrance of the dining room ,her face soft with a warm smile as she invited the couple over.
Yvette and Zeke who were busy with their affairs glanced up, one reading her script, the other buried on laptop before him busying himself on the company's affair.
The duo put away their work and stood up. As they stepped into the dining room which was enveloped with soft candlelight, the atmosphere of the room wrapped them in warmth.
The flickers of the candlelight Mrs Lawrence had meticulously arranged reflected on the polished silverware and the soft clink of champagne glass already poured with wine, casting a soft glow over the table set for two.
Plates of carefully prepared dishes steamed, filling the air with it's fragrant aroma.
Yvette was the first to break the silence. "This is stunning". She said, her eyes wide with awe.
Zeke smiled, equally taken aback by the thoughtful display. "You didn't have to go to such length".
Mrs Lawrence, standing tall with a faint but proud smile shook her head. "It's my little gift for the two of you, I wish you a blissful marriage, may your marriage be blessed with love and happiness".
"Thank you". The couple replied in unison and Mrs Lawrence retreated quietly, leaving them to their peaceful dinner.
The duo ate in contented silence, savouring both the meal and the moment. The gentle clinking of the cutlery, the soft murmur of conversation and the occasional shared smile filled the room with quiet joy.
Later that night, after the last candle had burned and dinner had ended, they climbed the stairs to their bedroom only to find yet another surprise.
Yvette couldn't help but gasp when she opened the door.
The room was bathed in the soft light of several candles, the bed covered with delicate rose petals scattered across the white linens.
The air was perfumed with the subtle, sweet fragrance of the flowers and the room felt and look like a scene out of a fairytale.
"She really did this too". Yvette grinned, her eyes twinkling with excitement as she moved around the room, trailing her fingers over the petals, the elegant and romantic arrangements of the pillow.
Zeke finally pulled out of his awe and walked towards her, sneaking his hands around her waist.
His voice was low and husky, filled with affection as he whispered gently in her ears. "It wouldn't be right if we let Mrs Lawrence efforts go to waste. Right?".
Before she could reply, he turned her gently towards him and kissed her . The kiss was soft at first, a tender touch that sent warmth spreading through her but it soon deepened and she lost herself in it.
Her senses dulled to everything but him, the feel of his lips, the warmth of his hands as they slid underneath her clothes, pulling them off piece by piece.
She had never experienced a kiss so magical that it made her loose her senses, she responded instinctively her hands moving over his muscular toned chest as they kissed, their body pressing together as he gently laid her on the bed and continued feasting on her body.
Zeke felt and knew he couldn't have enough of her, this was not their first time, yet it felt so exhilarating that he almost went crazy. In fact, her scent was of no different to aphrodisiac to him , he felt himself loosing his senses as he caressed her body.
But just as the moment was about to escalate, he suddenly stopped and fell beside her on the bed .
Breathless, she looked at him her cheeks flushed. "Why . . Why did you stop". She asked, her voice shy but curious.
He laid beside her as he struggled to control his urge to dominate her knowing if he went any further, she would get hurt. He gently took her face in his hands, his thumb brushing over her cheeks.
"Perhaps because I don't want you to get hurt , I don't want to force you to do what you don't want to or maybe because I'm greedy. I want you. All of you. Your body, yes but your heart too. I want all of you Yvette".
He then kissed her forehead gently and scooped her into his arms, carrying her to the bathroom where they bathed together.
Afterwards she dried herself and changed into her pyjamas, she then picked up the script she had Leila drop over earlier.
Her gaze flitted to the first page and her thumbs tenderly caressed the title. "TALES OF US".
It was initially a romance fantasy novel with thousands of readers all over the country which was just about to be adapted into a movie.
She opened the page and began to read, tye second female lead character caught her attention instantly just like when she had first read the novel back then. A wild rebellions princess who defied expectations and won the heart of several readers.
Though not the main character, tge princess's fiercy spirit made her stand out amongst all other characters.
Back then when the novel had just been released, she fell in love instantly either the character of the second female lead Lin Chuxia just as she did now.
Back then, she even wished for the book to be adapted into a movie so she could audition for the role and now this was her dream come true. Though she found out about it a little bit later, the audition was to be rushed with it's date not yet disclosed yet probably in fee days time .
Just then Zeke returned from the bathroom and smiled when he saw her lost in thoughts with the script in her hands.
He moved to the bed, sitting beside her and pulling her gently into his arms.
"It's time to sleep". He murmured, wrapping her in his embrace and she couldn't help but smile . Being held tightly in his embrace made her felt safe and warm thus she soon fell asleep in his arms, the warmth of his body against hers pulling her into a deep, peaceful slumber.
When she woke up the next day, it was already late into the afternoon, the sunlight filtering softly through the curtains. Zeke sat in tge edge of the bed, lost in her beautiful frame, a tray if lunch in hand.
"Why didn't you wake me up earlier?." She asked as she sat up.
Zeke smiled softly."I couldn't bear to. The sleeping beauty looks so peaceful".
The duo shared lunch together, their meal simple yet comforting. After eating, she took her bath and dressed only to have her phone ring as she walked back into the bedroom.
It was Leila and she smiled picking it up. "Bet you're ready for the audition". He voice boomed through the phone.
"What audition?". Yvette asked surprised, she didn't remember her making mention of any audition.
"For the drama "TALES OF US" obviously. I sent you a message at midnight immediately I found out the news. It must have been that scum intentionally suppressing the news. Don't tell me you didn't see it".
Yvette had her mouth agape. "I didn't. I went to bed early". She had indeed slept early and woke up late and was just finding out about it.
"Oh no. What do we do now?". Leila panicked. "I didn't want to disturb you so that's why I sent a message instead of calling".
"It's okay. Aren't I always prepared?". Yvette replied, offering a reassuring smile though she was as nervous as hell.
