Chapter 5

Edith

“It is exactly twelve in the night and this time I am not the last one to wish you on your birthday." He tells me in a smile as I look up at him. "Happy Birthday Sweet cakes, I wish you to get all the happiness in the world. May your wishes come true and dreams fulfilled.” His voice was so masculine and rough that it sent chills down my body. Bending down he presses a kiss on my forehead and places a rose beside my head on the pillow.

My whole body went on fire with his lucid touch. My chest felt it was going to explode, my nerves were in a volley and the heart began to beat rapidly. His touch had a magic that could bring waves in me, the control which nobody had, not even Shelton. I do not know why I feel this for him? He is my brother’s best friend and I cannot have these carnal feelings for him. He loves me only like his younger sister and I know these feelings for him are going to land me into serious problems in future.

Till my fourteenth birthday he was the first person to wish me but afterwards he left the city for further education. Since then he talked only once in a while and afterwards stopped talking completely but his gifts were regular to me on my every birthday, yellow roses with a card attached in his beautiful handwriting. My attraction to him continued for he is the only man on earth who can bring flutters in my heart like a butterfly dancing in it.

He has the brightness of a sun and the beauty of a moon yet sometimes a coalescence of both. He is my breath who looks like a beautiful dream. Sometimes he is like my charioteer who shows me the way in a dark street and at times he is the bridge that makes my relations stronger in the world.

He is the sage who inspired love in me. He brightened my life with his revolting effort bringing in me the calmness of the sea and happiness of a world. My heart dances in joy seeing him today for a wound deep inside my heart disappears with his presence.

Like the coolness of the moon in the night of mid summer he arrives in my life bringing in a glow of pleasure. My dreams have been fulfilled and desires quenched, now that he came for me crossing the seven oceans of the world. Like a super power, he fulfills my needs without even asking for and brightens my destiny by his advent. No words are there for me to speak to praise the goodness of his beauty for he is an Adonis inclined by the God of beauty.

His mother's womb fully deserves a grace because she gave birth to him suffering so much pain. The Almighty has no form for he resides in people with a soul as virtuous as him. Not that he is billionaire and mints money in millions per day but he has the heart to give it away.

He is Allesandro Martin, the man I love like an invocation more than a prayer in the Holy Writ. He hugs me, pulling me to the warmth of his chest and covering me with his coat. I could hear the beat of his heart quickly, his hands surrounded me. The sweet scent of his lemon hue was bringing electric tingles in me. Just with a plain touch of his I was going wet between my legs, I do not know what’s going to happen if he kisses me. Shit! My mind is no better than a trash barrel and this always happens when he is close to me. I do not know how I am going to pull on this year with him.

He rests his chin on my head and leans back to the seat pulling me closer. My legs go around his waist and my nub goes pressed to his masculinity. I could feel his cock hard and poking and it calmed my throbbing nerves in a weird way. I nuzzle my head to the crook of his neck and inhale deeply enjoying the chasm pleats of his striking maleness.

The next morning I open my eyes to my telephone ringing on the bedside table. My parents, my brothers and uncle Augustus along with Angelica aunty wish me. As I cut the last call from my family, I hear the shouts coming from downstairs. “Damn it! I gave you just one work of tracing him out by hook or by crook and obtaining the evidence against him yet you cannot do such a simple task?” I rub my eyes and look down. Wasn’t he a cardiac surgeon but he appears now more like a mafia don? Glimpses of my father and brother when they are on business can be seen in him now. I was frightened and at the same time attracted to him.

He was dressed in black track pants and a gray shirt with a water bottle in his hands and phone resting on the other attached to his ears. Droplets of sweat covered his forehead, making him sexier. Probably he came out from his gymnasium. Handsome, muscled and driven, he is the prime example of masculinity.

I slid my eyes from his arresting icy blues to his pointed nose, his lips beautifully formed in a cupid’s bow and to his chiseled jaw which had slight stubble gave him a rugged, sexy look. The shirt he was putting on was doing little justice to his six pack abs covered underneath. The rippling muscles underneath the sleeves of his shirt fascinated me. I licked my lips entangled in the bliss of his manliness.

“You are up Sweet cakes?” My eyes were concentrating on the handsome man in front of me in a stupor. “Happy Birthday to you...” There, he wishes me again displaying that hypnotizing smile. Oh my handsome Apollo will you stop chuckling? He comes to me and hugs me tight and I go into a shock absorbed in the sweet tingles of his touch. “Wouldn’t you want your birthday gift?”

“I don’t want your gift. This is the only year you wished me before anyone.” I tell him not looking in the eye with a pout. I know I am behaving like an immature girl but all I want him to do is hug me tight and kiss me senseless. He leans down, kisses my cheek and my heart starts beating fast once again. I wanted to savor the feel of his lips on my skin and his arms around me. The butterfly prickles in my stomach made my body fly in the air.

Oh God! Why am I feeling this way? I have a boyfriend but he never made me feel like this. Hold me tight he warns me in chuckles and lifts me. My legs went around his waist as he carried me to my bedroom. He opened the cupboard and in front was a very beautiful turquoise color long gown hanging in all its beauty. “Do you like your gift?”

“Oh I surely love it.” I tell him looking deep in his eyes and kiss his cheek.

And one of my long cherished dreams had gone fulfilled.
