Chapter 178
Zendaya’s POV
Throughout the day I noticed that Asher was behaving in a weird way, however I didn’t know how I was going to tell him about it.
He seemed to be hiding something and I feared the worst. There was so much going on that I was beginning to think he was doing something that he didn’t want me to find out. Something illegal. Or maybe I was reading too much meaning into it.
Anytime he wanted to answer his calls, he would instead let the phone ring and answer them in his car later. This was a new behavior.
I got so scared about his new attitude that I decided to tell Aurora about it but she only laughed at me.
“You worry too much, let the man live,” said the woman.
“But I am letting him live, I just don’t like the secrecy. It’s not too much to ask for a pure relationship where we aren’t hiding things from each other. How would you like it if your husband started hiding things from you?”
“He would never hide things from me and even if he did, I would simply either ask or let it go. What I don’t know won’t hurt me.”
“But it would,” I said. “Are you forgetting Travis? He hid a lot from me and I am just finding out things about him.”
“I’m not sure Travis is a very nice example,” she smiled.
“I know, I know,” I felt bad for comparing the good man named Asher to that bastard called Travis who had almost ruined my life. “I’m not saying that they are both on the same scale I’m only saying that Travis has hidden things from me and it has not ended well. I don’t want Asher doing the same.”
“You know what would do?” Smiled Aurora to her feet. “Shopping!”
“No, no,” I shook my head. “I am not going anywhere with you. I have had enough shopping experience with you.”
“Oh come on. It’s not like you don’t want to go. We should be out there having a fun day. We will have lunch later on but for now, let’s just enjoy the shopping aspect of everything.”
I could not argue with her. Shopping would distract me from thinking my head out.
“Fine,” I said. “A few dresses, a lunch date and then we head back home.”
She nodded before we left.
Throughout our date, I found it weird that Asher had not called me even once. Usually whenever he was not busy at work he would call me.
Before he left for work, he promised that he would not be busy at work but he had not called which meant the opposite.
I forgot about him and focused on the beautiful day I was having with Aurora and by the end of the day, I had gotten so many clothes I was sure I would not wear half of them but would give them away.
By the time I had returned I was so glad I had gone out and had lunch with Aurora but the minute I reached the gate, I started to worry.
I entered the compound to see that there was something odd about the place.
The mansion was not decorated when I left. However it was decorated while I was coming back.
I walked to the mansion to open the door and I found it even better than before. The walls were painted a silvery gold cold with a touch of red. I could smell scented flowers.
The floor had flower petals that had been scattered on it. I laughed as I followed it to a room up the stairs to see Asher on a knee with a ring in his open palm.
“Oh my God,” was all I could say as I walked to stand before him. “What is all this?”
“Zendaya,” he said with a serious tone. “Ever since my second time meeting you, I have fallen for you again. I have seen you as my one true love and I have done everything possible to keep you in my life.
“We have gone through the darkest of times but in the end gone back up. We have been separated but still found each other again. I am on my knees here saying that you take this ring and be my wife.
“I promise to always protect and love you. I will never leave you no matter how crazy it gets out there. I will always hold you and cherish you. The stars shine less brightly when your love isn’t there and I want my night sky to be filled with your love.”
While he said all of this, I blushed feeling like a teenage girl being proposed to.
“Zendaya, will you marry me?” he asked.
“Yes!” I screamed as he put the ring on my finger and stood up to kiss me. We shared a very deep kiss as I trailed a hand to his chest while we hugged.
“I still want to have that sex,” I said.
“Come on love,” he hesitated.
“I’m already fully healed. What’s the deal? Besides, I miss your touch.”
He nodded pointing to the dinner table before us.
“Let’s eat first then we can do something later.”
I accepted with a grudge as we ate the food and talked about our day. When we were done, we leaned in our seats.
“It’s been a great day,” he said.
“I know something that could make this day even better,” I sent him a naughty smile.
“What is that?”
I pointed to me and then him as he smiled devilishly.
“Fine,” he finally gave into my traps. “Let’s go and have sex.”
We jumped into each other and started kissing vigorously as we made our way to our room.
There we tore our clothes from our bodies and started to ravage each other like never before.
I pushed him on the bed. This time I was in control. I would be on top.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
