After positioning and making sure they were well-centered and fully supported, Niles bent his head and kissed the swell of my breast.
He looked up and said to me ” You’re Perfect Maria, never doubt yourself “
Tears slipped down my cheeks, this act was so touching but it made my heart ache as well.
My biological Mom never put on nor taught me how to wear a bra from the beginning of my puberty, I had to learn from the servants and internet .
But it’s quite funny , Niles of all people? the least person I ever imagined having an encounter with helped me put on my bra – not remove it?
“Why me? ” I asked, taking him by surprise
“Why did you choose me Niles? There are many girls out there and around you, who are highly educated, rich, insanely hot and beautiful, who come from a good background,could easily fit your needs but why me? I don’t understand at all? “
Niles lifted my chin, wiped a tear from my cheek and began
“Because you’re Maria. You might not be rich ; you would be once you marry me, you might not be highly educated ; education doesn’t always guarantee success in life, you might not be insanely hot and beautiful; I don’t eat beauty – moreover it becomes a huge problem for the kids if the parents are too beautiful “
I laughed at his silly explanation but he was obviously not done ” You don’t have a background? I don’t care cause my background becomes yours once we’re one “
He leaned his forehead against my own and said to me ” I choosed you Maria because you’re beautiful inside and outside “
” What if I’m falling for you? ” I took a risk and confessed my growing feelings for him and saw Niles froze like a statue.
I wasn’t going to hide nor ignore it anymore, I like – perhaps even love him?! I came to a startling realization.
“I know you said you would never love anyone else again after Kay, but I can’t help it any longer. But you don’t have to worry, I’m not demanding you should love me ba -mmm “
A fiery kiss sealed my lips and I couldn’t help but kiss him back.Joy burst out from my heart, does this mean he accepts my feelings for him?
He pulled away from the kiss afterwards breathlessly and said to me ” Let’s go to the party first, we’ll discuss this later alright? “
“Alright ” I nodded and smiled, feeling on top of the world.
Things were beginning to go smooth in my life for once but unknown to me, that was just the beginning of the bumpy ride.
Niles’s POV
“What if I’m falling for you?”
I froze when Maria said those words to me, I never saw that one coming. I didn’t know whether to be happy or… in fact I don’t know what to think anymore.
For sure I was grateful she liked me and those feelings would stop and help her from falling for Eden’s sly advances, but what if she ends up becoming like Kay? I don’t want to go through such torment a second time.
You know, Kay had claimed to love me too and I loved her back but in the end her love turned out to be an obsession. A love which afterwards turned into hate and destroyed her in the end.
“I know you said you would never love anyone else again after Kay, but I can’t help it any longer. But you don’t have to worry, I’m not demanding you should love me ba -mmm “
I kissed her, don’t know why though. My body just moved of its own volition , but it was better. I poured all my emotions into the kiss since I was at a loss for words.
“Let’s go to the party first, we’ll discuss this later alright? ” I informed her after I pulled away, now wasn’t the right time and I didn’t want to rush my reply.
Kay wasn’t Maria and Maria wasn’t Kay, so I needed a bit of time to think it through.
“Alright ” She agreed, thankfully and didn’t press further. Maria dressed up and we finally left for the gala.
“Is my lipstick smeared by chance? anything out of place? ” she asked and turned around for me to help her double check.
A smile touched my lips ” Why? You don’t want people to know what we’ve been doing? “
Her face burned and she lowered her head in embarrassment “Niles behave ” She chided and hit me gently on my shoulder.
I drew close to her and whispered into her ears ” There’s a trail of hickeys down your neck “
She froze and her eyes almost popped out.
“Oh no ” Maria began to panic ” I need to go…..”
She turned around, ready to hightail it out of the ballroom when I grabbed her arm before she could leave and burst into laughter unable to stifle it anymore.
“The look on your face ” I wiped the tears from my eyes as a result of laughing too much ” I was just kidding, how can you be so silly? ” I poked fun at her, the look on her face was funny and priceless – she was ready to murder me.
Maria gritted her teeth and shot me a glare while stepping towards me threateningly ” Was it that fun? I’m sure if it’ll be a lot fun if I – “
” Isabella? ” I muttered shocked.
“Yes Isabell – no – What?! “
Maria followed the direction of my gaze and it rested on my dear daughter, standing alongside Tina and staring back at me.
I clenched my fist and strode towards her, she dared to disobey my orders. I felt Maria grab my arms and gestured a no-no with her head but I tugged her along with me.
” I thought I told you not to -!”
“Hi Dad ” She waved at me and I froze, the rest of my words getting stuck in my throat.
What did I just hear? Isabella called me Dad?! I must be hearing wrong but why is my heart pounding so hard?
“Y-you… “
“I’m sorry for disobeying your orders Dad, I’m truly sorry ” Isabella apologised and ran to me, wrapping her small arms around my waist.
What’s going on? My hands fell limp at my side after unconsciously letting go of Maria, as I wrapped my head around what’s going on.
This was the first time Isabella was calling me ” Dad ” since her birth. Even when she was a toddler, her first baby words were mama not papa and I couldn’t blame her – I had not always been beside her.
But right now since so many years, she was referring to me with that name I always inwardly wished she would call me sometimes.
Unfortunately it was hard to believe, Isabella was my daughter and I knew her like the back of my hand, this was definitely a prank.
I bet she just said those to escape the punishment of disobeying my orders, she probably didn’t mean that, right?
Or maybe a reverse attack? Yes, she must be doing this because I called her ” My Angel ” the other day; something I had never said to her – Yes, that must be it!
But when her hands tightened around my waist and she rubbed her head tenderly against my stomach, my brain malfunctioned and the anger vanished with no trace.
I sighed and found myself running my hand through her hair soothingly and said only one word to her
“Behave “
Isabella pulled away and nodded her head obediently with a dazzling smile, how didn’t I notice my daughter was this cute?
Abruptly Tina stepped forward, wrapped both arms across her chest and asked ” Where have you been Niles? “
“Who made you my mother… ?”
“Who made you his wife… .?”
Isabella and I asked at the same time.
Bewildered, I turned around and both of our eyes met while Maria’s hand was on her mouth, stifling a laughter.
How did she know – well , I’ll leave that for later.
Tears touched Tina’s eyes “I was just concerned about you, how could you be so cruel?! ” She raised her voice a bit too high, attracting people’s attention.
