🌹CHAPTER THIRTY - NINE🌹

Sitting in a awkward silence in the car while his driver is driving us to the airport is not what I had expected. On the outside, I'm normal and professional, like I always am but on the inside is a whole another story, I'm practically screaming in my mind, I'm so exited to go to Paris.

I still feel like this is all a dream, a wonderful dream that I will be waking up soon and when I wake up, I will want to go back top sleep to continue this dream. Let's just say, if it was a dream, I never want to wake up from it again or even wake up at all.

"Are you exited?" Alexander asks after ten minutes of us in awkward silence, which I did not like. But, i just couldn't find the right words to say. I mean, I just kissed him a few hours ago, and he's my boss and I'm falling in love with him, despite what he has done to me.

I look at him and he has a smile on his face and I think he has a joyful look in his eyes. "More than I have ever been in my life" I tell him, there is no way that I'm going to tell him that there's a party in my head from the excitement of going to Paris, however, I think he has already figured it out.

He lets out a chuckle. "That's good" He only says, but I feel like he wanted to say more than that. "Are you exited?" I ask after a minute or two, honestly, I'm not counting. He smiles, the second smile today, that is new for him but I've begun to notice that he smiles around me more and more. Smiling actually looks good on him.

His smile is so beautiful and charming, just like him. "Of course I am, why would I not be when a beautiful woman such as yourself is coming with me?" He asks but I know that his question wasn't one that I should answer. I blush like a cooked tomato.

I admit that I do look beautiful in my eyes, but I never knew that he thought of me as beautiful. "According to your blush on those adorable cheeks of yours, I believe my words have affected you" He says, with a chuckle at the end of his sentence and a smirk on his face.

I blush even deeper, if that is even possible which I don't even think is. My heart is failing me, as it always is when around him. It's beating faster than it should be and I feel nervous, like always. But, I like those feelings, I like having those butterflies in my stomach because of him.

"Now, what are you most excited about?" He asks, I'm guessing to help me not be so embarrassed and awkward right now. He comes closer to me in the car, but still has his seat belt on. I look up to meet his eyes, the eyes that I can always get lost in and I don't mind it.

"Everything" I whisper, our eye contact still alive and well and I don't intend on breaking any time soon. "That's wonderful, Rose" He tells me, his voice is just above a whisper, but I did hear him. Like he heard my whisper. Now it is just the two of us in the world.

When he says my name, it makes my heart skip a beat and I blush, the way that he says my name, it rolls of his tongue and it feels right when it comes from his lips. The lips that I kissed only few hours ago and I wouldn't mind kissing again, I wouldn't mind kissing them all day.

I don't know why I'm always thinking like this now, I guess it's the fact that I'm falling in love with him. "Sir, we have arrived" His driver speaks, surprising and shocking the both of us and our beautiful and wonderful eye contact has been broken when Alexander turns to his driver.

I had forgotten about the driver, because I was so lost in his eyes. I notice that our hands are locked together, I don't remember it happening, but my hand fits right into his, like it was meant to be that way. My hand is naturally on the smaller side, but I like how it fits me in his hands.

He doesn't let go of my hand even when he had turned to the driver. "Park near the entrance, I like to avoid the rain as much as possible" Alexander says to the driver. It has been raining since this morning and a normal person would hate it.

But, I don't mind now. Even a small thing such as rain is not going to stop this happy day because I'm far too happy about this whole thing. I'm actually going to France and to Paris. There's just so much to see and do there and then there is that ball that I know I will love.

"Yes, sir" The driver answers and drives to the entrance of the airport. We get out of the car and we hurry inside to escape the pouring rain, I may think the rain will not ruin my day but wearing soaking wet clothes will ruin my day and the flight.

I really don't want to be wearing soaking wet clothes in the flight, it just wouldn't be as pleasant if that were to happen. "Wait right here, while I check us in" He says, and a man is waiting with us. Alexander's bodyguard, he had insisted that he needed a bodyguard in the trip.

Normally, he has men following him everywhere he goes, but now he wants to have him close to him and I think close to me now. His bodyguard doesn't say anything as he just stands there beside me. My phone buzzes in my pocket and I take it out.

The ID says the same as it did this morning, Damon Garder. I really don't want to speak to him, like last time I ignore his call. This isn't fair to him and I know, but I don't have any words to speak to him. He was so strange to me the last time I was with him and I think he's trying to apologize to me or something, I'm just not ready for that yet.

Besides, I have a lot on my mind right now, mainly Paris and this trip. But also my boss, the one that I've shared so many kisses with, I can't even remember how many of them we have shared, but I do know that I liked each and every one of them.

My phone is getting crazy with all the messages from Lena. Before I had gotten in the car with Alexander, I had texted Lena and told her where I'm going and with whom. Let's say she freaked out and as normally she wanted to know every single detail and she wants to know everything that I will be doing and have been doing.

It's like I took a step with my right foot and I have to tell her that, that is the reason why I'm not going to answer her now because she's going to be asking about every single thing I do. I don't think I will be able to do that since I want to enjoy this trip.

I don't know for how long it will last and I want to enjoy every single second of it, with Alexander. I do know that we will be spending the night in a hotel which means at least two days, but I will have to ask him about it. After about seven or ten minutes, Alexander returns.

"Come on, the plane is ready" He tells me and gestures me to follow him and I do. We walk in the airport, past all those people and everyone. I notice that we don't have to go through many gates or security things that people normally have to go through.

"I own this airport, I don't have to go through security gates and since you're my guest, you don't either" He tells me, probably noticing my confused look. That actually makes sense, believe it or not. "Is any business that doesn't belong to you?" I ask.

It seems that he owns every single company that I know of. He's always buying new ones every single day, and sooner or later, he will own every company in the country. "Yes, yours" He says with a smile on his face, while my confused look only gets wider.

"When you start your own business, I will make no move to buy it or try to make it my own. We will not be rivals" He tells me, somehow that was sweet, but I do not understand it. But, I don't question it further as we are about to board the plane.

Since we don't have any suitcases, it doesn't take long for us to go to the plane. I look outside the window before I go to the plane and I notice that on the side of it is the name of the company. Knight air. Seriously, he even has his name on an airplane.

That's actually kind of genius. "I'm going to assume that this plane is your private one?" I ask as we walk on the hallways that leads outside to the car that will take us to the plane. "Of course, nothing other than luxury for me and the lady always gets the best" He tells me as we get into the car.

I blush a bit from his words. I should have put on make-up this morning, or blush to hide my actual blushing state, that would have been better. "You're so full of yourself" I say as I watch outside the window when we are driving to the plane.

I see so many planes and I realize that I've never been to an airplane or gone so high up as they go. Suddenly I start to become more nervous than I was before. The nervousness is overtaking the excitement and that doesn't make this fun for me.

Alexander takes my hand into his. "You'll be all right, and I will be right beside you the whole time" He whispers in my ear. I turn my head to look at him. "Thank you, truly. It means a lot to me" I tell him. I think he could tell that I was looking at the airplane with a frightened look in my eyes.

I'm a bit afraid to go on the plane and when it takes off. I know I will be perfectly safe, but I have never been on a plane before and that is the reason for my fear. We stop in front of the plane and it's still raining, but that is the least of my problems at the moment.

"Come on, it will be all right" He tries to help me get over my fear, I think in his crazy stalker thing, he has figured out that I've never been on a plane and just wants to comfort me or something. "This is the safest plane in the world and the best pilot in the world will be flying it. Nothing will go wrong" He says and that actually makes me feel better.

I don't know if it were the words or the fact that he's the one who spoke them with his amazing voice that I do love listening to, but I don't care at the moment what is comforting me. "Ok, I can do this" I whisper to myself as I open the door of the car and get out. Hand in hand, we walk to the plane and go up the stairs and finally we enter the plane and I let out a gasp.
