I Was Falling

Seline.

FALLING.

It's been a week now since I and Felix has been staying together and I have to say, our love has blossomed alot. Felix does everything in his power to spoil and treasure me.

Ever since the night we had our first sex together, the night he took my purity, he worshipped the ground I walked on, acting so sweet and caring.

"I will be back soon, let me just see the old man outside the estate." He told me, giving me a peck on the cheeks before winking and leaving.

Butterflies fluttered in my heart and I found myself breaking into a smile. Just then, my phone pang alerting me I had an email. I immediately turned my attention elsewhere.

It could be a reply from Damien, the colleague I got to try and put in a good word for me at his workplace. My heart skipped a beat as I saw the email was from him.

I shut my eyes to steady my breathing which was turning heavy before I opened the mail only to see a rejection notice.

"We are sorry, but we wouldn't be able to recruit you as one of us." I read out loud, feeling my heart breaking with each words.

'But why? I made sure everything was perfect and I was assured that my bad record at my previous workplace wouldn't affect this.' I thought, before deciding to call Damien and inquire what was wrong.

I hurriedly dailed his number and waited patiently as the phone rang. He didn't pick at first, and I began to overthink.

'Was he avoiding me?' Just then, my phone rang and I looked at it to see it was him calling back.

I hurriedly picked it.

"Hello. I recieved a rejection notice." I got straight to the point immediately and he let out a heavy sigh.

"I am so sorry Seline, but it seems someone powerful is trying hard to make sure you are not recruited anywhere." He said and I took in a sharp breath, my grip on the phone tightening.

"But I was assured the misunderstanding that happened at my previous company wouldn't affect this job because they are reinvestigating." I told him and Damien snorted.

"Not your previous company, did you offend someone powerful? because it seemed to me whosoever is behind this is trying to ruin your life." Damien said and I bit my lower lips hard.

I hadn't offended anyone. It was known I was sort of a peaceful person. 

'Could the break-in that happened back then have anything to do with this?' I wondered.

"Nope. Not that I know of." I responded.

"See, I don't know Seline, but I think you should really be watchful. I am sorry again." He apologized, then ended the call before I could say anything more.

I dropped my phone, then entered a deep thought. The new maid Felix had just hired in thought of me brought my meal but I didn't have the appetite to chew anything so I had her take it away.

I was still brooding, my heart hurting when Felix returned and looked at me with worries in his eyes.

"Everything alright sweetie?" He questioned tenderly, stroking my hair with his hand. I wanted to talk, but found I couldn't so I just shook my head at him.

"You seem down." He noted and I looked away from him.

'I am down. I couldn't continue to rely on Felix, I needed to work, make my own man and stand on feet. He wasn't complaining but I still didn't plan on taking advantage of that.' I thought.

"Alright, get up. Seems I have been talking to myself all along." Felix said and I could hear the hard, stern note in it but decided to ignore.

"Sorry." He ignored and just helped me up, into the bathroom where he bath me gently before getting back into my room.

"Get dressed. I will come and get you in 20." He said and I frowned.

"Why? Are we going somewhere?" I asked and he grinned.

"Ofcourse. You look sad, and I guess you don't want to talk about it for you don't seem like you do so I am going to cheer you up." He explained and a smile broke out on my face.

I dragged him by the collar towards me, our faces just inches apart.

"Why do you have to be so sweet?" I inquired and he smirked.

"Only for my baby." He replied and I kissed him on the lips, to which he took control wrapping his hand around me tightly, his other hand moving downwards to squeeze and smack my butt.

"Get dressed or I will eat you up right here and now." He warned, breaking the kiss.

I giggled against his lips, stretching out my tongue to lick his bottom lips, tempting him to go ahead but he seemed to figure me out before he just slapped my butt again before leaving.

I pouted to the empty room, suddenly feeling lonely and deciding to get dressed quickly so I could be with him again.

"Here, eat this so you can have strength for our activities today." He told me as he handed me a bag of mouth-watery snacks and a bottle of my favorite, apple juice.

All of a sudden, my appetite returned and my stomach grumbled. My cheeks heat up as I watched Felix bit back a laugh before opening his can of coke and taking a long gulp.

I forgot my food and watched as his throat moved, a drop spilling from his mouth, rolling downwards to this throat. I gulped, suddenly feeling thirsty.

He finished then seemed to catch me staring for the side of his lips curled up evily. My eyes widened and I immediately pretended to be looking elsewhere, ripping my snack out and munching on it.

He helped me out of the car, took my hand, then led me into a lovely garden filled with couples, some with kids, some without. Like us. As we settled down on the grassy ground, I watched a couple playing with their daughter.

The father was twirling her around, and she was laughing excitedly, kicking the air with her foot while her mother sat on the ground watching them with love in her eyes, while trying to arrange their meals.

When done, she got up and I noticed she was heavy with another. I smiled happily, excited for her and hoping it was a boy this time. I removed my eyes from them to see Felix a few distance away from me, on call.

'Would we ever be like them one day? Married and with kids?' I pondered and gasped, wondering why the hell my mind went towards that side.

"Enjoying the view?" He questioned as he returned back to my side, taking me into his arms and picking my forehead.

I sighed, feeling blissfully as I relaxed against his chest. I didn't even take notice of the scenery but now that I was seeing it, it was beautiful.

A secluded, little, place built, located in a quiet corner of the palace, and it was also filled with vibrant flower beds of roses, daisies, and tulips, their petals glistening with dew under the morning sun.

A table stood in the middle of the garden, surrounded by some chairs in a warm arena, under a blooming, cherry tree, where a breeze came out to surround us.

The air we breathe in here is so fragrant and alluring, with mingling scents of jasmine and lavender. 

Everything was just perfect.

"Thank you." I appreciated, turning to look him in the eyes.

"For?" He drawled.

"Everything, especially this. I feel happy again." I answered, deciding to put the job loss behind me for now and he chuckled, stealing a quick kiss from my lips.

"Oh love! This is little to what I have planned next." He said and my eyeballs widened.

"Really? Whatelse could you have planned?" I questioned, feeling curious and he just smiled.

"Wait till then." He said and pinched my nose to which I frowned at, pouting my lips at him. I kinda regret doing that for his eyes darkened next, followed by him eating up my lips like his favorite food.

.......

.......

"Felix." I squealed, my jaw dropping at the sight Infront of me. We were Infront of the damn Gucci store. My favorite brand. This was one of the places I listed in my diary for my to-do list.

"How do you know about this?" I questioned and he furrowed his brows at me.

"About what?" 

"That this store is my favorite and dream place to go." I answered and he narrowed his eyes at me.

"It is? I didn't know but I do know ladies love shopping and this brand right there happens to be trending so.." He explained with a shrug but I wasn't really paying attention to him anymore.

I just dashed inside the store, ready to spend and twirl. Halfway through the purchases, with Felix picking out everything I touched or looked at for me, I remembered I was broke.

"You are so nice." I told him truthfully, rubbing his arms as he gave his card to the cashier at the desk for payment.

"Don't mention, I take care of what is mine." He told me with a grin. My heart began to melt as my heart pounded fast.

I was falling.
