redith stood in front of the wardrobe with her hands on her waist and a frown on her face. It was 5pm and she still didn't have a dress to wear to the dinner.
She wanted to wear the dress she had bought for the said gala but it was too complicated and she wanted to wear a simple dress. Atlas had sent her a ssage that he wanted them to watch the sunset together so they should go at 5:30pm.
Soone knocked on the door and she walked towards the door to open it.
She found the woman who had accompanied her throughout the day in front of her door. She had a package in her hand.
"Here, this is for you." She said with a soft smile on her face while she extended the package to her.
"Oh? Who is it from?" redith took the package from her with her brows knitted together.
"Mr. Martini said I should give it to you."
redith gave her small smile and nodded, "Alright. Thank you."
"Welco." The woman replied and left leaving redith alone with the package.
redith closed the door and walked back to her bed. She unwrapped the package and her eyes lit up when she saw what was inside.
There was a beautiful white puff sleeve tie front off shoulder slit thigh dress. She had no idea why he always chooses white dresses for her. But she had to admit he had quite the taste the dress he had chosen was subtle yet sexy. Exactly her style. A smile ford on her face. Her eyes fell on a note.
'Can't wait to take it off you tonight.'
redith blushed, so shaless. She thought inwardly before her eyes caught a white velvety box peeking from the package.
She took the box and opened it. Inside was a sliver guardian angel pendant necklace. A smile graced her lips as she stared at the necklace. It was so beautiful and perfectly represent his nickna for her.
redith looked at the watch and saw that she had a few minutes left. She put on the dress and applied a simple makeup. The colors of shadows, lips and blush bend beautifully to create a casual yet sophisticated look.
Her hair was curled and wrapped in a loose bun with the help of booby pins and elastic band. She pulled so of the curls to fra her face completing the look. She knew this was a casual date so she didn't want to go overboard.
"Hey are you done"
Atlas's voice sounded behind her. redith froze when she saw him at the door through the mirror. Black turtlenecks were her favorite shirt of his. She loved how it showed off his broad shoulders and the power he emanated. He was wearing one tonight paired with blue black jeans.
He walked towards her and stood behind her. "White is truly your color Angel."
redith blushed when she caught his gaze in the mirror. Atlas bent his head and he planted a kiss on the side of her neck.
redith shivered; a bolt of desire running through her. He pulled back and looked at her in the mirror.
"You so fucking beautiful Angel. Even the simplest dress make you look gorgeous."
The red deepened on her face, "Thank you."
"Hmmdid you see the necklace?" he asked her.
"Yeah." redith pointed to the box lying on the bed.
Atlas walked towards the bed and picked it up. redith watched as he opened the box and removed the necklace.
"I saw it at a local store and I thought it would look perfect on you." He slowly put it on her neck.
"So, fucking beautiful. My angel" He groaned while he eyes took in her features.
redith blushed at the desire fleeting in his eyes.
"Let's go before I ripped this dress from your body."
"I wouldn't mind that Sir." redith replied, biting her lips.
"Patient Angel, the night is still young. "
He intertwined their fingers and led her towards the door.
"Where are we going?" redith asked after a long mont of silence.
"You would know when we reach the place."
******
After ten minutes of walking, they finally stopped at a place. redith opened her mouth in awe while she stared at the scene in front of her. It was a cool, romantic, scene at the beach. She felt giddy the mont she saw the cushions on the floor with various pillows surrounding it for their comfort.
They reclined and before them was a table that contained their al, desserts and refreshnts.
Soon a man ca out of nowhere and lit the surrounding candles one by one in ti that the mont the sun set the surrounding lit up by the flas giving the scene a more romantic feel.
"Do you like it?"
Atlas whispered in her ears hugging her from behind.
"Yeah, for soone who doesn't believe in love you sure are romantic." redith let out a low chuckle.
Atlas smirked, "Like I said, I can give you everything except that."
redith turned to look at him, "I know. I have understood that you would never be mine but I hope maybe one day you would fall in love with soone who would love you in such a way you have never been loved before.
Love your toxic traits, selfishness and demons. There would be sothing different about her, sothing unforgettable and she would make you love without falling in love."
Atlas snorted and flicked her forehead, "Those books have started ssing up your mind, Angel."
redith snuck her tongue at him, "I would wait for that day."
Atlas rolled his eyes, "If I want to fall in love, you would be the one, Angel."
redith's heart skipped in her chest. She never thought he would even consider her like that. Such a plain girl like her? What does he even see in her?
The question inside her head made her chest tightened. But she didn't want to ask or elaborate what he had said.. Now she would just enjoy her mont with him.
