Last- Her Fairytale
~ Sebastian ~
It was Sunday and a whole week since I left Eileen at her parents place. This week was tormenting to spend without her, especially not having time to tell her how exhilarated and grateful I am but this was my chance.
Nothing could go wrong nor I will let it.
Getting ready, upon Milady's demand, I wore a maroon suit jacket with a white shirt in matching with her gown. I wore nothing black.
She brought colors to my closet ,how she brought colors to my life.
With an uncontrollable smile, I bought a bouquet of roses and went to see Eileen, dressed gracefully in the maroon dress, shining with her charms, increasing my heartbeats.
'Hey." Waving sweetly, she came closer, wrapping her hands around my neck.
'For you," Using my smoothest voice, I gave her the bouquet.
'Thank you." She smiled while taking it, closing our gap, 'You look devilishly handsome, you know?" Winking, her eyes scanned my body from top to bottom, stopping at my eyes.
Smirking back, I grabbed her waist, pressing her closer to mine so I could indulge in our closeness.
'What is my merest look before the ruler of my heart?" Whispering seductively, I held her chin and was about to lean down to capture her lips with mine.
I couldn't control myself to not do that but the sound of a clearing throat came.
'I know you are excited, Eileen but I believe someone said he could steal you away from me." Mr Lior called, gaining our attention.
Laughing a little, I pulled away from Eileen a little.
'Yeah, tell me how are you going to do it?" Eileen teased, poking me with her elbow.
'I don't need to steal you now."
Clearing my throat, I bowed, placing my hand over my heart gallantly, extending my other hand towards Eileen.
'I believe you have my most beautiful and precious possession, Mr Lior. I am here to take her back. Could you please return her?"
I used my most charming tone, looking up at Eileen grinning beautifully at me, gleeful to find her at my peak of desire and need. As my reason to exist, being my exception.
'What do you say, Eileen?" Mr Lior shrugged his shoulders as all of us turned to Eileen.
'Let's go home, Fairy." Whispering, nothing cheesy came to my mind and I said the first words which came from the bottom of my heart.
'Sure." Giggling, she took my hand, waving goodbye to her parents as we left for home.
'Ah, we look so good together. I knew maroon would look good on both of us." She giggled because she was the one who picked our outfits but she knew nothing else.
'You look beautiful in everything." I complimented, glancing at her from time to time.
'You said it, I believe it." She smirked, holding her head. We both looked at each other for a second and broke into a chuckle as we reached our destination.
Our home where it all started and was going to end.
'Sebastian…?" Her mouth gaped when we entered the castle of her dreams.
Getting off immediately, she saw the house was lit with lightning, decorated delicately according to her liking to welcome my Queen back to her domain.
Coming from behind, I hugged her, kissing her neck lovingly, 'Happy late anniversary, my love."
Placing my palm under her hand I move it forward, toward our home, 'Welcome to your fairytale, Eileen." Whispering temptingly, I rested my head against her.
'It looks so beautiful from outside. Let's go. I want to see from inside."
Beaming, she pulled away, too excited to see everything and was about to run inside but I smirked and grabbed her wrist, stopping her from rushing.
'Not like this."
Pulling her to me, before she could fall on my chest, I picked her up like a bridal style. Bringing a deep scarlet shade to her cheek as our eyes collided and we forgot the world.
Nothing else existed the instant I picked her up, living my buried dreams in her shades, the most beautiful moments of my life.
'Allow your man to lead the way." Whispering, I leaned down, kissing her head.
'Sure…"
Nodding shyly, she wrapped her arms around my neck as I led us inside where she was greeted with a shower of rose petals, greeting their Madam.
I led her to the dining hall, making her sit as I served her favorite food I cooked myself. I was learning how to cook a perfect beef steak all this week. I am not the best at cooking but I tried my best.
'There you go, Ma'am. Especially made for you by me."
'Really? Let's see." Humming, she took a bite and by her expressions, I could tell her was impressed.
'That's so good, Sebastian, when did you learn to make it?" She asked, taking another bite.
'That is why it took me a week." I told her nervously.
'Also, I am sorry, Eileen, I know I am a criminal and a sinner but I cannot leave my work. Your protection is my responsibility and I cannot risk it. I hope you will understand." I said hesitantly, hoping she wouldn't mind me continuing the work from the underworld.
'I understand. It's okay. Besides, it feels prideful to have a man this world fears. I am all down for it." She reassured me, giving my hand a squeeze which tranquilized me.
She giggled as we had dinner together but I couldn't help but to stop eating. Resting my elbow on the table, I stared intensely at her face.
She was talking constantly, telling what she did this week and sinking into her talks. A smile reached my lips, scrutinizing how her lips were moving, how she was taking a bite, laughing along the way.
'And then I told Sofia-"
'You are so exquisite, you know?" Speaking lovingly, I brought my hand closer and pinched her cheek but not roughly, pulling them slightly.
'How could one be so beautiful? Are you a dream or my deepest desire? What exactly are you, Eileen?" Asking, my fingers trailed down, taking the fork from her hand and feeding her myself.
She paused and turned to me, caressing the side of my face, providing me with life by her one stroke,
'I don't know myself, there is nothing about me. But the fact I am yours- makes me special, my love." Whispering, the sensations of her fingers gave me a solace I never thought of receiving.
My smile grew wider as she continued, 'Being yours is my privilege. I got to be the first love who was supposed to be ruthless, who was a beast."
'Don't be wrong, I am still am-" I corrected her and then we both said at the same time.
'But to this world."
She flashed a toothy smile, cupping my cheek, 'Exactly. It is my fortune to be your exception, your lover. The one who couldn't love became my lover. How lucky I could be?" Whispering, she shared her perception with me but mine was a contract from hers.
'You think you are lucky? And me? Who is forced at the edge to confess? Do you remember how many times you tried to make me say I love you? You made me, Eileen. You brought me here, to the most felicitous moment of my life." Kissing her hand, we pulled away a little.
'I think we both are meant for each other." Eileen suggested a peace offering because if we started talking about this, that would be too long.
I was her fortune and she was mine. That's it.
'Eat your food now and stop staring, you are making me nervous." She mumbled, tugging her hair behind her ear as we continued our dinner filled with the sound of chattering and laughter.
After dinner, we went to our room which I changed a little. I rearranged things and embellishments.
I placed flowers and vases everywhere. Our portraits were all over the walls, especially the one from our honeymoon where she smiled for the first time.
'What do you think? I am not that bad at decorating, am I?" Asking delightfully, my hands gripped hers rigidly, wondering what she would think.
'I.. don't know what to say, Sebastian. This room looks so different and so beautiful. You did a wonderful job." Laughing, she was about to jump into my arms but I held her waist because the doctor refrained her from any exercise. She was given complete rest.
'Hey, hey, careful, no jumping." Whispering, I stopped her.
'Sorry. I got too excited." Giggling, she embraced me tightly.
'I couldn't express my content, Sebastian. Thank you so much for giving yourself, for giving us a chance. Having you with me was my most profound yearning and now we are here. It feels surreal. I never want to leave it. I want your love, I want you. I love you so much. Please remain mine forever. Never leave my shades. Ever"
Exclaiming with sorrow mixing with her voice, she hugged me tightly, kissing my neck.
Her voice broke, pulling my coat roughly, melting into a moment which brought tears in our eyes from happiness.
'Don't worry my love, I am here and always will be. Nothing could pull us apart. I love you too, I don't know how to thank the fate which brought you to me. You have given me life, Eileen. I love you so badly."
Losing my breath, my grip became firm. My sound was croaked too, hopeless in her matter. Snuggling in her arms, I shut my eyes so I could drown in the life she blessed me with.
'I know the origin of our bond was fake, I did terrible things to you, I treated you so badly but not anymore. Things have changed. I have changed. It has passed and I would ensure no cloud of grief reaches you ever again."
Tear glistening in our eyes, we both pulled away, knitting our gazes together to carve a moment we could never forget.
'I have faith in us, nothing could steal our ‘happily ever after' from us." She grinned.
Shifting her hand, she pressed her palm over my heart, blessing my soul with solace. With an everlasting symphony connecting our souls to regard them as one.
'Welcome to a new version of a deepest desire, Sebastian."
We both chuckled at her declaration but she was not wrong. Her love had become mine now and mine hers.
A new heartbeat was born when we met. This moment was before us and it was time to kiss the felicity.
What a merciful moment for a man like me.
'I welcome you too to your fairytale, Eileen." I said seductively, holding her chin. She blushed and lowered her gaze as I leaned down.
Gripping my shirt, I shifted my other hand to her neck, brushing my lips over hers. Closing our eyes we found utter peace in the momentary darkness where our lips greeted.
Smiling in the kiss, our lips moved in a perfect sync as if they were made for each other. Holding each other in vicinity, winning the wars we once had with ourselves and accepting each other.
Taking it in deep and passionate to pour all our emotions, we sealed the painful but redemptive journey of ours with a kiss of love.
Eradicating what happened by this passing night and starting a new life where nothing but gratification awaits as I released one sentence wholeheartedly.
…Thank you, Eileen, for becoming my deepest desire…
The End.
