Chapter 92: Chapter 92 On one knee *ALORA*
Caden was taking me on a little getaway today.
Just the two of us.
He said this was his mother’s favorite place. It was a Cabin his mother left for him.
After about an hour drive, he slowly came to a halt at the side of the cabin.
I got down and stared in admiration at the beautiful flowers surrounding the little house.
He walked around the car and scooped me into his arms.
“Let me give you a tour around the house. And then we’ll have a boat-ride.”
I smiled, excitedly. “I love the sound of that.”
He hurried towards the house. At the porch, he almost tripped but quickly held me tightly so I didn’t fall off his arms.
We laughed.
“Klutz.” I teased.
He walked into the cabin then he lowered me down, I smiled staring at the furnitures, the chimney and the paintings.
𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦 He told me about the paintings. His mother had been an art lover, each painting had a beautiful meaning.
I could tell he missed her a lot.
She sounded like an amazing woman and I wished I had gotten to meet her. I made up my mind to always shower her son with love so she wouldn’t have to worry about him.
Everything about this house was comfy and cozy, it might have become my favorite place, just that, my favorite place was anywhere Caden was.
“It has two bedrooms, a sitting room, a restroom and a kitchen, a lake is at the back.” He explained.
“Have you come here before? You know since...” I paused, realizing I shouldn’t have brought out a sensitive topic.
But he smiled at me and replied. “Yeah. My mom brought me here a time or two when she was alive but she came here most times alone...just her. It was like her safe place. And now, coming here with you makes me understand why. This is a safe place for the two of us. I have been here a few times since she passed. I love the quiet environment.”
My lips stretched into a smile.”I want to see the lake.”
“Okay. This way.” He took my hand and we walked out the back door.
I gasped seeing the big lake, two boats laid at the bay.
“Let’s take a ride on the boat.” I squealed and ran closer to the bay, taking the paddles.
He laughed as he hurried over to me.
I sat on the boat while Caden pushed it into the lake, he got on too using two paddles to propel the boat as it continued moving.
We had a fun boat ride and after that, we went fishing.
I haven’t gone fishing before so he took his time teaching me how to fish.
He caught two big fishes and I caught none. And boy, did he tease me playfully about it.
****************
We settled for making fish barbecue with the fishes he caught.
He insisted on doing that himself so while he set up the barbecue stand. I had a shower and changed into lighter clothes for I felt sweaty.
I headed outside and heat drenched my cheeks immediately taken in Caden who was clad in just a pair of sweatpants.
His chest was bare and those hard, impressive muscles of his made me feel so horny.
“Hey, babe.” He beamed at me and that felt so seductive.
I could see his eyes running through every inch of my body.
I smiled.
I moved closer to him to see that he was almost done preparing the fish.
Wanting to playfully scare him, I thought of an idea.
“SNAKE!” I screamed, frantically.
Caden quickly made me stand behind him, shielding me with his body and ready to attack the snake.
“Where?! Where is it?!”
“In my imagination.”I replied, laughing.
He turned to face me, surprised.
“You!I really thought...”
I laughed, harder. “You’re so gullible.” I teased.
He burst out laughing. “Don’t scare me like that. But best believe, if there really were a snake right now, I would have twisted it and snapped it in half.” He said, dramatically.
I giggled. “Oh, aren’t you such a Superman.”
And then he smiled. “I am.”
I wanted to continue teasing him then I saw a slight reddish spot of his finger.
I quickly held his hand.
“This wasn’t here before.”
“It’s just a slight burn, I mistakenly touched the bar...”
“How can you always mistakenly scald yourself?!” I queried. “I don’t like seeing you hurt.”I pouted.
He cupped my cheeks. “I’m sorry,my love.I’ll be more careful, I promise.”
I eyed him as he pressed his lips against my forehead.
And then I watched him bring out a small parcel from his pocket.
My lips parted as he went down on one knee.
He opened the parcel and it was a marquise diamond ring.
I gasped at how exquisitely beautiful it looked.
But we already had wedding rings.
What was he doing?
