Damian's cheek and neck turn pink with the intent look in Vaidehi's face.
He cleared his throat before looking at her, "I need to tell you something." He gulped and looked nervous and anxious, "Something about me. "
Vaidehi could sense that something was wrong and it is definitely related to his past.
"You don't have to if you're not comfortable right now. " She said with a smile and held his hand that was on gear.
She intertwined their fingers and smiled shyly.
One look at Vaidehi and Damien knew he need to clear her about his feeling as well as his past.
His heart did summersaults with the way Vaidehi was holding his hand.
He knew one thing that, no matter what he can't let go of her. The thought itself is terrible and horrific.
And things were no different for Vaidehi.She knew that he is the one. The way her heart beat fasten everytime he was near, the way she can sense his presence even without looking for him, she way her world lights up everytime he smiles her way.
Everything.Everything about him was special. He was special.
Shy smile was plastered on her face and she felt tingling sensation all over her right hand as Damien was making soft circles on the back of her hand.
She turned her and observed him. Chiseled jaw, high cheekbones, sharp nose and plumped lip. and the five o'clock shadow on his face made him look no less than Greek God.
He smirked know very well that Vaidehi was checking him out.
"Can't get enough of this face? " He said starling her.
"I was not checking you out! " Vaidehi blurted and looked down in embarrassment.
"I know, I am hot. Even I get attracted with this hot face of mine. " He said a smirked looking at her.
"Yes, sure. You are hot. As hot as smashed potato." She giggled and poked his cheeks.
Damien just gave her a pointed look but a smile was plastered on his face.

And he was sure that he was falling, hard and fast –for her.

When Vaidehi got out of washroom , she saw a packet with a note that states open me.
She gaped looking at the blue gown that was packed inside the box.
She turned to check the note and smile when she saw that, he had asked her to meet him near the garden.
She squealed and held the dress in her hand and swayed back and forth in excitement.
She quickly got ready and made her way toward the garden.

Few hours ago when they just reach the farm house.
Damien has freshen up and was packing the dress he has bought for Vaidehi.
He suddenly got a call from another unknown number.

"What secret are you talking about!? "

And the line went dead.
All Damien could think of was who that mysterious voice could be and what he was talking about.

He sighed and walked out of the room with the gift packet.

Vaidehi walked down from the staircase and she looked around in awe. The decode of the the house was so aesthetically pleasing.
She could only gasp in surprise at the little detailing if this house.
She than walked out of the house to the garden that was in the backyard.
And soon as she reached, she let out an audible gasp.

Her heart did a summersault when he pulled the chair for her.
"Chivalry is not dead, eh? "She said with a teasing smile.
"Oh, you're yet to see a lot of my chivalrousness, milady." He said in his husky voice and Vaidehi turned red understanding the hidden meaning behind his words.
They made some small talked while eating dinner that Damien has cooked all by himself.
He cleared this throat and looked at her.
"Can I have the honor to dance with you, Milady ?" He stood next to her and bowed down a little.

"Neither I am Prince Charming. I am just a man with many flaws. But I am selfish to let go of you." He breathed as he leaned closer.
