A black BMW made its way on the busy highway, Azriel had his left hand on the wheel while his right held Nesryn's hand tightly. He would constantly lift their hands in front of his lips and would place a kiss on it.
Making her blush every time he did it.
The radio filled the silence between the two. The car made its way underground to a huge building. He turned off the engine and got out of the car, immediately running to the other side and opening Nesryn's door.
"I could have opened it" she muttered, he flashed her a smile and placed a hand on her lower back, leading her inside the building.
He opened the door for her and Nesryn looked at him, amused. Azriel bought them tickets and got their unlimited pass wristband.
"Since you love water, I thought you might want to see the life inside it. I welcome you to the newly bought Linus Aquarium," he said, opening the door, revealing a huge 7 feet tank filled with different kinds of saltwater fish.
Nesryn looked around in awe as the water glistened as the light hit, creating a very magical illusion that makes you think you're also under water. Azriel watched as she ran near the tank and looked at the sea creatures present.
He just stepped back and watched her from behind, her smile and glittering sapphire colored eyes filled with awe was more than enough to make him fall in love all over again. The two took their time exploring the huge aquarium.
Every time she saw something new to her she would instantly run to it, leaving Azriel all alone. He would quickly make way to her side though, before she disappears from his line of sight.
"Huh? How come no one is here?" Nesryn said out loud, noticing the silence that filled the room.
No noisy footsteps of children running or adults talking to each other, she looked around to see that they were the only one in there.
"It seems like you didn't notice, the management announced that the aquarium will close in 5 minutes" Azriel calmly said, walking beside her.
��What?! Then why are we still here? Come one we have to go" Nesryn said, holding his hand as she tried to drag him, but he stayed on his spot, not even moving an inch "Aziel come one we have to go" she urged him but he stayed silent.
She turned back into him, when he suddenly held her hand tightly and pulled her to him, immediately catching her with his broad chest "I ordered the management to close the aquarium earlier than normal" he said, wrapping an arm around her slim waist.
She looked up to him, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion "bu...but how?" she stuttered "Didn't you notice what I said earlier? In the parking lot?" he asked and she looked at him curiously, before getting lost in her own thoughts.
He didn't utter a single word and just let her realize what he wanted to say.
He looked at her and noticed how her eyes slowly widened "You...You brought...the…. the aquarium" she slowly said and Azriel nodded.
"I bought it earlier this day when I was thinking about where to take you for the night, do you like it?" he asked, a smile appeared on his face.
"You, you bought this aquarium just for our date?" she asked and he just nodded, pressing his lips on her forehead "Everything is worth it if it's all for you" he whispered to himself, before he pulled back and continued to lead her to different tanks, including the reptile chamber and the sharks.
The two had a very special dinner in the aquarium's restaurant. The private room of the restaurant had a built in aquarium and the fishes swam free, sometimes stopping in front of them, before swimming away again.
The chefs immediately served their new owner a grand dinner, he especially instructed them not to cook any seafood for Nesryn's sake.
She was so focused on her food that she didn't even notice the loving eyes Azriel kept sending her. They ate dinner in silence, letting the sound of the waterfall soothe their mind.
The two went back to the resort around 11 pm, Azriel walked her back to her room first, entering her room and closing the door behind them, he kissed her goodnight in the privacy of her own room, before leaving her with a kiss then going back to his room for the night.
He went to bed as soon as he changed into pajamas. Every employee was able to sleep fully that night, those sleeping in the tent were lulled to sleep by the crashing of waves while others stayed awake, staring at the night sky with a cup of hot chocolate on hand.
The next day, sunshine filtered through the curtains of Nesryn's room, hitting her pale face. She rolled over to the other side to avoid the sun but she let out a frustrated sigh when she couldn't go back to sleep.
She sat up, face clearly saying 'I am in a bad mood, don't talk to me' muttering profanity under her breath as she willed herself to the bathroom.
It took her 25 minutes to finish showering and dressing up.
She put on an extra large, button up, white polo shirt before putting on a gold-buckled, black belt around her tummy. She rolled up the sleeves and more a black, wedged heels.
After putting her hair in a high ponytail and grabbing her bag, she left her room, door locked behind her.
She made her way to the room next door. She pulled out her iPad from the bag before knocking on the door. Nesryn waited patiently despite being in a bad mood, having her focus on the iPad she didn't notice the door opening and neither Azriel, standing on the door, topless.
He sneakily hooked an arm around her waist, pulling her to his chest and immediately closing the door behind her. She let out a startled yelp before raising her head and glaring at him.
He just flashed her s cheeky smile, before letting her go and walking back to his bed.
Nesryn watched in frustration as her suitor slumped himself back to the comforts of the bed, his eyes closed. She let out a frustrated sigh, clearly not in the mood to cater her boss's wish to sleep in.
"Though I love seeing your peaceful face when sleeping, you have to get up, you have a meeting today" she said, loud enough for her boss to hear.
"What's got your panties in a twist" Aziel murmured, still having his eyes closed. He didn't see the mischievous glint appearing in her sapphire colored eyes nor heard her silent footsteps making its way to the fridge in the room.
She silently took out a cold bottle of water, uncapping it and slowly made her way back to Azriel.
"I said get up, we're going to be late sir" she 'politely' said before pouring the contents of the bottle on Azriel, who let out a yelp and immediately stood up, he glared at Nesryn with no real heat behind his glare.
Nesryn tried her best not to laugh while looking at her soaked boss, his long hair making him look like a lost shih tzu. She grabbed one of the hotel towels before ushering him yet again to the bathroom.
Having no say in the matter, he just followed her others, his mind deep in thought about what could possibly get on her nerves.
Trying not to get on her bad side than he already was, Azriel followed everything Nesryn told him all day without no arguments.
He hates it when she gets mad, though another side of him shivers in delight whenever he sees the sapphire colored eyes fired up whenever she is feeling angry or irritated.
The rest of the team building challenges got done without a hitch, the grand prize was a new set of laptops that was immediately given out to the winners.
Night time came and with Nesryn's amazing ability to convince his client to fit all his meetings on the first half of the day, they were able to get back to the resort with enough time to prepare Azriel's gift for the staff.
Nesryn made her way back to Azriel's room, his card key on her hand. He ordered two of his bodyguards to accompany her with an excuse of helping her with the bags but was just really for her protection.
Three resort staff walked behind them each pushing a trolley, Nesryn stopped in front of the door and swiped the card key before entering. She looked around first before gesturing for her entourage to do the same.
Everybody listened as she pointed out what to take and what items are going to be left in the room.
Her trained, observant eyes quickly scanned the room, making sure they didn't leave anything behind, she did notice a familiar brand name in the corner of her eye.
Nesryn quickly shrugged it off and picked it up and brought it with her, before locking the door again. She placed the paper bag on the trolley before leading the group back to the event hall.
Azriel let out a breath of relief upon seeing his beloved return safely, he walked towards her and met her halfway, aware of the hundred pairs of eyes that looked at them.
He stared at Nesryn and the two communicated through their eyes before he broke the eye contact and made his way to the trolleys, checking if something was out of place, not that his secretary would make a mistake.
He did notice the bag that has the jewelry shop's brand name amongst the gift, he debated with himself whether to take the bag and hide it or just let it be, in the end he just let the bag be on the trolley.
The MC made his way to the stage "Now everyone, please direct your attention to the stage. As per tradition, each department has their own version of exchanged gifts, now head to your departments and form a circle, the venue should be large enough to make 7 circles."
Nesryn watched as people moved to their respective departments, she quietly stayed by Azriel's side, no one seemed to notice his extended hand that was on her lower back, a couple of inches away from her butt. She didn't pry it off and just let him be.
Soon enough everybody stood in their own circles and an upbeat music filled the room, making others bop their heads to the beat. "Now let the party begin!" The MC yelled and people started moving in the circle, spinning 2 times before facing their partner and giving them the gifts.
Nesryn watched in amusement at the scene, no matter how many times she'd seen this, it would always be fun for her.
The exchanging of gifts lasted for 15 minutes, and the crowd cheered. Azriel walked up to the stage, Nesryn by her side and the guards placed the trolleys in front of the stage, in full display. Some eyed the gifts and some started whispering to themselves what their boss prepared for them this year.
"Another year has passed and our company soared higher than the last, I could not have done it without the help of all of you. You are the reason why Linus Zenon is still number one and I hope you would continue to support them in the upcoming years.
From the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank each and everyone of you, for your service.
I hope with these words in mind you would continue doing your best in your jobs. Merry Christmas and I wish you all the best!" Azriel loudly spoke on the mic and the crowd cheered before he went down and walked in front of the trolley.
Nesryn quietly following him "Now please, line up and receive your gifts!" he yelled as loud as he could.
The two alongside 3 more guards started giving the paper bags of gifts away, he watched in delight as some cheered when they opened the gift.
Some came up to him and thanked him, he just flashed them a smile before saying "No, thank you, for supporting me and the company" sincerity both flowing out of him with his words and eyes.
The party ended at around 11 pm and they all went home with satisfied smiles on their face and an arm filled with luxurious gifts, both from the company and their colleagues.
The two got back to the mansion around the same time the sun started shining through the horizon. The butler greeted the two and made it his task to grab their suitcases and immediately had the maids separate the used clothes and the clean ones.
Azriel led Nesryn to their private wing, where their bedrooms were.
He placed a kiss on her forehead before pecking her lips and muttering a silent 'goodnight', waiting for her to go back to her room before making way to his.
He dropped the small bag containing the jewelry before immediately plopping down on the bed and letting sleep consume him.
The 59-year old butler didn't bother waking his master up for breakfast, seeing the dark bags under his eyes, he immediately ordered the maids to let the two sleep and forbade them to go to his master's bedroom wing.
Unaware of the silhouette sneaking its way in the wing.
