Third person's pov
Holding her hand, he led her down the path to the table. She wanted to protest but he didn't let her. Without a choice, she reluctantly followed him. He sat on the chair, saying,
"Sit"
glaring at him, she sat. What kind of man he is, not a gentleman for sure! She thought when he didn't pull the chair for her to sit instead ordered her. Turning her face away from him towards the ocean, she took in the view, if only someone else and the situation were different she would have enjoyed this so-called forceful date and would be over the moon for being treated so specially. But alas she is so unlucky, the devil boring holes on the side of her head is her unwanted husband and date for tonight. Sighing, she licked her lips which felt too swollen and sensitive from his aggressive kissing. God, she hated it too much. Here she is, sitting across from him, if it were to her she would have been long gone.
Elijah looked at her, looking away. From the way she was behaving, he can tell she is back to being herself. Really, just kissing brought her back to herself. He should have done that before already. His doe really is so immature. Just do the things she doesn't like then boom she becomes annoying, irritated, and childish. That's what he likes about her. His lips twitch despite himself. He was still angry but he can control himself, and school his feelings and emotions. And right now he wants to enjoy this night and date with his doe whether she likes it or not. Picking up the napkin placed on the table, he spoke up,
"Look at me when I am with you"
gritting her teeth, she faced him. What does he think of himself, the controlling jerk! Thought Meera biting her tongue to not speak it out aloud. Fixing the napkin on his lap, he stared at her who sat tensed, doing nothing. She noticed him giving her a look, shifting uncomfortably in her seat, she asked him,
"What?"
"Well, don't just sit, follow my lead"
he told her lifting the lid off the plates placed on the table before him. After looking at her he waited for her to do the same. Whispering profanities under her breath, she reluctantly did the same. Seriously, he was getting on her nerves, the nerve of him ordering her around on their date, it should be him doing all these things for her but no!
Amusement lightened his face seeing her grumping. This is what he enjoyed the most. He felt his anger slowly dissipate. He began eating his food while gesturing for her to eat too. Tightly holding the fork and spoon, she with force dipped the spoon in the food. Scowling, she ate. She looked like an angry kitten drinking milk while holding the spoon and fork in her clenched claws. So hilarious and adorable. He could have laughed but instead, an amused smile graced his lips while he chewed. She saw him smiling, and feeling more irritated, she pointed the fork at him, raising her one eyebrow in warning. He chuckled softly, nodding. She raised and widened her eyes with sass pulling back her hand with the fork. He shook his head sideways.
They both ate the food in silence.
A piece of soft music broke the silent atmosphere suddenly. Meera perked up. Listening closely, it was earned it by the weekend. She wondered from where it started, who started it. Turning to him, he held up a remote showing her it was him. She narrowed her eyes, but he only stood up coming to her side. Holding her hand he said,
"Dance with me"
"What! No!"
not minding her words, he simply led her on the deck. Placing her other hand on his shoulder, he held her waist, pulling her closer to him. He swayed both of them to the music.
You make it look like it's magic,
Cause I see nobody, nobody,but,
you, you, you,
I am never confused,
hey, hey,
and I am so used to being used,
So I love when you call unexpected,
Cause I hate when the moment's expected,
So I 'ma care for you, you, you, you,
Cause girl you are perfect,
You're always worth it,
And you deserve it,
the way you work it,
Cause girl you earned it, yeah,
Girl you earned it, yeah,
He twirled her around, pulled and dipped her down then. Every word of the lyrics was as if he was telling her. She couldn't look away from him. He was graceful. Danced so well. She didn't know he can dance so well. Whereas, she can't even put her foot right. But again, he led her around while dancing so wonderfully it felt like she can dance well. With her back to his chest, he swayed them. Burying his face in her neck, he moved his head along the length of her neck tracing his lips on her skin. She threw her neck back on his shoulder from the foreign sensation she felt. Gently biting her ear, he jerked her forward then pulled back crashing her on his chest.
You know our love would be tragic
So you don't play it no,
mind, mind, mind ,
we live with no lies
hey, hey,
And you are my favourite kind of night
So I love when you call unexpected
Cause I hate the moment's expected
So I' ma care for you, you, you,
I' ma care for you, you, you,you,
Yeah
Cause girl you are perfect,
You're always worth it,
And you deserve it,
the way you work it,
Cause girl you earned it, yeah,
Girl you earned it, yeah,
Staring deep in her eyes, he held the side of her face, gently tracing her bottom lip. His eyes followed the action of it getting darker. She tightens her hold on his shoulder. Pulling her closer by her waist he dips her down, his lips brushing hers.
One that lonely night
said it wouldn't be love
But we felt the rush(fell in love)
It made us it was only us
Convinced we were broken
inside, yeah
inside, yeah
Cause girl you are perfect,
You're always worth it,
And you deserve it,
the way you work it,
Cause girl you earned it, yeah,
Girl you earned it, yeah,
He lifted her, and slowly he slid her body down his. Very slowly, sensually. And when their faces were at the same level, he kissed her. Gently sucking her lower lip, he twirled his tongue inside her mouth, it awoke something inside her that she moaned. She couldn't control herself. He licked her upper lip and then sucked it. She snaked her arms around his neck, tightly. He let her body slide further down his. When her heels touched the ground, he held her face with both hands and kissed deeply.
Yeah, yeah,
Cause girl you are perfect
The way you work it
You deserve it
I can tell you
The kiss was different from all the ones from before. It was sensual and slow. It made her toe curl involuntarily. She whimpered and moaned shamefully. She couldn't understand her bodily reactions. She felt angry at herself. Hence, she pushed him away. Pulling back he gazed at her orbs, eyes hooded. He was feeling intoxicated. He can feel his blood pumping faster.
She couldn't handle his gaze, and told him while trying to remove his hands,
"Leave me"
pulling her back to his chest with a jerk, he hugged her tightly holding her and burying his face in her neck, inhaling her scent deeply. She was surprised. Holding his arms she asked,
"What are you doing?"
"Enjoying you"
he whispered in her ear lowly. She was dumbfounded for a second. Was he serious? What was he enjoying by hugging her was beyond her. But one thing she didn't like was being in his arms. So she started struggling in his hold. He brushed his lips on her ear saying,
"Don't"
she didn't listen of course and started pushing him. Sighing, he pulled back slightly and bent down. She blinked her eyes, seeing what he was doing. He lifted her bridal style in his arms. She yelped and held his neck. With widened eyes looking at him, she asked perplexed,
"Put me down! What are you doing?!"
smirking down at her, he told her arrogantly,
"Our date is not finished yet"
