It was Saturday morning Annabelle couldn't help but feel nervous as he would be at the door anytime now, now she understood why he always took her breath away, it was confirmed he was a mate staying away from him would be impossible and she wasn't ready to accept anyone anymore but she would figure out what to do to not let anyone know she had built walls around her feining toughness hiding her vulnerability inside
While she was lost in thought the doorbell rang taking a deep breath she relaxed and open the door
"Hi," he said
"Hi" she replied
"Can I come in?" he asked
"sure" she replied keeping a straight face "shall we," she asked gesturing her hand towards a table with books on it
he sat as she began to lecture him Edwin knew was necessary since he could be staying here for a while if he was to hide, but his purpose right now is to find out the reason why she hated him so much and learn a few things
"you know I can't get it why do you hate me so much he asked after a while" sighed
"Can we just focus"
"I can't at least not until you tell me," he said putting his legs on the table
"whoa!!" he gasp seeing a painting of the Sky with Stars did you guys just magic the sky on paper or what"
"No I painted it," she said as soon as she said that it was as if he had turned into a statue turning slowly are
"you kidding,? ," he asked with widening eyes no she replied trying to hide her emotion
"This is like the sky is grabbed onto paper, unbelievable and it's got the Peruvian map on it"
"Peru... what "
"Oh it's a Grivinian fairytale about a map some two lovers created to locate each other "he explained
"Well, I guess your library doesn't have everything hahaha "
he laughed revealing his dimples Annabelle Can't Help but blush a little this made her lips twitch a little" seriously though it's amazing you got more of these?" he asked his eyes gleaming with interest
Seeing this deep down she couldn't wait to show him the basement but still keeping on her guard she folded her arms on her chest and said
"sure why not?"
Edwin was beaming she said that he couldn't believe it she was an artist and an amazing one at that, he couldn't believe it, she agreed to show him her Works, following her to the basement he gasped again, again and again at how beautiful the place was, filled with works of art of different colors textures and feelings glancing at her again he saw her not only as the angel she was but a goddess he had never seen before, one that could express feelings through images, that at every moment he felt the urge to hug her as he was overwhelmed with emotions" you made this? "he asked getting closer to her he pulled his hair as if surprised to the core he had a habit of pulling his heir back she blushed a little every time he did that
"yeah," she said casually you mean all this he asked with a ragged breath closer than he was before
Out of impulse, he touched her soft cheeks rendering her stiff as a statue as his thumb glided through her cheeks before he gathered her hair behind her ears
"you don't know how long I've been waiting to do that "he muttered Annabelle was rendered speechless by his action she had seen him coming closer and closer as her heartbeat accelerated not knowing what to do she felt like holding him closer but stopped herself she couldn't stop him neither could she make him continue, they both gazed at each other for a while before they both snapped out of their reverie pretending to look around he saw a painting that caught his attention she gasped seeing what he was looking at
