After he noticed I came out, he shut his laptop down. I climbed into bed keeping my distance from him. We were both laying on our backs
"Question." I said. "What?" He asked with his
usual serious tone. "Why don't you sleep?"
questioned turning my head to him. "What do
you mean I slept today." He said looking at me "But when we're at home.....you don't sleep." I pointed out. "Spying on me now.....wow cute." He looked away. "Psht spying on you, please." I scoffed. A moment of silence came. "I don't sleep." He uttered. "Why not?" I asked slightly concerned about him. He glanced at me once more. "You don't need to stress about me sweetheart." He patted my head gently. "Let's sleep now." He whispered.
I pursed my lips as I looked at him with his eyes shut. I slightly sighed before taking off the lamp.
Just then he pulled me closer to him, hugging me tightly. I became tense for a moment, but soon softened as I became sleepier.
The next day was the gala. I straightened my
hair and put on light makeup. It was really
cold in London so I wore my fluffy white coat.
I exited the bathroom. I noticed him wearing a
black tuxedo.
Damn he looked so handsome. His rounded
biceps bulged through his jacket and his slim
waist fit so perfectly. His hair was parted off to
the side; his silver earrings hung so perfectly
and his tattoos were sadly covered.
Woah slow down Gaeun; control yourself. I didn't realize but he was staring at me. "Well?" I asked afraid I was looking awful, since usually I do.
He stepped closer to me, before whispering
"You look.....perfect...." I looked up at him
before giving a light smile but he didn't return
one. I expected it anyways
IAN POV
When she came out of the bathroom, she just
looked so amazing. More amazing than usual
She was pure perfection. I felt as if I couldn't
help myself anymore. I felt myself being drawn towards her by the minute. But this could never happen. I can't. I have to somehow control myself. But when it comes to her. I'm more possessive than usual. I didn't understand why.
GAEUN POV
I was a bit nervous for this gala. I've never
attended something so important. Especially,
something so fancy. I just wanted to do what
my parents asked me to do; Go to the gala, show your relationship publicly and represent the company. How hard could it be....right?
My thoughts were interrupted by a light touch
on my hand. "We're here..." Ian informed.
I nodded slightly before taking his hand and
exiting the car. We had to act all in love all over again, for this gala.
But it somehow didn't seem as much of a big task as it was before. I think we've somewhat become closer. He slipped my coat off once we got inside, and wrapped his hand around my waist gently.
After a a few hours, I met with many allies and friends and so did he. Everyone seemed to know him. Ian's father was one of the most
successful businessmen out there. Ian as well. They were very well known. And very
powerful in the business world. People either
tried to make alliances or stayed completely
away from him. I was tired of walking around
so we left to sit at the bar on the stools. I don't
drink alcohol so I just had a soda while he drank whiskey.
I just sat there taking in his visuals once more. Boy did I get lucky. "My parents chose such a hottie." I thought. "You think so?" He smirked. Did I say that out loud?! "What? I didn't say anything." I brushed off the topic. He scoffed a bit. As I was about to pick up my glass of soda he pushed it away and it broke on the ground
