Apart from the obvious issues, my time in London has been great. Adrian has been amazing and I love seeing him in his own environment. He is at home here and everything he is passionate about is on show. His business is booming right now and of course I have a whole set of other worries about his looming trip to Edinburgh. However, I have decided not to think of that situation until the time comes. Anyway, our relationship is really beginning to blossom into a full-blown, Cinderella romance. He showers me with gifts and romantic dinners at all the best restaurants in town. His generosity is magnificent and all his gifts are wonderful. However, what has me in a Cinderella moment is his affection. He is so passionate and caring. He considers all my feelings and he would never push my boundaries. He treats me like a princess and he is my real life prince charming. I smile as I remember my little sister’s reaction to Adrian. She was convinced that he was in fact a prince and she became flustered that no one but her could see it. However, I can see it and I totally agree with Penelope. It was as if Adrian rode up on a white horse and swept me from my feet. He brought out the loving side to me and he kept it for himself. I owe being able to love, to him, because before he came around I never thought that I would fall in love. I never dreamed about the perfect guy and what our life would be like. I was not like all the other girls who have been planning their weddings since they were five. Instead, I chose to step back from the dating scene and what surprised me was that love found me. I stumbled upon the most amazing guy ever by accident. I was annoyed with my life in New York so when my dad offered me a break I took it. I went to London my dream city and what I found was spectacular. I loved the city and I loved its culture I was ecstatic just to be there but what happened next went far beyond my wildest dreams. I went to a boring event, which I did not want to attend, and then that is when I saw him. He stood in front me in all his perfection and I my world shattered. I knew from the moment that I saw him that he was my reason for living. He woke the dormant side of me that was buried deep into my soul. Gravity no longer held me to the planet it was Adrian and I flew three thousand miles to find him.
“Baby,” Adrian beams as he gently bursts into my room. I smile as I watch him walk over to me. He is dressed very casually today in a black shirt and blue jeans. His hair is tousled and rather messy and I can tell that he has not shaved today. He approaches me and stops at my feet. He gently leans in and kisses me softly and I again melt at his touch.
“I am taking the whole day off work so that you and I can spend some time together.” I lunge forward and into his arms.
“Really?” I gasp. He laughs.
“Yes baby, but there is a slight snag,” I roll my eyes slightly.
“Do not roll your eyes at me,” Adrian says firmly.
“Okay so what’s the snag?” He reaches out and grabs onto my shoulders and he slowly begins to glide his hands along my skin.
“I am free all day but there is an event tonight and I have to be there. I know that they aren’t exactly your kind of thing but baby will you accompany me?” I sigh and then I let out a giggle.
“You do not even have to ask, I am there.” Adrian again kisses me and then he instructs me that he is ready to go. I rush over to my closet and throw on a sweater. I grab my dark blue cashmere coat and then I make my way into the lounge. Adrian slips on a black, country style, wax jacket and he pushes his hair from his forehead. I stare and he notices.
“Baby what’s wrong?” He says, as he cannot hold back his boyish smirk.
“Nothing you just look really good in that jacket, which designer is it?” I say, as I cannot contain my smile and my curiosity. He again smirks as he shakes his head.
“It is a Barbour,” he says smoothly. He marches over to me and he links me into his arm. We stride down to the car and I quickly step inside. Adrian jumps in and starts the car. He smiles at me as he begins to drive.
“So, where we going?” I ask as the car stops at a red light. Adrian turns to me.
“It is a surprise,”
“Please don’t tell me we are going shopping again,” I say rather firmly. Adrian laughs at me as he takes my hand.
“I thought you liked to shop?”
“Well I do like to shop but I have literally been to every store in London and a girl can get bored.” He again laughs at me I feel a little annoyed by his amusement.
“Well don’t worry we are not going shopping. I am taking you somewhere more - sentimental.” I smile at him and then we sit in silence.
“Music,” Adrian says as he switches on the radio. I smile as I hear the song that is playing.
