When I stepped down the stairs, Rafael was setting the table.

And wad the cutest man on earth.

I felt butterflies as his gaze fell upon me.

I was wearing his t-shirt which was loose for me of course and a shoulder was exposed with my underwear.

"Ohh... sexy.." he licked his lips to which I just walked towards him and put both of my hands on his muscular and bare chest, looking directly in his eyes.

"You made all this for me."I said

He shook his head and replied, "Nah! I made this for the family of probably twelve people who lives next door ."

I let out a chuckle and said, "This is not funny."

"It is. It made you laugh." he replied kissing my lips.

We had a peaceful breakfast as it was weekday and the college was started.. speaking of it.. we skipped few classes.

Later me and Rafael went college and got to know that the teachers were in a meeting with the principal so all of us were in the cafe.

I met Jay, Emma and Rachel and they told me about a masquerade party which happens every year.

As Rafael' s father was a trustee of our college so he was kind of organizing the party.

"Hey baby." he came and stood next to me when I was talking to my friends.

"Hey, is your father organizing the masquerade party?" I asked.

"Oh yea. He is. And it's on Saturday. Why don't we go for shopping?" he asked me.

I agreed and on our way to the shop, I called aunt Lucy and informed her.

I didn't wanted her to be worried for me so I kept on informing her.

This was the first time I spend the night out.

When I used to go to the forest, I always returned in the middle of the night.

But ever since Rafael came in my life, I had not went to the forest which according to aunt Lucy was a perfect thing.

She wanted me to live a life like a normal girl.

Date boys, go to parties, enjoy my life.

And now I was actually really happy with Rafael.

Me and Rafael went to the dress store where he made me try almost twenty dresses and still wasn't sure.

"What do you think?" I came out of the changing room trying my twenty first dress hoping he would approve.

"Nah.. " as soon as the words were out of his mouth, me and the salesgirl sighed

"Okay.. Rafael let me try one for myself." I said to which he agreed and I walked further in with the sales girl.

My eyes got fixed on a black embroidered maxi dress with net neck and sleeves on it.

It was perfect.

"This one." I said, the salesgirl took it out for me and smiled, "Nice choice, Ma'am. Hope your boyfriend likes it too."

A ghost of smile touched my lips when she mentioned Rafael.

I went on the changing room and wore the dress carefully.

I saw myself in the mirror and the dress fitted me perfectly as if it was made for my body.

Taking a deep breath , I walked out of the room to him.

"Woah!" were the words released from his mouth as he saw me with his jaw dropped and eyes wide open.

He was no longer sitting but staring me slowly taking steps towards me.

I gave a confusing look to him and he parted his lips to speak, "You look... breath taking."

"Finally." I sighed in relief, at last he liked my chosen dress.

"We are buying this one." he said to the salesgirl.

After that we chose the tux for him and I did the same he did to me.

"God Lia! Just choose one." he gave a tiring look.

"Now you know." I raised a brow chilling on a couch.

"So you're doing this on purpose. Wait till we get home, wifey." He raised his brow then smirked at me.

Wifey? He just called me wifey. In a very cute way that it melted my heart.

He was my favorite human being.

I blinked my eyes twice and said, "I'm a bad girlfriend."

Approaching me, he replied, "I like the bad side of you. Specially in bed."

My heart wad pounding violently and i could see the lust suddenly rose up in his deep hazel eyes.

I quickly paid with the credit card he gave me while he changed his clothes.

Grabbing our shoppers we rushed out of the shop and got seated in the car.

Rafael drove like an insane person.

Neither him not me was able to control the heat anymore.

I wanted him right now.

And seeing the rising iron through his pants I knew he wanted me too.

We reached to his villa... and stepped out of the car.

He carried me in his arms both of my legs wrapped around his waist and his hands lifting me from my ass.

He didn't said a word during the whole way and now he attacked me with the kisses.

"So, your parents will be at the masquerade party too?" I said resting my head on his bare chest.

We both were laying on his bed after a tiring work and he tightened the grip on my shoulders.

"Yes. And you'll meet them as my girlfriend." he nodded staring the roof ceiling.

"Really?" I asked in astonishment.

"Yes,baby. Why not? I've met aunt Lucy too. So you'll meet my parents." he replied.

"What if they won't like me?" I asked confused

"Oh hush! You are my choice and even if they won't like you so what? You'll live here with me not with them." he was a straight forward man.

He never kept anything in his heart but spike his heart out.

"With you?" I asked

"Yes, of course. Hey why don't you move in with me?" he said then jumped up to sit on the bed while his elbow hit my head.

"Owe!" I scoffed

"Oh sorry. I'm a lil excited." he apologized.

I let out a chuckle to which he asked, "So are you willing to move in with with?"

Seeing me saying nothing, he thought he said something wrong.

"It's okay." he shook his head.

Soon the days passed and it was Saturday.

I was getting ready in my room while aunt Lucy was watching me with a wide smile on her face.

"I can't believe you're going on your first date." She said.

"It's not a date, aunt." I said rolling my eyes.

"Whatever it is. Rafael is your date for tonight." She replied.

"And for the rest of my life." I blushed

"You fancy him too." said aunt Lucy.

The ring of the door made us startled, I quickly put my red lipstick in while aunt opened the door.

When I walked in the living room, there stood my dream man looking ravishing in the black tux.

He was a complete gentleman.

"Beautiful." the words escaped his lips as he stood there.

"So, where's Rafael?" asked Rachel passing me the drink

"He's probably with his parents." I replied looking around.

The atmosphere of the masquerade party was elegant and many people covering their faces with masks; dancing, drinking and chatting.

As soon as I turned around to look for Rafael, I got bumped into a man.

I looked up to see his face covered with a mask but his eyes were deep and sparkles with a hint of blue in it.

"May I have this dance?" as soon as the words reached my ears, I was under his compulsion.

Without saying a word, I put my handbag his and walked at the dance floor with him.

The man had a mysterious appeal which seemed to drive me crazy.

Taking my hand in his, he swept me gracefully into dance.

We moved around the floor totally in sync.

Catching me as our arms pulled taut and spinning me out and away.

Then he reeled me back in unable to give me up.

I fell into him, his strong arms wrapping me tight protecting me before casting me out again.

He left my hand and I got bumped into another man.

"Rafael.." I exhaled deeply.
