On The Border - Marry Him Or Die

55

Alex’s POV

“Admit it, you feel so much lighter now, don’t you?” said Jenny with a slight smirk.

I play with my now very short beard as we sit at a small restaurant waiting for our food to arrive.

Jenny took me across the street into a barber shop, and I had no idea what she was intending to do to me.

A lot of things played through my mind to guess where this will get me into, from letting the barber shave off all my hair and make me bold, to coloring it some funky weird color. I’ve considered the worst case scenarios of a possible punishment, and as dreadfully as it was to submit to something like what was going through my mind, I was going to do it….. For her.

Turned out, she asked the barber to give me a much shorter beard than my long one.

Honestly, I felt relieved for that punishment, or I might consider it more of a gift that she wasn’t aware she was giving me, as it was the last reminder of my finished relationship with Melanie.

I had kept it like this because she had a thing for long beards and found them sexy.

Apparently Jenny felt the exact opposite.

After we left the barber shop, we walked around the city, went into some shops out of curiosity but didn’t buy anything, then ended up at the restaurant.

It was a very nice day, especially now that we are together and sharing the same feelings. We were starting something so special and I couldn’t help but cherish every single moment we spend together, alone.

I got to hold her hand all through our walking and I have never felt more complete than when I was touching her.

“I do, it feels better believe it or not. I missed having a short beard actually” I said softly.

“However, when you took me inside that shop, I have to admit, I didn’t think it was just for a beard trim” I said honestly.

She smiled innocently “What did you think I was about to do?”

“I think I’ll keep those ideas to myself so you don’t try them on me if I ever earn myself another punishment” I said teasingly.

“Fine, don’t tell me, I’ll come up with better things next time” she said evilly.

“If there was ever a next time” I supplied amusingly.

Her cute dimples deepened and she said in a flirting tone “I don’t think you can help it when it comes to me. I bring out another side of you Alex and that side will always get you in trouble”

Damn she was right. She always keeps me on my toes and keeps me wanting more from her.

She brings out the stubborn side of me that will stop at nothing to get what it wants and achieve it.

“I’d welcome anything that comes from you. The pleasure and the pain” I said sincerely.

Her face softens and she says emotionally “I don’t want there to ever be pain, for both of us. Promise me Alex. Promise you’ll be really careful and not let anyone take you from me”

I reached over and held her hands. I brought them to my lips and kissed them both tenderly.

“I promise” I said genuinely.

We ate our food and went on walking again through the city.

We found a mall and went inside to have a look.

An idea popped into my head then, but I wanted to surprise her with it.

I took my chance when she excused herself to go the ladies room and I went to one of the shops I noticed earlier and bought somethings for Jenny.

I then went into another shop and bought myself somethings too.

I made a phone call to the hotel we were staying in and arranged a surprise for tonight.

The whole thing took no longer than thirty minutes to get done. Twenty minutes of them, I was giving Jenny wrong directions to meet with me in the wrong place over the phone.

When we finally met again, and she noticed the shopping bags in my hand, she gave me a curious puzzled look.

“You went shopping without me?” she asked with a little pout.

“I wanted to surprise you” I said lovingly.

“Can I see?” she asked excitedly.

“No, not until this evening at dinner. I can’t wait to have you try them on, you will look so beautiful in them, I’m positive” I said softly.

“You’re really teasing me, you know” she whined cutely.

“Yeah, I know. Just a little bit” I chuckled.

We return to the hotel to rest for a while.

Jenny watches something on her phone while I call home to check on things.

Nothing new or suspicious happened, according to Lucas.

All was well in Snow, for now.

I finish the phone call and go over to Jenny, who was leaning against the headboard of the bed, with her wired headphones in her ear.

I remove her left arm, lean against her side, hug her, and drape her arm back around me.

I take her left head phone and put it inside my own ear.

Her hand goes into my hair, and she starts playing with it gently.

I found the gesture so damn comforting and soothing.

We start watching her show together.

The episode ended after three minutes, and she played the next one right after it.

During the repetition of previous events, I use the opportunity and ask her curiously.

“What language is this?”

“It’s Turkish” she answered in a low voice.

“What interested you in it?”

“They have different stories than us. Not to mention they have interesting traditions and habits that are very unique and appealing. Their language is also special” she said passionately.

“You’re special” I whispered.

“What?” she asked distractedly as she returned her focus on the new episode.

“What are the odds I understand what this show is about?”

She chuckles and says “Well, it’s the second season and each episode is two hours long, I’d say the odds are not in your favor”

I wasn’t interested in the show as much as I was interested in the warm feeling she was causing me to feel as I rested my head on her side upper chest, relaxed at her hand constantly playing with my hair, and felt her heart beating next to my ear.

We sat like this until the episode ended.

Two whole hours and I didn’t mind watching another episode if it meant staying this close and intimate.

However, it was time for my surprise and we needed to get ready for it.

I finally gave Jenny her bag and told her that I will be waiting for her in the living room.

I got ready as well by putting on the all black suit I bought for myself, and formal black shoes.

I was rubbing my palms nervously, waiting for Jenny to appear in her dress and wedge sandals.

I totally guessed the sizes of her dress and sandals and I was afraid they were too big or too small on her.

I could have asked her about her sizes over the phone, but I didn’t want to give her any hints.

Finally, she emerged out of the room and I swear, as soon as my eyes laid on her all dressed up, my heart started pulsing faster and my breath hitched.

Breath taking wasn’t even an adequate word to describe her beauty.

Dazzling was too shallow a word to explain how much the sight of her took my breath away.

A fiery angel, yes that could work, a fiery angel was staring at me and I was too enchanted in her exquisiteness that I couldn’t form any words for a few seconds.

My eyes roamed over her from head to toe, admiring every single detail about her.

Her red hair was left down barely touching the tips of her shoulders in their natural silky waves, the strapless, lace, dark purple dress hugged every curve around her gorgeous body until it reached her waist, then it flowed around her to her knees in a slight puff, and the black wedge, ankle strap, sandals made her stand taller and made her legs look more sexy.

Even the black framed glasses she was wearing and the lack of any make up on her face made her so naturally alluring and truly angelic.

“Wow, you look so handsome Alex Snow. Never thought I would see you in anything other than Jeans and sneakers. I have to say, this look suits you better” she said admiringly.

I smiled at the fact that she was openly flirting with me instead of the other way around.

I liked that she was slowly letting loose and opening up to me more everyday.

I walked over to her, circled my arms around her skinny waist and brought her closer to my body.

I brushed my lips with hers and whispered seductively “You look so damn hot Jenny, that words can’t even begin to cover your beauty in my eyes. I’m practically restraining myself from worshiping you all night long and to hell with our romantic date”

Her beauty is finally complete with her natural blushing filling her cheeks. She brings her hands around my neck, circling me too.

“A date? That’s the surprise?” she asked excitedly.

“Yes, our very first date” I said quietly, still keeping my lips softly brushing hers.

“So what do you say? Screw the date and let us screw each other senseless instead?” I suggested playfully.

She giggled and may god help me, my dick just got more harder at that sweet sound.

“No, I want a date first. After that, we can…. Hmmm do whatever you want” she said shyly.

“Screw each other senseless” I emphasized with a low growl trying to keep myself; or my dick, under control.

It caused another giggle to escape her very kissable lips.

“Okay, we have a deal Mr. Snow, let’s kiss on it” she said before she kissed my lips with so much longing and fondness.

This is going to be the hardest date to get through if she keeps teasing me like this.

But damn it she’s worth having my dick stay hard for her for hours.

She’s worth it and I’m the luckiest person on this earth to deserve a fiery hot angle like her.
