Chapter 39 It's okay when he flirted with me, now he kissed my neck too?

VICTORIA'S POV

If someone would've asked me to get ready and try on different dresses for the prom to see which dress suited me the best, I would've laughed in their face, if it was the same as before.

I was such a lazy bum, and with my powers in the picture, shopping for the dress wasn't something in my 'to-do list' for the day, and that's why when girls asked me to go shopping with them, I denied with a simple no, before ending the call.

You guys might've already guessed by now. Today was the so-called prom today.

And currently, I was sprawled on my bed with all kinds of snacks I could find in my house, as I have a very important task to do today, that is, to look out for the best way to propose Alexander.

Thinking about Alexander, the way he hugged me yesterday, was still making me feel warm inside my heart.

Closing my eyes, while laying down flat on my stomach, I thought about him. How nice would it feel to be in his arms? The thought made me feel really happy, as I smiled at my imagination.

Getting back to what I was doing, as I surfed the web, with only two hours remaining in my hand before he would be here to take me out, I typed the message on the question forum while describing my condition.

It wasn't long before multiple replies started to pile up my Inbox.

I scanned through all of them, and let me say people indeed have interesting ways to propose.

Huh! This won't help, I'll have to think about something.

"That's okay. You have all the time in the world. Why don't you shower first? I bet he will run miles away if you propose with your current stinky self." Carla commented as she played on the couch leisurely.

"You are right," I said once I smelled my clothes, which were stinking for real.

Rushing towards my bathroom, I decided to go with a relaxing bath. After quite some time, I opened my eyes and checked my clock which stated that I've been lying in this bath for more than 40 minutes.

Yup, I have a clock in my bathroom. And my careless sleeping in the bathtub, or enjoying the shower too much is the reason why I have placed one there. It helps me keep track of time.

After drying myself and applying some lotion to my body, I finally draped the towel around my body and went near the mirror.

'Let's go with dress trial now.' I announced in my head, before I turned on my powers, to activate the dress changing mode.

Okay, I am bluffing. There is no dress-changing mode in my body. Waving my hands in the air, as the dress keeps changing itself, my eyes beamed when I saw the perfect red dress.

It had a small cut in the neckline, and then near the stomach.

The back fabric was flaring loose and was giving a perfect view of my upper half back.

The sleeves of the dress were long, and the skirt had a wavy slit in between which exposed my legs below knees.

Finalizing the dress, I styled my hairs in a retro high bun, with my bangs loose in the front and some curls along the back.

I was not a big fan of makeup. One reason for that was because I don't know how to do it. After applying mascara, eyeliner, blush, and lip gloss my look was almost complete.

Wearing the matching red long earrings, and a silver bangle, I chose a pair of silver high heels to complete my look.

I checked one last time in the mirror and I would agree that I looked pretty and sexy at the same time.

Checking the time on the phone, I picked up my phone and the matching clutch to go with the dress, before descending downstairs, as it was almost time.

I looked towards my kitchen and saw a window open. Closing the window, I was about to pour myself a glass of water when I heard the bell going off.

Not wanting for Alexander to wait for long, I rushed to open the door.

However, as soon as I opened the door, I regretted doing it. I shouldn't have rushed to open the door.

I should've prepped to talk myself about it, about what I was going to see today and what I was getting myself into because my heart was beating so fast when I saw Alexander dressed in a black three-piece Armani suit.

"Hey!" He said as soon as he saw me, and gave me a bouquet of red roses.

"Hey," I said breathlessly, as I looked towards the flowers, smelling them, before inviting him in.

How romantic! He is doing soo much when he is just my friend. What would it feel like to have him as my boyfriend, like my husband?

'Stupid heart, can you beat a bit slower? I don't want to get a heart attack before I propose him.' I reprimanded my heart as I placed my hand over there.

Going back inside the kitchen I hurriedly placed the flowers inside a vase before pouring myself a glass of water to wet my drying throat.

"You know, if I knew you were looking this beautiful, I would've come way earlier, to enjoy your beauty more." Alexander suddenly commented from behind me, which made me cough as I choked on the water, I was drinking, when I felt his body touching mine from behind.

Patting my back slightly, he helped me towards the living room, as my coughing died down.

It was only after I was done with my coughing fit, did I notice that his hand was still on my back, and with my dress being half backless, I felt his strong palms directly on my skin, and couldn't help but think, how nice it would feel like to have his hands all over my body, over my back, on my arms, on my legs, on my-

"You there?" Alexander said as he waved his hands in front of me.

Realising, in which direction my thoughts were leading me, my face immediately started to burn as I looked at him with an awkward expression.

"Y-yeah. You were saying?" I said after coughing awkwardly to control my thoughts.

'What would Alexander think, if he comes to know what goes inside my head all the time, towards him? Will he think I am some kind of pervert?' I suddenly thought as I waited for him to continue.

"I was asking if you were ready to go, though, I won't mind if you have other plans for the night." He said as he leaned towards me.

'Being with Alexander at home, on the same couch, sitting so close, and did I mention alone, was not at all a good idea for my heart.' I thought as my heart started to beat faster again.

"What plans would I have? Let's go. Our friends must be waiting for us." I hurriedly said to create some distance between us, as I stood.

But, have any of you guys gone through that awkward moment, when you want to get out of an embarrassing situation but something happens at the same time, making you feel more embarrassed?

Well that's exactly what happened when my heels thought, it was the perfect time to get stuck with the carpet, which resulted in me stumbling and I fell back in my seat.

And no, I didn't fall on the couch, I fell straight in Alexander's arms.

Opening my eyes, I looked at Alexander's laughing eyes and his face which was so close to mine, as I wanted to trace those luscious lips with my tongue.

'I know we are perverted and want to love our mate, but, I don't think this is the right time for that. Wait till your proposal, no?' Carla said, which reminded me, I was still sitting on Alexander's lap.

Laughing awkwardly at my stupidity, I stood again, making sure that I don't stumble this time.

"Let's go. I don't want our friends to wait for long. Especially Daniel who wants to talk to me about something." I said.

Before I could even step out of my house, I felt Alexander pulling me towards himself, before my back hit the door.

"What-" I started but stopped when he leaned on my body to breathe in my neck.

"Don't talk to him. I don't like it." He said.

His words were slightly surprising, but what happened next took over all the surprise moments I have felt with him.

He kissed the junction between my neck and shoulder, before licking my collar bone.

"Wha-what are you doing?" I asked petrified.

"You smell nice. Like rose and chocolates, with a hint of lavender perfume. I was checking if you taste good too." He said before straightening his body.

'What the hell am I to reply to that?' I thought in my head as I looked at his dark eyes.

"So, Ummm did you like it?" I asked awkwardly.

'Seriously, Victoria? That's what you came with? You seriously have a way of making things awkward, don't you?' Carla said as she smacked her forehead while shaking her head at me.

"I love it. Would you like me to taste some more?" He said before he inched closer towards me. It was not until he started laughing, did I realize he was joking with me.

"Go away! You pervert!" I shouted, which made him laugh even more than before.

"Come on, you know you love me." He said before exiting the house.

Oh boy, how much I wanted him to taste me!
