Chapter 195: Captured with His Eyes, Stored in His Heart

"You’re too handsome, Fred. Looking at you... I don’t think anyone would ever take your place in my heart," she said and placed a smooch on his lips.

"Look what a vain person I fell in love with! She only likes my face," he said with a chuckle and his hand grabbed her tush and gave a tight smack. He always wanted to do that. She has a nice a*s.

Talia buried her head in his neck and giggled. She was so embarrassed and she didn’t want to show him her face. This guy is getting so... brazen.

" I’m not vain... I don’t value appearances that much!" she said in a complaining voice.

"Oh, really? Then what else do you like about me?" he asked and sat at the edge of the bed and Talia straddled on his lap.

"I love your p*nis too..." hugging him closely, she whispered in his ears. " It looks weird... But hey, it does the job well. So it’s appearance doesn’t matter, right? See... I’m not vain!" she grinned looking him in the eyes.

"This little..." he held the back of her head and kissed her. This one has gotten so shameless these days...and too bold.

But as he kissed her, he felt himself getting immersed in the pool of of her mesmerising scent losing his sanity. Right out of shower, she smelt so fresh and fragrant, he couldn’t stop himself.

"Aww... That hurts..."

Arthur only stopped his fingers that went South of her abdomen, when her feeble voice stopped him. He looked at her with the bathrobe open and the butterfly pendant he gave her, contrasted her pale skin as it rested over her collarbone. Her eyebrows were furrowed a bit and he kissed her forehead and still lying on top of her propping himself on his elbows, started looking at the ointments that were in the bag Sir Robert gave.

"Let me..." he hissed and without expecting her reply went down.

"Fred!" Talia’s first reaction was to close her legs with her knees together and she felt his big,warm hands on her knees and she stopped struggling seeing his focused eyes. His eyes were filled with pleading and care. There was a slight teasing emotion mixed in there too. But Talia relented.

"You are not allowed to say a single word. Keep your thoughts to yourself," she said in a strict way and placing her forearm over her eyes,closed them. She felt safe closing her eyes. She was scared after everything she said about his private part, he’d say something bad about hers too.

Yeah, she was being a hypocrite, but still... She didn’t have the courage.

She felt his fingers gently applying the ointment and she did feel relieved by how careful he was. She still didn’t want to look at his face in case he’s making some silly or weirded out expression.

"You are attractive everywhere, my love!"

Talia jerked hearing Arthur’s voice near her ear and opened her eyes to see him with a very serious and honest expression.

Seeing her bewildered expression, he continued, "I’m not lying. Look here..." he pointed at the bulge in his pants making Talia go all red once more.

"You’re... You’re a... You get turned on by anything, you dummy! You only think about s*x... " she closed her face with her hands.

Arthur couldn’t help but laugh. What else should a man think when he is looking at his woman’s vag**a?

"You didn’t take any pictures or anything, did you?" Talia asked still not having the guts to open her eyes.

"What? Look at my eyes and say it again!" Arthur’s smile vanished and he felt offended.

Who does she think I am? Why would I do that?

Talia felt the anger in his tone and realised he misunderstood and she sat up immediately looking at him in the eyes.

She knew he won’t take naked pictures of her no matter what. There is that line he would never cross, ever. She knew it as certain as she knew that the sun rises in the East and sets in the West.

"This...I’m not doubting you or accusing you. You took that picture on our hands with the eternity ring.... without my knowledge and I loved that picture and last night... It was a pretty important day and I wondered if you took a picture for remembrance or anything. I wanted it if... I know you wouldn’t have taken my picture in a compromising way and you wouldn’t mishandled it... " she paused looking at his anger subsiding and his frown was replaced with a gentle smile.

" I did, " he smiled and trailed the back of his hand over her cheek," I did capture your image with my eyes and stored them in my heart," he placed his hand on his chest. "They’d be there forever; never forgotten and fresh."

He really didn’t take pictures. Back then he took that picture because he felt like, he wouldn’t get a future with her and wanted to capture that moment to assure himself that it really happened.

But now, she really is in his arms and she loves him as much as he loves her; probably more. This might be the first time, but it definitely won’t be the last and so he didn’t feel the need.

Talia felt her heart skip a beat listening to him. "You have such a cheesy tongue," she kissed him deeply.

"Get ready and meet me for breakfast in the rooftop restaurant in an hour," Arthur said placing a small kiss on her forehead.

"Why there? We can order room service," Talia asked and Arthur explained about the paps.

Talia nodded. Sure it would be a good alibi that they didn’t sleep together last night. Any rational person would think that they would have ordered room service if they stayed together the last night. So this breakfast in the restaurant would be good for her.

"Aren’t you getting ready?" Talia asked feeling the stare on her back as she removed the bathrobe.

"I will..." Arthur lied on the bed to his side and watched her change.

Talia just shook her head with a smile seeing that guy grinning ear to ear, watching her change. He even started singing.

Talia was impressed seeing her makeup set in the bag Mr. Ed brought with her clothes. As she sat to apply he makeup , Arthur started to get ready and he left the room even before she finished applying her makeup.

When she went to meet Arthur at tee restaurant, he was already waiting for her for more than half an hour and he was even pretending to be anxious looking at his watch.

The moment Talia entered she realised the paparazzi were already there and she remembered the last time, she left abruptly from the press conference and also the pictures released from the state dinner the previous night made it seem like Arthur and she were in a not so good place.

Throughout the breakfast, Talia gave an aloof expression while Arthur hand a soft expression. Talia didn’t know why he seemed so gentle with her and only after some thoughts did she realise something.

He did say I won’t be blamed anymore!

Her expression softened unconsciously and she bowed her head trying to control her emotions.

He wants others to think that he is the one chasing her and it is not the case where a woman split up an engaged couple, but the man went after another woman; the woman he loved all along.

In a way that’s what she wanted, but realising that Arthur came to that decision himself without she never talking to him about it... She felt touched.

She hardened her face and maintained her aloof expression for the paps to take picture of.

Arthur passed her a document which practically had plain sheets of paper and only one paper had something handwritten and Talia closed the document to read it later. Arthur told her that she’d be soon called to Esteria for voting in the board meetings.

Talia was surprised by the information that she has two votes. Her Grandpa really plans for everything!

She left with a haughty smile and she could hear the cameras go off and waked out of the restaurant.
