Novel Full Chapter 97 - Mine
Deans few strides to the bedroom meant he had quickly caught up with April. He opened the door and to his surprise, April was stood in the centre of the bedroom waiting for him, he smiled at her, she always surprised him with her actions.
"I thought you were running away." Dean walked towards April and pushed a few fallen curls behind her ear as she smiled back at him. She was biting her lip so Dean rubbed his thumb over her lip to remove it from her teeth he then smirked, "Allow me." Dean then leaned over and nibbled on her bottom lip.
Hearing her slight moan, he grabbed a handful of her silky hair, tilting her head back, he revealed her neck so that his mouth could claim it, "Mine." He growled.
April heard him and giggled as she lightly pushed away his muscular chest, "As if anyone could doubt that, now get off me so I can get ready for our date."
Dean smiled and thought about how he had all night to continue where he left off. He then left a few more butterfly kisses on her chest before he gazed into her eyes longingly, tonight he thought. "True and I have an amazing date planned so get ready." Dean smacked her ass and let go of her.
"What should I wear?" Asked April.
"Anything, everything looks good on you," Dean replied before turning to go to his condo to change.
April then walked to her walk in closet as he wasn't being helpful and so she picked out an outfit. She decided on casual but still date appropriate so she took out her black skinny jeans and a band t-shirt. She dressed quickly and fixed her hair and put on some light makeup. Before long she was ready and she heard Dean walking back into the condo. Although he lived with her and they were soon to join the two condominiums together a lot of his clothing was still at his condo. It seemed he had more clothes than she did, it was impressive.
Dean walked towards the wardrobe and saw the heels in April's hands, "Beautiful as usual but heels aren't necessary."
Dean was wearing black jeans and a white buttoned shirt with black boots. He always had a simple yet classic style.
"Neither is the expensive watch you are wearing, seeing as you check your phone for the time but here we both are. Also, I want to wear my Louboutin's."
"I don't get it but if you want to wear them and get tired it just gives me an excuse to carry you."
"Now that's not necessary." April refused outright, it completed her casual but sexy date vibe that she was going for. If she wore her converse she would be a lot shorter than Dean but in her heels, it would be easier for her to kiss him if she wanted to.
Dean smiled and watched her put on her heels, "No but it is my duty as your partner and I enjoy it so when you are tired let me know and ill personally carry you home and straight to our bed."
April rolled her eyes, "Dork, I will be fine."
April walked towards him and grabbed his hand. Together they went straight into the lift and down to the underground car park. Dean's car was parked right beside hers and he steered her towards her car, she didn't mind who drove and it seemed like Dean was the pampering type of boyfriend.
"So where are you taking me?" April asked as she watched Dean buckle her in, did he have to be so close and handsome she thought.
"It's a surprise. "Dean then winked at her and started the car engine.
It didn't take them long to arrive outside of a large white building. April of course recognised the building, she had visited it many times in her past life. It was an open art gallery and every month a new artists work would be featured, people could wander around and look at the art and even purchase a painting or sculpture should they like it. It was a dream of hers and her mother's to be featured in this gallery amongst their favourite local and celebrity artists. April wondered whose artwork was being featured this month.
April was about to get out of the car when Dean held her hand and spoke, "Wait."
Dean then got out of the car and walked around to her side and opened her door, she wasn't sure if she would get used to his chivalry.
"Ready beautiful?" Dean asked as he held out his hand towards April.
April took Deans hand and got out of the car, he closed the door behind her and they walked towards the entrance.
"Have you been here before?" Dean asked as she didn't seem to question where they were.
"Yes in another life, do you know which artist is featured this month?" April wasn't sure what answer she should give but the truth came out first before she could think about her answer.
Dean stopped walking and glanced at her, "Another life?" He asked.
"Yes well… maybe I mean I believe in past lives. What about you?" April asked as she fiddled with her hair unsure if she sounded crazy and that's why Dean had stopped.
Dean wanted to say in another life he wished he had saved her from every heartbreak but now wasn't the time. Instead, he smiled down at her and kissed her forehead before continuing to walk inside the gallery.
In this lifetime he didn't have to search for his light, he had found it in her. He couldn't go back now, he couldn't imagine a life without her in it anymore. As the light, she brought to him each day is the colour of sunshine inside the rain and when he sees it inside her all he wanted was to embrace her and protect her so it could never be tainted or fade.
