Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife

Chapter 409 Date

"I'll wait down here. We definitely won't be going anywhere if I follow you up those stairs." His eyes roved over her sexy-as-sin body. "Now go."

Amy couldn't say much in the way of protests when she had felt the heat of his gaze all over her, from head to toe.

She perused through her articles of clothing and finally settled on a sunflower maxi dress and a sandals; it was one of the simplest dresses she owned.

She didn't want to go all out for her first day on a date with her new boyfriend. Amy could not believe herself that she was really dating Edward Wu.

She had really said yes to being his girlfriend. She fluffed her hair and applied lip balm with a little mascara. She splashed on some perfume.

Edward smiled up at her as she came downstairs and he got to his feet.

"You look good. Edible, " he added lowly.

Amy flushed. He led her to his car and once they were safely tucked in, they were off. Edward took too many turns for Amy to keep track of where they were headed.

"I suppose you're one of those guys who won't reveal the destination until you get there," Amy sighed.

Edward quickly threw a smirk before looking back unto the road..

"We're going to a lake."

Her brows shot up. "What lake?"

All Amy registered was the dangerous glint in his eyes that reminded her of the ruthless Mafia boss he was. Which was easy to forget when they were together.

He grinned. "You just have to wait and find out.

And find out she did. She stood in awe of its beauty. The lake wasn't large; the size of a large swimming pool.

"It's..."

"Beautiful, I know, " he finished for her.

"I was going to say grand but yes beautiful. "

"Well, I'm glad you like it. It's open to your use any time." Amy cocked her head in confusion

"It's on a private land so it's not open to the general public, " Edward explained.

"Oh." Amy did not like to think about just how wealthy he was.

There was a blanket spread out at shore and a basket on it.

"Hmm, hopeful much," she teased.

"Anything can be arranged with you at whatever time no matter what, because you're the boss.". There was a hint of pride in the way he said the statement

Amy nodded.

"Now let's enjoy."

They settled nicely together on the blanket. Amy leaned back on her hands and observed the scenery while Edward observed her. He thought she was a beautiful specimen and was hardly detestable.

"Who did you call to set up all these?" Amy asked conversationally.

"Someone. She always brings my ideas to life."

"Explain to me how this land is privately own."

" The story is not very straightforward, " he pointed out. "i don't know where to start from."

"How about the begin?" she suggested.

Edward gave a deep sigh.

"My grandfather gambled a lot. There was this one bet he made and he hit jackpot with it," he explained.

"Really?!' Amy was astonished at such luck.

Edward nodded. "Yeah. Crazy luck. And it's been in the family ever since."

"That's really nice," she commented.

"It is."

Silence passed between them.

"Why did you push me away?" Amy asked out of the blue.

The question took Edward by surprise and it caused him to take a pause. He pondered upon a few moments.

"Because you were there and you beginning to wreak havoc on my senses. I was afraid to let you in so I pushed you away.

You made me feel things I had no experience in, foreign feelings." He looked into her eyes. "You made me want it so bad – you make me want it, want you."

Amy forgot how to breathe for a moment. Edward had a way with words when he was in his feelings and recently he was in his feelings a lot.

She liked it though and she knew without a doubt that her heart was his to have and to hold for all of eternity.

She wondered if he felt the same magnitude of love she had come to have for him.

They enjoyed their picnic, laughing and talking about random stuff.

At some point they pulled off their footwear and stood on the shores of the lake where they shared a passion-filled kiss and Amy was on the verge of dropping the L-bomb. This was a place she was definitely going to come back to and get familiar with.

***

Each passing day brought Amy and Edward closer and closer. Edward knew that there was no other woman for him but the beauty he had come to love ans cherish.

On a Thursday morning, he sat at his desk and found himself thinking about Amy and how he would love to surprise her.

Before he could think twice about it, he picked up the telephone and ordered flowers and chocolates to be delivered to Amy.

This made him realize that it was his secretary that would have been instructed to place the order once and also that Amy was once his employee. He would love to have her back; she was quite the efficient staff.

He gave the address of delivery. He smiled when he thought about her reaction when she received the gifts.

Amy was surprised to see the bouquet of flowers that greeted her when she opened the door. She signed off on the delivery and took it in.

She saw that the flowers came with her favourite chocolate and she could not control the smile that made it's way unto her face.

An idea began forming in her mind; since it seemed to he the day of gifts, Amy decide that she would return the favour.

She was glad that she was less busy. She stowed away the chocolate in the refrigerator and put the flowers in vase containing water.
