NORA I opened my eyes. The room was looking different. I sat up quickly. This isn't my room. I studied the room for a while and realized it was Lucian's room. Everything came flooding back. I sighed. I still can't believe Lucian allowed me to sleep in his room. Not just that, he let me put my head on his chest. I chuckled. The door opened and he walked in with a tray. I wanted to leave the bed but when he spoke up, I sat down"You're awake?" He asked and I nodded. "I brought you breakfast". He dropped the tray on the table. I batted my lashes. Isn't he going to tell me to leave his room or maybe his bed? "Nora?" He called, jolting me out of my thought. I rolled my eyes. "Are you ok?" "Yeah... Yeah" I stuttered slightly "Are you sure?. You seem lost in thought?". I groaned. What will I tell him now? I noticed he was dressed in blue jeans and a white shirt. I decided to ask him a question rather than answer his. "Are you going out?" He rolled his eyes and nodded. "I need to see some clients. I will be back soon". I rolled my eyes but nodded anyway. "You said you're ok?". I nodded. He sighed and turned to leave but stopped. "Is there anything you need before I leave?" I rolled my eyes. Why is he been extremely nice? "No, thanks" He nodded. "Goodbye then" I watched him leave and then sighed. I stood up from the bed and went back to my room to brush my teeth and then came back to his room to eat my breakfast. When I was done eating, I laid his bed and went to the kitchen to clean it up. I also cleaned the living and dining room. I went into my room to arrange it. I felt it would be nice to help him clean his room since he let me sleep there last night. I spent time arranging his room, though I made sure I kept everything back in place. I went back to my room to take my bath. ** I was watching my favorite soap opera. It was a love movie and I love it. Though I'm not a fan of love movies because I don't believe that such love exists, I seem to enjoy every bit of this one. I sometimes spend most of my free time, either daydreaming about Lucian or thinking about how to get the truth out of him. Taking of the truth, It's just a few days to the end of our one month together. I'm beginning to have this feeling that I won't succeed. "How will you succeed here? There is nothing here that reminds him of her" my subconscious mind said. I groaned. I should have thought about that all this while. I hissed. His main reason for not wanting to come to Paris wasn't because he had a secret with her here. It's before he might have promised to bring her here. I groaned. I should have chosen his house as the venue. That would be the perfect place to get my answer. I don't think he will ever want to tell me. I sighed. I lost!!. "I don't think you do, yet," my subconscious mind said and I rolled my eyes. "What if there is something that can give you a clue?". I rolled my eyes. There is nothing... "In his room". I batted my lashes. That day I slept in his room and then helped him arrange his room, I would have used that as an opportunity to check through his stuff for any clue. "It's never too late, Nora. You can still get answers if you want to". I jumped up from the couch and headed for his room ** After an hour of fruitless search, I was beginning to lose hope. Why did I believe my subconscious mind? There is nothing to get here. He doesn't even live here. I sighed and finally stood up to leave. My eyes got sight of a shining object in one of his shirt's breast pockets. I rolled my eyes. I did not notice this in the first place. I dipped my hand into it and brought it out. It was a neck chain with a diamond pendant. I looked at it closely. It has a royal symbol on it and Mira Maria Yael was inscribed on it. It looks new, so I knew he was going to give Mira, maybe as a birthday gift. I heard him talking to Kelvin about Mira's birthday but what I don't understand is the royal sign on it. "He can't belong to a royal family? Right?" I thought. He doesn't act like one. He doesn't even look like one. I decided to shrug off the feeling and leave the room before he comes back. There isn't any truth to be found, here. ** Lucian suddenly agreed to let us go out together during the day. It's just three days to the end of the month and we will return to our various locations. I was so surprised when he told me he wanted us to go out. It's been a while since we spent time together. He's been busy with photoshoots and concerts. I went into my bathroom to take my bath and get ready. I spent less time, getting ready before he changes his mind. I was dressed in a blue cropped top and black ripped-off jeans. I wore my black bondage boots. I packed my already blue-dyed hair into a messy bun and headed downstairs. When I got downstairs, he was dressed and waiting for me. He was dressed in black pants and a white shirt. He stared at me and without saying anything, headed outside. I rolled my eyes and followed. I still dont know why he wants us to go out!! ** The car stopped at an Italian restaurant and we stepped down. The media were waiting for us and I wondered why. I wanted to ask him if he called them but I changed my mind. As we walked past them, I felt so nervous. I'm a journalist so I know what risk it is to get your face shown beside that of a celebrity. I tried to hide my face but he stopped me. "You don't have to" I sighed. Why does he want my face shown in public with him? I sighed in relief when we finally entered and sat down. He brought out his phone and after pressing for a while, raised his head. "You're not eating?" I rolled my eyes. Is he being serious right now? I relaxed on the chair. "Can you tell me why you brought me, here?" He chuckled but suddenly stopped. "You think I brought you here for a reason?". I nodded. "Of course, I do. But eat up, I will tell you at the right time". I sighed. "Eat and smile. The media are watching". Although I have no appetite, I had to pretend to eat and smile. ** The table was cleared and I sighed. All through the meal, he kept touching my face and wiping off imaginary dirt. I rolled my eyes. "Can I get my answer, now?" I asked. I was getting more curious and impatient He stared at me and sighed. "I..." "Sir, your delivery is here," someone said. He was holding a package that he handed over to Lucian. He muttered a thank you. After the delivery man left. He faced me. "I don't want you to freak out, about what I'm about to do. Just play along and say yes. I will explain in detail when we get back" he said and went down on his knees. I batted my lashes. Don't tell me he wants to propose. "Marry me," he said and I suddenly felt like the ground will open up and take me in!!.
