Chapter 180: Red Asked Me First
"How are you sure it was you?" she wanted to tease Arthur for a while.
She didn’t think when they were in high school that they’d be allowed to be together by both of their families.
"Who else was it then?" Arthur asked. His emerald green eyes were mesmerising as it had a layer of mist that was glistening under those warm lights. It made his eyes seem like a mysterious evergreen forest covered with mist. Talia felt like she’d get lost in them if she ever got trapped in there.
But isn’t she already? Here she is... Not minding the reputation she’d get, if she danced with a man whom she was previously married with and the man who is currently engaged with someone else; slow dancing.
Ah! Screw it! Screw it all! Let me enjoy this little time I have with him. He doesn’t seem to mind either!
Both of them weren’t listening to the song in the background and the others around them. They were only focusing on each other as they just moved around, just for the sake of it.
Both of them knew... That this would be the last time they’d be together for a while. Arthur’s returning to Esteria early morning and Talia after staying for a couple of days here, will leave for Rosandale. Once she goes there, it would be hard for Arthur to visit her easily like this.
"Cyrus..." she said and paused deliberately. She watched his face, that looked like a sculpted marble statue, getting contorted ugly with jealousy for a moment before getting back to normal.
"You want another kiss, don’t you?" he licked his lower lip making Talia close her lips tightly and shake her head with her eyes widened.
Talia could see that he wasn’t believing that Cyrus was her first love. It made her heart warm. She was amazed by how much he knew about her.
" I don’t know if I told you before.... Cyrus told me that day... That he’d marry me if I can’t find a king to marry," Talia held back her urge to wrap her arms around his shoulder and kiss him.
