His Drama Queen novel Chapter 45

"I still take hours to dress up."

Ethan traced my lips with his fingers as he kissed me on my forehead. I love forehead kisses. "I will be there to wait."

"Why are you so patient with me?" I asked as I stared in his eyes again. His eyes held so much adoration, I could practically melt.

"Why?" He asked, giving me a small smile. "Because what I have with you, I don't want with anyone else." Ethan pulled me closer towards him and nuzzled his face in my hair. "You are jetlagged, princess. Want to take a nap?"

I yawned as I stayed in his arms for a little longer. I have missed him after all. "A nap sounds good."

Soft music in the distance...

My eyes fluttered open as I shielded my eyes from the sunlight. It was shining right into my face. I yawned as I reached for my phone on the nightstand. When I finally got hold of it I heard footsteps outside the room.

"Good Morning."

Ethan stood in the doorway with a tray of food in his hands. He wore a crisp dark blue suit and it seemed like he was ready to go to work. His hair was neatly combed and a big smile was plastered on his face.

"Good Morning." I mumbled confused as I switched on my phone to see what time it was. "Did I sleep through until the morning?"

Ethan chuckled and put the tray with food in front of me. He walked over towards the window and closed the blinds a little so that the sun wasn't shining directly at me. "Yes, you did. I wanted to wake you up, but you were sleeping so peacefully."

"Wow, I hadn't realized that I was so tired." I looked at the breakfast tray and my mouth started to water. There was scones, a cup of coffee, and bagels.

"That looks so delicious." I said as I grabbed a scone and took a bite of it. It was so good, it basically melted in my mouth.

"Rose called when you were asleep. I picked up your phone. She wants to meet you today to discuss the opening of the boutique." Ethan informed me as he sat down at the end of the bed.

I stopped chewing on the delicious scone and stared at him agape. She came back early from her vacation. "What time?"

Ethan glanced at his watch and then looked up at me again. "In two hours."

"Thank god." I let out a breath of relieve as I continued to devour the deliciously looking scones. Two hours will be enough time to get ready and exfoliate my face.

"Oh my god...This is so good." I pointed at the scones. "I wouldn't mind waking up to it every morning."

Ethan chuckled as he watched me eat. "I would love to stay here and watch you eat, but I need to be at a meeting now. The car keys are on the kitchen table. Can I take you out for lunch today?"

"I will call you. I have a lot to catch up with Rose." I told him as I sip on the coffee.

"Rose can come along too." He said as he smoothed out his suit.

"And third wheel? I think not."

"Fine." Ethan laughed as he stood up from the bed. "What about dinner?"

"Dinner sounds better." I told him with a smile.

"I can see that! You looked so miserable the last time I saw you." Rose caressed my cheek and gave me a loving smile.

"Thank goodness I'm not anymore." I chuckled. "Anyways, I should go now. I have a dinner date to go."

Rose gave me a nod. "So romantic. Well have fun! I will see you tomorrow."

"Don't forget to send me the address." I reminded her.

She nodded her head. "I will not...Wait!"

I turned around and raised my eyebrows up at her. "Yeah?"

Rose opened the bottom drawer and pulled out a red velvety box. "I want to give this to you." She whispered.

"What is it?" I asked as I took the box from her.

"Open it." She ushered me. "You will look stunning in it."

I opened the box and gasped. My eyes widened in surprise as I saw what was in it. "Rose, no I can't. This is yours."

"But now it's yours." She closed her eyes, a small smile playing on her lips. "He gave it to me as a gift. He told me that I was the keeper of his soul and holder of his heart."

Rose opened her eyes and chuckled. She blinked away her tears and continued. "My old man, he was so romantic. Now, I'm going to give this to you. I believe in you, Nicole. I know you will not break Ethan's heart. I love that boy, he is like the son I've never had. And I love you, you're like the daughter I've never had. Keep him happy, will ya?"
