GETTING THE HEART OF THE CEO

The next day, Lindsey woke up and saw her husband looking at her.

“Good morning, sleepyhead,” he said, running his fingers gently over her cheeks.

“Good morning, love,” she yawned lazily, not wanting to get out of bed.

“How long have you been awake?”

“Just a little while.”

“What are you doing, watching me sleep?”

“You looked like an angel sleeping, so I stayed admiring your beautiful face.”

“You’re silly. Today is our first anniversary.”

Kyle grabbed her chin and gave her a soft kiss.

“Now I can truly tell you that I love you. You’re a wonderful woman who slowly entered my heart and gave birth to my life.”

“I liked you from the first day I saw you shirtless in that bed,” she covered her face, trying to hide her blushing cheeks due to the embarrassment caused by her confession.

“So, you’re a pervert who devoured me that day with your eyes.”

“You looked handsome that day, but changing the subject, Love, do you like seafood? Or are you allergic to any?”

“I don’t have allergies, and whatever you prepare for me will be as exquisite as you,” he gave her another tender kiss.

“You’re so beautiful. Who would have thought that the ogre would turn into a tender prince?”

He started tickling her ribs, and she squirmed with laughter.

“Please, love, don’t stop. No more,” she couldn’t contain her laughter.

Kyle pulled her towards him and sat her on his lap, lifting her in his arms.

“Come on, let’s take a bath. Breakfast is ready, and then we can take a walk on the beach.”

The lady in charge of the house offered to buy things for dinner, and Lindsey gave her a list of things she might need. She also offered to stay after work to help with dinner, but Lindsey declined, thanking her but wanting to take care of it herself.

After breakfast, they went for a walk on the beach. The day was sunny, and they walked hand in hand, eventually sitting on the sand.

She got up happily and pulled him by the hands.

“Love, let’s go for a swim. The water is calling us.”

“Sweetheart, you go ahead, and I’ll wait here.”

Playfully, she turned her back and slowly entered the water, starting to swim. There weren’t many people on the beach. It was a private area.

Kyle was enchanted watching his wife when two women approached.

“Hi handsome! Can we join you?”Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“No thanks, I already have company.”

“You’re alone right now. If I were your company, I wouldn’t leave your side.”

Kyle didn’t look at the women next to him; he responded without taking his eyes off the water, drawing a half-smile when he saw his mischievous wife arching her eyebrows and coming out of the water.

Lindsey, who had seen the flirting, approached them and sat next to her husband, and he shamelessly kissed her.

The girls frowned and left, swaying their hips.

“Kyle, not here, there are people.”

“I’m showing you that you have no reason to be jealous.”

“I’m not jealous.”

“I noticed that when you saw the women near me, you ran out of the water. Otherwise, you would have let me keep talking to them.”

“Don’t annoy me with your comments, and yes, I’m jealous. Do you think I didn’t see how the one in the red bikini was eyeing you?” she made a playful face.

Kyle burst into laughter and stood up with her, shaking off the sand from his shorts.

“I confess, I didn’t even look at them because my eyes were fixed on a jealous mermaid,” grabbing her hand, he continued, “Let’s go back to the house, eat, and see what Sonia brought from the market.”

They both walked back home, the distance was five minutes.

“Senores, lunch is ready. Can I serve you?” Sonia commented, placing some things in the pantry.

“Call me Lin; being called ‘senora’ makes me feel old. Yes, we’re starving.”

“Sit down, I’ll take care of you. Lin, I’ve arranged everything you asked for from the market in the fridge; it’s all fresh.”

With a lively smile, she responded, “That’s great, thank you.”

They had lunch amidst stories and laughter, finishing their meal. Lindsey began checking things for dinner.

“Love, how can I help you?” he whispered, standing behind her.

“No, love, I’ll take care of everything for dinner; it’s a surprise.”

“Okay, mischievous one, but first, let’s get that salty water off you.” He took her hands and led her upstairs.

“Sonia went down to prepare the food.”

“Can I help you, ma’am?”

“Thank you, Sonia, you’re so kind. I want to cook as a gift for my husband. If you want to help, you can set the table on the terrace.” She said, being dragged towards the stairs, entering the bathroom.

“Love! What will Sonia think of my perverted husband?”

“Nothing, because I just want you to get rid of the salty water. Or do you want something else?” He said, passing a sponge over her back with a playful smile.

“Nothing will happen because I have a lot of things to do. Let’s hurry.”

After bathing, he stayed checking his emails, and she went down to prepare the food.

As Sonia set the table on the terrace with candles and flowers, Lindsey got distracted with dessert. After finishing, she checked the time; she was stressed, had to go upstairs, get ready.

“Everything is ready. I’m so excited. I hope everything goes well; it’s the first time I’m doing this, Sonia.”

Sonia was amazed at how beautiful the place turned out.

“Lin, everything looks beautiful. Relax, go upstairs and make yourself beautiful. I’ll stay cleaning and then leave.”

“Thank you, Sonia.” She gave her a smile and ran upstairs.

Kyle was annoyed because she grabbed the dress she was going to wear, among other things, and went to the next room to get ready.

After two hours, he came out of his room and knocked on the door next to him.

She opened the door, wearing a white strap dress with red flowers, looking fresh and youthful, with flat sandals and her hair down.

“You’re beautiful, my little doll.” His eyes lit up at the sight of her.

“You don’t look bad either.” He wore a black shirt with beige shorts and beach sandals.

Kyle burst into laughter; he knew he wasn’t dressed for the occasion, but he wanted to be as comfortable as possible with her, without too much formality.

He took her arm and led her to the terrace; she went to the kitchen to set the table while he prepared the champagne glasses.

“Thanks, little doll, you surprise me every day. The food looks elegant.”

“I hope you like it. It’s tuna and shrimp tartare with mustard and honey vinaigrette.”

She cut a piece of fish and brought it to her mouth, savoring it eagerly.

“Mmm, that’s succulent and delicious.”

“Good, love. It’s the first time I’ve made this dish. I’m not bad in the kitchen, so I took a risk.” She murmured happily watching him enjoy the food.

“You have a good taste. I want to taste your cooking more often; from now on, you’ll cook for me on Sundays.”

“Of course, love. It’s my pleasure to spoil the man who makes me happy.”

For dessert, she served a mango and pineapple sweet that they enjoyed while looking at the stars.

Suddenly, the sky lit up with fireworks. She stood up in astonishment, placing her hands on the railing. When it stopped shining, he stood behind her, grabbing her waist, turning her head down so she could see a lit-up phrase in the sand.

“LIN, I LOVE YOU, YOU ARE THE WOMAN WHO BRINGS LIFE TO MY SOUL.”
