Chapter 69: Eleanor's Acceptance (2)

Ch-68 

Opening the door, Eleanor saw Cedric standing in front of the door feeling worried. A bright smile formed on her face as she stared at him. Indeed, he was the real heartthrob of the woman in this generation. 

"What happened?" She asked. 

"Eleanor, if you don't like me, you can leave me. But don't torture yourself like this," Cedric said to her with a worried and regretful expression.

He knew he overdid when he scared her earlier. But he was overwhelmed by his anger and desperation. But she was staying in the bathroom for more than half an hour. He couldn't help but feel flustered at the thought of her torturing herself. If she needs freedom from him and doesn't want him, he would go away. He will not allow her to torture herself. If her happiness lies somewhere else. He would let go of her and will help her reach it without her notice. After all, he Is a person who wants his loved ones to be happy. 

"Shh…" Eleanor said pinning him to the wall while placing her finger on his lips. 

"Cedric…" She called out. He looked into her eyes. Her usual dark emerald eyes looked different. Her eyes were the hue of the new spring growth, bright and soft all at once. There were flecks of strength, of the kind of green that comes only as summer advances. There is a kind of green that speaks to the soul of nature, of fresh wands of grass and new buds, and her eyes were that bright colour, bold and beautiful. 

There used to be confusion and everything else in her green emerald eyes previously were like that, but now he could see the clarity in her eyes. Her eyes looked like they were woven with the finest green threads in the world. There was only one thing that can be seen in her eyes… that was the affection she had towards him. 

"I thought about us many times, in many different ways. But every different time… I concluded that I am not fit for you." 

"I couldn't bear the confusion anymore. So… I called my bestie and asked her for her opinion. She said she can't give any opinion on our relationship or the feelings I have for you. But she said… I have to keep all the securities and insecurities aside and ask my heart and soul to know whether I like you or not." 

"She told me… if the answer is a no, then I should stop pestering you and deal with my troubles by myself. And shouldn't toy with your feelings. If I like you, I shall say yes without waiting for the right time. If I wait for it… I am losing the chance of being with you, without even saying it!"

"Cedric… I don't want to regret anything later. Not now or today or tomorrow." 

"I like you, Cedric. And a life with you is not bad to me. We can buy a house for ourselves and have two children and then we can hand over our companies to them when they were big enough. After that, we can go on a world tour and visit all the beautiful places while living leisurely. Don't you think it's good?" She said as she looked at him, with her sparkling green eyes. 

Cedric felt that he was seeing fireworks that were blasted in the green forest making her extremely beautiful. The way she looked right now were branded into his mind, as she spoke about her future plans with him…it made him feel like he was at the top of the world. 

When she didn't find the answers to her question, she stared into his eyes. Like every time… his eyes were not filled with the mischievousness or the desire he has for her. As she stared into his eyes, she found herself being captivated by them. His eyes were the colour of earth kissed by spring rains, the hue that promises to stir life from dormant seeds, the nascent plants guided upward by the light before blossoming into the vibrant colours of a new season. In those earthy hues was his soul, not in the way of those cheesy romance novels, so obsessed with lust, but with the kind of beauty that expands a moment into a personal eternity, a heaven you wish to be a part of.

Cedric caught her finger on his lips and pulled her closer. Placing his hands on either side of her waist, he hugged her closer to him. 

"I finally won against the game of fate and love. The fears in my heart and in my head… are cleared. I finally got you," he said as he began kissing her forehead with a lot of love. His lips didn't leave her head for a long time, they lingered there, passing the warmth of his lips to her head. 

Eleanor felt comfortable with his kiss. She remembered her brother and father kissing her forehead when she was asleep, assuring her, that they were there for her to protect her. That was one of the sweetest things she felt in her life. She never thought there would be someone who could kiss her forehead and assure her that they would be there for her and by her side for life long. 

Eleanor didn't loathe the feeling, but she liked it. The frown on her face smoothened. She found herself wanting the kiss to be prolonged for more time. To her dissatisfaction, the warmth on her forehead was gone within a few seconds. "Eleanor, I am lucky to have you," he said to her. 

His chocolate brown orbs flowed with the love and gentleness he had for her. There was a certain emotion and certain side that Cedric had never shown to anyone or anywhere. A bright smile formed on her face as she looked at him. 

"I have to say that. I. AM. LUCKY. TO. HAVE. YOU," she said to him, dropping a small peck on his chin. 

Eleanor was 5'6 feet tall while Cedric is 6'3 feet tall. In front of him, she is too small. Even if she has to kiss him, she couldn't reach his lips but his chin.. When they kissed, he has to bend down to her level for better access.
