Chapter 57

As they drove down the road, Kiara kept sneaking glances at Zane who was busy on his phone.

"What is it? Do you want to say something?" Zane questioned as he dropped his phone and turned

to her.

"You look great in casual wear" He was literally dressed in black pants and a black button up shirt.

He tucked half of the shirt in and didn't button his shirt up fully, revealing his chiseled chest.

Gosh! He looked like he just got down from a runway but then again, he looked like that no matter

what he wore.

“Thank you but I have a feeling that's not why you're staring at me so what is it?" She bit her lower

lip.

"Why do you seem so close with Samantha?" He chuckled.

“I knew this question was going to come up, I just didn't know when. To answer your question,

Samantha and I are not as close as everyone thinks. When you left, she never left my side and made

sure I was okay, made sure I wasn't wallowing in my sorrow and no matter how hard I pushed her

away, she kept coming back so I just stopped pushing her and let her do whatever she wanted but

we are not close. She's like... A puppy" Kiara rolled her eyes. More like Bat.

“But you keeping her so close to you is giving her ideas. I won't be surprised if she's calling herself

Your fiancee or wife. She's probably parading herself around the country and calling herself Mrs

Black and because of how close you both are, people will believe it" She took a deep breath after

everything she said then turned to Zane just to see him staring at her with an amused look on his

face.

"What? Why are you staring at me like that?" He shook his head then raised up his hand and poked

her cheek with his finger.

“Is that jealousy in your voice, My love?" Kiara Scoffed as she swatted his hand away.

“You wish. I mean why will I be jealous?" He shrugged and she shrieked when she suddenly wrapped

his arms across her waist and pulled her closer.

“If it helps, I'll make sure to cut all ties with her when we get back, okay?" Kiara stared at him then

scoffed.

“I don't care but if you want to do that, I won't stop you" Zane grinned then placed a kiss on her

cheek

"We are almost there, okay and I'm sure you're going to like it since you like history and all" She

turned to him with wide eyes.

“It's another historical place?” He tilted his head.

"Yes it is but I don't really know the history of it but what I do know is that it's now a place where

Couples visit and spend time together" Her eyes brightened.

“That sounds wonderful. I thought we were having a picnic" He chuckled.

"Well we can if we wanted but I doubt you'd want to when we get there” After hearing those words,

Kiara could hardly keep her excitement at bay. She kept bouncing on her seat as she stared out the

window while Zane just watched her quietly with a fond smile on his face.

"We are here" Zane finally uttered after what felt like hours. Kiara beamed at him and as soon as the

driver came to a halt, she climbed out of the car and glanced around.

“Erm.... Zane?" She called out then turned around just to see him standing behind her.

"Yes, my love?" She glanced around at the trees and bushes then looked up at him with a pout.

"You said we weren't having a picnic" He chuckled then grabbed her hand.

“I said we could have a picnic but don't worry, this is not the surprise. This is just the entrance. We

have to walk there because it's part of the experience" After saying that, he muttered something to

the driver but she was too excited to listen.

After he was done, he led her down a pathway which she had to admit had a fairytale-like feeling to

it. Everywhere around them was covered with trees and bushes but it all added to the fairytale

feeling and the flowers she saw were the most beautiful flowers she had ever seen.

“These are the most beautiful flowers I've ever seen” She murmured as she caressed one of the pink

roses beside her. Zane stopped in his steps then reached out for the flower and plucked it out

before placing it behind her ear.

“There you go although the flower looks like dirt compared to you" She didn't know if it was

because of how cheesy his likes were or it was because of the way he was staring at her that made

her cheeks red as a tomato but one thing was for sure, Zane was good with his words which made

her think....

"How many other women do you talk to the way you talk to me?" Her question seemed to have

caught him off guard.

“I've never been with another woman besides you" Kiara immediately turned away from him so he

won't see how happy his words made her.

"Well you'd never be able to see someone better than me so I'm not surprised" He chuckled then

placed a kiss on her cheek.

"You are starting to sound like me. Am I a bad influence on you?" She nodded.

“You have always been a bad influence on me but I don't mind it" She murmured then wrapped her

arms around him.

“Can we go now?" Zane nodded then they walked down the pathway and after a while, Kiara

gasped when she instantly realized where they were.

"Oh my goddess, are we at the temple of love?" She shrieked as she jumped away from Zane.

“I knew you would know what it is. You like it?" She immediately nodded.

“This was one of the places I wanted to visit while we were here. Oh my, it's so beautiful, just like in

the pictures” She was about to step forwards but Zane grabbed her hand.

“Wait, we can't walk over there just yet" Kiara furrowed her eyebrows and was about to ask him why

when he clapped his hand and some few men and women ran towards them then lined up in a

vertical line at their sides with a basket in their hands.

"What's going on?" He grinned.

“I watched about the place in a movie before and at that time, it was spring in the movie so the

couple had peach blossom petals falling on them as they walked towards the temple but we just

happened to get here when it's summer and no petals are falling down do I decided to improvise”

He took hold of her hand and as they walked down the pathway, the men and women began

throwing petals on them and at that moment, everything seemed to be in slow motion to Kiara.

She couldn't believe all the things he was doing just to make her happy. She glanced up at him and

when he smiled at her, she knew she was going to be in love with him for the rest of her life....
