Chapter 66
AMELIA:
As soon as I was done preparing, I headed outside where Dexter was waiting for me. He stood beside the car and raised his gaze at me once he saw me approaching the stairs and I saw a wide smile on his face as I moved closer to him,
I had no idea what this was all about, but Dexter had a surprise for me, and I was so excited about it.
He outstretched his hand towards me as I got to him, and once I placed my hand on his, he gave it a light peck,
"You look beautiful, Amelia." He murmured and I chuckled,
I watched him open the car door so I could step in and once I stepped in, he came in afterwards.
"Can’t you give him a little hint of where we’re heading?" I questioned Dexter after about an hour’s drive and we hadn’t gotten to our destination.
It was already clear that we were heading to the human world. "We’re almost there, Amelia." He responded, and I frowned at him. The suspense was killing me already but I knew it was better to wait.
He pulled me closer to himself, "You’ll certainly love it, trust me." His last words were able to keep me calm and I took a deep breath in. After about 30 minutes more, the car halted and I instantly knew we had gotten to our destination
The door was opened and I stepped out of the car after Dexter. It was shocking how we ended up stopping right in front of a flower shop,
Through the transparent window, I could see how beautiful the inside of the store was, and it warmed my heart so much. It had always been one of my dreams to own a flower shop. I had worked so hard for this, and I was so close to getting it if my step-sister hadn’t ruined everything completely. But then a blessing in disguise happened, and Dexter was that blessing. "You want to get me some flowers?" I questioned Dexter as soon as I snapped myself out of thinking about my past. Even though I didn’t get this, I still had the kind of love I had always dreamt about and that was enough,
Dexter took my hand and we began to walk toward the entrance of the store,
He tucked his hand into his pocket and brought out a few keys,
"Do you wanna open it?’
I raised my gaze at him, utterly confused at his words,
"Isn’t that supposed to be the job of the store owner?" I responded still with arched brows but he stared at me and smiled afterwards.
"It’s you, Amelia. You’re the store owner."
I tried to take a deep breath in so I could process what I had just heard from Dexter. No damn way I heard this store belonged to me
