NOT THE USUAL CINDERELLA (Season 2)

LUNCH WITH FRIENDS

In a slow motion, Alvero leaned his head towards Deanda, playing with gentle movements, Deanda's hair beautifully rolled out tonight, adding to the graceful side of her.

"I owe you too much. If I dare to hurt, let alone betray you, then you can do anything to me, to punish me." Hearing Alvero's words with her beautiful hazel eyes staring at Deanda, Deanda's chest rippled.

"Why do I think of punishment for you, whereas I believe you will always be there for me and love me until the end of our lives. Instead of talking about such bad things, why don't we talk about wonderful things for our future?" Deanda immediately switched the conversation which for him would be a burden on the mind.

Since Alvero declared her love when they honeymooned in the villa.... At that time Deanda decided to devote herself as a good and loyal wife to Alvero. Giving his heart and love whole only to Alvero.

No matter what storm they face, Deanda swears she will remain by Alvero's side and trusts Alvero with all her heart.

"You are my best woman. Too bad I'm late to know that you're the little girl I've been looking for to repay my life's debt." Alvero said as she leaned her head spoiled on the chest of Deanda who was still sitting on her lap.

"Everything has its time my Al. No need for anything to be regretted. What to regret if only that day we did not meet. Imagine I could lose you if fate didn't bring us together, making me barely able to breathe." Deanda said softly, making a happy and proud smile on Alvero's lips.

A Deanda who since their meeting at the beginning always act cold and try to avoid it, especially when Alvero plays his figure as the Alvi master. And now, Deanda had already so eloquently said such friendly words to him. Realizing it made the happy smile on Alvero's face widen even more.

"You really made me fall more and more in love with you sweetie. It seems like the love sickness you gave me is really in the final stage, so acute, and incurable, unless you heal it. So, are you taking your medicine now?" Deanda immediately grimaced to hear the sweet words of Alvero.

"I love you my Al." Without answering Alvero's question, Deanda said her love statement while hugging Alvero's neck with both arms, leaving Alvero's head even more in his chest.

“The best medicine for me, your love reply is so great for me.” Alvero whispered softly as her hands began to move behind Deanda's nightgowns that finally could only smile bashfully, knowing what Alvero was wanting from her at the moment.

Deanda felt her eyes still so sleepy this morning, several times Deanda blinked her eyes while yawning. But, the memory that she and Alvero had to return to the city of Tavisha this morning made Deanda inevitably force her eyes to open.

In addition, Deanda had to return to the town of Tavisha due to the promise of lunch she had made with Abella and the others today.

As soon as Deanda opened her eyes the first thing she did was turn her body towards Alvero who was still holding her from the back so tightly, she said, under the thick blanket that covered the plain bodies of the two of them after their hot activities last night.

"Morning sweety..." The quiet yet friendly greeting from Alvero was enough to make Deanda flinch a little, because she thought Alvero was still asleep.

His majesty turned out to be awake, after repeatedly asking for his ration last night, I think his highness will feel tired and wake up more slowly. It turned out that as usual, his majesty still woke up early, as if the glorious energy reserves were available in abundance. I don't know how your noble stamina can be so good, while I still feel tired. Is it possible because now I am practicing martial arts less and less?

Deanda said in her heart, replying to Alvero's greeting with a friendly kiss on her husband's lips, without answering Alvero's greeting in words. Alvero who got a congratulatory reply so sweetly from his wife, quickly moved to tighten his embrace to Deanda.

"Again?" Deanda said briefly while slightly keeping her head out of Alvero's reach.

"Why? While it was morning. There's still an hour and a half from now, before we leave for Tavisha." Alvero said as his fingers were busy playing Deanda's broken hair and covering her cheeks.

"Other times yes.Yes last night you overwhelmed me, I still feel tired." Alvero immediately smiled amusedly at Deanda's innocent reply.

"I will wait patiently until your strength recovers. I also don't want you to be too tired, so I can hear the news about our baby right here." Alvero said gently as she stroked Deanda's flat stomach that was under the blanket.

I also hope to soon give you the glad tidings of that noble one. It feels like my life will be more perfect if the fruit of our love is present in my womb.

Deanda said inwardly as her hand moved against the back of Alvero's palm that was still caressing her stomach cordially.

"I love you sweetie." Alvero whispered softly as she kissed Deanda's nape which revealed her happy smile.

"Let's take a shower and say goodbye to Tavisha." Alvero said as he let go of his embrace to Deanda, planning to wake up from his sleep and purge himself.

But Deanda quickly turned her body and faced Alvero.

"Yesterday night when we did a video call, Abella invited me to lunch at the cafe, Clare and Cleosa would come to eat together." Alvero slightly scrunched his forehead hearing the words from Deanda.

"Allright? I'm coming with them this afternoon?" Deanda said with her beautiful amber eyes looking towards Alvero with a pleading gaze, making Alvero who originally wanted to say not only be silent for a moment.

"Come on my Al. Can you? It's so rare that I meet them because of our busy lives." Hearing the question about the permit again, Alvero immediately took a deep breath.

Although since Deanda became his assistant, making almost 24 hours of their day together, Alvero still let Deanda out of the reach of his eyes for some time made him feel uncomfortable and unwilling.

Alvero did not care about how he viewed and judged him as an overprotective, super possessive or acute jealous man, as Enzo often told him. To be sure, Alvero can breathe a sigh of relief when wherever his eyes look, he hopes to always be able to see the figure of his beloved woman. And Alvero doesn't feel there's anything wrong with that.
