Marked her as mine

Chapter 14: The talking teddy

"I'm so into you, I barely breathe."- unknown

Dominic POV

I smiled at myself when I heard the alarm on my phone. Today will be the day. I'm going to meet my sweet Ara with my parents. We will spend our time in their mansion. I can't even hide my smile when I remember her even though we just met the last few days which ended up with her nice kick on my leg. I shook my head remembering how childish she can be. But I guess that made me fall for her even more. I chose a casual outfit for today and hurried my morning routine. I can't wait even for a second. Cheesy!

"I can inhale the excitement from the air," mom said teasing me. I turned around and looked at her walking down the stairs. Dad was behind her holding her hand gently with a smile on his face. I grinned at her words.

"I barely sleep last night mom thinking about her," I said without hiding my feeling which made them burst out laughing at my words.

"You fall too deep, son." This time dad responded while his hand patted on my shoulder.

"Let's bring him for a rescue." Her joke made us laughed in unison.

We headed to the car where the driver was waiting for us. We decided to go in one car today. After two hours on the road, we finally arrived at their mansion. I saw her parents stood in front of their house with a big smile on their faces.

"John." Ara's dad called when he saw dad came out from the car while mom headed to Aunt Mary and pulled her with a friendly hug. I loved the view in front of my eyes now. I love to see my parents and my future in-law being comfortable with each other. Ops, wait, did I just said future in law?

"Dom," Dad's voice snapped me from whatever thought that invaded my mind. They looked at me with their naughty smile. I can sense happiness everywhere. I smiled at them and hugged both her parents with respect. I looked around searching for someone. Yes, her, my sweet Ara but she was nowhere to be seen. My eyebrows arched.

"See, I told you he fall too deep," dad said making everyone laughed while I scratched the back of my neck shyly.

"She is still in her room, son. You can go to her." Aunt Mary said, swept away the question in my head. "Well, if you can't wait," she continued which made me blushed. I chuckled at her tease.

"Can I?" I asked for permission and they nodded their head. I smiled and climbing up the stairs headed to her room but not before mom teased me, "Behave yourself, son" and it ended with their laughter again.

I stepped to her room as her mom mentioned. I knocked on the door a few times and waiting for her to open the door but no response from her. I placed my ear near to the door just to make sure if there is any noise from the room but nothing. After hesitating for a while, I turned the knob. I slowly opened the door and peeked inside. It was a comfy room with dark blue as the theme. The room was dark due to the curtain but I could still see the decoration in the room with the dim light. A queen-size bed was placed in the middle of the room with a white make-up table beside the room and a sofa set in the room. There are white roses in the vase on top of the nightstand. I smiled looking at the feminine figure that covered her body with her comforter. I could see how comfortable she was.

I inched myself closer to her, with no intention to wake her up. She covered her body with the comforter only her head is popped out on the pillow. I saw a big brown teddy on her side. That should be my place, I muttered. Thus, I removed the teddy and I lied beside her and turned my body to face her. I removed the loose hair and stuck it behind her ears so that I can see her face clearly. "I miss you," I whispered but still no response.
