Alex again starts eating the food and Anna too joined him. They both were hungry so they never felt that was more for him. But it was so tasty that both of then even licked their fingers. "Umm… Anna, this is so tasty!" Anna smiled hearing her praise again.
Alex continuously praised her while eating her food. He can't get enough of the food made by her. It was the first time that he was eating someone's hand food except his butlers. Can you believe that never ever his mother made food for him? So yes! That never happened. This was the reason he felt immense warmness and happiness in his heart when he saw that she specially made the food for him and that also on his birthday.
Soon the finished the food and as it was getting more cold at night, they decided to lit a bonfire to keep each other warm.
"Well, Anna. We don't need a bonfire to keep each other warm." Alex suddenly said but Anna did not understand what he meant by this?
"I mean except bonfire, there are many other ways to keep each other warm." Alex had a smirk on his face. But Anna surely missed it because still, she thought he was telling something important and survival technique!
"Tell me!" Anna excitedly asked.
But Alex was more interested in showing her about this rather than speaking from his mouth. He got closer to her from behind and hugged her tightly. Anna was startled by this sudden attack of hugs. Was this the way he talking about? Well, no!
Alex kept his face in her hair, inhaling her beautiful fragrance. Right now, he just wanted to hold her forever and never let her go from him.
"A-Alex.. what were you going to tell.." Anna hesitantly asked. She was not used to much intimacy with someone. This whole thing was new for her.
"Let do something productive.." He whispered in her ears when his breath is almost touching her nape. Her neck was now red from the blush.
Who says these things when they are all alone and especially in the mountains? Oh well, it can be considered Alex as the one who says this. Anna pushed him away from her and glared at him.
Alex acted innocent and started helping her in liting up the bonfire. It was if nothing happened just a moment ago but Anna's blush still affected had thought. 'Anna, you have to stay calm and compose! You can not let him trick you!'
Soon, they successfully lit the bonfire with the help of a lighter which was there in Alex's car. They took a blanket that Anna made preparation beforehand and sat near the fire together with a blanket covering them. Spending the night under moonlight and stars with such a special candlelight dinner is worth everything!
Alex was staring at the stars above them when Anna suddenly asked, "Did you like the way the whole thing, the tent and everything is made?" He surely praised her food but what about the scenery? She does not know if he likes being outside like this or not.
"Anna." Alex took her hand in his and intermingled it. "I used to hate my birthday since my childhood. No one used to wish me. Hah, wish is far away thing, no one used to remember my birthday also so I also used to forget it. When either Miyu or my one of the friends used to wish me, then I might realize that yeah it is my birthday. Today, when you gave me all these little and small surprises, I felt that these things are worthy of experiencing. The scenery, tenting bonfire, dinner, everything is perfect in my eyes because it was done by you!" Hearing the words which were coming out from his mouth but by heart too, she felt happy and glorious. After all, everything in the end mattered was his happiness.
"You know, it was the first time that I cooked for someone except my mother."
"Really? Then I feel I was that lucky person to eat food made by your cute and beautiful hands." Anna giggled hearing this. Why was he so shameless?
"Alex, can I ask you one question?" Alex nodded and signed her to go on.
"You said no one used to wish you. So, are your relationsh.i.p.s with your parents not good? I mean you never talked about them either and I never saw them with you or with Scott." Hearing this, Alex's cheerful smile faded away and it was replaced with a frown on his forehead.
Anna felt that she had asked something really wrong so she tried to change the topic but it was of no use because the talk was already done. Before she could have stopped and talked about something else, Alex answered himself.
"Yes, I do not have good relationsh.i.p.s with my parents or with my whole family except Scott. I never talked about them because I rarely talk with them too so most of the time, we are like strangers to each other. I hope now you understand?"
Anna nodded in understanding. She had more questions in her mind but she decided to keep it to herself. The expression of sadness and angriness on Alex's face did not go unnoticed by her eyes. Afraid of disappointing him more, she did not talk about his family anymore.
"Alex, we know each other for such a short period. I never thought of having a friend like you." She felt she needed to tell she really thinks of him. Not a confession but a friendly talk.
"I know we will be friends so yeah," Alex replied/
"How did you know?"
"Maybe, because I knew and had an instinct of mine?"
