To be honest, while Michael had been buying a dress and shoes for Sarah to wear on their date, he had also gone into the accessories section, to see if there was anything that would suit Sarah.
Suddenly, his eyes caught a white gold ring with a diamond on it. It looked so beautiful that he immediately asked the clerk for the ring.
"Are you going to propose? That lady must be really lucky," said the young lady with a smile on her face and sounded very friendly. It was as if she didn't recognize Michael at all and was just happy that she managed to sell the very expensive ring.
? Michael was a little surprised when he heard that.
Oh right! What if he proposes to Sarah? Tonight seems like the perfect night to do that.
Even though it was a rash decision, Michael loves that woman and to be honest wants to marry her. He didn't think they'd ever have the chance to have dinner together like tonight again.
So, he decided to propose to Sarah after hearing her explanation.
Or…. That's what Michael has planned tonight.
When he heard that Sarah wanted their relationship to be taken slowly, his courage and the words he had been trying to practice earlier disappeared instantly.
This is not the right time to propose!
Michael really felt like an idiot. He thought Sarah was ready to be with him again because of her attitude, but he was so wrong!
"Okay, we'll do it slowly," Michael said, then forced his lips into a smile even though he was a bit disappointed by it.
Sarah nodded and took another sip of her wine. Her throat suddenly felt dry!
The atmosphere between the two of them then became silent. They had finished all the food the waiter had brought them. In fact, the dessert was also finished.
It suddenly became awkward as both of them just stared at each other and didn't know what to do.
Suddenly, the sound of a song with a slow beat started to fill the restaurant.
Michael didn't order to play music like that, but it seems because the restaurant staff saw that they had finished eating and weren't talking, that person immediately started playing music.
Well… Michael thanked them for it. The situation had truly become awkward.
"They suddenly started playing music," Michael said quietly and looked awkward.
"Yes," Sarah replied, moving her head to the rhythm of the slow music.
Suddenly, Michael stood up from his chair and approached Sarah while extending his right hand.
"Would you like to dance?" asked Michael with a big smile on his face.
Sarah's eyes widened at that, before her facial expression immediately changed to a smile and grabbed Michael's hand.
Michael smiled when Sarah accepted his invitation.
He then immediately put one hand to hug Sarah's waist, while Sarah's hand was placed on Michael's shoulder. Both then looked at each other while moving their bodies to the rhythm.
"It's been a long time since we've danced together," Michael muttered suddenly as he looked Sarah in the eye.
"You're right. I feel glad no one else is here," Sarah replied with a shy smile.
"Why? You are a great dancer," Michael said with a smile.
"Ah! You flatter me," Sarah said shyly.
She still remembers when she and Michael danced at their wedding, and she stepped on Michael's toe. Luckily, at that time Michael acted as if nothing had happened so no one knew about it.
"I'm serious," Michael said, then turned Sarah around and hugged her again.
"Right, right," replied Sarah, who did not want to argue with the man.
The two then danced without saying anything. Unlike before, which felt awkward, this time it wasn't at all. They were comfortable with the silent situation.
Suddenly, the music changed to a slower and more intimate one. Michael then let go of the hand that was holding Sarah's hand, and held Sarah's waist.
As if she knew what the man meant, Sarah put her arms around Michael's neck. The distance between the two of them was getting closer to that position.
"You look very beautiful tonight," Michael whispered softly.
Sarah could feel Michael's breath when he whispered softly like that. The distance between the two of them was too close!
However, she liked the feeling. It feels good.
"Thank you. You look handsome too," Sarah whispered while still looking at Michael. The man's face obviously had a change compared to when they were younger, but it was a good change. He became more and more handsome and aging like a fine wine.
"And you smell good. I like your perfume," continued Sarah, who could clearly smell Michael's perfume.
Michael's lips smiled at that. He was grateful Sarah liked it.
The atmosphere between them returned to silence, only the rhythm of the song, and each other's breaths that they could hear. They moved left and right to the beat of the song with their eyes locked on each other, as if there was nothing else they could see, besides the eyes of the person in front of them.
Suddenly, Michael couldn't hold himself back any longer. The woman's face, her bewitching eyes, her lips red with lipstick.
He wants that woman!
Slowly, Michael began to bring his lips closer that were already very close. He did it slowly and surely, as if giving Sarah a chance to reject him if she didn't think the same way as him.
Sarah noticed Michael's head slowly approaching her to kiss her. However, Sarah did nothing but just closed her eyes, waiting for his lips to touch hers.
Sarah could feel the rush of dopamine, oxytocin, and serotonin hitting her system as Michael's lips touched hers. Her heart pounded wildly, and she felt like she was flying into the clouds nine.
It wasn't the first time Michael kissed her, but somehow, this kiss felt different. Maybe because lately she had started to question Michael's feelings for her, and was feeling insecure.
Or maybe it was because she had been drinking wine and she was currently under the influence of alcohol.
Whatever it was, Sarah felt like butterflies were tickling her stomach when Michael's lips touched hers and began to bite them slowly.
Sarah then opened her lips, reciprocating every gentle kiss given by the man, until finally they both felt that this was no longer enough.
Don't know who started it, the kiss that had been soft began to turn hot with the tongue between their mouths. It feels so good.
A small moan suddenly escaped Sarah's lips as Michael's tongue went down her neck and bit it lightly and then sucked it .
"Michael…" Sarah moaned, who unconsciously closed her eyes and tilted her head, giving Michael access to kiss her neck more freely.
When Sarah felt Michael's hand begin to rise and touch her chest, Sarah suddenly pushed Michael gently.
"Should we go upstairs?" Sarah asked breathlessly and looked at Michael with a seductive grin.
