**CHAPTER TWENTY SIX**

**Blake**

I take her hand in mine as I lead the way to balcony, her tiney soft footsteps behind me.

"Where are you taking me?", she asks and I smile. "You'll see", I reply and she stays silent.

We enter the elevator and step in. Silence fills the ride up, but yet it's still so loud, the air thick with tension as I glance over to her only inches away from me, watching her bite her pink plump lip. Which I have come to notice is a habit.

The elevator opens and she gasps yet again. She lets out of my hand as she steps out first, admiring the view of the city lights on the balcony. The highest point on this very tall glass building.

I watch behind her carefully, studying her features filled with wonder. Her movements soft and suttle as she nears he edge.

She feels my gaze on her and turns her head towards me with a smile on her face. I bite my lip walking towards her and stand by her side. Her light breeze brushes through her hair and she closes her eyes, placing both hands on the silver railing that surrounds the edge.

"You were amazing tonight", I state and she opens her eyes. The light shining perfectly on her skin, appearing smooth and silky.

"Thank you", she replies. Suddenly she turns her body towards me, leaning on one arm against the railing.

"Where did you disappear to after the performe?", she asks sounding amused.

"I'm a busy man Delilah" I say not giving much farther information and she just nods in return.

"Thank you by the way", she says and I looks at her to continue.

"For giving Martin the limo job. I think he could really use it to finally put his life back in order", she furrows her eyebrows staring at her hands.

"It's my pleasure. After all, I've heard quite a few stories of your generosity towards helping Martin", I state and her head snaps in my direction.

"Have you two been gossiping about me?", she asks narrowing her eyes. She gasps as I nod my head 'yes' with a smirk. "Only good things", I state honest and she blushes, creating a natural glow under the moon light. The only source of light.

"You know what Delilah, I really don't like being in unwanted company since it's part of my job and I'm practically forced into it", I chuckle. "I find myself enjoying being in your company", I say truthfully not even realising the words escaping my mouth. But I didn't regret a single word.

"Then I guess I'm not alone then", she returns smiling. A settling feeling buzzes through me, feel pleased that with her response knowing that she too feels the same.

"You not the way I expected you to be", she says suddenly. Her voice filled with amusement.

"Yeah, and what am I supposed to be like?", I ask with a grin.

"I don't know, I guess money changes people. You know, fortune gets into their heads and they think they better than everyone else", she says gesturing her hands in the air while playfully rolling her eyes causing me to chuckle.

"You have such a manly deep chuckle", she states through a laugh. She stares at me as my laugh subsides. "I like it", she whispers. More to herself as she places a piece of hair behind her ear.

"I like the way you speak your mind", I state and she blushes.

"Yeah sometimes my mouth says things before my brain even thinks of it", she says widening her eyes with a smile letting out a sweet laugh.

She looks beautiful whenever a laugh escapes her lips. The way her body shakes slightly, the way she uses her hands to move the loose pieces of hair away from her face. Her dimples showing more clearly in a smile. She looks as if all her worries in the world disappeared into thin air for a few seconds, allowing her to be free.....to be happy.

I watch her features light up in amazement. Thinking to myself how much beauty this single human-being holds standing before me. Slowly with my hand I place it on her cheek.

Her big brown eyes softening under my touch, as I trail my thumb arcossing her cheek in a gentle movement. Her body slowly moves forward mimicing mine as I do the same.

I smile as her hands wrap around my neck, only inches away from my face.
Her eyes fill with wonder, and something hidden behind them. As if there's something bothering her at this very moment. I bite my lip wondering if she's starting to hesitant being with me.

"Is everything okay?", I ask softly loosening my grip around her. Her eyes fill with disappointed before quickly vanishing as she noticed my gaze still fixed on her.

"What is it like?", her voice strained full of curiosity, her eyes roaming around the city.

"What's what like?", I ask raising my eyebrow waiting for her to continue.

"The life of having anything and everything you ever wanted", she states staring deep into my eyes, sending shivers through my bones.

"It's amazing, but I feel like I'm being watched by every single move and decision I make, because it comes with it's own consequence", I state honestly tearing my gaze from hers. "It comes with a great responsibility. Being the owner of world wide companies has it's ups, and it never fails to have it's downs", I say the last part with a little chuckle.

"But being wealthy means nothing if I have to enjoy it alone", I state placing a piece of hair behind her ear. She blushes under my gentle touch.

"Why would you be alone?", she asks her voice soft.

"Because I haven't found 'the one' ", I say rolling my eyes as the clichè words leave my mouth.

"And she might be closer than I think", I say. Her eyes fill with hurt, as she thinks I'm talking about someone else.

"Maybe you're my mirror staring back me", I say quoting the previous song she sang only moments ago on the stage.

And this time.....she was the one who crashed her lips onto mine, wrapping her arms tightly around my neck.
