Third person POV

"Come on!... "

Vera basically pulled Julius along with her through the mall's hallways stopping at every shop to stare through the windows but end up not even going in.

She pulled him up to a dress store and stopped gawking at a gorgeous red backless gown that was on display as the newest piece

"If you like it we can buy it doll"

She bit on her lower lip thinking

"No. It's not that pretty"

Julius knowing very well that she was lying took her hand and pulled her in to the store. Immediately he stepped foot into the store

Everyone stopped what they were doing and just stared at him. His presence demanded attention

A woman rushed up to him with a rather unnecessary smile plastered on her face

"Good day Mr Chrysanthos May we help you with anything? "

Vera watched in shock as his whole demeanor changed. He stood firm and straight as he looked around the store, she could feel the same power radiating off him like it was when they first met.

He always found a way to make anyone loose their concentration and composure just by a single glance.

"My wife and I would like to see that piece"

Julius pointed to the red dress Vera was admiring earlier and the woman's eyes lit up as she scurried off to get the dress

"I don't think it's even gonna fit me"

Vera pouted at Julius.

"I'm sure it'll look gorgeous on you. If anyone can pull off a dress like that it's my doll now give me one of your cheeky smiles"

She smiled blushing a little. The woman rushed back to them with the dress in her hands

"Here you go Madame. The dressing rooms are right around the back. Please come in Sir"

She led them to the back of the store and they hadn't realised it was this big.

They were shown a whole different area with lounge chairs and tables. There were three rooms that had more racks filled with designer dresses, evening gowns and so much more.

The woman left them alone in the lounge room to get more options. Julius walked up to Vera who still looked a bit skeptic about the dress.

"Don't worry doll. Just go try it on"

She looked at him worried

"Just for me"

She nodded walking in to one of the rooms and leaving a crack open. Julius waited for Vera as she stripped and slipped into the dress.

"How is it. It's a bit too much"

Julius turned and was stunned. The dress clung at her curves perfectly and it looked ravishing on her.

He walked up to her as she tried to pull the dress down.

He wrapped his hands around her waist pulling her into him he spoke in a low and husky tone right into her ear.

"You look so sexy I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself"

His tone sent chills down her spine as her face turned scarlet. He pulled away and dropped a kiss on her parted lips before the woman walked back in with three racks of dresses.

"Wow madam. That dress looks beautiful on you"

"Yes. We'll take it"



"Great. I'll have it packed for you then"

Vera slipped out of the dress and handed it to the woman who got it ready and gave it to them before they left the shop

They were walking hand in hand past other shops when all of a sudden a blonde girl with a face splitting smile ran up to Julius and thre her hands around his neck

Vera's POV

I watched as she clung to my Julius like he was her life support. I didn't notice I was biting on my lip angrily until I tasted blood

"Oh Julius so nice to see you again. It's been such a long time"

Seeing her hands on his shoulders made my blood boil. I thugged on Julius's arms and it well got her attention

"Oh sorry I don't think we have met My name is Vera Chrysanthos as in Julius's wife" She accepted my handshake with a forced smile on her face that any one could see from miles away and I mirrored her gesture

"Julius you didn't tell me you liked red heads I would have died my hair"

Was this Barbie being serious I thugged Julius's arm pulling him away with me as I shouted back to her

"Sorry we have to go.

You too will catch up much later! "

I rushed us out of there before I could hear her reply. When i stopped I heard chuckling and I glared at Julius

"What's so funny" I asked crossing my hands against my chest

"Nothing. The fact that you look absolutely adorable when you're jealous"

"I'm not jealous! " I frowned up at him

"I'm simply being territorial

Your mine and I'm stacking my claim"

"Okay Madame Then you won't mind I call her back then" He smiled at me

"Don't you dare " I growled at him and he just chuckled.

I rolled my eyes annoyed to my core

"Someone's grumpy

How about we get something to eat? "

"Okay

I'm only agreeing because I'm hungry"

I walked forward with my hands folded against my chest as Julius followed behind me. We walked into a Mexican themed restaurant and the decor was so exotic I gawked at the interior.

A male waiter with jet black hair walked up to us

"Good day Madame, sir" As he spoke his attention was on me mainly and I could see the looks he was giving me and so could Julius as he placed his hand at the small of my back.

"Can we get a seat? " Julius cleared his throat staring plainly at the boyish waiter.

"Right this way"

He walked us through the restaurant as many other couples were seated enjoying their meals. We stopped at a table and I walked over to the seat.

Julius pulled the seat out for me before I could and I smiled at him knowing fully well why he did that. I like Jealous Julius. I took my seat with the same cheeky smile still plastered on my face.

"The menu"

The waiter handed it to me probably afraid of the death glares Julius was giving him. His hand grazed mine as he handed it to me and I could see the steam coming out of Julius's ears and honestly apart from the discomfort I felt I was liking this.

He left us to decide what we would like and I kept my eyes trained on the menu in my hand avoiding Julius's stares

"I hate this place" He grumbled and I couldn't help the giggle that escaped my lips

"Could it be because of one waiter in particular? " I smirked at him and he glared

"I hate him"

"You hate everyone"

"Fair enough"

The waiter came and the look Julius gave him almost made me burst kit laughing but I had to swallow it

"Are you ready to order? "

"Oh yes I'll have the Manchaca"

"And you sir? "

"A shot of tequila "

"Coming right up"

He left again and I looked at Julius wondering why he would order liquor. He looked like something was on his mind and I was concerned

"Hey. Is everything okay? "

He sighed "I hadn't told you yet but there is this family dinner we have to go to. It's actually why I insisted you buy that dress"

"Dinner? Why didn't you tell me before and why do you seem so worked up about it? "

"Because my uncle and entire family are going to be there Even my grandmother and I don't want anyone to treat you badly because they don't approve of you. I'm worried because my family have a lot of crazy expectations from their daughters in law and I don't want you to go through the stress" He let out a sigh running a hand through his disheveled hair making it look even better

"It's okay" I placed my hand on his that was on the table "I'll be fine. I promise "

I smiled giving his hand a light squeeze to reassure him

"When is the dinner? "

"Tomorrow"
