The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress - Chapter 342
“Are you hungry?” Mischa asked Vega. The girl shook her head.
“Not really. Are you hungry?” she asked him back. Mischa also shook his head.
“No, but I am worried that you are hungry,” he replied. “What do you think about going to the beach? It’s almost sunset.”
“I’d like that.” Vega’s face was beaming with happiness.
Ahh, watching the sunset with this man would feel so romantic.
“We also still need to buy some clothes,” Mischa reminded her. “When do you want to go shopping?”
He had ditched most of his work outfit when he joined Vega and Altair for sailing. He wouldn’t need them anymore since he had taken an indefinite leave and probably would never return to the office.
The holiday outfits he bought together with Vega were now dirty and they needed to either throw them away and buy new ones, or wash them.
They had talked about shopping for more outfits once they left Monaco. Surely Nice was a good place to do it?
“Ah, you are right. Maybe we can do it tomorrow? After sunset today, I just want to relax, have good food and enjoy the night with a glass of wine or two,” said Vega. “What do you think?”
“I think it’s a good plan,” Mischa replied with a smile.
“Okay, let’s go then,” said Vega excitedly. She climbed down from the bed and put on her sandals. She looked happy and relax. Mischa took out beach sandals from his bag and wore them too.
Now, they were ready to go to the beach.
“We can bring something to drink,” Mischa suggested. “Wanna get a bottle of wine to enjoy with the sunset?”
“Yes, yes.. that will be great!” Vega was excited to hear that. She went to the kitchen and brought out a bottle of red wine and two paper cups. She put them inside the wicker basket hung on the wall and smiled so widely.
Ahh.. this would indeed be a very romantic sunset, she thought to herself.
“Give me the basket. I’ll carry it.” Mischa reached out his hand to get the basket from Vega. She gave it to him willingly.
Mischa carried the basket in his left hand and, with his right hand, he clasped Vega’s hand as they walked together.
Vega walked out of their suite followed by Mischa who locked the door behind him. Then, they walked hand in hand to see the sunset. Some resort guests who saw them pass by couldn’t help but take a second look to admire them.
This couple was so breathtakingly beautiful, they thought.
It was summer, so Mischa was wearing casual grey shorts and a thin white shirt. Vega was wearing a short pink dress that showcased her long slender legs. They both looked so relaxed and carefree.
The beach was only 100 meters away from their suite and soon, their feet had touched the fine grey sand. Mischa and Vega exchanged glances.
Ah… the water was just over there, and the sun was slowly setting in front of them. If they sat here, they could enjoy the view conveniently. A bit far in the ocean, they could see several yachts.
It was a calm summer. Everything looked nice, and even the breeze felt warm on their skin.
“Wanna sit here?” Mischa asked Vega.
The girl nodded excitedly. She removed her sandals and sat on them on the sand. Mischa did the same. He put the basket in front of them and got the wine bottle out, with the paper cups.
Vega remembered their first unofficial date was in Champ De Mars, Paris, last week when they visited the Eiffel Tower at Vega’s request. She bought a bottle of wine from the peddler and sandwiches.
They also watched the sunset there while enjoying wine. Oh, it was so beautiful. They chatted about whatever things and spent the evening like many lovers around them.
Now, there were only the two of them. The next people on the beach were quite far away from them, so it felt like they got a nice little private spot for themselves.
Ahh.. this felt like a real date, Vega thought.
Should she call this a date? She remembered Mischa said he would go on as many dates as she wanted, anywhere in the world.
“What are you thinking?” Mischa asked Vega with a chuckle. When he handed her a paper cup with wine, he could see her smile sheepishly.
What was going on in that beautiful head, he wondered.
Vega lowered her face. She was embarrassed, being caught daydreaming of their relationship and more dates to come.
“Uhmm… I was thinking if I should…” she giggled. “consider this… our first real date.”
“Why?” Mischa asked her. Vega shook her head and pretended she didn’t mean anything by it.
Mischa furrowed his brows and tried to guess what Vega was thinking.
Hmm… was she thinking of today’s date?
Mischa was a man, so dates and calendar didn’t matter to him, but he was in a long-term relationship once and lived together with a woman, so he was guessing that Vega might want to remember today’s date so they could celebrate their anniversary in the future.
A smile slowly curved up on his face, as realization dawned on him.
Ahh.. that must be it.
Ever since he was openly expressing his interest in going out with Vega, there had not been any clarity about the phase of their relationship.
It happened quite naturally as they went out as family slash friends and there was no label attached to them yet. They also had kissed, but not as boyfriend and girlfriend. None of them had mentioned the word ‘love’.
There was only the fact that they were obviously into each other and were planning to spend so much time together for the next few weeks.
So, it only made sense if Vega was thinking of when they should start putting a label on their relationship.
So.. was this their first real date?
Mischa put down his cup and moved his body close to Vega. His right hand touched her cheek and his left hand took her hand.
He looked at her with a happy glint in his eyes. “Yes, this is our first real date. I’ll always remember June 26.”
Vega giggled and nodded sheepishly.
Ahh.. Mischa understood what she meant!
Vega was so excited when she heard his words.
So… they were now officially dating? How nice!
Yes, yes.. she would celebrate their anniversary on June 26, then. This was perfect!
Mischa noticed her excitement and his smile grew wider. He was enamored by Vega’s innocence and excitement. She was so happy all the time, and her positivity rubbed off on him.
Every time he looked at her, he felt such happiness and feeling of content. He could just spend all his life with her, sitting leisurely on the beach and talked sweet nothing, and felt happy.
Mischa looked at Vega with a broad smile and rubbed her cheek lovingly. “Yes, this is our first of many, many, many dates. I am so happy that you are willing to go out with me and spend time together. I love being around you, and I want to do this with you every day…. forever… If you don’t mind.”
Vega held her breath when she heard him. Her heart was filled with love to the brim. She was still shy, since their relationship was very, very new, but she was happy that he finally made it official.
“I’d like that…” she whispered. “I too… love being around you… and I want to be with you… forever.”
“You make me so happy today,” Mischa whispered back. “All right… should we call June 26 as our anniversary date in the future?”
Vega nodded. “Yes.”
Vega and Mischa locked eyes and both were smiling like two fools. He felt so lucky that this beautiful woman was now his, and she felt lucky that her first love was now hers.
And he said this was their first of many, many, many dates…
Ahhh.. she couldn’t wait!
Vega was so happy, that she took the initiative to kiss him.
She tilted her face and claimed his lips. Ah, It felt so sweet.
Mischa was pleasantly surprised to see Vega took the initiative. He lowered his hand to rub her back and he returned her kiss eagerly.
They kissed passionately as the sun was slowly setting in the background. It was such a beautiful view, but none of them cared about it at this point.
In his mind, there was only Vega, and in her mind, there was only Mischa.
