fenris how wonderful to see you it has been too long “ he looked at alexander with such compassion “yes Boris it has indeed been to long how are you sorry about the short notice” and they shared a little wink. “it’s not a problem sir anything for you this must be your girlfriend you spoke of she is extremely beautiful sir “ yes she is indeed Boris but please refrain from gawking I get highly jealous” he laughed and smiled at me Boris then looked at me and smiled “ yes sir I wouldn't blame you for getting jealous in the slightest if I wasn't married to the most exquisite woman I wouldn't understand such a thing as jealousy but now I know the green eyed monster very well “ he took my hand and kissed my knuckles it is a pleasure to meet you Kristen and welcome to the bozkurtlar ” and I blushed in response “ thank you Boris it’s nice to meet you too. He returned his gaze to alexander “ sir what would you like to eat and drink this fine afternoon ” “ hmmmm well firstly we would like a bottle of the finest champagne were celebrating and then I think we will have two of your finest fillet steaks both medium rare with baby potatoes and asparagus with a hollandaise sauce please”. “I’ll be right back with your champagne sir” as he walked away alexander shouted to him “oh by the way Boris give my love to accalia I hope to see her again soon. “Of course sir she would love to see you again too someday soon we hope. He waved his hand in response as he walked down the steps and left me and alexander alone,” you seem to know him well”, “yes I know him very well he is very good friends with my father and my mother’s, I grew up around him and accalia and their two young children burtolf and faelan we were all such good friends I lost touch until a few years ago but hopefully we can all keep in touch again.
“what strange names they can’t be English “ I said in reply “ how very observant of you baby but again you are completely right they are in fact not English but Latin names except for Boris of course which is as British as they come” “ alexander are you mocking me” I said with a smirk across my face “oh baby would I ever” he replied “have you ever brought other women here for dinner” I asked not realising why I asked the question but I kind of knew I wanted to know “ yeah I have brought other women here my mother my sister and once I ever brought my mad aunty Esther here it was a nightmare she fell overboard through too much drink” I laughed at the vision I was having of his poor aunty” but now baby I bring my girlfriend here and that's the only woman I ever wanted to bring here”. I swooned at his words it was so romantic the scenery the boat the conversation it was perfect.
Boris returned 20 minutes later with a tray he placed down both plates before showing alexander the bottle you could still see the ice melting on the bottle “ I’ve kept this bottle reserved for a special time for you and I can’t think of a better time” alexander was beside himself with joy “ excellent choice Boris thank you so much” he turned the bottle to me and I was completely in shock it was a vintage from 1938 don perignon white gold I think the look on my face said it all “ is it to your liking Kristen” Boris said “ sorry Boris I was a little taken back this is a vintage didn't know they even existed now“ “oh yes Kristen we have quite a few it’s one of alexander’s favourites he always has this on special occasions so we had some exported years ago the yacht has quite an extensive winery maybe someday you will like to have a look around . he looked very pleased with himself it was touching “yes I would like that very much as long as you give me the guided tour yourself” he suddenly blushed crimson “it would be an honour Kristen” he gave us both a bow and looking at alexander he shook his hand again “ if that is all sir I will leave you too alone enjoy your meal and your champagne and I will come back later to collect your plates “ “ yes thanks again Boris we will be fine from here” Boris walked off back down the steps and again we were alone.
Alexander poured me a glass of champagne in a crystal flute then poured himself one he lifted his glass and I lifted mine and the two champagne flutes kissed in a toast “ here’s to us and many more splendid years together” “yes here’s to us” I replied whilst sipping on my champagne “ mmmmmm this tastes so good “ I took in the surroundings and the people walking past wishing it was them up here instead of us and I felt a certain buzz because it wasn't them it was me in this chair on this yacht I still couldn't believe it was I dreaming was this even real the ambience was so perfect and then I looked at alexander he looked so at ease on this yacht it was like a new alexander it was refreshing was I missing a small detail about him or was there much more to learn about him we sat eating our meal every now and then glancing up from the plate to look at each other with the odd mmm this is tasty that kind of thing we finished our meal and I took my napkin and wiped my mouth and I slowly looked up to see his eyes on me again “ ooo have I missed abit I laughed wiping my mouth again” “what’s wrong Kristen you look abit bewildered” his look was turning into one of concern “no nothing’s wrong baby I'm just surprised that's all nothing to look worried about “ “ surprised about what “ was his very quick reply “well it isn’t every day a girl gets brought the most expensive furniture for our home and then this a meal on a beautiful stunning yacht with the man I love, eating fillet steak and drinking vintage champagne” he put his knife and fork down and looked at me I could see the pain in his eyes “ I’ve done it haven’t I I’ve rushed to much in one day I knew this would happen “ I touched his arm “ alexander what’s wrong I wasn't saying anything bad about it I was trying to express how special you have made me feel in just one day I'm sorry I think you got the wires crossed I'm actually saying thanks “ he smiled as he heard the words coming out he sighed in relief “you have no idea how close I was to having a heart attack right there and then, I thought I had went too far it’s just I want to give you the world at your feet but then so much more too, do you understand up until now I got by on my own I never cared about things material or immaterial until I met you and now you give life so much more meaning.” He looked into my eyes but still so deep in thought” I placed my hand over his “I feel the same way about you too alexander until you came along I was just a shell of a woman you were the one who gave life a real meaning for me and you brought me out of my shell and gave me purpose but what exactly are you trying to tell me where is this conversation going. I got a little nervous “he put his hands under the table and pulled out a small cd player and pressed play and then he paused it and looked at me “ just listen Kristen I heard this song the other day and it made me kind of realise I'm doing exactly the same as I have been doing since day one I don't know what else to do apart from move us along with the times and bring you into the here and now he looked concerned at his actions and his words for that matter but I knew something had been a little off since this morning the passion we shared was still clear in my mind and it had been so different from the last time “ok I’ll listen” he pressed play I instantly heard the upbeat tune it was a club anthem and I love club tunes, so I sat attentively and listened. I instantly recognised the artist it was Armin van buuren but I couldn't think of the girl who was singing my body was suddenly on tender hooks my skin felt alive I had Goosebumps all over my body he was drowning in my love he wanted the waves to crash down and every time he takes me in his heart skips again and again I looked at him and his eyes were alive and filled with emotion and something else I couldn't quite put my finger on it the song came to an end and he pressed stop “did you like the song baby” “yes I did and I had no idea I really do all those things to you” I looked confused I ‘was sure of it “ oh you have no idea baby I once sat on the back step of my home where I grew up seeing my family as perfect as they were but knowing something was missing in my life then I spent the rest of my years looking for that thing I was missing and now here you are but there’s so many things in between I know someday I will have to tell you about that but I’ve been so wrapped up in loving you that nothing else seemed to matter but it does and things I’ve chose to keep back through fear of losing you” I was now totally panicking “ what do you mean lose me what’s wrong talk to me was all I could say before my eyes filled up I was dreading the worst “ shhh baby don't cry its nothing bad it’s just things I’ve kept back because I don't want them to come between our love do you like this boat” “ don't change the subject alexander yes I like this boat but we not on about the boat are we “ why the hell was he on about a boat to hell with the boat I was shivering through fear now, has he met someone else oh no I really couldn't take that “I asked you about the boat because it is mine” he finally said but he didn't look at me I was incomplete shock “this boat is yours since when ahhhh I don't understand where did you get the money to buy this you only own a restaurant help me understand” I looked at him quizzically “I do own a restaurant but I do also own others too and this boat I own too and my staff on this boat they work for me” ahhhh that's why you had such a rapport with the captain and Boris he wasn't just a family friend ok so why after a year are you telling me now” ”I asked Boris to be here today because after long conversations with myself
