Felix stepped into the quiet apartment, feeling the itch of impatience for not seeing her immediately. His hand was already on the doorknob, ready to exit as swiftly as he had entered when her voice floated from the bedroom.
"Felix, come to the bedroom."
He ambled towards the room, finding her perched on the edge of the bed, clad in something that could only be described as risqué.
Carol stood and twirled. "Well, what do you think? Sexy, isn't it?"
Straightforward as ever, Carol never played coy. They had been dating for three months, and she wore her heart on her sleeve, never hiding her likes or dislikes.
This was her first time donning such provocative attire, and she was eager to gauge Felix's reaction.
Felix, lingering by the doorway, felt his pupils constrict ever so slightly as his gaze settled on her. The room's brightest light was off, the subtle glow from the bedside lamp casting an intimate ambiance.
Carol sauntered over, wrapping her arms around his neck. "You haven't said a word. Do you like it?"
His hands reflexively found her waist. "Gorgeous."
"Really?" Carol's hand began to wander south to test his reaction, but Felix caught her wrist and pulled her into a deep kiss.
A surge of sweetness filled Carol's heart, and she drew her hand back. The night unfolded as it often did, with passion and intimacy that lasted till the dawn.
But Felix always insisted on a blindfold or for her to face away from him, a detail that didn't bother her much—though sometimes she longed to see his face, to decipher the emotions he hid so well during their most vulnerable moments.
Over the next month, Felix was exceptionally attentive. He picked her up from work every day on time, cooked and cleaned whenever he was at her apartment. Life felt like a cozy domestic bliss until Ian returned from abroad.
Carol had intended to visit Maja, but she couldn't bear to cut short her precious moments with Felix, whose free time was a rare commodity. When Carol finally caught up with Maja, after she had taken over the refurbishing of Greenfield Gardens, she couldn't help but marvel at the situation.

Why are there no updates yet, Author. We've all been waitibg for quite a while now. Please, update soon, Author. Thanks....
Author, my thoughts on the book. When are You going to write on Cornelia and Omar Casson's romance? You made no mention, describing in detail how Maja and Uan's white wedding ceremony went. Also, you didn't write on Carol's baby delivery. What about Tyler's romance. Is there closure on Phelps Herrington being truly certified dead, so also his twin brother? Dylan's research institute "little girl", what became of her and Dylan's romance? Beck's blind dates, what were the results, is he married now, so also Dylan to his "little girl"? Why hasn't Ian's father- Steven come forward to meet Maja's parents as the in-laws meeting each other especially with his supposed past with Lillian; Maja's mother. I hope I won't remain curious for too long on the aforementioned issues, Author. Thanks for doing a good job on Zoey and Fitch's romance, though. Kudos....
