He walked toward me and kissed my cheek. "You're so pretty, babe. I have a present for you. Close your eyes."
"But I want to see you take it out."
Colin kissed between my eyes and coaxed, "Be a good girl and close your eyes."
I couldn't say no to his cajoling. He smelled so good too. I snuggled in his embrace and closed my eyes obediently. I felt something touching my ears. When I opened my eyes, I found myself wearing a pair of brand-new earrings.
Pearls dangled from them. Be it the color or the texture, they looked so good with my dress. I had just thought that matching earrings would look good on me after I put on the dress.
And somehow, Colin could read my mind. He had already bought the matching earrings. I didn't even know when or how he got them for me. Urgh, I was so lucky. So many people pampered me, including Colin and my parents.
"Colin…" I croaked, a catch in my throat. My voice was as sweet as honey, and my eyes turned glossy. I was blushing.
He gave me a peck on my cheeks and eyes, the areas I had yet to apply makeup to. Then, tenderly, he uttered, "My little dummy, you're my girlfriend. We can read each other's minds. Of course, I know what you want."
"Huh? You can read my mind?" I asked gingerly, worried that he had read all the little thoughts I had about him.
