Taking her hand in his, Owen said."How about we create a sign between us, So I can know you are comfortable or not in anything we do."

"A sign?" Katherine asked confused.

​​

"Yes, So if want to tell me something but you don't want to say it, It will be easy, I will use it to tell how I feel at a certain moment." Owen replied explaining.

"Okay." She replied loving the idea.

"It will be like that, If you I did something that you are not comfortable with, Hold my hand tightly just like that." He paused holding her hand tightly showing her how to do it.

"And if you are comfortable with it interlink our hands together like this." He said explaining as he interlinked their hands together.

"So, What do you?" He asked letting go of her hand.

Katherine smiled feeling many emotions at the moment, Owen is so sweet to the point that sometimes feels like she is dreaming.

"It's easy." She replied still smiling.

"Let's try to test it and see, Okay?" Owen suggested waiting for her to give him permission.

Nodding her head, Katherine tried to find his hand and she did, She held it waiting for him to begin.

Owen reached his hand to touch her hair running his fingers through it before he moved to the cup the side of her face and he watched her lips part when she felt his thumb brushing over her lower lip moving it back and forth feeling the softness of it.

He watched closely her reaction to look for any kind of discomfort but he saw nothing, Only her breathing that somehow quickened as he continued to brush her lips over the lower lip.

Katherine too wanted to touch him but she was too shy to ask or act upon her feelings, So this time she let him take the first step hoping that the next time she will be the one to do take it.

She noticed that Owen stopped touching her and she interlinked her hand with his to express her feelings about what he just did and it made him smile.

Never in his life, he felt the desire to protect something in his life this much as he wanted to protect Katherine, From he laid his eyes on her at the company he couldn't stop thinking about her.

Owen is still feeling guilty about how he treated her the first he saw her, It's something that is he always thinking about when he is with her, Though he had apologized many times to her and she assured him that she had accepted his apology but he couldn't forget it.

"See, I told you that it is going to be easy." Owen said as he pressed his lips on her forehead before he pulled away.

Katherine felt him cup the side of her face and she leaned into his touch.

"I want to get to know you more Katherine, I promise that I will take care of you, so will you be my girlfriend." He asked and saw her part her lips in surprise.

To be honest, She had been waiting for him to ask her that for a while now and that it happened she was very happy.

Owen is the first man in her life, Yes their first encounter wasn't perfect but he later proved that he is very sweet and caring, She started to wait for his visit every day at the lunch break feeling very happy in his presence.

"Yes." She replied feeling her heart started to beat faster in her chest.

Owen sighed a sigh of relief knowing that she shares the same feeling as him, Today couldn't be any more perfect than this, He had brought her to his house and asked her suddenly to be his girlfriend and she said yes, Now what was missing on the list is making her his wife and start their own family.

"We should celebrate." Owen said as he kissed the back of her hand and watched how she blushed to feel happy too.

Taking his phone out of his pocket, He ordered the food for them and dessert for them to celebrate.

Pulling her close to him, He closed his eyes and said."You made me very happy today Katherine, Thank you for trusting me."

"Are you sure about this? I mean being with someone like me, it takes effort and time and I might not be the perfect girlfriend, I lack many things you have seen in other girls." Katherine asked pulling away from his arms tugging her hair behind her ear nervously.

Owen understood her fears and it is normal.

"I don't care about you being perfect, I like you the way you are, Katherine, Let's not worry about anything and take everything one step at a time, Okay?" Owen said cupping her face in his hands.

Thinking about his words, Katherine decided to do as he said and take things slowly, one step at a time.

"I'm very nervous and haven't we been laying down for a long time." Katherine said as she sat up on the bed.

Owen chuckled seeing the worked up girl beside him, He got off the bed and walked towards her side, and helped her to get off the bed as they walk out of the bedroom.

Twenty minutes later.

The food arrived, Owen placed the food on the table and brought Katherine to sit on the chair so they can start to eat.

"You need to help me with placing my hand near the dishes." Katherine said feeling embarrassed that she was asking for his help as when they just started their relationship.

"That's very easy, Here are they." Owen said placing her hand near the dishes.

Owen started to eat but then he stopped he noticed that she wasn't eating.

stupid Owen! He scolded himself.

She must feel embarrassed because of her condition.

"Is it okay if help you to eat? Just until you feel comfortable coming here." Owen said trying to be careful with his words and not to hurt her feelings.
