As much as Blaise enjoyed being with Daphne every chance that they had with each other, he wanted more. Time always seemed so be so little between them, yearning for more every single day. If he had a chance to return to the past and redo everything, he would have make the beautiful woman his a long time ago. They never had a chance to explore being a couple. As much as Blaise feared that he might hurt her in someway, never forgive himself it came to such an end, but a part of him believed that it wouldn't have that outcome. Everytime he had the chance to enjoy being around his best friend, the more he realized that what he had been feeling was indeed love. Such a feeling had been weird, masking itself in something completely different. It was a mystery to him of the reason behind the delay in realization. Sometimes, he felt the urge to kick himself in the pants. Blaise had let the perfect woman slip through his fingers, even more that she honestly belonged to him throughout th years of Hogwarts.
He was a dolt sometimes. His mum would have thought the same as well, if she was still among the living.
"I do enjoy telling you every chance that I get, darling. It's hard to resist speaking such words, so they come out more often than not," he responded with a smirk of his own, placing a kiss upon Daphne's fingers as they pressed against his own lips. Oh, how she made him yearn for more. Remembering the important business that must been accomplished on that day, he resisted the urge to pull her against his body, giving in to his desires. It was diffcult to make such thought subside, but taking in a deep breath and allowing a few seconds later things felt more at ease.
As the conversation turned into the reason behind their meeting upon that day, Blaise knew that he couldn't hide it much longer. It did feel good to withhold such a brilliant idea from Daphne for a short while, dangling it in front of her for a short while. "That it does," he replied with a short nod, wathching Daphne's movements before him. A hand slipped in the space between her forearm and body, placing it on the small of her back and slowly bringing her close to his body. As the gift layed perfectly still within the other, he couldn't help but smirk almost greedly at the closeness that they had been sharing so easily. What he would give to act such a way again in front of her pathetic, useless husband. The look on Nikolas face was something that Blaise would call priceless. Allowing his fingers to trail down her back slowly, he tilted his head and gazed within the beautiful eyes before him. "What are your thoughts on casinos, love?" Even though he asked her opinion on the subject that he planned on pursing now that he no longer played for any quidditch team, Blaise hoped that she thought that they were at least interesting in a good way.
Glancing at the gift within his posession, Blaise had the thought on wearing them on their outting. There was only one problem with doing just that. "I'd wear the cuff links today, however, I don't think they quite match this suit. I can change in something else if you'd like? You'd have to watch though," he added with a grin. No one could blame the bloke for pulling such a line of the sort. Even though there had been plenty of time for them to have such an intimate moment.
