you had been dating Cedric for several years now, and had learned to see beyond his frosty demeanor to the kind and caring man beneath.

despite his success and wealth, Cedric had a soft spot for you and was devoted to you fully.

On this particular day, Cedric had sent to you a mysterious text message.

you was relaxing in bed when your phone alerted you to a new message. you picked up your phone and unlocked it, your curiosity piqued...

"Choose 1-20," the text read, with a winking emoji. you frowned in confusion

you quickly typed out your reply, feeling curious and intrigued.

"18," you replied, hoping your guess was correct.

you waited impatiently for Cedric's response, your heart racing with anticipation.

"18 rounds then," Cedric's text read, with a teasing tone. your heart skipped a beat as you read those words

"I'm already on my way home now...can't wait to spend the night with you," Cedric added, ending the text with a heart emoji.
