AUBREE’S POV
“Its okay Bree. I understand. I will just be here waiting for you.”
He was about to turn around but I immediately hugged him.
I felt his pain.
I want to assure him and I hug him tight.
We just kept hugging. No one breaks or speaks.
“I love you.” I said softly.
I know it’s not time yet but I can’t to say it.
He hug me tight and kiss my forehead.
“I love you more Bree. You just don’t know how happy I am.” He said softly.
We let go of the hug and slowly kissed.
It was sweet and full of love.
We are both smiling from ear to ear.
“When will you tell him?” He asked.
I frowned before I got his point.
I sighed. I guess I need to do this. I already confessed to Gavin and its unfair to both of them if I will lead them on.
“Tomorrow.” I told him.
He held my hand so tight.
“Will you be alright?” I can see the concerned in his eyes.
I smile at him.
“Of course.” I assure him.

I’m feeling nervous right now. Its almost time for Seb to arrived.
I am not sure if I’m nervous because I will meet Mrs. Dela Rama or because today I will confessed everything to Seb.
I took a deep breath.
‘You can do it Bree!’ I said to myself.
After a few minutes the doorbell rang, a sign that Seb was here.
I stood up and opened the door for him.
I could see how happy he is right now, that made me feel heavier because I know that I will hurt him after my confession.
Oh Seb! I don’t want to hurt you but I hope you will understand.
“Are you alright?” He asked me a bit worried.
“I-im just n-nervous.” I said stammering.
He chuckled. “Just relax babe. Everything is alright now. Mom already gave her approval.” He said to assure me.
‘Her approval is too late!’ I said to myself.
Why did she only gave her approval now?! I hope she gave it earlier when the person who owns my heart is still Seb. Now its too late. I have fallen with someone else.
“Let’s go?” He asked.
I nodded at him and followed.
I almost find it hard to breathe the whole trip.
“We are here.” He announced.
He held my hand and kissed it. “Don’t be nervous babe. I’m here.”
I just gave him a forced smile.
When we entered the Dela Rama’s mansion, it brings back my memories when we were in college, when Sev introduced me to his parents.
The mansion didn’t changed a bit. Except for the furnitures, it became more modern but the place still look elegant.
Later we heard some footsteps. I was suddenly got nervous. I will meet my boyfriend’s mother again, who told me nothing but pure insults.
“Mom, Dad I’m here with Aubree.” He said to them.
I saw his father’s warm smile.
His father never showed me anything bad so I could not help but return the smile that his father gave me.
I was surprised when Seb’s mother suddenly came over and kissed me.
I can see the smile on the father and son.
“I know that I shocked you. Who wouldn’t right? But let us take our dinner first.” Smiling she said.
I can’t believe that this is happening. It seems like a dream.
I could almost feel my tears were about come out.
How I longed for this moment … for her acceptance.
“Let’s go babe.” Seb said softly.
“I’m not dreaming right?” I said in disbelief.
“No you don’t. Finally babe, finally.” He happily said.
I touched his cheek.
I can see the joy in his eyes.
Like me he was in tears too. We have been dreaming of this for a long time.
Oh Lord, I can’t break his heart. Not now.
