Amelia’s POV
His confession made my eyes go wide. Did he really mean what he say? I was just looking at him all this while. Just staring at him
“Say something please.” he looked at me pleadingly. I just stared at him in disbelief. I didn’t know what to say.
“I know you would be mad for asking you in marriage, but I didn’t know what else to do. I can’t marry your sister when I am in love with you. That is why I asked your parents in hand marriage of you instead of your sister.”
“But then I realised that you were scared of me. I know when we first met I told you some mean things but that was because, I was scared of falling for you. But when I realised that I had already fallen it was too late. I did everything I could so that you wouldn’t be afraid of me.”
I was blank. He did so much for me. I had all this while thought wrong about him. I was such an idiot. Without saying I hugged. I kept saying sorry, not knowing what else to say.
“I’m so sorry. I didn’t know any of this. I’m so sorry…” I just kept saying I’m so sorry. “Hey, its ok. Its not your fault. I was the idiot and tried to push you away.”
I laughed at what he said. We stayed there for a few minutes and didn’t say a word. “So, does this mean you are not scared of me anymore?’ he asked like a small child.
I smiled. “Nope.” I said as I smiled up at him. He rubbed the back of his neck, wanting to say something. “Erm I want to say something to. But promise me you won’t get angry or anything.” he asked me.
“What is it?” I asked him. “Promise me first.” he looked like a small child right now. “Alright I promise.” I assured him.
“Well I kinda kidnapped your friend today.” he say as he nervously laughed. “What!” I asked shocked. “Ok. Its not really kidnapped. I borrowed him for awhile. He is back at his home safe and sound.” he defended.
“But why?” I asked questioningly. “Well I wanted to know what are your dislikes and likes. So I brought in your friend and he told me everything. That is why he didn’t come to school today. I didn’t want to lie to you so that is why I am telling you this.”
I wasn’t mad at all. I was astonished. “Do you forgive me?” he asked me. I act as if I was thinking. “Let me think. Nope.” when I said this his face fell. I laughed. “Unless you get me an ice cream” when I said this, he smiled and hugged me so tight I was not getting oxygen anymore.
“Thank you so much.” he said as he set me down. We sat down and talked for sometime about random things.
He was really a fun and nice man. I was the one who judged the book without reading. At one point I told him a joke where Ash and I did something foolish and he started to laugh so hard.
When he was laughing, I realised he had dimples. When I saw his dimples, I didn’t know what came over him, but my hands immediately went out and poked his dimples.
When I realise what I did, I froze. He turn to look at me and gave me a smirk. “Why did you just do that?” he asked me cunningly. I just chuckled like a mad girl.
He just started laughing again. Soon I started to get sleepy. “We should go and sleep.” he said when I started to get sleepy.
I head off of to my room and said good night for the last time tonight to Damien. As I lie in my bed and think about everything that happen tonight, I was overwhelmed. I feel like everything that happen tonight was just a dream.
But I know is not. Everything that happen today was true. I was so embarrassed of how I was behaving all these days. How oblivious I have been all this days. He has been in love with me all these days, and I didn’t know about it.
If I have known about it, I wouldn’t have treated him the way I did. But now that I know that he loves me, I don’t know what I feel towards him. What should I feel?
Do I love him? I don’t know. Do I like him? Maybe. Am I still scared of him? Nope. I guess I have to let time decide for me.
All this thinking made me exhausted that I went to sleep without realising myself.
The next morning I woke up earlier. I had a smile on. I know from today onwards will be different. I quickly got ready and went down.
I saw Mary making breakfast. “Good morning Mary!” I said cheerily. She turns towards me and smiled sweetly at me. “Good morning Ms Cheery. Did something happen?” she asked questioningly.
“No. Nothing happen. Nada” I said quickly. She gave me a suspicious look before going back to making breakfast. “Good morning Mary” I heard a deep voice.
I knew it was him. “Good morning Dear. Take a sit. I’ll get breakfast for y’all.” she said as she turn back and look.
Soon I felt him sit beside him. I didn’t dare turn. I was too shy. I felt him coming closer to me. “Good morning Amelia” he said in a husky voice that, I felt butterflies in my stomach.
“G-Good morning.” I said still facing down. He took my face and made me look at him. He rubbed my red cheeks with his thumb which only resulted it becoming more redder.
“Don’t hide your face from me, love.” he said barely in a whisper. “Ok” I whispered back. “Good.” he said back with a smile. He kept looking into my eyes. I found myself getting lost in his blue eyes.
Suddenly someone cleared their throat which made me jump from my sit. I got embarrassed. Mary just laughed it off. Damien and I ate our breakfast together.
Once we were done I was about to go when he stopped me. “Amelia wait.” he called me. I turn to face him.
“I’ll drop you off.” he said with a smile I couldn’t resist. “Ok.” he gave me cheeky smile and we walked to his car. He open the car door and I got in as he jogged to driver’s car.
We soon hit the road. “So, tell me more about your school?” he asked me. Where do I start? “Well, I’m a senior. I will be finishing high school end of this year. I am also waiting for my competition which will be taking a place in 2 months time.” I said finish.
“A competition? What competition?” he asked in surprise. “A dance competition.” I simply said.
“Oh you are a dancer I see. That’s interesting. ” he said and I sensed proudness in his voice. I simply smiled.
After some time, we reached. I waved goodbye and went inside. He dropped me off outside the school, as I still wasn’t alright with people knowing I’m his wife. I didn’t want to become the talk of the school.
At least not now. I smiled and walked to my locker and saw Ash waiting for me at my locker. As he saw me smiling like a crazy woman he gave me suspicious look.
I ignored him and start taking my books out. As I turn around, I was still smiling. “Ok spill. Why are you smiling like that?”
“Nothing.” I just shrugged. “Tell me the truth lady.” he insisted.
“Nope”
“Tell”
“Nope”
“Tell”
“Nope”
“Tell”
“Nope”
“TELL. ME. NOW.”
He said fustrated. I laugh at his reaction. “Ok fine.” so thats how I him everthing that happen yesterday. When I was finished, his mouth was wide open.
I couldnt help it but laugh uncontrollably. He just glared at me when I was laughing. After few minutes I sobered up.
“So that’s why he ‘kidnapped’ me yesterday.” he said with a thinking face. “He didn’t kidnapped you technically.” I said while rolling my eyes.
“Yeah whatever.” he waved me off. Soon the bell rang and that’s how I started my day. The day went by fast. And soon here I was waiting for Damien to pull up.
