Bab 156: Meant to Be

—Raoul—

 She looked so serene while sleeping. I sighed feeling more happier than any day in my life. As time passes by, the more I want to be with her. She's now my pride. I kissed her lips which woke her up and she stretched her arms. She looked around and turned to me. 

"Hey," 

"How many days have I been staying with you?" 

"Two days now." I pulled her in my arms so she would lie over me. She hugged me and touched the birthmark on my chest. "I want to be with you always…" I suddenly said after a long silence. 

 It's four in the morning and it's raining heavily outside. I just want to stay with her. 

"Iris," I called. She was busy checking the birthmark on my chest. 

"Hmm?"

"I love you." 

 She froze from what I said and sat up. This is what I'm afraid of. I held her tightly and sat up. 

"Iris," I scooped her face but she pushed me away.
