Chapter 72: Chapter 71- Confession

"But why am I the bad guy if, as your boyfriend, I am just asking you to pay a little less attention to your friends, and more to me?" Luke couldn't help but ask with a frown.

The other person's face was hazy, but he knew she was his girlfriend...someone who had been tormenting him with her behavior for quite some time now.

"Listen, Luke, we are dating, so let's not interfere with each other's personal life. I never told you to not hang out with your friends, but-"

"Hang out? Really, Nia? You were sleeping over at your friend's place who is a guy and had confessed to you in the past. Don't you find anything....not a single thing weird here?"

The other responded aggressively, "There were other people as well! And not just because we slept under the same roof, we had sex!"

"..." Luke lost it. He couldn't understand what was the problem. He has already faced seven breakups by now, and all seven times, he got dumped because of absurd reasons.

Either the girl said 'You deserved better' or 'You expect too much'. He never expected anything from anyone.

He just desired a normal relationship where his partner remained loyal to him...and on whom Luke could actually rely at times. Naturally, he never cheated on any of his girlfriends, since he never was a hypocrite.

For the first time, he believed that his partner might be at fault. And that belief continued until a couple of more times since his friends also said that he didn't do anything bad.

But ..with time and with each breakup, he started to feel.

'Is it that....that actually there is something wrong with me?'

....

"Ah..." Austin woke up from his slumber, his head feeling a little heavy.

He didn't know why but he was having a dream of his ex-girlfriend.

"Are you okay?"

Austin was startled to hear that voice, as he hurriedly turned to his left and found a familiar pair of eyes looking back at him with concern filled in them.@@@@

"Val..." He didn't know why, but seeing her right now so unexpectedly filled his heart with inexplicable warmth.

"Huh?" Shocked, she got up and advanced towards the window, only to find Austin leaping back up, "Ehhh? How are you so fast? And why did you suddenly jump out?"

Austin smiled at the girl before stepping inside.

Standing face to face with the love of his life, he first knelt on the ground, his left knee firmly pressed on the ground.

"Curse me or slap me, I will accept it all, for the crime I have committed." Lifting the flower he brought from the garden, he continued,

"Although I am late, I want to tell you my feelings, Valerie." He was...strangely feeling quite nervous, but not even God could stop him from continuing at the moment,

"I have gone through several life experiences and met several people. However, only a single person gave me the feeling that without her ...I wouldn't be able to live. That person who has been with me during my hard times and helped me become a man who I am right now. My happiness, and the reason why I have started to love each day of my life."

Valerie's eyes turned moist as she remained rooted at her spot, etching each of his words in the deepest spot of her mind so she couldn't forget about them until her last breath.

Austin locked his eyes with hers before adding, "I, Austin Eryndor, is head over heels for you, Valerie. And I promise to keep you happy for the rest of your life."

Valerie covered her mouth, barely holding a sob. She so wanted to hear those words from him... Finally, today, the man to whom she has devoted her life was confessing his feelings as well.

Rather than answering him, she knelt before her Lord, and to his utmost surprise, Valerie kissed him.

"....!!" Austin's eyes widened as he felt her warm and fluffy lips pressing against his.

It was nothing passionate, just a light peck, but that light connection was enough to blow all his senses.

Valerie broke the kiss soon after, before she looked at him with a broad smile, and said,

"Please take care of me."
