Fernando's POV Cont'd

Micaela turnaround and ran back upstairs. "Micaela I'm sorry!" Sabrina yells after her feeling guilty for hurting her friend but Micaela was already gone. Sabrina turnaround and glared at me. "Are you happy now? You just caused a fight between my friend and I just because I have a big mouth and don't know when to shut it!"

"I'm glad you've finally admit that you're so nosy" I scoffed hiding my smiles and she glared daggers at me.

"You'll never stop being a jerk! I should have never told you anything, you didn't worth it!" she hissed with venom in her voice and stormed out of my sight to go after her friend.

"No need to go after her, she wouldn't listen to you. Let me talk to her first" I called after her and she halted halfway on the stairs..

"And you think she'll listen to you?" She asks and I nodded.

"If she ever loved me like you said then she has no other choice than to give me a chance to tell her-" I paused and she raised a brow at me.

"Tell her what?"

"She needs to hear it first before you do, nosy" I replied and she rolled her eyes at me.

"Whatever! Just make sure you fixed up the mess you've made" she said and left to her room.

"Don't forget to thank me later, nosy!" I yelled after her and I heard her slams the door in response. I couldn't help but smile at her attitude towards me. Although she might be annoying sometimes but she just won a ticket of being my friend. She just told me something that is going to change my life if it happens to be true after I confirm that from Micaela.

Am I really ready to confirm if Micaela really did love me? What would I say to her to get her say it to my face? What if she's too angry to even talk to me? I took a deep breath and releases it and I rubbed my sweaty palms.

"If you don't find her in her room you should check the rooftop!" Sabrina's voice startled me from behind and I glanced back to see her standing a distance away from me. "You can thank me later!" she added and smirks at me then she disappeared back to her room.

I chuckled in amusement on how troublesome and cool she could be at the same time. I made my way upstairs to Micaela's room, it was the only room situated upstairs. I knocked on the door twice and got no response and then I knocked for the last time. I didn't hear a sound come from the room and I took that to be she wasn't in there. It wasn't hard for me to find the stairs that led to the rooftop because the structure of this house was similar to mine.

When I got to the rooftop I saw her standing there dressed in her black sweatshirt and blue bumshort. The view from the rooftop was a sight to behold, it reveals the beauty of the city of Seoul at night. The lights, the road, buildings and the Koreans can be sighted right from here. The cold breeze hits my skin and it rises my nervousness as I walked up to hair. Her hair kept flouncing from left to right and it excites me to watch her this way.

"What a perfect view!" I commended and she jolted and held her chest.

"Jeez! You scared me to death!" she half-yells and I smiled.

"Sorry about that. I see you were carried away with the view, perhaps I should buy this house from you so I can have a view like this or we could live here together instead" I said jokingly but deep down my joke is a hidden truth.

She grins and shook her head. "Sorry, this house is not for sale, try the next building or contact your real estate agent" she replied teasingly and we both laughed.

I'm glad she still find some sense of humor despite what she must have heard in there. "But seriously, Seoul is beautiful especially at night. You choose to live in the right place".

"Thank you" she smiled and I nodded.

We both stood there in awkward silence waiting for who to speak first and that made my nervousness to get the best of me. I squint at her and she also squint at me. I think is time for me to say what's on my mind, enough with the silence.

"I...." We both said in unison and we raised a brow at each other and laugh it off. "You should go first" I gestured her and she shook her head.

"No, you should go first, please" she replied and I nod without arguing who should start the conversation first.

"I know you're angry at your friend because of what she told me. On her behalf I'm pleading for you not to pick offense from whatever she must have said, she's not to blame but myself. She was only answering what I was asking her. So, would you pardon her?"

She stared at me for a moment without a response. I guess she's trying to believe that I'm to blame for it and not her friend. "Just because you said it's your fault she said those things I'll forgive her but I'll still have to teach her how to stop being a busybody" she said and I snorted.

"Please do teach her, she needs to learn how to" I replied grinning widely and she smiled. "Now that we're done with that part, let's get to another-" I paused and took her hands and gazes down at our entwined hands. "Your hands are cold" I said feeling her cold palms to my warm hands.

"Ha! I guess it's the cold breeze out here" she defended glancing around. She was feeling shy to look me in the eyes again. This wasn't the first time she's been shy around me, all the times I've been with her last month I noticed the shyness in her. That was why I was surprised when she kissed me that day.

"I'm here to keep them warm" I said in almost a whisper and that got her snap her head up to gaze at me. Those beautiful brown eyes of hers that I'm beginning to love were staring at me with surprise. I smiled and continued, "I like when I catch you by surprise, there's this look you give me that gets me feeling something unusual. Micaela, you must have been wondering why I'm here, I wouldn't like to beat around the bush before I arrive to the point-" I paused and fixed my gaze on the city lights and busy road.

I needed to gather my nerves and thoughts before I proceed with what I have to say, and also the reply I'm expected to get from her is either going to affect me in a good or bad way which I don't know what it'll be.

I could feel her trembling hands that are entwined to mine, she was as nervous as I am. "You're getting me freaked out already" she said in a trembling voice and I returned my gaze on her.

"Don't be, it's not something to be freaked out about. I just want to know the truth about something. Although Sabrina must have said something about it but I want to hear it from you. That day you kissed me at my hotel room, did you kissed me because you are in love with me or it was just an empty kiss without no feelings attached to it?"

She opens her mouth to answer me but the words weren't coming out. Her silence to my question made me remember that is chilling out here and I was trembling. As I stared into her eyes, I became suddenly scared. I don't know what I was scared of but I was scared, I couldn't tell if it's getting an answer to my question that I'm scared of or the fact that it wasn't love that made her kiss me that day or...was I being scared to know that she no longer loves me if she did love me then? I don't think I know anything right now. All I need right now is an answer to my question to get over the way I'm feeling.
