Chapter 24 (part 1)

Something about you now

That I can't quite figure out

Everything she does is beautiful

Everything she does is right

"I love you." Aius whispered to me. The music is still playing. "And I love you too."

Aius looked at me happily and lovingly, then he held out his hand to me.

"May I have this dance?" he asked kindly.

I had no hesitation in accepting his offer. There is no place for the thrill and pity I feel at these times.

The feeling is too overwhelming.

In slow motion we began to dance. And the whole moment that we are dancing, all we do is to stare at each others eyes. We seem to be talking with our eyes.

The moment is so perfect, and too good to be true. I thought it was only in my dreams that I would experience this, but it wasn't. I never thought I would experience this with Aius.

Her sweet.

This is the first time someone has made an effort for me. I used to always make an effort. But now I am the one who is given the effort.

I have never experienced dating Jared in a very romantic way, we just ate out, mall, movie, and movie marathon at his house. I thought the things Jared and I were doing back then were the happiest and sweetest events of my life, but it turns out that it isn’t.

Because it was Aius. It was Aius who made me feel and experience events that I could only imagine.

Everything about Aius I just felt. The fun, the love and the certainty.

Aius and I kept dancing. My previous hunger was gone.

If earlier my stomach was churning and it was going crazy with hunger. Now it's not, it's been replaced by some gesture, and the butterflies are flying in my stomach.

"You're beautiful, everything you wear, you do are beautiful, baby." Aius said softly to me.

I giggled at what he just said. I kissed him on his cheek and hugged him tighter.

"Even if I don't take a bath? Even if I stink? Even if my hair is messy? And even if I have bad breath, I'm still beautiful to you?" like a child I softly question him.

"Even if you stink, don't have a bath, and even if you have bad breath. You're still beautiful in my eyes, Baby. I told you, everything you do is beautiful." after he said that he kissed my forehead and hugged me even closer to him.

We danced for a while to the accompaniment of slow music.

Cause it's you and me

And all of the people with nothing to do

Nothing to lose

And it's you and me and all of the people

And I don't know why

I can't keep my eyes off of you and me

And all the other people with nothing to do

Nothing to prove

And it's you and me and all the other people

And I don't know why

I can't keep my eyes off of you

"Baby, I can't keep my eyes off of you ~" Aius sang that. I just smiled the whole time.

I love this man so much. More than anyone.

I just stared at him.

And the next thing I knew ... he's now kneeling in front of me, while holding both of my hands.

My eyes started to water again at yhe sight of him. "A-aius ..." I told him weakly and emotionally.

"Baby, can you be my ... girlfriend?" Aius said softly as he knelt in front of me and stared into my eyes.

Tears welled up in my eyes when he said that. Without hesitation I nodded while crying.

"Yes, yes, yes, baby. I can be your girlfriend." I told him in tears.

"Yes! Finally! I LOVE YOU SOOO MUCH, BABY!" Aius said happily to me and then hugged me tightly.

"Ah!" I was a little stunned when suddenly I could feel my slight lift off the ground. "I'm sorry." Aius laughed at me, how come he suddenly lifted me off the floor out of joy!

What day is it

And in what month?

This clock never seemed so alive

Aius and I hugged while dancing until the song ended, then we sat down at the prepared table.

The place is so romantic. A candle table for two. A dancing lights in a slow tempo, with slow music. Just the romantic of the whole place.

"Flowers for you, baby." before we sat down Aius handed me a bouquet. It's a bouquet of white roses.

"Thank you. Didn't expect that you're this sweet, huh?" I pretended to ask him an annoying question, but in reality I was thrilled.

"Well, expect more. Starting tonight." he said with a wink.

"Well, expect more. Starting tonight." he said with a wink.

I laughed at what he did, then I almost sank into embarrassment because my stomach growled!

"A-ah ... hehe." I replied shyly and then bowed my head.

"Oh, you're hungry. I'm sorry, baby. Did I make you hungry? Hmm?" he said angrily to me while still laughing. I became even more embarrassed and blushed! "Yah! Don't laugh, it's your fault so! You didn't let me eat earlier ..." page after page I said.

"Oh, that? I'm sorry. Let's eat now. Maybe the snake in your stomach will go away." he says. I just smirked at him and acted sullen.

But I also stopped acting immediately when I saw him cut me a stake on the plate and take care of everything I ate.

While we were eating we were just talking. And when we finished eating, she made me dance again.

Same music.

But this time, we dance as a couple. This time he is not my suitor anymore. Because this time, right at this moment, he is my boyfriend and I am he's girlfriend.

What day is it

And in what month?

This clock never seemed so alive

I can't keep up, and I can't back down

I've been losing so much time

'Cause it's you and me

And all of the people with nothing to do

Nothing to lose

And it's you and me

And all the other people

And I don't know why

I can't keep my eyes off of you

Why are the things that I want to say

Just aren't coming out right?

I'm tripping on words

You got my head spinning

I don't know where to go from here

'Cause it's you and me

And all of the people people with nothing to do

Nothing to prove

And it's you and me

And all other people

And I don't know why

I can't keep my eyes off of you

Something about you now

That I can't quite figure out

Everything she does is beautiful

Everything she does is right

'Cause it's you and me

And all of the people with nothing to do

Nothing to lose

And it's you and me and all of the people

And I don't know why

I can't keep my eyes off of you and me

And all the other people with nothing to do

Nothing to prove

And it's you and me and all the other people

And I don't know why

I can't keep my eyes off of you

We just dance the whole duration of the song, no one speaks to us and we just stare. Occasionally our lips touch for a kiss.

I am savoring this moment. It's sweet and unforgettable.

"What day is it, And in what month? This clock never seemed so alive" Aius sang in my ear the last three lines of the song. After that he was applying a cold object to my nape.

"Baby, this necklace is the symbol of my first day and night being your boyfriend." he said that as he put the necklace on me.

When he finally put the necklace on me he immediately lowered his face to mine, and then he gently, softly, and lovingly applied the lip to my lips, to which I responded wholeheartedly.

My tears immediately fell on the various emotions I felt as our lips met.

“What day is it

And in what month?

This clock never seemed so alive "he repeated the last lines of the song again as he wiped my tears with his thumb. This time staring flames into my eyes as if waiting for me to answer him.

I looked at him emotionally, and then I smiled before answering.

"Day 11 of the month of September, I became to be your girlfriend and you became my boyfriend, Officially. Not just on TV and not just in the eyes of our fans and supporters, but in our hearts, minds, and soul." I said that to him in my softest voice.

"I love you so, so, so much, Sariel. Stay with me, forever ..." Aius whispered softly to me.

"I love you more, baby. Stay with me forever too. Please don't hurt me, okay?"

"I won't baby ..."

To be continued...
