CHAPTER 76

CHAPTER 76

"Please don't hurt me again." I said as he hugged me tighter.
I felt him shakes his head.

"I won't." He said, making a sniffing sound. Is he crying? I tried to move away again from him but he doesn't let me. He is too strong for me to resist him.

"Are you crying?" I asked with concern as I lean again on his chest. His heart is like music in my ears.

I felt him smiled as he rests his head on my head. "They're tears of joy." He replied. "I never thought you'll love me even I made mistakes and even if I did hurt you." He added, sighing as he put me at arm's length. When he looks in to my eyes, I saw everything. "Thank you." He said, directly looking at me.

I smiled. "I won't promise you that everything will be okay, that I won't hurt you again because there is no perfect relationship and that's what I learned from your parents and mine as well. I might days when I'll be grumpy that you'll feel like killing me or breaking up with me. The only thing I can give you that money can't buy is my feelings for you. It's the first time I ever love someone outside my family so please bare with me. Crizza, I thought I loved her in the past but when I found out that she's sleeping with a millionaire, that's when I realized that I don't care for her." Emerson said. "But you?..... when I landed my eyes on you in that café, I know, I know that something isn't right inside me. I know that someday, somehow, you'll be mine."

My eyes are trembling. It’s like tears will come flowing if he'll continue with his words.
I can't say anything. My mouth won't let me speak. I mean I was so distracted with his words. I am lost with his words.

"I know it's a lot to sink in but ......I love you and sorry for this." He said before he crashes his lips in to mine making my body shivers like it never did before. It wasn't like our first kiss, it's a unique feeling.

I have read a lot of books, love story to be specific and I always find it hard to believe the cloud nine effect that characters are saying. But I think, I'm starting to feel like I'm in that cloud now.

It feels so real.

Oh yes, it's really real. I thought to myself
The kiss felt like forever. I mean it's like nothing stands between us.


Emerson pov

When I put her at arms' length, her lips are like asking me to kiss it. It's talking to me and I can't take it any longer, I can't resist it. I didn't wait for her to respond on my I love you. I crashed my lips in her and felt that she stilled for a moment until she responds on my kiss.

Her lips are soft like a marshmallow. It’s sweet and fluffy. The kiss feels so foreign. It's new. When I held her head and take a hold of her hair in a very romantic way, she responded with her hands to touch my chest and went straight to my neck making her hug me. I'm really amazed on how it feels. Every touch she makes, it makes me complete. It's like I've been waiting for this to come.

The atmosphere became so heavy that when we parted our lips and I leaned my forehead on her head, making our eyes meets closely, we are both panting.

"That's....." She said before she swallows.

"Amazing?" I said, smiling to her.

"Yes." She whispered and I smiled.

"I will make it right this time." I said, smiling to her.

"Don't promise me anything." She said.

"I'm not promising anything. I'm just telling you my to-do list for the next months and years." I said.

Am I really saying this? It’s not me. I mean, yes, I think it’s me. She grins and nodded her head.

"How about we start from the beginning?" I suggested.

"Hmmm.. I think that's not necessary but..yeah sure." Love said, shrugging and smiled.

I move away from her and hold her at arm’s length. I look at her eyes and release her arms.

After she smiled again, I extended my hand to her. "Hi, I'm Emerson Triumph, 29 years old. Owner and CEO of Triumph's corporation. I am handsome, nice and..." I said, making sure to smirk.

"And cocky." Love suddenly said, teasing me and gave me chuckles.
"Yes. I know that, thank you. I'll take that as a compliment" I said as she extends her arms to me and shook it."How about you, beautiful? What's your name?" I asked, making her chuckle.

She groaned. "You're so humble." She said, sarcastically.

"Thanks." I said, shrugging. "So your name?" I asked.

"Hello, my name is Love Venice Guildings. 27 years old and working at Jem's Construction. You just have to know me..... to know me." She said, shrugging and grins at her own words. Let's not forget that she bit’s her lower lip when grinning.

"Nice to meet you, Love." I said.

"Nice meeting you too." She replied.

"So..... Love, can I kiss you?" I suddenly asked, making her laugh like she never laughed before. It’s very nice to see her laughing like that and that's it’s because of me.

"You just met me and you already want to kiss me?" Love said. " I think, that's not a proper way for a first time meeting." She added and I chuckled.
"Yes yes yes. I know that." I said, nodding my head. "But just one peck on the cheek." I said, raising one finger, to make her laugh even more.

"No." She said, sticking out her tongue before she gets the clothes on the floor and went straight to the bathroom.

Groaning, "You'll gonna pay for that somehow." I shouted. "That's a promise, baby." I added before she burst out laughing and closed the door.

"Can't wait, baby." She shouted, laughing inside the bathroom.
Smirking, I started to go walk on the bathroom and see what she's been doing but when I reached for the door knob, she shouted again making me jump. "Oh! That's lock baby." She shouted and again, laughs at me.

I chuckles at myself. "I didn't go to the door, babe." I said shouting to make it more real. She unlocks the door, sticks out her tongue and closed it again before I had the chance to block the door.

"Yeah, right." She said, laughing. "I might not be able to see you walk but I felt you baby. I have a super power that only works only for you." She said.
I laugh at myself before I went to my bed and crash me in to it. She's crazy. I thought to myself

We're both crazy.
