Chapter 112: Young Heart
"W–Wait! I’m sorry. I’m having a hard time to process it." Her eyes staring at him, wide open.
Lucas couldn’t believe that for a smart girl like Brie, she was too slow to get what he told her.
"What’s hard to process about that?" He asked, annoyed.
"Do you like me?" She answered him with a question.
And when he blushed, her heart couldn’t take it. She gasped for air because she felt like she couldn’t breathe.
"Lucas, can you please give me a straight answer? I–I don’t want to assume and hope."
Lucas clicked her tongue. "No! Because I’m in love with you. I don’t want to tell you because you’re too young. I decided to wait until you’re eighteen, but I’m scared that you might find someone else. So I’m telling you now. If you dare to look at another man, you’re really dead!"
Her chest felt like it would suddenly explode. She couldn’t hide her happiness and quickly jumped into his arms.
"I love you, Lucas! I really love you. For ten years, I thought you’re sick of me. Everyday I was scared that you might introduce someone as your girlfriend. I know I’m not worthy of your love, but I promise I will take care of your heart." She sobbed.
She cried a lot for Lucas, but it was the first time she cried of happiness. She had loved him for ten years. And even though she felt like there was no hope that he would return her feelings, still she chose to love him.
"Hey, don’t say that. You’re worth it and you deserve someone better than me, but I won’t let that happen. Aubrey Tiffany Cross, I love you and to answer your question earlier, yes, I am always and forever yours."
Brie was too happy and got carried away. She grabbed Lucas’ face and kissed him on the lips, making him unable to move.
