Anabelle was sitting on the couch. She was watching dramas in the televesion where she was having a time for relaxation. She was tired cleaning the whole house where she was staying. She have regretted on how big her house was.
"I hope a small house would be better." She sighed heavily and for a few seconds, she fell asleep.
The tick of the clock was heard from the bedroom of Erina. She was having a hard time for answering all of her assignments in Math because she was sharing it with her friends.
"Hello, Rossie. This is so hard." Riza called Rossana and she was panicking and having anxiety on numbers.
"Yes. It's so difficult. I'm getting sleepy." Rossie covered her eyes because of tiredness.
"If only Nancy was present yesterday, our teacher would be kind to us." Riza was venting out her anger towards her.
"Yea, she is so insensitive." Rossie's voice was sleepy and her eyes too, was sleepy.
"I hope she'll be kicked out tomorrow."
"I hope so. She thinks that she's the best." Rossie put her earphones on her ears and laid her arms on her study table.
"She's boasting that she's the campus sweetheart. I heard her yesterday."
"I wonder how Delilah became friends with her. I have pity on her." Riza sighed heavily.
"Perhaps, she wanted to be popular too."
"Yes." They both laughed at her.
Lily just wanted to answer all of the assignments this night and the three girls were busy too. After a few minutes, they dropped the call while she was writing her thoughts in an essay to an English subject.
"This is really difficult." Her cellphone rang and when she saw her screen wallpaper, Sebastian appeared. "Hello, this is Lily."
"Hi, Lily. Are you there at home?"
"Yes." She was all alone in their house and he inivited her to a fancy restaurant. She wore her oversized black shirt with small prints of calligraphy and her skinny jeans paired with white rubber shoes.
She locked the gate and he was amused at her attire. "You look great."
"Thanks." Her smile was quick and hopped in his car.
"Are you sure that you'll wear that?"
"Yes." Lily's attention was the view outside. It was too dark, with a silent road and too creepy for her but she would think that she was strong enough to handle her fears.
"We'll go to a fancy restaurant and you'll wear that?"
"Are you kidding me?" She gave him a grumpy look as he was smirking and stopped at their mansion.
"What are we doing here?"
"Let's have a toast."
"What toast?" Her eyebrows met while her heart was thumping loudly.
"A dinner date in the kitchen." He opened the gate for them and when she was attacked by her fears, she stepped out of the car and he grasped her wrist.
"Don't go." He was begging for her to stay with his eyes looking at her silently.
"I need to go home."
"But, you have to be with me tonight."
"Why?" She calmed herself while he was givung her a heavy sigh.
"It's my birthday today and I wanted you to know that I-" His words were cut when she pulled him inside their mansion.
"Then, how about your Mom?"
He was chopping the garclic, onions and carrots on the chopping board. "She has a business trip today and she told me that she will not come."
"Okay, I hope we can make this special day a perfect one." Her smile was genuine even she was boyish.
"I have nothing to do with it. Just stay with me."
"Where's your butler?"
"He was having his leave for a month. I don't know but he needs to do something important about his family."
She got up and smiled, "Okay, let me just help you to do the table."
"No." He pulled her back and he grasped her hand to go to the living room. "Just sit here and relax."
"Okay." She sighed and switched on the television.
It was ten minutes since he left her there but when you think that she was there alone, no. She came to the dining room and prepared something. She rummaged the room for small white candles and put it on the small glasses which fitted the size of candles.
She switched on the lamps and put a small table beside it. She covered it with white cloth and pulled two chairs from the dining area. She pulled two roses from the vase displayed at a corner of the place. She put the petals around the small table and put some small candles on the floor.
"Is this too much? I don't think myself as romantic." She couldn't believe how much she put effort with this. She heard some steps coming from the kitchen. She hurriedly ran at the back of the door. She opened the door and he was there, holding a tray of roasted chicken.
When she opened the door for him, his face lightened up. He was filled with joy which was a rare thing to him.
"This is too much." He walked to the small table slowly and put the roasted chicken there. "You're amazing." He pulled her to his chest and started carressing her cheeks.
Lily was uncomfortable at his first move. The first time when he was too close to her body. Her thoughts were killing her. She was unable to move her mouth when he was staring on her lips.
"I like you, Lily." He looked into her eyes. "No, let me rephrase it. I love you."
She unconsciously kiss him on his right cheek and grinned. "I love you too."
The words which they couldn't tell were now told. Thier hearts seemed comfortable at ecah other since they heard it right. They were overjoyed with love and filled the place with acceptance. How romantic it was!
