Chapter 1
“I love you love”. He kiss her forehead gently while swinging her against the cold wind blowing from the window, soft music playing in the room.
Wise man say, only fools rush in. But I can’t help falling in love with you…
It’s their third anniversary.
She smiled as she remembered the time they first met. He was her college sweetheart back then. . Meeting him became the best day of her life. They both have took Architecture in a prestigious University of New York. He had this coldest eyes and this touch-me-and-I’ll-kill-you look in him every time. He was quite the popular guy in the campus and yeah, every girl fantasizes and drools over him. Well, not her. Definitely not. Hmmm, he’s hot, she thought, but not her type. Absolutely not.
“You know I do not love you. I just don’t have a choice”. She answered naughtily as she hugged him tenderly. Happiness registered in her face. She couldn’t ask for more than this.
“Ha! Liar. You can’t even look away with this face”. He stopped her from swinging and teasingly force her to look at him.
“Nah!” she replied as they both laughed together.
“Marry me” he suddenly knelt and opened a white small box exposing a ring. A beautiful ring with a diamond engulfed in center. She was shocked. Mesmerized. Yes, she was waiting for this moment but she never expected this would be so nerve-wracking. She stands there for a moment still don’t know what to say.
“Ahermmmm. I know you can’t resist my charm Miss Teffany Lee.” He added nervously. He’s been waiting for her answer for a minute now. He looked at her with sadness in his eyes.
“Love, it’s okay. We still have so much time. You can take your time.” He mumbled silently.
“Yes!” she suddenly tell him.
“Yes?.... You mean Yes?” he asked her and stood up and reached for her.
“Yes. I’ll marry you Cold.” She tells him sincerely and lovingly. Kevin, whom she used to call Cold, her loving lover, and her supporter, was the best decision she ever made. Everything about them is perfect.
She looked at him while he gently put the ring in her finger. It was perfect. It was beautiful. The song just surprisingly blends the mood in the night, she thought.
Take my hand, take my whole life too.
For I can’t help falling in love with you….
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be...
“I love you my love. I promise I’ll take care of you.” He said and kiss her tenderly. Yeah, she still gets those butterflies even after all these years. She still melts with those firm arms of him. He was her stars in her darkness. He was her everything.
KRRRRIIIINNGGGG..!! KRRRRIIIINNGGGG
Teffany wakes up with the sound of her alarm clock. It’s already 4 am in France. Hmmm, God knows how much she loves to put herself to bed and to go back to slumber. She loved to.
With a heavy heart and teary eye, she stands up and stops the clock. She draw her curtain aside and let herself enjoy the view of Eiffel Tower in her window. She can’t get enough of it. It’s been 8 years since she moved in. Yeah, 8 long years and she still has the same dreams at night. Teffany sat on her sofa near the window. Tears started dripping out from her eyes.
“It’s been eight years Cold and here I am, still stuck. Why do you have to leave me this way Cold?” she whisper silently as tears continue to pour. She misses him. She misses those moments when Cold hugged her and kissed her forehead randomly.
