The Alpha and I

Chapter 32: The Proposal

"Excuse me! You never asked me if I wanted to," I blurted out. My nose is flaring, I know.

"Maib," he growled, not liking my complain. If Henry is planning to control this relationship, well he better kiss his ass goodbye.

"Hey! Let's clear things, okay. Firstly, you didn't ask me if I wanted to be your girlfriend. Secondly, you happily announced that we are engaged. Hello! Is it really hard for you to ask me first before you do something creepy!" I think my nerves are going to break. Henry gawked at me seriously.

"Creepy?"he asked.

"Yes! It creeps the hell out of me." My voice is shaking. Oh my god! I am revealing my fear infront of him. I thought this feeling was gone because I already admitted that I love him. But now it is coming back.

"You told me you love me too, Maib. I think I do not have to ask you."

Jerk! Insensitive! Those are the words that best described him right now. But I still love him.

"And how creepy it is to love me?"he added, annoyed by the creepy thing.

"I can't protect you,"I whispered. The fear of losing him is really freaking me. "I am afraid every single moment everytime I imagine Zerq and Iberron hurting you." I hid my face behind my hair. I can't look at him while making this confession. But it feels good to let him know that I care.

Henry growled loudly and I was forced to looked at him. His eyes were pitch black again. Oh crap! Did I say something wrong? He stood on and without saying a word, he carried me.

"Will you be my girl, Maib?"he asked while staring at me passionately.

I gulped and answered,"yes."

"Will you marry me?"he asked again. He started walking, but still staring at me. I gulped again, this time really hard. Marraige! Wedding, at seventeen or eighteen, I think I can't do it.

"Look, I really want to but do you think it's too early?" Henry just chuckled and kicked the door hard. We are now in a white room. The room isn't big but it is clean and comfy. He put me on bed.

"We can set the wedding on your chosen date. Don't worry, from now on I'll ask first." He sat beside me.

"Fair enough," I commented.

"We need to sleep while we still have time." I agreed with him. We lay on bed together and Henry pulled me closer. I felt complete and peaceful. Does he feel the same way too?

"I love you, Maib,"he whispered on the top of my earlobe. I like this kind of Henry, sweet and caring. I closed my eyes and wrap my arm around his waist. "I do not want to lose you. I can't lose you. I don't want to be lonely again." He inhaled my scent. His words are warm and it makes my consciousness drift into darkness. But I manage to answer him.

"You'll not lose me. I'm stuck with you like you've said." My eyelids automatically closed and sleep took over.

That night, I dream about Henry.
