Touch Of Solicitude

EPÍLOGO

Everything went well, our luggage and bag were packed, the only thing that ruined my day was Luigi's phone that rang endlessly, "You better answer that call once and for all, Luigi," I snickered, "I apologize, my friends are quite persistent," I took a deep breath and composed myself.

"Unfortunately, our plans are cancelled," I stood shocked with my mouth hanging left open, "What- why?" I almost released the luggage from my hand.

"An unexpected ball was scheduled for the following night an apparently dueto it, my friends can't come to the trip. With Maximilliano and Tristan being in charge of the cclothes and jewelry, it's impossible to join them," He scratched the back of his neck and looked down, "I suppose we can't do anything about it," I dropped the bags and made my way towards him.

"Come here," I opened my arms; at that instance, his face lit up, coming towards me with a tight hug, "I'm glad to know that you're here with me," He chuckled, spinning us around as we tiptoed to the bed.

"We can just stay here, or do you still want to go to the trip, alone together?" His questions made me think, "All right, we can go together,"

It was the most likely situation we could do; it is not every day we can have a day to ourselves. We should get going and take this day to ourselves. I also want to spend the day with him. Soon arriving at the place, my eyes wandered, it somehow felt familiar, there I saw a blanket was laid, with lights surrounding us.

It had champagne glasses and food at the corner, the breeze of the wind added chills, sending shivers to my spine, "Here," He draped his jacket on my shoulder, "Thank you,"

"This was the place you showed me after the launch party, right? I never thought that this would look good whether it was night or day," I smiled, "Thank you for brining me here, again,"

Just as the two of us observed the call, my phone rang; before I could even answer it, Luigi snatched my phone, "I hope that you are well informed that Miss Kim is at her leave, I am with my woman now. Please stop bugging her and don't call her again," I laughed out, to which returned a confused expression, "I only said it for your own good, just thank me, Sunny. I helped you out in a situation," My eyebrows furrowed.

"What?" He raised, "You said that when you first brought me here, you drove Manuel off, even back then and now, I thank you yet again,"

I turned to him, clasping my hands together, "I finally met that person," He titled his head slightly, "I waited for years, experienced heartbreak after another heartbreak. If I knew that this would happen all along, I should have realized what I felt for you sooner,"

"It's just as you said, you took your time, went lost along the way, but in the end we found each other and became each one's home, our safe place," He held my hand, intertwining our hands together, "You finally acknowledged what you felt for me,"

He opened up a box and appeared a cake, "Happy Birthday, Sunny," He smiled at me, "Happy Birthday, Luigi,"

"Before blowing the candles out you need to make wish if you want any of your wants to come true," I chuckled; it was the same line, from a year ago, from before when we were kids, "Do you still not believe in wishes?" I shook my head.

"I am wishing because one of my wishes finally came true," We soon blew the candle out, "What about your wish?"

He gave me an assured expression, "I wished that the person I love will also love me back," His gaze fell on me. "What about now?" He shrugged his shoulder.

"I need to hear your thoughts about that," He cupped my face, "The person you love also loves you back,"
