Unexpected Love: The Arranged Marriage

Chapter 22: A Reply At Last

Samuel couldn't believe his eyes when he saw a reply from Samantha on his phone.

His heart skipped a beat as he eagerly opened the message, hoping it was positive news. He read the message over and over again, savoring every word.

Samantha had replied, saying that she enjoyed spending time with him and would love to meet up again.

Samuel's face broke into a broad smile, and he let out a sigh of relief. He was thrilled that Samantha had responded positively to his message. He quickly composed a reply, expressing his excitement and suggesting that they meet up for coffee that evening. He hesitated for a moment, wondering if it was too soon to ask her out again. But he shrugged off his doubts, reminding himself that life was short and he didn't want to miss any opportunity to spend time with someone he liked.

Samuel hit send, and waited anxiously for Samantha's response.

He paced around the room, unable to concentrate on anything else. After what seemed like an eternity, his phone beeped.

It was Samantha, agreeing to meet him at the coffee shop at 6 pm.

Samuel let out a whoop of joy and did a little dance around the room. He couldn't believe his luck. He quickly got ready, put on his best shirt, and sprayed a little bit of cologne. He wanted to look his best for Samantha.

As he made his way to the coffee shop, Samuel's mind raced with excitement. He wondered what they would talk about and if he could muster the courage to tell Samantha how he felt about her.

Samuel arrived at the coffee shop, and spotted Samantha sitting by the window. She smiled when she saw him, and Samuel felt his heart skip a beat. He walked up to her, feeling a little nervous, but excited to see her again.

"Hi, Samantha," he said, smiling.

"Hey, Samuel," she replied, looking beautiful in a blue dress.

They ordered their coffee and found a cozy corner to sit in. They chatted about their interests, hobbies, and work. Samuel was amazed by how much they had in common. He felt a connection with Samantha that he had never felt with anyone before.

As they finished their coffee, Samuel gathered his courage and took a deep breath.

"Samantha, there's something I want to tell you," he said, his voice trembling slightly.

Samantha looked at him, her eyes curious.

"I really enjoyed spending time with you, and I feel like we have a connection. I know it's early, but I can't help how I feel. I'd like to take you out on a proper date, if you're interested," he said, looking directly into her eyes.

Samantha's face lit up with a smile.

"I'd like that, Samuel," she said, her voice soft and sincere.

Samuel felt a wave of relief and happiness wash over him. He had finally mustered the courage to express his feelings, and he was thrilled that Samantha felt the same way. He took her hand and squeezed it gently, feeling a spark of electricity.

As they left the coffee shop, Samuel felt like he was walking on air. He couldn't wait to see where this relationship would go. He knew it wouldn't be easy, but he was willing to put in the effort to make it work. He felt like he had finally found his soulmate, and he wasn't going to let her go.
