Our Forever Sunset

Chapter 37: No Regret, Just Move On

Xander Devinson

After hearing about Carla's promise with her parents, I starts to plan things out in my head. It doesn't upset me that Carla didn't mention about it. The both of us are very busy since we started dating. So the promise might have slip off from her mind. I wouldn't be mad or upset with her, instead I decide to talk to her about it when it's just the two of us.

The discuss about the promise end when I told her parents that I will move and live in London if Carla have to go back. I'll support whatever decision that Carla makes. Her parents agree with my decision and we leave the decision to Carla to make.

I invite her parents to go out for dinner because I don't want to stress them with cooking and eating at home. I rather they enjoy their time conversing about their life while waiting for the food to arrive.

Carla parents aren't fussy about food so I took them to the seafood place that have become Carla's favorite place.

"Yay seafood! Mum, dad, you gonna love the food here. Also you get to see an amazing view of the beach as well" Carla is already excited about the food before we even order.

The evening flew quickly as Carla was enjoying her parents' company and food, of course. We went down to the beach to catch the sunset all together. We make the decision to return home as it becomes quite dark so her parents can unwind after a long day.

Now it's just me and Carla in my room. Carla sit at the edge of my bed, fidgeting with her fingers. I sit next to her and hold her hand in mine.

"I'm not upset Carla. You can say what's on your mind without worrying" I assured her, knowing Carla she properly ponder about what to say so that she don't hurt my feeling.

"I want to forget about it. The promise, I want to forget it. I don't want to lose you, I want to be in this relationship with you. The promise is the reason why I broke up with Anthony. I don't want to do long distance. I don't want him to wait. He deserve someone who can and want to be with him. Actually I'm just scared, scared that he resent me for the relationship" Carla explained everything to me while her face looks so glum and down cast.

"Do you regret making that decision? Breaking up with Anthony" I asked her this question not because I'm jealous or doesn't trust her. I want Carla to understand how she feel, that it's alright, that she don't have to worry so much by herself.

"Although what I did is wrong, I should have told Anthony about it like how I tell you. But I don't regret my decision, it is in the past, I have to move on from it." This is what I want Carla to understand, that it hurts you as well when you hurt someone else. It's normal to feel that way and that she shouldn't regret, what she could do is move on and wishing for Anthony to find his own happiness as well.

"You don't have to be scared Carla, I won't leave you over that. We will always be together. If you moved to London in two years, I will move there with you. You can chose what your heart want" I hug her tightly in my arms and pat her back lightly.

"Xander Devinson, I'm very grateful to have you in my life. You know how many times you've saved me already? You've done so much for me" I leave kisses all over her face. First, her forehead, the her eyes, her cheeks and slowly I pressed my lips on hers. Silencing her from continuing her words.

This kiss is to tell her that she don't have to feel guilty. Then I kiss her on the lips again, "this kiss is to tell you that I'll continue to take care and protect you."

"I love you, Xander Devinson" Carla whispers through our kiss.

"Thank you for loving me. I love you too, Carla Robinson." After that we kiss each other deeply, passionately, as if it is a promise to our forever.
