The Cruise of Love

Day Four: I'm Very Sorry, Natalia

"Nat," Lett sat beside her and touched her shoulder in Lett's room. "We need to talk."

"About what," she replied. "Hurting me again, Lett? Haven't you realised I'm already hurting?"

"I was being burdensome to you, and I realised I was wrong about it," Lett said. "I'm very sorry, Natalia. Hurting you has never been my intention."

"Your words hurt me."

"I know. I'm very sorry about it."

"Natalia released a sigh, but she smiled at her. She touched Lett's hands on her shoulders. "I forgive you. You make mistakes, but I won't let it affect me. Affect us. Affects the relationship we have."

"You and me... are in a relationship?" Lett asked.

She nodded. "Didn't you figure it out? It's evident. We do love each other, or are we?"

"It is up to the odds. If that's true, I will help you remove the curse." Lett said.

"You're the best," Natalia dropped a tear from her eyes while touching her cheeks. "I'll never do the same thing as what your ex-fiancé did to you. I'll never fail you nor hurt you."

She held Natalia's hands, kissing them. "Let's begin this."

Natalia pulled Lett's face closer to her, and they made contact. Their lips connected. As their hands roamed on their bodies, they lay on the couch, breaking their kiss, with Natalia above her.

"Will you still be stubborn for me, Lett?" Natalia whispered in her ear.

Breaking the moment, Lett asked, "What's your name before? You never told me your name when we first met."

"Ethan," she replied. "That lifestyle creator who got famous on Instagram."

Lett gestured for her to lie next to her. "Ethan? You're the one who got famous for your luxury apartment that everyone envies!"

"Yup. Since then, I changed my username to reflect who I am now."

"I'm so glad I have met you! I have been dying to meet you since you got famous."

"And you met me, love." Natalia touched her cheeks. "Since then, I can't let you go."

"I'm so glad you realised that." Lett pressed a kiss on her forehead.

But then, one knock on the door would scare Lett as she heard her ex-fiancé banging, saying, "Cherryl! Open the door!"

Natalia held onto her. "What should I do?"

"Stay put, Ethan. I will not say a word about this relationship, nor you." She pressed a kiss to Natalia's kiss before opening the door.

"What?" She said. "What do you want, Emil?"

"Why are you not with me?" He asked. "And who's this girl you're with?"

"That's my friend Natalia. She wanted to show me something."

"Hi," Natalia made a little wave while sitting.

"I thought we already broke up?" She said.

"No, our business is not done." Emil glared, much to her annoyance.

"Which one? The one where you told me that we were through?"

"We are not over yet, Cherryl."

Witnessing their fight, all Natalia wanted was to help her escape.

"I'll save you, my Cherryl."
