Chapter forty

She glanced at her phone that she was holding, she saw the text messages that kept popping and for the better she's been wanting to give out her response merely she was a bit scared of her answer. She turned to the door and gently revolved the door knob that she held for at least ten seconds.

He was there, standing with a bouquet of lily of the valley. It looked beautiful as he was holding them in company with a small bag in his other hand. As usual, he'd say smiling takes fewer muscles than frowning, and he was doing so much better that she sometimes disliked it when he smiles especially to ladies.

May i?" he asked with his phone that revealed her name in the SMS section

She nodded and stepped out of the way giving him a complete access

She stared at him for the zillionth time as he was walking further to the living room. He tilted his face with a non-abrasive look in his face. He said

"you looked nervous"

She swallowed the air that filled her mouth the entire time she was staring at him

"It's because I know what you want to do, I guess"

With his pleasant and smoothing expression he dropped the bouquet and the bag then strolled forward and took her hands to his. He released her left hand that was in his right and brought it to her cheek that were so warm, he caressed it lightly and murmured

"you only know that but not what I want to say" he said and gently dragged her and made her sat on a sofa. He took the same seat on the couch and doesn't even bother putting space between them. He sat right next to her and made her practically lean on him.

She closed her eyes and opened them trying to get herself together.

"I know you knew what I've been wanting to do but I don't want you to know what I've been practicing to say. I wrote this sithen the time you returned from Germany...just waiting for the right time to spill it out"

he brought the card to her gaze and gave her

She glanced at him and then looked down to the card he was holding. She finally smiled and he was so happy that she's pushing away the nervousness

"I know he was your first and I know you loved him more than life itself but I want you to know that I've loved you way before he started. Your condition is never an excuse for a dodge and your confidence is the exact definition of beauty. I may not know how to propose my love yet I know one thing for a certain that I love you and I promise to love you even when I can't. I am not going to promise you anything but Honestly, I can't wait for the days I get to run around the house with you, I can't wait for the night I get to roll over and see you peacefully sleeping, I can't wait for the evenings I get to take you for dinner in different places, I can't wait for these nights where we get to watch your favorite cartoons while I message your legs happily, I can't wait for the mornings I get to cook breakfast for you while you sit tenderly watching my imperfective skills in cooking, I can't get to wait for the day I will cry and scream together with you as you are delivering the cute mini us. Truth be told My love, there is so much more I could say but to be exact I just can't wait to experience life with you"

She was sobbing and inasmuch as her hand was trembling she was also trying so desperately to stop it from shaking because she couldn't digest the love she felt for him, her Khalifa.

He reached for her hands and placed them on his cheeks and said

"I have never forgotten my love for you, not even for a second. I know arguments and quarrels are bound to happen in a relationship however whenever we get to have a fight please give me a chance to say sorry and plant a desirable kiss on my forehead for me to be reminded of how much I love and have struggled in order to get your whole heart"
