The Girl Unknown

CHAPTER 6

"You've got that one thing!!"

"What?"

"Nothing, your just so beautiful that I get lost in your beauty."

"Quentin. Oh gosh you flatter me all the time."

"Yes. I know. You deserve it."

"Quentin?"

"Lily?"

"I just wanted to say...."

"Wanted to say...?"

"Look Quentin, I'm not a stop along the way, I want to be a destination."

"And I was on a journey and now I've reached my destination."

My ears heard it, but my brain could not comprehend it. I think he understood what I was like at that time. I didn't know myself yet. The things I was feeling were so hard to explain.

I wanted to say more, but I just couldn't.

He asked, "Tell me?"

"Huh?" I said, distracted.

"Don't bottle it up beautiful, tell me what you want to say. Remove it!!"

"No, Quentin....." I sighed, "It's nothing!" I said. The reality was that I had one question. It could have many answers and I was curious.

"Tell me Lily!?"

One question.

"Why me?"

"What do you mean?" he said, feigning ignorance. He very well understood my question, but he pretended as he though he wanted it to be brought out in the open. He wanted me to let it all out.

So, I decided to humour him.

"Why me? Why not anyone else? Why an ugly person like me? So many pretty girls around, why did you for someone like me? What have I done? You can get anyone you want!! Then why someone like me ?!?!" I said in one breath.

"Because you're heart is so beautiful and a gorgeous face that you can beat any other girl on the planet. Trust me, you are just the only one for me. Lily you see these other girls?? They might have an attractive out appearance, but you know what attracted me towards you the most?? Your pure, clean and beautiful heart. Why you, you ask? Because i deserve the best and the best for me is you. What you have done? You are driving me crazy ever since the first day I saw you. Your smile, your laughter is all I need."

I looked at him through teary eyes.

"Lily?"

"Yes!" I said in a broken voice.

"I Love You."

Those three words were a lot. It just meant a lot. He meant a lot to me.

"I Love You too Quentin."

"Now stop crying, I hate it when you cry! Want to cry on me?" he said.

"Haha." I smiled.

"You now, you think you're very sweet??" I said.

"Yeah!! Have you tasted me?" He said with a smile.

I laughed out loud, "No but still.." I said.

"Yeah. Yeah I understand what you meant.. Anyways you know that you're as sweet as sugar?" He said.

"Yeah? Have you tasted me??" I copied him.

"Thief!! You stole my line!!"

I just giggled in response.

"You're sweet enough for me."

I grinned although my cheeks hurting.

"Okay?" He said asking for my hand.

"Okay!" I said putting my hand in his.

I could feel him staring at me and so I turned my head and stared back. He laughed and I glared back.

Right then I remembered, that only a few days ago we had started dating, but I had caught him staring at me before that. In fact, I was even told by my friends that he had been staring at me during lectures.

Everyone knew that we liked each other except the two of us. We just kept the feelings to ourselves, not wanting the good and beautiful friendship to end.

He was the only one who adored my stupidness. I don't even know why he adored it so much.

I kept reminding him about me not being a Journey but the destination and he would explain that he was on a journey and he has finally reached his destination.

Just before i left: "I Love You Lily"

"I Love You too Quentin"

I blushed. He smiled.
