We fall in love.

Jake got down on one knee after he said those words. My wishes and dreams somehow became reality. He looked me in his deep blue eyes. I could feel his loud heartbeat through his cold hands. His pulse rushed into my bloodstream. He's now holding my right hand. He asked a question that made my heart stop its beat.

"Alison Finlay, Will you be my girlfriend?"

As he said those sweet words, my sight became blurry except from him. My heart almost stops beating. I bit my lip then suddenly my tears broke. I didn't know that my tears were already rolling down my rosy cheeks. I'm somehow, happy? Sad? Confused? What would I say? My mind turned blank like a plain paper. I didn't know what to say. I left speechless after he said those words. My jaw dropped.

"Alice? Will you be my girlfriend?" he repeated.

I wiped my tears that continued rolling. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I exhaled. He is in love with me.

"Yes! Jake! Yes! I will be your girlfriend!" I said crying. The tears of joy burst out. I couldn't control my emotions.

He stood and hugged my tightly. I hugged him back. His warmth from his body covered me. Our heart was beating as one. I closed my eyes while hugging his muscular body. He gently whispered to my ear.

"Thank you Alice. I love you" he broke his words and tears fell down from his blue eyes. It's my first time to see him cry.

Am I dreaming? He held his cold hands in my face as our forehead touched. He slowly kissed me in my forehead as his tears rolled down. He looked at me and wiped my tears with his gentle fingers. He smiled. In one blink of our eyes, the people in the cafe clapped their hands. Our cheeks turned red. We looked at them smiling as Jake hugged me. His arms around me made me feel like I'm home. I'm safe. I felt comfortable.

As I felt his arms wrapped around me, I remembered the stories and fairytales that my mother used to tell me. Fairytales really do come true. I feel that were in the happy ending, my prince charming has arrived and he will be with me forever. I'm really a princess because at last, my I found my prince. He's the one I've been waiting for. My tears continued to fall. His hug became tighter. We dance to the melody of the music in the cafe as the people have their eyes on us. We don't mind the people around us. We danced like there's nobody's watching. All I ever wanted is him. I just wanna enjoy this moment before anything else happens. I just wanna get lost in this moment. The connection between the two of us was romantic. I don't wanna share this with anybody else. I just got lost in a wonderland. This daydream is true. Even if I open or close my wide eyes, still, Jake is still there. The music filled our ears. I whispered the song to him.

"But you were there" "You were everything I'd never seen" "You woke me up from this long" "And empty sleep" "I was alone" "I opened my eyes" "And you were there"

My tears broke. He started to whisper.

"I love you Alice!" He said.
