Billie was looking through books when she felt someone else's  presence.

He stuck out a white rose in front of her.

He placed his chin on her right shoulder.

"Take it, it's for you"

She hesitated to take the rose.

However, Billie took the white rose from Elijah.

He hugged her from behind fully once she accepted the rose.

I'm truly sorry Billie , Elijah whispered to Billie.

She remained quiet.

She wasn't a fanatic of roses.

She decided to take a chance by first accepting Elijah's rose and then by inhaling the rose's scent.

No wonder why girls prefer roses!

Due to the fact of their scent and their meaning behind it.

Why now?

I had a feeling you finish things with "him" and besides, that I was being a cold piece of trash to you confessed Elijah kissing Billie's neck.

Billie breathed in and exhaled before turning to look at Elijah.

Her cheeks were rosy.

She pursed her peach color lips.

I was acting like a dick to you and avoiding you and I'm sorry.

Why were you avoiding me?

I wanted us to think instead of lashing out I gave us space to analyze everything over.

I wanted you to be comfortable with your decisions and your actions.

I also had to fix things left undone.

I'm not the easiest person to handle and I have my issues too but they're bigger than normal and chaotic. I want you to know this. I don't want there to be surprise when we get together. From time to time I might be associated with trouble but I'm trying to control that. I'm not going to change for anyone or "for the better". I'm going to fix my junk-like life for me and I'm trying.

We both know there is going to be ups and downs but I'll want their to be communication between us and work throughout the bad and good. I promise to respect you and take care of you.

I want to say you have a way with words but you don't because that will be like saying you're tricking me into something unexpected and the opposite of everything of what you just said Billie spoke.

I'm going to take my chance and believe you and see were this leads too.

And I'm not her to alternate you in any aspect because I want to be with you and your flaws.

I just care about you want to be with you Elijah.

Those are flaws and everyone has them, some are just more noticeable.

How about if we do this more formal suggested Elijah.

Will you like to be my girlfriend? Asked Elijah blushing his blue eyes starving at Billie

Yes, I'll like too reply Billie grinning silly.

Elijah steadied Billie by grabbing a hold of her hips.

He kissed her forehead.
