The One Who Changed It All (Rewritten)

4. Heaven

My breath stopped as I read what was written on the cake. I could feel the heat rising on my cheeks.

The words ' I Love You Angel ' were written on it with a heart made at the corner.

I blinked looking at it and wondered, am I dreaming or all this is happening for real?

I looked at Alex and looked down at the cake. I looked back at Alex. He was grinning and he held my hand softly.

" I love you, " he said making my heart skip a beat.

" I love you too...," I whispered softly.

" I knew that you had feelings for me but I am so sorry I was too blind to see it." apologized Alex.

" It's alright...now that you are with me," I said with a warm smile.

I could still feel the butterflies in my stomach. Yes, this was heaven, definitely heaven!

In a jiffy, Alex was standing right next to me. He held his hand out and asked me to join him for a dance.

There was pleasant, romantic music going on in the restaurant. But there were just two couples dancing. To be more exact there was just one couple dancing, as the other pair was busy making out. I hesitated for a minute as I am not quite good at dancing but then made up my mind and agreed. After all, How could I miss a chance like this!

We danced slowly, swaying our bodies with a romantic melody. I had my hands around Alex's shoulder while his hands were gently wrapped around my waist. Alex pulled me closer tightening his grip around my waist. I giggled.

" You are so beautiful, " he whispered slowly in my ears making me blush.

He lifted one of his hand from my waist and held my chin, stroking it lightly with his fingers. He leaned towards my face and placed his lips over mine. It made my heart beat stop for a moment. I involuntarily kissed him back. A part of me was finding it hard to believe that Alex Hunt was kissing me! After kissing passionately for about a minute, we stopped.

I put my head on his shoulders and murmured a soft " love you ". We continued swaying to the slow music holding each other.

After dancing for some more minutes, we finished our cake. We left the restaurant holding hands. When we reached where Alex's car was parked, he opened the door as he does every time. I sat in the car and we drove to my home.

As soon as Alex dropped me and left, I hurried towards my room and called up Jessica. I couldn't wait to share the news with her.

I told her everything that happened from the start to the time Alex dropped me home. She said that she was very happy about it but not before warning me to pay attention to Alex as he is quite known to be a playboy. I assured her not to worry about it. I asked her to wake me up on time as Alex would be dropping me to university tomorrow morning.

After ending the call, I changed my clothes and started finishing up my assignments.

I sprinted out of my house as I heard Alex honk his car. The moment I was out, he got out of his car and opened the door for me to sit. I placed my lips over his for few seconds and murmured 'good morning' before sitting in the car.

We chatted on our way to the university about our childhood memories, his family and various other things. I couldn't help but smile widely the whole time. Being with him filled me with happiness. It felt so good to finally have someone I could celebrate my happiness with, and a shoulder I could lean on when I needed.

I did have Jessica and Ethan for me but I sometimes felt like the third wheel in between them. They tried their best to not to make me feel that on their part but that feeling still found its way in me somehow sometimes...

Alex dropped me to the university and told me that he would be there to pick me later. I walked towards my class and sat on my seat and started texting Jessica. After some minutes, our English professor, Mrs. Hershey entered the class and started with her lecture.

Ten minutes later, there were two consecutive knocks on the classroom door. Everyone looked up to see who it was and so did I. There was a tall, lean guy with messy brown hair and a glowing fair complexion standing at the door.

I looked at him for some seconds and it didn't take me long to realise that he was the same guy who had shifted next to me. He was much more good-looking than I had thought. In fact, he was one of the most good-looking guys I had ever seen.

He stepped in and gave a sheet of paper which he was holding to Mrs. Hershey. She ran her eyes through it. After she was done the reading, she looked up to the boy and gave him a wide smile before turning towards the class.

"So, this is Cole Harren and he will be your classmate from now on," she said.

'Oh! So he is the guy Jessica and Ethan were talking about...'

As soon as she introduced him, I heard people whispering. I turned back to see what the girls behind me were talking about but Miss. Hershey's voice interrupted me.

" Have a great day, young man. "she said to the boy. He thanked her and started looking around the class for a place for him.

" You could go sit next to Miss. Angelina Falco, I am sure she would love to help you out in case you need anything. "

I smiled a Miss.Hershey and quickly looked around the class and found there were just two benches at the end which were vacant. Obviously, Miss. Hershey wouldn't let a new student sit alone.

His eyes landed on the vacant place next to me and then on me. I could feel the heat rising up to my cheeks. 'Why do some people have to be so good-looking?' I thought to myself and looked down to break the eye contact.

He walked towards my bench and sat next to me.

I looked at him and smiled. He looked at my face, I waited for him to smile back but he didn't.

" Hey Cole, my name is... " I tried to introduce myself but Cole's intense stare made me stop.

" Angelina, I know. The professor just said it." he said and turned his face away.

Hey, wattpeeps!
