Twisted Love

Chapter 52

Masons POV

One step and I was kicked hard by the nostalgia, the time when I brought Elena to this place for the first time. That night in Mexico. I got a rewind of every memory, every moment.

The whole place was lit up. I entered the the cafe and a waiter handed me a rose. I took it from him. There was a message with the rose.
"I am glad you came."

I smiled and took a few steps and again a waiter gave me a rose with a message.
"I know we can't turn back the time but I hope we will spend the rest with a smile.
Oh wow, I didn't notice but it actually rhymed. :p"
I chuckled.

Few more steps and I was presented with another rose and a message.
"Doesn't matter who's fault it was if it's the same thing that we both want."

And another one.
"There's so much that we both have gone through in this period of time but I seriously want to put it all behind."

"You irritate me. You get on my nerves all the time and I hate you for that."

"But you are the one who can bring a smile on my face no matter what."

"Your one smile and all my worries vanishes away."

"I like you but why?
Any reason why I can not find?
You are not handsome,
You are not cute,
Yet my heart only wants you.
Your toothy smile,
Your twinkling eyes,
Your flirty lines,
Or it's just your pure heart that has captured my heart.
It never beaten the way it beats for you.
It never waited the way it waits for you.
The moments you have given me are special to me which i will never gonna forget
Months ago you were no one to me,
But now it feels as if my heart thinks about you only
The way I danced with you,
I have never danced with anybody.
I might not mean anything to you but for me you are..."

I took another step and my breath was stuck. I did not realise that I have reached her. There she was standing right in front of me in a white gown. Her long hair were swinging in the air. Her eyes shining bright. I was mesmerized. Awestruck. It was as if I was looking at her after a very long time. She looked away for a moment then down at her hands. That is when I noticed her wearing the very same charm bracelet that I gifted her when I proposed her in Mexico. Jesus. It feels like an eternity has passed.
I started walking towards her and stopped only when I was a few steps away from her.

"You didn't complete." She was caught off guard for a moment. She looked at me with her big brown eyes.
"But for you I am?" I pointed towards the last rose message.

She took a deep breathe and looked straight in my eyes.

"Everything." We were both quite for a moment.

"I don't know what you are thinking, Mason. I don't know whether you even want to be with me or not but all I know is that you are important to me. You.." she stopped for a few seconds then continued, "You complete me. Who I am today, it's because of you as well. I don't want a normal smooth life, I want it to be adventurous and I know being with you it will be just like that."

She looked at me after that then looked away again.

"It is okay if you don't want to be with me anymore. I just wanted to tell what I feel and.."

"I Love You." I don't think her eyes can go bigger than they were right now. Funny thing is even I can't believe I said those 3 words to her.

I placed all the roses on the table and closed the distance that was there between us. I took her hands in mine and moved my fingers over the bracelet. I looked at her eyes and there were tears in them.

"I Love You, Elena Edwards. I never thought I would say these words to anyone but damn you woman, you changed me. That day when I saw that letter.." I touched my forehead to hers and closed my eyes, "I thought I have lost you and after that you vanished away and I thought that I would never see you again but today when I saw your message", I looked at her again, "I can't tell how happy I was for a moment but then there were so many bad thoughts going inside my head I can't even tell you."

We were quite for a few minutes. Just standing there like that.

"Are you not going to say it back?" I asked her. She was still in shock for some reason. I put a few hair strands behind her ear. She shivered a little from my touch. I put my one hand on her waist and pulled her towards me.

"Seriously just a while ago you were talking too much and now.."

"I Love You too, Mason." She said in one breathe.

"What?" I so want to hear it again.

"I Love You." She said and hugged me. I hugged her back. I am never going to let her go now. All that has happened will be the story of the past. After this we will only be happy.

We pulled back. I looked in her eyes. They were a little watery. I looked at her lips then. I moved towards her, slowly. I noticed her closing her eyes. Inch by inch and finally my lips touched her soft lips. I can't put my feelings into words. I held her waist and pulled her closer to me so that there would not be any space left between us. My other hand was on her cheek. For a few moments she was still but after that she kissed me back. Her hands tangled in my hair, pulling them softly.

Elena'a POV

All my fears vanished away as soon as our lips touched. It was as if something melted inside me, all the longings, all the dreams, all the deep secrets, came awake. Everything made sense now.

A few drops of water fell on my face and we pulled away.

It started to rain. Can it get better than this?

We both had a huge smile on our faces. "I took your first kiss away." Mason said. I laughed. He kissed me again. "And second." And again. "And third." I slapped him on his shoulder. "Stop it, Anderson." He laughed.

"Wait. I am not cute and I am not hot? Seriously woman, go get your eyes checked. Girls die on my looks, boys gets envy and you are saying I am not hot?" He said and raised his eyebrow.

"Well it came straight from my heart."
"Oh really? Is that so?"

"Yes."

"Say that I am the most good looking guy you have ever met in your life." Mason asked me to say.

"I can't lie to you."

"Say it."

"No."

"Say it."

"What if I don't?"

"Fine. Don't tell me that I did not warn you."

"What do you mean?" And he started tickling me. "Mason stop. Please, no. Please." I started laughing. "Mason please."

"Say it or else I won't." He did not stop.

"Mason. Mason. Please. No. Stop. Fine. Fine. I will say it. Stop."

He stopped.

"You are the most handsome guy that I have ever met in my entire life and I don't know why I wrote that in my poem."

"Good." He smiled at me. I messed up his hair. "Edwards. Don't." He shouted and I laughed. "We should leave. It's raining. We will fall sick." He said.

"I don't want to. It's perfect. It will sound cheesy but I always wanted to have my first kiss in the rain and it's actually happening." I bit my lip.

"Don't do that."

"Do what?"

"Bite your lip." I looked away.

"I am so happy that you are finally mine, Edwards."

"Me too, Mason."

"I would never let you go away from me now. No matter what."

"I Love You, Mason Anderson."

"I Love You too, Elena Edwards."

And we sealed it with a kiss, all our happiness, our dreams, our future. I don't know what will happen in the future but what matter is that in present we both are together and happy. And hopefully it will remain like this only, Forever.
