“Will you be my girlfriend?”
Speechless.
“I’ll ask you again. Will you be my girlfriend?”
“What?”
Laughs. “I asked you a question; you also answered me a question. That’s not fair, you know”
Bows down. “Oh, sorry.”
Raised her chin. Looking deep into her eyes. “I love you”
Smiles. “I know..”
Smiles, too. “I know you would answer me that.” Smiled softly. “Let’s go home” Turned back and started to walk.
Captures his hand. He stops. Her heart beats fast. “What about your question awhile ago?”
Looks at her hand over his. Looks up. Smiles. “I know you’re not ready yet to answer that. As I promised you, I will wait.” Turns back and started walking but stops his tracks. Turns back. “What is it?” Curiosity all over his face. Her hand tightly holding his hand.
“Won’t you ask me again?”
“Soon.”
“Soon is now.”
Speechless.
“I’ll say that again. Soon is now.”
Eyes blinking. “What do you mean?”
Laughs. “I asked you a question; you also answered me a question. That’s not fair, you know”
Smiles. Cups her face. Stares into her eyes. “Will you be my girlfriend?”
Smiles. From ear to ear. Slowly, she answered, “YES.”
And under the moonlight, they kissed.
