My Love from my Photograph

Part 14

(Y/n)'s POV

Joseph and I were sitting on the green grassy meadow with our heads leaning against each other's while admiring the beauty of the scenery filled with dandelions flying all over the place and the cool breeze caressing our faces under the beautiful sunset.

"Joseph..."

"Yes, mon chéri?"

I tried my best to confess my feelings for him as I gathered enough courage to. "You are my world, the only world I love and will ever live in. You are my breathe, I will surely die without you... Alright that's it. I can't continue..." I looked down at my dress and blushed. I can't believe I just let all of my courage go away in just one puff like a bursted balloon. Also, I believe many people had used those types of quotes right?

"Nice try." He chuckled,"but you'll have to try harder than that."

He looked up at the sky and started,
"You are the beginning of my letter,
The content of my poem,
The ending of my fairy tale."

He lowered his head and rested it on my shoulder. Then continued,
"You are the memory I'd ever keep,
The picture I'd ever cherish,
The painting I'd ever admire."

Then he sat back up and looked at me with his usual warm smile,"How does that sound? Better, right?" I blushed as I watched the wind playing with his white hair. He looked like he was part of the picture from my view which made my heart pound.

Ever since our first dance, we started had our outings for several times. He was always the one who could say such beautiful words to me. Even though sometimes I tried to give him back some words like how he could but failed, he would still cheer me up and made some corrections or gave suggestions to me.

For other times, it was either having tea together, playing instruments together or meeting him at his workplace.

"You should definitely compose a song for such beautiful words, Monsieur Joseph." I smiled at him as he was walking me home. "I suppose I could, but with your help, of course," I clutched his arm even tighter and lean my head against his shoulder as I heard his reply.

I really wish we could be like this forever...

Looks like that was what Chapter 5 was all about. I really have no idea that how much we loved each other back then. I think I haven't change at all, for I still don't have the courage to express my heart due to being shy and embarrassed all the time.

Maybe, if he knows it, that's enough.

After having a great meal, Violetta and Michiko pushes me right to Violetta's room. When we are all inside, Violetta presents me a huge bag covered in black.

"I almost forgot, Mr. Joseph actually wanted to give you this as your Valentine's Day gift too! But there were several flaws, so he sent it to me the other day to stitch it up. Now it's as good as new!"

"Really?" I am curious what type of gift would he still give me.

"Can you open it up? Now? Pretty please?" Michiko looks even more excited than I am.

"Sure," I don't mind to open it in front of them. I pull off the zip and inside reveals a beautiful gown. My face lit up as I admire it in astonishment. It is exactly the same gown I wore when we had our first dance back then!

"That's such a gorgeous dress!" Michiko's eyes sparkle like diamonds while Violetta insists that I put it on immediately.

I change into the gown and gently touch the fabric of it. "It looks really good on Miss (Y/n)!"
