City of Paris, France

"Where exactly are you taking me?" I asked Adrien as we stopped near the park with I think a few people or so. Bumaba kami sa limo and he assisted me to walk towards na park with green grass all over.

When I looked up doon ko lang narealized kung saan kami pumunta.

"The Eiffel tower!" I shouted as soon as we stopped in front of the infamous Eiffel tower! I really can't believe it na nasa mismong tapat ako nito.

"You like it?" Adrien asked looking at me with tender eyes.

I nodded. "I love it!" humarap ako sakanya. There are lights under the tower kaya medyo maliwanag ang paligid. I can also see Adrien's face as we both look at each other.

"Thank you" I sincerly said.

I'm really pleased to see this view na madalas sa postcards ko lang nakikita. Hindi rin kasi ako madalas magtravel unlike nina papa at kuya kaya madami pa akong lugar na hindi napupuntahan.

"You're always welcome my lady" said Adrien as he bowed in front of me.

When he looked up again. Nagtama ang mga paningin namin. He looked at me like there's no one else in this world except me. I felt a bit awkward again. Especially when he smiled passionately at me.

"You know I don't really know what to say whenever I'm alone with you like this" he said looking flustered and shy. Napakamot pa siya ng ulo at hindi makatingin ng diretso sakin.

"Alam ko ilang beses ko nang sinabi sayo na gusto kita. But I want you to know that I'm really dead serious about you" he soon stopped being agitated and stood up straight and meet me in the eye.

"Je t'aime"

My heart won't stop pounding when he said those words to me. But I'm pretty sure it's because of nervousness right?

The way Adrien looks at me, I already know how much I mean to him. Eversince we were little, he's always there to protect me and give me comfort. Lumaki ako ng palagi siyang kasama, even though we're far away from each other. He always finds a way to visit me and spend days to look after me. He is a guy worth loving but I don't think I can really give the love he wants and deserves. But how the hell am I suppose to reply to him...especially when he sincerly mouthed the words I love you with his own language.

He continue staring at me with his tender looking eyes. Pero bahagya akong napayuko not really sure what to say. I don't want to hurt him. Of all people siya ang taong ayaw kong masaktan. He doesn't deserve it.

I heard him chuckled as he claimed ny hands on my sides. I looked up to him nervously.

He gave me a gentle smile. "No need to answer me if you're not yet ready my lady. I've already waited years. So it doesn't matter how long it takes till you answer me. I can wait" he said while looking deep into my eyes with pure sincerity.

His eyes were sparkling under the night sky of Paris. In front of the infamous tower and inside the city of love.

This is actually considered one the most romantic confessions ever done but no matter  how perfect the situation is if your heart is not beating for the person in front of you. This is all meaningless.
