When two worlds become one

Do you like me?

I stood there like a sculpture for a moment and I excused myself from the crowd and ran away. I could not believe what just happened. But I could not believe I'm running again. "why am I running again?" I asked myself. I was exhausted with the marathon towards my department. I stopped when I saw an empty class, I entered the room and shut the door immediately. I was shaking but I suddenly smiled. The smile was plastered on my face like a baby. "Did he just tell that in front of the whole crowd?" I thought. I was overwhelmed with all the situations. I'm not bold enough to face him, was my irritated thought which was shouting inside my brain. I cleared my mind and went outside, I washed my face and came out with a beautiful smile.

The ceremony was going on but I didn't feel like going back. I went back to my department and made myself busy in some work. I was hungry so I went to the canteen to have some meal, suddenly I felt somebody is staring at me. I looked around and confirmed that there was no one who was staring at me. I sighed and was about to order, suddenly I was pulled by some man who was taller and for sure very strong. I didn't see his face as I was scared to look at him. I just saw the ground. I suddenly felt that touch was familiar and raised my face to see the man.

"Wow, you haven't changed a bit not even a single bit, Rose. The same facial expressions, the same blush. Oh God, you just don't know what it makes me do" William continued.

"I was searching for you. I have spent so many years but you are not even using any social media, how can I find you?" saying this, a smile just peeked out from his well-sculpted face.

"You were search.. searching fo for me? but why?" I asked within a second and gulped whatever was there in my mouth. My face was dark red now. Looking at my face, he said "For this.. I wanted to talk to you all the time. You were running from me. All I wanted to say was you are so beautiful. Even when you are red, you are adorable".

My world was flipped upside down. So my love or crush towards him was not single-sided, he had the same feeling. But he never mentioned that he likes me and all. He likes my beauty so I can think positively about the whole story. I smiled widely.

"Do you like me?" was a simple question which I just blurted out from my mouth without hesitation. Was I crazy to just tell that? He is a billionaire and I'm just a professor at the college. He is a famous personality and I'm just a no one who is not even using any social media for God's sake. He is different from me in all perspectives, he is from a different world.

If I'm the earth, he is the sky. My limits are always small. I didn't even dream of dreaming about him from the past decade. To be very frank, I didn't even want to indulge in his affair. He is just a star that glitters so brightly in the sky. But now I can't take my step back, I was anticipating for his reply with extreme curiosity though I already knew his reply. Of course a big NO. What was I thinking? But he nodded his head like a YES.

"What did you think? then why would I search for you? For revenge?" He said this with a big smile. He blushed a bit.

I could not control my emotions, my feelings, and especially my heart. How can he tell that so easily? I took I mean I'm still taking so much of time to tell my feelings for him. He just snatched me away and made this declaration. What should I do now? Of course, I won't reject him, not in this life for sure. He is the prince charming, my prince charming. This can't be true, I just wanted to dance and fly if it's possible. Am I a teenager to think in this way? But my heart is swelling with happiness. I would die and again take birth to live this moment.

He cleared his throat and asked me, "Do you still like me?"
