"If I had it my way? No, I wouldn't have." He stated blankly. She looked down at her food disappointed in his response, tears stinging her eyes. "Instead," he continued. "I would've properly taken you on dates, had you meet my ma and fall in love with me properly. But since I couldn't do it the way I should've been able to, I can only do it now and hope I don't screw it up. He finished with a sad smile. She looked up smiling, wiping away the tear she let fall, "and what about letting me make you fall for me?" She questioned coming off more excited and curious than she intended it to be. "Since we have an honesty policy and I am forbidden from lying to you, you wouldn't have had to. I've been in love with you since I looked into your eyes, I'm pretty sure that's what would happen every time no matter how we met." _____________________________________________ © Copyright 2022 All work is property of @xoaiki any duplication or reproduction of all or part of the work without explicit permission by the author is illegal. _____________________________________________ #1 authorsnote #1 hazel eyes
