" Jas, about what you ask the last time we met, " she looked at his face while her head was on his shoulder.

"About that," he feel ashame from what he did. He doesn't know what gone into him to ask her that, but he didn't regret it. And after so long, he was able to hug her cause he also misses him for so long.

" I also want to be your girlfriend," his thoughts has gone, and looked at her. She was smiling.

"Stop hurting yourself cause this is not a dream." she smile, the smile that every women have when heart belong to someone who will cherish it for a lifetime.

He smiled, "Thank you for entrusting me your heart."

"No, thank you for entrusting your heart to me first." and both laugh. It is not just an ordinary laugh, it is a laugh of a couple.
