Stay

Aria is sleeping in my room right now. She's exhausted, after all that happened today. She deserves to have a good sleep. She's not even okay yet, her wounds are still fresh.

Today is crazy, actually, these past few days was beyond crazy. It's like a roller coaster of emotions. I'm still processing most of it. But after what happened, i am still thankful that Aria is alright, what we've talked about, what she all told about her past, honestly i feel really stupid for acting all rash and not wanting to hear her out in the first place. She's been through a lot and i almost judge her whole existence because of what i saw.

I am happy that things all worked out in the end. She must have been so scared that she tried to keep it all from me. I can't imagine how exhausting it is trying to cover or hide something important and a part of her that she can't expose to anyone. Imagine telling all that to me?

An honesty that i don't think i deserve but i am glad that she told me. It feels like i can understand her more, i can try harder to make this relationship work for us. I can try harder to show her how i love her. I never even imagine to fall for a girl, to fall for her. But look at me now. Head over heels for her.

She saved me in a moment between life and death. She didn't even hesitate to risk her life for me. That's everything. Well, she is everything to me.

Right now she is sleeping so peacefully and i can't help but to cry. I feel so happy for her.

"You did well baby.. thank you for everything," I whispered to her as i caress her beautiful face and place a soft peck to her forehead.

"Hmm.." she lets out a soft groan. I just chuckled.

"Did i wake you up?" i asked her. She looks at me with eyes half-close.

"No baby.. come here." She said as she grabs me..

"Lay down with me." I gladly did so.

"Cuddles~" we both said.

"Soft Aria." I tease her.

"Cute.." She sarcastically said. I am hugging her as i lay my head in her chest. She is caressing my back.

"I love you so much Jane."

"I know.."

"Stay with me?" She asked me.

"Of course baby, always." She is now playing with my hair. It is her habit and i like it.

----------------------------------------

Weeks passed and everything looks so normal now. I've been busy at work though. Aria took a break from modeling. She needed it and i totally understand it.

She is so understanding when it comes to my work. She is so patient with me. What could i ask for? And now i a meeting with her for Lunch. I needed to say something to her too.

"Hey baby, sorry i'm late. I had to visit the hospital first." She said as she sat down in the table with me.

"It's okay baby how was your checkup?" I asked her.

"Fine, everything is perfectly fine now."

"That's good," I said and smiled to him.

"Also here, surprise.."

"H-huh?" I mutter as she took something out with her.

"Flowers.." Yes, she brought me flowers.

"Oh baby.. this is my favorite. Thank you~"

We ordered our food and while eating we talked a lot, catching up to each other. She looks anxious though or is it just me.

"Hey Aria?"

"Y-yes?" She looks at me.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes.. i'm okay, Why'd you ask?"

"Well, you seem like you're distracted."

"Oh.. do i?"

"Yes baby.."

"Uhm, well. I need to tell you something." Okay, i thought i was the one who is telling something today. But it's okay i will just tell her later.

"Okay what is it?"

"I.."

"Yes?" I said and let her continue.

"I thought about this a lot." I nod and not breaking any eye contact with her.

"And i think it is best for me if i just quit modeling." Okay i didn't expect that.

"Oh.. o-okay. But why?"

"It's not really for me Jane. I want to do something i really love. Something that i can be happy doing."

"Modelling is fun and cool but, it's not really for me"

"I want to do photography. I want to have my own studio." She added. She looks so happy telling me this.

"I see." Aria's been so in love in photography. So i get her point.

"Whatever you will pursue or whatever you like to do. You can always have my support baby, as long as you are happy with it. I'm with you Aria" She is smiling so damn much that it's blinding me. Not literally of course.

And now what? How can i possibly tell her that i am leaving Korea in the meantime? She looks so happy right now. I can't just ruin the smile on her face right now. Next time.

Let's just enjoy this beautiful moment with her.

Look at that precious smile of her. I am so in love with this girl really.

How am i so lucky? Damn.

"I love you.." She said to me as she grabs my hand and caresses it.

"I love you."
