Happiness I Chose

*Juliane*

What? Did I...? Did I hear him right...? "Juliane... Marry me, please...?" And he did repeat it, this jerk isn't playing around anymore. He might've noticed my absent response so he suddenly sat on the side walk as he sighed ever so deeply. "I'll understand if you say 'no'...".

"No... It's... It's not it..." I had then joined him, sitting beside him on the sidewalk. He had his head down but then he slightly turned to me.

"Does that mean it's a 'yes'...?"

"No? – I mean yes – Oh no, no, no – Argh!" I panicked and blabbered various noises until I stopped and just leaned my head on his shoulder, "I… I really don't know… I'm not quite sure yet…". He then slowly took my nearest hand and held it close to his heart. "I'm sorry Kaleb… I can't answer you right away…".
