Accidentally, kissed?

She seemed disappointed. "So... Let me say this to you directly. Why don't you want the marriage?" he looked at her, and there he realized that it was her, the woman his mother was talking about that marriage.

"Ah, I see. I am not doing that marriage, Ms. Ana. I don't want to get married again. I... still love my wife."

Ana laughed awkwardly, "I know." he looked at her with a frown. "What?"

"You don't need to love me back. Just stay with me, and that will be fine," she uttered to him.

Noah chuckled while shaking his head. "I'm really sorry, Ms. I don't think you understand this situation. I... don't want to get married to you," he said to her.

"Are you playing hard to get, Mr. Brown? Or..."

"That's enough," he uttered to stop her from talking. Anatasia glared at him. She really wanted him to be with him. She really wanted him to get married to him. She plastered on a tight smile while looking at him. "I know you will come and see me soon," she said and stood.

Noah stared at her for a moment, but then averted his gaze. Ana smirked while looking at him for the last time before she went out of his office. When she went out, a deep sigh came out of her mouth and she continued to walk towards her car where Tyler was, waiting for her to come back.

When she went inside the car, Tyler looked at her. "Are you okay?" he asked her, and she nodded her head. "Let's go," he didn't say anything after that and started to drive back home. He was about to take a turn when she spoke, "Bring me to a nice place, Tyler," she uttered, and he looked at the rearview mirror, looking at her with confusion.

Tyler didn't ask her, as he started to drive her to a nice place that he knew when he was a kid. Ana was just looking outside, as she was so mad at what Noah had said to her. "I... I will make him mine. Just watch me capture your heart, Noah... Just wait and see," she uttered inside her head, unaware that they had arrived at the place where Tyler bought her.

He then opened the door, "Ms. Ana. We're here," she then nodded her head and went out. The breeze was cool, and it was calm. Ana could hear the waves from the shore. It was so calming. "How did you know this place, Mister?" she asked him.

"I just lived here nearby when I was a kid," he replied.

"Ah, I see. I guess that you had a wonderful childhood then. Am I right?" she asked, but it seemed like Tyler didn't want to talk about it. He remained silent for quite a time while looking around.

"Ms. Ana?"

"Yes?"

"What happened back there? You seem disappointed?" he asked.

"Dad was right. He didn't want to marry me. But, I want to make him mine," she answered, and Tyler was frowning and was confused while looking at her.

"Why? He didn't love you? Why marry him?"

"I liked him. So, I want to marry him. It was okay for him not to like me back. He just stays by my side, and it's okay with me. That's enough for me," she stated, but Tyler shook his head.

"No. That is wrong," he said to her, and she looked at him with confusion.

"What do you know? Have you even fallen in love, Mr. Tyler?"

"No. I don't, but... I think it is wrong and-"

"Stop."

Tyler looked at her, "Tyler... How can someone like you tell me what to do, if you, yourself, didn't fall in love with someone? Are you kidding me?" she asked him unbelievably.

He fell silent while staring at her. She was right, she had a point. A disappointed sigh came out of his mouth while averting his gaze at her. "Alright. You are right."

They were walking on the white sand beach. Anatasia closed her eyes while letting the fresh and cool breeze hit her face. When she closed her eyes, Tyler looked at her, without her knowledge, the corner of his lips started to slide upwards. A smile was still on his lips while looking at her. He seemed happy. He wanted to comfort her, but... he knew he didn't have the right to do so.

When she opened her eyes, he then started to wear his usual face. Ana looked at him, "Can you smile, Mister?" she asked, but when he looked at her, a tear fell from her eyes while she was still smiling. Tyler seemed confused. "Why are you crying, Ms. Ana?" he asked, but she just smiled as tears continued to fall off.

"Can you... just smile?" she muttered. Her voice cracked the moment she had said those words. Tyler stared at her for a moment, and then... The corner of his lips started to slide upwards when he looked at her. A smile was drawn on her face while looking at her. He then cupped his hands on her face.

"Ms. Ana?"

"Yes?"

"He's not worth it. So, don't cry over that bastard," he uttered to her. The way he looks at her. It was new and he seemed serious and wanted to tell her something, but something was stopping him from doing so. She then looked at him, "Tyler..."

"Yes?"

"You... look so handsome when you smile. Can you... smile when I am around? Can you just smile when you're with me at least?" she asked him that favor.

Tyler sighed before he spoke, "Alright, Ms. Ana." A smile was drawn on their faces while looking at each other. Tyler started to wipe off the tears falling from her eyes. "So... Don't cry. Stop thinking about him for now," he said, and she nodded her head.

Later that day, they both sit on the white sand. Looking at the sunset, Tyler glanced at her with a smile on his lips. He hadn't been able to smile for a while, but when he's with her, he can smile widely for her. When Ana looked at him, she saw how Tyler was smiling just for her.

"Thank you," she uttered to him.

"For what?"

"For smiling for me. Thank you," she said to him, and he chuckled. It was also the first time he had done that. He had been doing that just right now. Tyler had been blocking his smile for the past ten years, since his mother died.

"Tyler?"

"Yes?"

"I just realized something right now," she said and cupped her hands on his face, which caused his eyes to widen and be surprised at what she had done. He could feel the warmth and heat from her hands on his cheeks. While Ana was doing that, she then smiled at him, broadly.

The way she smiled at him, he felt that time had stopped. He could feel and hear that loud throb of his chest while looking at her. Ana was still smiling at him, but he averted his gaze, which caused her to frown and be confused.

"Why? Why are you avoiding me? Are you... afraid to fall in love with me, right?" she asked, and when he looked at her, he scoffed, "No, I am not. And... I will not fall in love with you," she then gritted her teeth while looking at him.

She then took her hands off his face, and then thought about something. "Tyler!" she uttered while snapping her fingers. He looked at her with a frown and confusion. "What is it?" he asked her.

"Could you pretend to be my-"

"No. I am not doing that," he replied to her, without letting her finish her statement.

She then rolled her eyes at him. "Hey! I didn't even complete my sentences. Why are you cutting it off, huh?" she asked him with annoyance, which caused him to chuckle while looking at her reaction. She then looked at him and scoffed at the same time, "Mister. Why are you making fun of me?" she asked him, but he continued to chuckle.

"Stop it," she said, and he stopped. When he looked at her, she saw Ana grit her teeth again. "I'm sorry," he uttered to her while bowing his head.

Ana rolled her eyes at him and stood. When she stood, she lost her balance, and that caused her to land on him. Both of their eyes widened while looking at each other. She was on top of him. The most shocking and surprising thing that had happened was... their lips met each other, accidentally.

Her eyes were still widened while looking at him, and it was the same goes for him. Tyler couldn't even move his hands while looking at her. It was surprising for him. Ana then started to get up and held her lips. " What happened? Did we... kiss?" she asked herself while holding her lips.

"My first kiss... It was taken by him."
