My relationship with Manuel was moving too fast, I mean we haven't even dated for a month but it did seem like we have been together for year and that scared me. one day he reached out to me and asked me to come over to his place since he was on break from work for three days, I went to meet him.
"come with me, let's go and sit over there, isn't it nice. the view here is amazing. it's quite and very relaxing, come sit down with me" he said
and indeed the view was soothing and I went to sit down, he stared straight and quiet till he spoke
"Eve, I've been thinking about you a lot lately"
"why? I asked
"even I don't know but all I know is I've been thinking about you a lot lately and it scares me, there's a whole lot running through my mind and heart and I need an assurance from you"
"what is it'
"I feel things are moving too fast between us and I'm scared because I'm falling too deep in love with you and I get scared because I know you don't feel the same way as I do. don't get me wrong I am not rushing you to love me like I do you but please tell me something that will make me feel safe''
"what makes you think I don't feel the same way about you? I asked
"I have told you I love you so many times but you haven't been able to say same to me and as I said I'm not rushing you to feel that but I want to hear from you that there's a room for me in your heart, at least tell me that there's a hope that you will feel the same way for me someday and I will wait. I love you so much and I don't want to lose you, tell me if there's something that I need to do to make you love me, something that if I do and don't know will make you feel the same"
"I don't know what tommorow has for us but all I know is that the fact that I have agreed to date you means am ready to be with you and accept all the feelings that comes with it" I said.
he paused for a moment and I heard him sign and smiled at me and said
"let's forget about this even if you don't love me now I will make you love me" and I smiled at him and he continued
"Eve! what scares you the most?''
