Chapter 41 I Love You

Amira’s heartbeat was racing. She pressed the button and heard Alex’s calming voice.

“Love, what are you doing now? I just arrived at my apartment.”

“Oh, I called Pris just now.”

“Really? What are you talking about? Didn’t you just meet her today?”

“Yeah, but you know, I promised her that I would let her know the good news. It turns out it happened sooner than I thought.”

“The good news?”

“Yes, you know, about us.”

Alex smiled and nodded. “Ah, about us. Yes.”

“Alex?”

“Yes, my darling?”

“Uh, I-I ….”

“What? Do you want to say, ‘I love you’?”

Amira giggled. “I love you.”

“I love you too, my love.” Alex smiled as he changed his clothes into a t-shirt and shorts. Then he laid down on the bed. He let out a long sigh.

“What? Why are you sighing?”

“Oh, I’m just tired. It’s a long day, but since you said ‘yes’, it’s all worth it.”
