Chapter - 11

Aaron's POV

"So, Will you be my boyfriend?"

I couldn't believe what I just heard, from the woman I love the most in this entire world. I thought it was always an 'impossible' thing to hear what she said. No way, she would confess me with a spark in her eyes that could easily beat a thousand stars. With a smile that's so soft and welcoming. I've been longing for this all my life, and I couldn't be happier. Her warm, beautiful eyes that glimmered like the starry night sky as she stares at me. Her soft locks swaying lightly by the cold air. She looks amazing, like a fairy straight out of the fairytales. And all of this caught me off guard...

"Are you not going to answer?" - She asked me with her cheeky smile, and it feels like the first time I've seen her smiling so beautifully, and it's not because Emma cracked a joke, it's not because she's making fun of her cousins... This smile, it's solely for me and only me. I want to protect it for the rest of my life.

"YESS! YES! I'D LOVE TO BE YOUR BOYFRIEND."

I grabbed her hand and pulled her towards me, which caught her off guard. I wrapped my arms around her deliberately small waist, wrapping her in a tight hug, no plan of letting her go even for a second. Now, we're sitting in this small and dark cubicle, 50 feet above the ground, holding each other dearly. For the first time in my life, my dream of holding her in my arms finally came true, and I can't describe how good it feels. Her soft breath hits my neck and it feels so surreal. We stayed like that for a couple of minutes before I let her go first, though I didn't want to let her go, at all.

"Uhm... Are we finally couples?" - I asked her to lift the mood, but she laughed out loud, making me embarrassed... I joined her afterward, and now both of us are laughing hard. 

"I just asked you out, and you said yes, what else are we other than a couple?" - She said before wiping her a strain of tear from her face. That's probably the stupidest thing I've ever said in my life... Never mind.

"I'm just... Happy, beyond happy, above happy. I am glad I never gave up."

"I'm glad too... Thank you for not giving up. If you did, I would probably never date anyone." - She said as she rubbed her neck frantically. Fidgeting her fingers nervously, she continued,

"I have an aunt, she's quite younger than my mom which is why she's closer to me than my mom, because of our small age gap. We're super close to each other, and she shares everything with me, including her school crush, her first love who embarrassed her in front of the whole school, making her life hell. She had gone through severe bullying because of him, and every time I heard about that guy, my blood started to boil. I got so furious, when I found out they are now dating. I assumed it was for her money. I would always nag her to stop their stupid relationship. But she never listened to me, and I just let go. I still don't know why they're together, but there's definitely a reason behind it. I don't think my aunt is stupid enough to let anyone use her, maybe there's something she had never told me, maybe. That guy was another main reason that fuelled my hatred towards boys even more. And you happened to came into my life when I had the worst example of boys lying around me. Out of my instinct, I started to hate you... I am really sorry for the way I acted before." - She said, with a cracking voice. I listened to her talking. Her face changed from that spark to a much droopy one, a hurt one. I couldn't help stroking her locks.

"Please... Don't be sorry. It's not your fault, I am the one who came into your life at the worst time possible. I can't tell you the details, but that day wasn't the first time we met. I thought if I didn't reach you that time, I would never ever meet you again. And the way I acted towards you, anyone would think I have ulterior motives or someone they shouldn't get involved with. I didn't have any clue how to approach you. I'm sorry I can't tell you anything in detail-"

"I know..."

"You... Know what?"

"About the accident, about you and me, all of it. Grandma told me everything about it, she says I deserved to know and find out the 'treasure' I've lost. Sorry for not telling you this... I wanted to regain my memories before I tell you all about it..."

"That's... that's surprising... But It's okay if you haven't regained anything. It doesn't matter to me any more, we will create all the memories again. We'll spend time like we did before, venture out how we used to, and do everything you liked to do back then. You don't have to put much pressure, it'll come to you on its own when the time comes." -I finished with a smile as I stared at her. There was an awkward silence, but who knew in a few minutes it'd be turning into something else.

My mind went completely blank when Bella flung her arms around my neck as she took place onto my lap, strangling me. I was beyond shocked... Honestly, Bella isn't someone who'd do something like that. Or I was wrong...

She looked at me in a lavish way as she kept on swirling my locks with her fingers. She looked way more than just sexy right now... I couldn't control myself any more. I grabbed her neck and pulled it towards mine in a heartbeat until our lips finally touched. It's so soft and tender that it feels like soft melted butter. I sucked on her bottom lips a little too harder, earning a small moan, which only made it worse. I'm going to lose it at this rate.

"Open your mouth." - I demanded in between and she cooperated shortly. I pushed my tongue inside of her warm mouth, sucking on the tip of her tongue frequently. I didn't know what was I doing, how was I doing, since I didn't have any experience to begin with, She was my first.

Bella was making small efforts too, trying to move her tongue inside, but I was getting way too impatient for that. I began to kiss and suck her in a rough way that I too never knew I could do, I couldn't stop. I grabbed her waist, pulling her closer to me until there's no space left between us any more. In a few minutes we both of us parted away, huffing for some air. Her lips were swollen by now, a small bruise starting to form. Suddenly, I got my senses back...

"I am really sorry, your lip-"

"You're definitely experienced..." - She said as she looked away. Does it really look like it?...

"NO, you're my first!" - I turned her face towards me gently, "I could never think of doing this to anyone other than you... So, how was it??" - I asked with high hopes, but she remained silent.

"Was I bad??"

"N-No... It was amazing!" - she said, not meeting my gaze, but I can see her face turning into a bright shade of red. Feeling extremely proud, I peaked her for the last time, and honestly I don't want to let her go, but I had to as it was time to get off soon.

"Thank god you liked it... I was scared for a bit. Finally, I can give our children some spiced up first kiss stories in the future."

"S-Shut up!"

On this very day, the starry night sky, the moments we have spent in this small cubicle of the massive Ferris wheel will always be in my dear memory. I want to wake up next to her every morning, have coffee and have a small chit-chat about absolute random things, talk about the beautiful past we created together, and grow old with our kids and... gosh I just can't stop imagining. Soon the time passed by, we got off the wheel while holding our hands tightly, promising to myself to never let go of this hand ever again. We found Emma right in front of the Ferris wheel and without any further due, we decided to end this day to begin a new chapter.
