When The Love Comes

"I offered to go shopping, and you knew full well I said it as an excuse to spend intimate time with you."

Damn, he's right. I was sure those were his intentions, and he wouldn't wait until tonight. I knew he was someone who had no patience. I bit my lip hard, holding onto my dress tightly.

"Alright, Alexander, I won't stop you. Just come to your senses or we'll die."

He didn't lift his head; instead, he came closer to me while the car sped up. "Come on, I know you want this."

"Yes, I want to do it with you at a moment when our eyes meet."
