Sarah woke up to the sound of sunlight streaming through the window. She stretched, feeling a sense of disorientation. Where was she?
As she sat up, she realized that she was in Alexander's bedroom. Memories of the previous night came flooding back. They had argued, and she had stormed out of the office. But then Alexander had caught up to her, and they had kissed.
Sarah felt a flush rise to her cheeks as she remembered the passion of their kiss. She had never felt that way before.
Just then, Alexander walked into the room, a cup of coffee in his hand. "Good morning," he said, smiling.
Sarah smiled back, feeling a sense of shyness. "Good morning."
Alexander handed her the coffee, and she took a sip, feeling the warmth spread through her body.
"I'm sorry about last night," Alexander said, his voice low and sincere. "I was out of line. I shouldn't have yelled at you like that."
Sarah shook her head. "It's okay. I understand. You were just trying to protect me."
Alexander nodded. "I was. But that's no excuse for my behavior. I promise to do better in the future."
Sarah smiled, "I appreciate that."
Alexander sat down beside her on the bed, his eyes locked on hers. "Sarah, I have to tell you something. I've been wanting to tell you for a long time, but I've been too afraid."
Sarah's heart skipped a beat. "What is it?"
Alexander took a deep breath. "I have feelings for you, Sarah. Strong feelings. I've been trying to hide them, but I couldn't anymore."
Sarah replied surprisingly. "Alexander, I... I had no idea."
Alexander nodded. "I know. I've been trying to keep it hidden. But I couldn't help the way I feel. I love you, Sarah."
Sarah's heart melted at his words. "I love you too, Alexander," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Alexander's face lit up with joy. "Really?"
Sarah nodded, smiling. "Really."
Alexander pulled her into his arms, holding her close. "I'm so glad," he whispered. "I was afraid of losing you."
Sarah laughed. "You're not going to lose me," she said. "I'm right here."
Alexander smiled, his eyes shining with happiness. "I'm glad. So, will you be my girlfriend?"
Sarah nodded, feeling so excited. "Yes, I'd love to."
Alexander grinned, pulling her into a passionate kiss. Sarah felt like she was melting into his arms, like she was exactly where she was meant to be.
As they broke apart for air, Alexander smiled at her. "I'm so glad we're doing this," he said. "I promise to make you happy."
Sarah smiled back. "I promise to make you happy too," she said.
"I have to ask you something," Alexander said, his voice low and serious.
Sarah looked up at him, curious. "What is it?"
Alexander hesitated for a moment before speaking. "I know you went out with Ryder the other night. I want to know if there's anything going on between you two."
Sarah felt a surge of surprise. "Alexander, I... I don't know what to say."
Alexander's expression turned serious. "Just tell me the truth. Are you interested in him?"
Sarah shook her head. "No, I'm not. I was just trying to get over my feelings for you."
Alexander's face lit up with relief. "Oh, thank God," he said. "I was worried that I had lost you to him".
She smiled briefly. "You'll never lose me," she said. "I'm yours now."
Alexander grinned, pulling her into a passionate kiss. Sarah felt like she was melting into his arms, like she was exactly where she was meant to be.
As they broke apart for air, Alexander smiled at her. "I love you," he said.
Sarah smiled back, feeling a sense of joy. "I love you too," she said.
And as they hugged each other tightly, Sarah knew that this was just the beginning of their love story and she was ready to face whatever comes her way.
