In the middle of the sea, two people sat down with a table full of delicacies . A bottle of expensive red wine was opened, it's wonderful fragrance has entered their senses .
There was nothing but romance in the air, it was a bliss to every woman's heart .
The poised man in an elegant black suit tenderly held the woman in white's hand, his eyes were filled with nothing but love and admiration . The color of their clothes contrast and yet, they made it so perfectly matched .
"It was me . I've been sending those letters to you . " Ethan slowly explained .
"I have always admire you since the day I sat beside you on class, the first time we met . I can still remember how smooth and elegant your voice was when you said 'hey' . With that simple utterance, I knew that my heart was snatched by you . "
Lillie can feel her heart skipped a beat, her cheeks flushed up to the ears . Her eyes has softened as she had them focused on the man that gently caressed her hands .
"But, I thought you hated me?" She finally asked the question she've held through the years .
"Hate you?" Ethan was dumbfounded . "How on Earth did my attempt of courting you became hate all of the sudden? I was practically sending love beams on your way back then . " He let out an exasperate breath .
So, all this time, Lillie misunderstood .
"I . . . I overheard your conversation by the lockers . You were saying that you needed to beat me at everything . I assumed it was because you hate me and felt threatened . So, I did what first came into my mind and that was to fight . " Her tone was soft, as if it was her who was wronged .
"I was talking to my father, asking him to hire more tutors for me to beat you . . . " Ethan's sentence slowly stopped, eyes glinted in realization . She did misunderstood . Anyone will, if they had not listened through the conversation completely .
"Oohh . . . " He expressed before laughing .
Lillie glared and said, "What seemed to make you laugh?"
"My dear, it appears that you did misunderstood me, immensely at that . "
"How so?" She raised her eyebrow .
"I was indeed intending to beat you at everything, but not because of hate . It was because you are so good at everything, be it sports or in academic, also, your talents are limitless that I felt unworthy . " Ethan confessed .
"I felt unworthy to stand by your side . That was why those letters were the only interaction I can send to you that tells you my feelings . "
Hearing his sincere confession, Lillie suddenly felt like it was her who has wronged him . With downcast eyes, her heart ached for him .
"I'm sorry . . . for making you feel unworthy of me . I'm sorry for hating you . I'm sorry for being the cause of your heart ache . I—" Ethan cut her sentence by grabbing her hand, pulling her towards him and sealed her lips with his .
The dream he longed for was finally happening . Her lips became even sweeter and addicting . His heart was beating so fast, his face was red because of the intense joy he's feeling .
Finally, they had expressed themselves to one another .
Lillie did not pull away, instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck and deepened their kiss .
Her cold heart has melted, tremendously . Those feelings she had for him has blossomed into a new hope . Hope for love and a new beginning together .
Slowly pulling his lips from hers, he had the honor of watching how Lillie gasp for air . The expression she's making made his blood boil .
Closing their gap until their foreheads and noses touched, Ethan huskily said,
"I love you . "
Her eyes were still clouded by vehement emotions yet the words she replied to was genuine,
"Je t'aime . "
