"Wait for me in the underground parking lot. I will reach there in ten minutes," Lawrence replied, as he stepped on the gas.
Hearing that, Aria basked in delight. She said gladly, "Okay. See you soon."
Lawrence ended the call. He grasped the steering wheel with hands glee shining in his eyes.
Aria stood in the parking lot waiting anxiously. As Lawrence's car appeared in her sight, she waved her hand at him cheerfully.
Lawrence drove in her direction and parked his car as soon as he could.
As he got out, he made his way towards his girlfriend. Coming close to her, he glanced deep into her eyes.
"I've missed you so much, Larry," Aria blurted out. Losing all control on her emotions, she stretched out and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Instead of replying, Lawrence softly pressed his lips on hers.
After a long time, Lawrence let go of her. His passionate kiss expressed how much he had missed her.
Looking at Lawrence dotingly, Aria said, "Although you have left me just yesterday, I feel as if we have been seperated for a month."
He cupped her face gently, and said calmly, "Perhaps we won't be able to meet every day."
"Have you been busy recently?" Aria asked.
"Yes. I have to handle the stuff in the company. Besides, my parents just came back. They might need me at any time," Lawrence answered. At present, he thought that he had little time to keep Aria company. He had no intention of introducing her to his family now.
"I see," Aria replied in a low voice. She understood that Lawrence needed to spend more time with his family. But at the thought she couldn't meet him frequently, she couldn't help but feel upset.
"Are you angry at me?" Lawrence asked. He could tell by her expression that she was slightly disappointed.
"No, I am not. I feel a little depressed because I have to live alone in the apartment," Aria replied frankly. She hid nothing from Lawrence for he knew all about her flaws and nature. "We usually live together. Even when we fought, we still lived together. But you have moved out suddenly and I don't know when you will come back. I feel insecure," she added with grief.
Lawrence knew her thoughts. 'She has been accustomed to having me by her side. Even I hate to leave her. It must be hard for her to take, ' he mused.
"I will find an opportunity and tell my parents about us. If they agree, we can live together. This way, we will be able to meet every day," Lawrence responded.
"Really?" Aria exclaimed, her eyes shining with excitement.
"It's true. Believe me," Lawrence reassured her. 'Even though I can't give her any promise, I will try my best to persuade my family to accept her and thus make her happy, ' he resolved.
"Oh, Larry," Aria said as she gave him a tight hug.
