***There is no better feeling than to love someone and to be loved in return by that same person***
All my life I thought my dream of being loved in return by someone to who I dedicated my life wouldn't happen anymore.
I've already stopped believing and used to think that maybe Luke and I were not really meant for each other.
But having him next to me at this very moment felt surreal. I still can't believe he's now holding me by his arms and telling me the words I only imagined in my head when I was younger.
"Hmm... why?"
My eyebrows drew a straight line when he asked me all of a sudden.
"What do you mean why?" I asked in response.
"Why are you staring at me, sweetheart?" He asked again as he kissed me on the forehead.
"Oww!" A giggle escaped my lips and I looked away. "How did you know I'm staring at you?"
"I just know it," he shrugged, pulling me even closer.
We've just had a fancy dinner and now taking our time watching the beautiful moonlit Taal lake on the terrace of the hotel we have been occupying since yesterday.
"I felt your stares," a grin twitched on the corner of his lips.
"Because I just realized how handsome you are tonight, Mr. Williams,"
"I - I'm sorry, sweetheart, but can you say it again?"
"I just realized how handsome you are tonight." I shrugged, a mischievous grin hiding behind my lips.
"Ohh... is it just now? Did you just realize it now?" He then stared at me with wide eyes. "I can't believe you, sweetheart! You loved me for almost half of your life and only realized how handsome I am now?"
"Oh, my goodness, Luke Marcuz! Yes, I loved you since I was a teenager, but you don't have to brag it out, and mind you--- you said you loved me first before I learned my feelings for you!" I then playfully punched his arm.
"Ouch! Come on, I'm just kidding," he kissed me on the forehead for I don't know how many times that night... I have already lost count. "And you're avoiding my question, sweetheart,"
"Huh? What is your question?"
"Did you just find me handsome tonight?"
I bit my bottom lip before laughing at his hilarious question.
"Of course, not! You already said that I have loved you for almost half of my life, so that means, I already found you attractive then. And maybe even when you get older, I'll still find you just as attractive as when I first met you."
"Hmm..." I held my breath as a cheeky grin appeared on his lips.
"So, are you satisfied with my answer now, Mr. Williams?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"Yup, very satisfied!"
And I squealed when he started kissing me on the neck, but when he stopped...
"Now it's my time to satisfy you, Mrs. Williams,"
"Oh, God!" I felt my insides shiver when I heard what he said. I even whimpered in excitement when he scooped me off my seat and started pacing toward the bedroom. "And what are you thinking of, Mister?"
"Whatever you're mind is thinking right now, sweetheart,"
"Don't you feel tired of it?" I asked, feigning amazement when he he frowned.
"Why would I feel tired when I love you with all my heart?"
"Whoa! You're now turning into a teenage lover boy, Mr. Williams," I teased him, but he just rolled his eyes.
"Whatever! One thing is for sure, I will still love you and forever be in love with you even if we both already turned gray."
"Oh, my--- huh!" My squeal instantly turned into a soft gasp as I felt the softness of the mattress behind my back and at the same time felt the hardness of his manhood between my legs when he dropped his body onto me.
He didn't waste any second and started nibbling my neck while his hand also started doing its job on my leg and then up... and up... until it reached my...
"Ahh!" I moaned in a sudden pleasure that consumed both my body and sanity. I even arched my body forward to him and closed my eyes to calm myself.
"Ready for me, sweetheart?"
A question that he doesn't really need to ask, but I still answered it anyway.
"Always," I answered barely a whisper as what he was doing down there almost drained my strength.
He then suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked me in the eye.
"You know that I love you, right?"
I gulped, surprised at his question.
