Now, This Is Love, Rin Tan Qian Yong [black female authors .txt] 📗

fever at this rate!" I yelled at him. "No, not until you say you'll forgive me." Len replied solemnly. I retorted, "Len! Please! Now's not the time for this!" "No! I'm not leaving!" Len shouted at me. I was desperate by now, I wanted Len to just get out of the rain and be safe and warm. "I'll forgive you, please! Just get up!"

"You'll really forgive me?" Len's eyes shone with hope.

"Yeah! So come on, get up already!" I pulled on Len's arm as he happily got up. His legs were weak by now and he leaned against me for support. "Thanks, Fier." Len told me gratefully when I passed him a towel and a mug of hot chocolate. "No problem, but don't try that again." I warned. "Yeah," Len chuckled, then his voice got serious, "So, are we back together?" I stared at him hesitantly. "Please, Fier, one chance. That's all I'm asking for. I won't take you for granted ever again. I realised how important you were to me after losing you that day." Those words touched my heart and for some reason, I found myself saying yes. Saying I would give him one more chance.

Step Five

A little while after that, we were progressing splendidly. All of our close friends were startled by the unexpected turn in our relationship. Len had changed, a lot. He always made me his priority and would take care of me really well. He would walk me home no matter how short the distance was and would share with me his troubles. We were those kind of couples you'd fine laughing at each other's jokes and embracing in the public.

One day when Len and I were on a night stroll, Len suddenly fell on one knee. "W-What're you doing, Len?" I exclaimed, totally caught off guard. "I've been thinking, and nothing's more important then now. So... Will you marry me?" He took out a jewellery box and opened it to reveal a pretty ring. "Of... Of course!" I squealed happily and jumped on to him ecstaticly. "Let's decide an engagement date." Len flashed a charming smile. I was about to agree when a thought flashed through my mind, "Wait, will your parents agree? Mine definitely will but... Your parents..."

"Who cares?" Len brushed it off casually and I got taken aback by his response. Len used to listen to every one of his parents' words attentively. Len used his palms and pressed them against my cheek, squeezing them. "W-What?" I managed to mumble out. "Look, Fier, I'm the one getting engaged, it's got nothing to do with my parents. You're more important to me than they are, so no matter what they say, we'll get engaged." Len reassured me. I smiled back at him, feeling warmth in my heart.

Now this is love.
