After a deep inhale and long exhale, she finally expresses what she feels now... "A-Andrew… to be honest, I also feel comfortable around you. I always want to meet you. I'm always happy to hear your voice… and...and" she slowly lowered her face, couldn't bear to see him in the eyes... and with her soft voice she said, "I like it when you kiss me...My heart is always beating when I see you. Can this be said, I like you too?" she stopped, then covering her blushing face with her hand.
She heard Andrew chuckle. She was even more embarrassed.
Suddenly she was in Andrew's arms.
He hugged her.
"Yes, it can be said like that." Andrew's voice sounded very happy. "Mel, I'll ask you one more time... Do you like me?"
Silent.
Andrew rested his chin on her head. And his hands embraced her slender waist.
"Yes, Andrew... I thought I liked you," she said.
She felt relieved after expressing how she felt about him.
