Chereads / Scarlet Ferguson / Chapter 18 - Will you marry me?

Chapter 18 - Will you marry me?

So basically it's been a year since I embarked on this vacation, literally going against my own words....but there's nothing anyone can do about it because it's my life. I changed my phone number and created new social media accounts just to avoid being tracked by Dylan until I finally decided to return back to Country Z.

AT THE AIRPORT

The plane I took delayed by an hour due to weather conditions during the flight. After checking in and everything, I returned back to mom's apartment. Luckily I still had that apartment. When I arrived at the apartment, many black cars were parked there.....it was Dylan.

I tried to hide but he spotted the cab I arrived in and quickly rushed towards me.

"Scarlet!" he shrieked

"Sighs...he never gets tired of calling my name isn't it?" I murmured under my breath

He hugged me. My chest felt tight just to see him like that.

"I miss you" he said in a deep hoarse voice. I hugged him back because I missed him too.....

"Me too"

"It's been a year..."

"Yeah....I know"

"You told me that you would return in 7months..." he said, still hugging me

"I'm sorry.."

"Promise me you won't leave again"

"I promise"

He released me from the hug and stared at me for a while.

"You look a little different...you look younger" he said surprised

"I do?" I asked also surprised

He smiled and hugged me again.

"Jeez....it's only been a year" I complained

"It feels like it's been years"

"Uh no please, it's only been 12months Mister"

"What kind of girlfriend leaves her boyfriend for 12months?" he said as he looked at me

"I was on a vacation"

"Whiles I was here, still working?"

"I needed me time"

"It could have only been a one week me time vacation, not a 365 days me time vacation"

"Look I'm exhausted right now, don't come and stress me with these lengthy talks, I just want to eat and sleep right now, yours sincerely" I said pressing my temples

He ignored me and asked me a ridiculous question.

"Will you marry me?"
