"Look into my eyes my princess. I am really sorry for your mom and your unborn baby's death. And one more thing, I have heard whatever that you have told me but that doesn't deprive me from the feelings I have for you"
"What do you mean by that?"
"I mean I still love you and I wouldn't mind letting the whole world know. You are the second person I have fallen for my princess"
"No! No Max! I don't deserve you. Infact I don't even deserve you so please let me go"
As I was about to descend the bed, he quickly knelt down in front of me.
"Clodeth, please trust me for once and assure you that things will be alright. I understand your situation and I know you are going to find it very difficult to trust me because of my status and everything but please, they have no role to play in my personal life"
"Max, please understand me too. I don't want to bring bad lucks into your life. I don't want to ruin anything for you. And besides, a graduate like you should be going in for your not a classless and a nerd like me"
I said while holding his both hands and giving him an eye contact.
For me to be convinced by Max was not an easy task. I was not willing to listen to anything even though I also liked him. He had bent his head for long. What could be the reason. I raised his head gently only to witness him sobbed bitterly. His eyes turned red. I felt very bad.
"Come on Max, what's wrong with you. Over here"
I made him sat back beside me. I wiped the tears with my thumb.
"You don't have to share tears Max. Your tears are very precious to me and for how long are you going to do this? huh?"
" I will continue crying till you accept to stay not just in my home but my heart as well"
"And what is that supposed to mean?"
He touched my face.
"My princess, please stay here with me. Don't go anywhere please"
"No Max, I can not leave my siblings somewhere and enjoy good hospitality here. I have to go and..."
"Do not rush. I was about to tell you to go for them so that we all stay together as a family"
Honestly speaking, I got touched by his words and was about to cry but an eye he gave stabled me.
"But baeb, they are stubborn and troublesome"
"I wouldn't mind if they destroy everything in this house. I will buy new ones and let them be for the love I have for their beautiful sister"
I flushed.
"But wait. Did you just say baeb?"
I did not even realize I had said it. I felt so shy when he asked so I quickly got up to walk away, but he held me by the wrist and came to stand behind me. He rested his head on my shoulder and ran his fingers on my arm, then he scratched my palm. As he turned me to face him and he touched my lips, I felt an electric excited particles move sharply down my spine.
"I love you"
He said and brought his lips closer to mine but I intentionally rubbed my eyes to distract him.
"What is wrong?"
He asked concerned.
"I don't know but it's like something just fell in my eyes"
"I'm so sorry my princess"
He said after blowing air into my eyes.
"Shall we?"
I said in order not to wait for something else to happen.
"Yes my princess"
He paved way for me and I passed. I lead as he followed me. All those cars belonged to him. Now I could see the main structures of the mansion. It was almost like heaven and he was staying alone if not for the cousin that came around two weeks ago.
"Shall we, my princess?"
He said after opening the door in front for me. I entered like a queen. The way he treated was exceptional. With every single moment I spent with him, my feelings for him inreased.
"Where were you all these while Max? You are more than an angel to me right now"
I said in my thoughts while struggling not to cry. He drove carefully and smoothly like a gentleman. Max was one of a kind.
