Scarlett knew that she had hurt Calix, and she wanted to make things right. She decided to open up to him, to tell him the truth about her feelings.
As they sat down in Calix's living room, Scarlett took a deep breath and began to speak. "Calix, we need to talk," she said, her voice trembling.
Calix looked at her, his eyes filled with concern. "What is it?" he asked.
Scarlett took another deep breath before continuing. "I know I've been distant lately, and about what you saw the other day, I'm sorry for that. But the truth is, I've been struggling with my feelings for you."
Calix's face fell, and he looked away, trying to hide his pain. "What do you mean?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
Scarlett reached out and took Calix's hand, trying to comfort him. "I mean that I've been skeptical about our relationship from the start," she said. "I know it sounds crazy, but I've always wondered if you truly loved me, or if you were just trying to prove a point."
Calix looked at her, his eyes filled with shock and hurt. "What point?" he asked.
Scarlett sighed, feeling a sense of vulnerability wash over her. "The point that you could get any girl you wanted," she said. "I know it sounds stupid, but I've always felt like I was just a challenge to you, something to be won."
Calix's face fell, and he looked away, trying to process his emotions. "Scarlett, I...I don't know what to say," he stammered.
Scarlett squeezed his hand, trying to comfort him. "Just listen, okay?" she said. "I need to tell you this."
Calix nodded, his eyes still filled with hurt.
Scarlett took a deep breath before continuing. "Bastian is my first love," she said. "I know it sounds crazy, but I've always felt a connection with him, something that I've never felt with anyone else."
Calix's face fell, and he looked away, trying to hide his pain. "I had no idea," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.
Scarlett nodded, feeling a sense of guilt wash over her. "I know I should have told you sooner," she said. "But I was scared, Calix. I was scared of losing you."
Calix looked at her, his eyes filled with tears. "You're not going to lose me," he said, his voice shaking. "I love you, Scarlett. I love you more than anything."
Scarlett felt a pang of guilt, knowing that she had hurt Calix. She reached out and wrapped her arms around him, holding him close.
As they hugged, Calix began to cry, his body shaking with sobs. Scarlett held him close, trying to comfort him, feeling a sense of vulnerability wash over her.
"I'm so sorry," Calix sobbed. "I'm so sorry for not being enough for you."
Scarlett held him close, trying to comfort him. "You are enough for me," she said. "You're more than enough."
As they hugged, Scarlett felt a sense of clarity wash over her. She knew that she had been unfair to Calix, that she had been holding him back because of her own fears and doubts.
But as she looked at Calix, she saw the pain in his eyes, and she knew that she had to make things right. She had to prove to him that she loved him, that she was committed to their relationship.
And so, as they hugged, Scarlett made a promise to herself. She would do whatever it took to make things right with Calix, to prove to him that she loved him.
As they pulled back from the hug, Calix looked at her, his eyes still filled with tears. "I love you," he said, his voice shaking.
Scarlett smiled, feeling a sense of love and compassion wash over her. "I love you too," she said.
As they hugged again, Scarlett knew that she had made the right decision. She would do whatever it took to make things right with Calix, to prove to him that she loved him.
That night, Scarlett and Calix decided to take a relaxing bath together. As they soaked in the warm water, Scarlett couldn't help but notice the vulnerability in Calix's eyes. The fact that he had cried in front of her earlier meant a lot to her. It showed her that he was willing to be vulnerable and open with her.
As they gazed into each other's eyes, Scarlett felt a deep connection with Calix. She reached out and gently stroked his face, her fingers tracing the contours of his jaw.
Calix closed his eyes, letting out a soft sigh as Scarlett's touch sent shivers down his spine. He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close as they sat together in the bathtub.
Their lips met in a tender kiss, the warmth of the water and the intimacy of the moment making their connection feel even deeper. As they kissed, Scarlett felt Calix's hands roam over her body, his touch sending waves of pleasure through her.
The kiss deepened, their passion growing as they lost themselves in the moment. Scarlett felt like she was melting into Calix's arms, their connection becoming stronger with every passing second.
As they finally broke apart for air, Scarlett smiled up at Calix, her eyes shining with happiness. "I love you," she whispered.
Calix's eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled back at her. "I love you too," he replied, his voice filled with emotion.
In that moment, Scarlett knew that she had made the right choice. She was exactly where she was meant to be – in Calix's arms, surrounded by his love and affection.
