My Heart only Beats for You

Matthew was looking at a photo of Selina.

Matthew had secretly taken the photo while she was not looking.

Selina's emotions rushed forth to overwhelm her. "Why didn't you tell me you were looking at a photo of me?"

Matthew did not speak.

She stared into Matthew's eyes. "It's so late. Why are you looking at a photo of me instead of sleeping?"

Matthew was silent for a moment. "Selina, I missed you."

These words almost made Selina burst into tears.

She rubbed her slightly stuffy nose. "If you missed me that much, why didn't you call me or ask me to come and visit you? Why do you have to look at a photo of me?"

Matthew suppressed the emotions in his eyes.

Suddenly, Matthew stretched his arms outwards and Selina rushed into his embrace.

Matthew held her in his arms tightly.

The man's muffled and hoarse voice sounded above her head. "Selina, I didn't know what to say to you over the phone since I owe you too much. Besides, I'm troubled by the current situation too. I thought I could only look at a photo of you to quell my yearning."

The bitterness in Matthew's tone was evident as his voice reverberated through Selina's scalp, before it went into Selina's ears and then into her heart.

She bit her lip and said, "Tell me, how could something like this happen? Is God deliberately torturing us?"

Matthew did not speak.

His grip on Selina's waist became tighter.

The man's big palms were burning hot, and the heat spread through the thin fabric of his clothes and into Selina's body.

She raised her head to look into Matthew's deep eyes. "Listen, Matthew. My brother told me that he and Natalie experienced a lot of hardships before they really got together. Although we've already been through enough trouble, I think we're stil better off than my brother and Natalie. We can make it through this, right?"

Her eyes glowed with hope.

The glow made energy gush through Matthew's heart.

"Yes, well make it," he said in a low voice.

A smile appeared on Selina's lips.

"I'll stay with you here tonight. Having the real deal in your arms will be way better than looking at photos on a phone," Selina deliberately said in a relaxed tone.
