My Heart only Beats for You

"You're wrong. I am not weird or quirky, I'm just mean and cruel," Selina said with a low voice, "Matthew, do you want to know why I am sad today?"

"As long as you are willing to share, I am willing to listen."

Selina told Matthew everything.

She lowered her eyes to hide her emotions, "Now, don't you agree when I say how bad I am?"

"You're definitely not bad," Matthew answered with certainty.

Selina's breath halted as she gazed at Matthew unmovingly.

Matthew looked at her, "Selina, girls at that young age are playful. Hence, it is normal that you do things without thinking about the consequences. You were just playing a prank, you meant him no harm. Selina, you are a really kind person. It pains me that you don't know that."

"But I have caused great harm to Brennan."

"That's true," Matthew said in a straightforward manner.

Selina's bottom lip trembled even more.

"Since it has happened, we can't do anything about it. Just as how you said that what happened to me wasn't entirely my fault, so is this. You did not do what you did on purpose and you did not expect that the consequences would be so grave. I'm pretty sure that most boys were made fun of when they wrote love letters to girls back in their school days. It just so happened that Brennan was a special case. We can only try to make up for it."

Matthew's words warmed Selina's heart.

She nodded seriously, "Okay, let's make it up to him."

After a pause, she said, "Matthew, thank you for staying with me through this."

Matthew planted a kiss on Selina's forehead, "And thank you for fighting my battles with me."

Selina then lifted one of her hands up in the air.

She gestured Matthew with her eyes.

Matthew understood and lifted his hand in the air.

Their hands slowly clasped together in the air and their fingers interlocked.

A smile appeared on Selina's face.

A smile also appeared on Matthew's lips.

"Do you know that when two people of the same mind get together, nothing will stand in their way?" Selina asked softly.

A glimmer flashed across Matthew's eyes. He replied in a low voice, "Of course I do."
