Chapter 91: Will you still love me tomorrow

~~Tonight you're mine completely. You give your love so sweetly. Tonight the light of love is in your eyes, but will you love me tomorrow? Tonight with words unspoken, you say I'm the only one. But will my heart be broken when the night meets the morning sun? I'd like to

know that your love is love I can be sure of. So tell me and I won't ask again, will you still love me tomorrow?~~~

The following day, David came to visit me and Cali and he stayed in the house for the whole day. He went to play with Cali, helped me cook for lunch and even washed dishes. We watched Cali's favorite cartoon series and after lunch, David and I watched a new romantic movie on Netflix.

But throughout the day, I noticed there was always a certain sadness in his eyes and since I thought that maybe it was because he's going back to New York by the following day, so I pretended I didn't notice it at all and did my best to make him smile. When the evening came and Cali was already asleep in her room, we sat on the terrace with both coffee in our hands. We watched how the stars twinkle above the sky with the silence that stretched between us.

A few moments later, I glanced at him and I didn't miss the sad smile that curled against his lips before letting out a deep, long sigh.

"Are you okay?" I couldn't help but ask when I heard him sigh again.

He glanced at me and nodded. "Of course, why do you ask?"

"Because since you came this morning you seemed quiet and in deep thought."

"It's nothing, babe. Uhm... I was just thinking about what would happen in the future."

"What do you mean?" I asked him frowning. I even turned my whole body to face him.

"What I mean is that what is gonna happen to us in the future." He replied with a shrug, but still not looking at me but the glistening sight above us. "Do you think we'll still be together ten years from now?" "Babe..." The only word that formed in my head as his question totally surprised me and made me stuck in my seat.

And that's only when he looked at me, well, staring is the right word.

"I love you, Sam, you know that, right?"

"Y-Yeah, it's the second time you ask me that question and my answer is still the same until now."

"I know and to be honest, I feel afraid. Terrified is the exact word if I will describe how I feel right now."

"But why? What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid of how I feel for you. I have never loved someone in the past the way that I loved you. I love you so much that it scares me, Sam. It scares me when I think that one day, you're gonna leave me and I have to let you go." "Hey..." I immediately got up and walked closer to him. "Babe, what are you talking about? I'm not gonna leave you and I'm not going anywhere."

But at that moment, even I, myself wouldn't want to believe with what I said. I realized that we felt the same, we're both afraid. It's just that we have different reasons why we feel that way. I'm afraid and guilty and because of that, tears started flowing down my face. David is a good man and I'll be a fool if I let someone like him go easily.

"Shhh... why do you always cry every time I tell you that I love you? Does my love for you makes you cry?" He wiped my tears before pulling me into a hug, but I immediately freed myself when I heard his question.

"No, silly! That's not the reason why I cry. I'm just so thankful and overwhelmed by the love you have for me."
