One More Chance by Jaycelle Rodriguez

Chapter 165: Sweet moment

***There is no better feeling than to love someone and to be loved in return by that same person***

All my life I thought my dream of being loved in return by someone to who I dedicated my life wouldn't happen anymore.

I've already stopped believing and used to think that maybe Luke and I were not really meant for each other.

But having him next to me at this very moment felt surreal. I still can't believe he's now holding me by his arms and telling me the words I only imagined in my head when I was younger. "Hmm... why?"

My eyebrows drew a straight line when he asked me all of a sudden.

"What do you mean why?" I asked in response.

"Why are you staring at me, sweetheart?" He asked again as he kissed me on the forehead.

"Oww!" A giggle escaped my lips and I looked away. "How did you know I'm staring at you?"

"I just know it," he shrugged, pulling me even closer.

We've just had a fancy dinner and now taking our time watching the beautiful moonlit Taal lake on the terrace of the hotel we have been occupying since yesterday.

"I felt your stares," a grin twitched on the corner of his lips.

"Because I just realized how handsome you are tonight, Mr. Williams,"

"I - I'm sorry, sweetheart, but can you say it again?"

"I just realized how handsome you are tonight." I shrugged, a mischievous grin hiding behind my lips.

"Ohh... is it just now? Did you just realize it now?" He then stared at me with wide eyes. "I can't believe you, sweetheart! You loved me for almost half of your life and only realized how handsome I am now?"

"Oh, my goodness, Luke Marcuz! Yes, I loved you since I was a teenager, but you don't have to brag it out, and mind you--- you said you loved me first before I learned my feelings for you!" I then playfully punched his arm. "Ouch! Come on, I'm just kidding," he kissed me on the forehead for I don't know how many times that night... I have already lost count. "And you're avoiding my question, sweetheart,"

"Huh? What is your question?"

"Did you just find me handsome tonight?"

I bit my bottom lip before laughing at his hilarious question.

"Of course, not! You already said that I have loved you for almost half of my life, so that means, I already found you attractive then. And maybe even when you get older, I'll still find you just as attractive as when I first met you." "Hmm..." I held my breath as a cheeky grin appeared on his lips.
