Chapter 188: What is going on?

"Hmhm... and I love you so much!" I could no longer find my tongue when she suddenly stood up and kissed me on the cheek as she grinned widely at me.

"Ahh... I love you too, my sweet bunny," I pulled her into my arms and kissed her on the forehead. I even gave her the sweetest smile I could have ever given that night but deep inside, puzzlement was swirling in my head.

It seemed like they were hiding something from me. I tried looking around for any clues and even stared at my best friend who I'm sure knew what was going on that night. Her lips were twitching and she kept biting them... a sign that she was anxious over something or maybe she was just trying to hold back her laughter... whatever!

"Why?" she asked when she found me looking at her but I just raised an eyebrow and gave her an even more intent look. "Whoa! Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked again, grinning. "I don't remember doing anything wrong to you,"

"Tss! Yeah, really! But I know you!" I replied without even batting an eyelash.

"Oh, gosh, Sam?"

"I've known you for so long that I've already memorized how many times you fart even when you're sleeping!"
