Chapter 69

KAEL.

"I love you, Kael." Adessa's voice came out soft, but I was sure I heard it.

My foot stepped on the brakes, and the car came to a sudden halt, making our bodies jolt forward.

"I'm sorry," she gasped as her hands held onto the dashboard before her as if it could stop her from slamming there, but she had a seatbelt on, so I knew she was safely tucked in her seat.

"Did you just say what I heard you say?" I asked, ignoring the apology that came out of her lips because I had no idea what she was apologizing for.

"Well..." She stammered, then flashed me an embarrassed smile. "You said it first."

"I said. So you think..." A smile tugged at my mouth, but my eyes were watering. "...it was appropriate and polite to say it back?"

I couldn't contain the happiness in my chest.

I had always been a storm, and Adessa was definitely sunshine.

It was easy to love her, but I felt good and exhilarated knowing this little ball of sunshine and butterflies had fallen in love with me despite the bad way I shook her whole life.

I was not made for sweet nothings, and I love yous, but for Adessa, I was willing to bend. There was no denying she could make me weak on my knees. The words she said were warming my whole being, and it was getting harder to control the tears brimming in my eyes. I was still smiling while she shook her head in response.

"No, not like that. But I hope I heard you right." A red tint crept on her cheeks as she dropped her gaze to her fidgeting hands resting against her lap. "That you want me as much as I want you."

"You heard me wrong," I mumbled, and her head snapped up to look at me. I saw confusion in her eyes, but I continued talking before she could say anything. "I said, I love you."
