132 The Kiss

"Elise sweetheart…." Loriel raised his hand and touched her left cheek. "You are the most beautiful, the kindest, and the smartest woman I have ever known. I am so fascinated and enamored by you and I really hope we could take our relationship to the next level." 

He had not wooed any woman for so long and didn't know if he was saying the right thing. Being old didn't mean he knew everything in life. He was even nervous. 

"I am not good with this thing..." Loriel took a deep breath before he continued his heartfelt confession. "Will you accept my love for you? I promise to make you happy. I will do anything for you. If you would give me a chance, I will show you that I am worthy of your love."

He ended his confession right there because he didn't want to get carried away and say more than what he was allowed to. At this stage, he must tread carefully, not to say things that would make Elise confused.
