Ch. 26

At the rooftop, I sat down and heard him spoke. It was very late in the afternoon, more like 5:30 in the afternoon. "So, I wanted to clear thing out before it's too late." I sighed knowing what he will say. "Ethan, its fine. I understand you. I'm sorry for what I said, I overpass my limits. I forgot what my right is." I said, looking down then he lift my chin up seeing his precious eyes. "No, that's not it." He said and continued, "Honesty, I do feel something for you and not just because you were an idol, it's because I do love you." finally, he already confessed. I closed my eyes and my lips curved into a smile. "I do feel the same way, Ethan, if you don't mind." I chuckled and looked at him. "You don't know how happy I am." He swung me around, not knowing that I still have dextrose on. I flinch on the pain in my right hand. "Ouch!" I back away my hand. "Sorry, I forgot you still have dextrose." He smiled and ruffled my hair. "Do you mind being my girl?" I froze and couldn't really move. I looked at him and couldn't decide. My mind tells me not to because he might leave me, but my heart does go for it. I then nodded and suddenly felt my feet being floated away from the ground and carried my bridal style. I shouted, "Ethan Smith!" I whined until we come back to the room.

I already got discharged in the hospital yesterday. I stayed home all day and helped Auntie Carol. "It's getting darker. I need to turn on the lights outside." I pressed the switch and went out to the balcony. I closed my eyes and sighed, feeling the cool air brushing in my skin that made me shiver and smiled. While I was standing there, I heard footsteps and I opened my eyes. "You like it?" hearing the voice made me calm. "Yes Auntie. Did uncle sleep here more often, unlike the other days?" she nodded and I smiled. "Maybe, he's not that busy at all." I said and she smiled. Then, she suddenly hugged me. I got surprised by her actions. "Sophie, thank you for everything you did for us. You quit your job of being an Idol and helped me cast away the bad thoughts. That was just thought Sophie, but you choose to be in my side." I could feel tears poured in my shoulder. All I did was to pat her back. I didn't know what to do or feel. "Don't worry Auntie. Everything is fine with me. You helped me a lot more than I did." I said and smiled. She break the hug and looked at me. "I'll help you with your business. I will take a class for baking and such, or I will learn from my close friends who has café." I chuckle looking at her. "Ok fine." I said and we went inside.
