How It should have gone; 2

Breathe, Athena. Breathe.

But I couldn't. Holy fudge nuggets, I couldn't breathe air properly into my lungs. 

All I did was stare at him, feeling a mixture of shock and happiness.

The happiness part was understandable. To have the one and only Aiden Knight state with absolute confidence that he was in love with you was exhilarating. The shocking part was that I didn't think he would say that to me through the entire night or any other night. Or to anyone at all.

And the way he said my name was so natural, almost as if it was mad

e for me. It sounded unique and different.

I sucked in a deep breath when my mind fully recovered from the shock. Aiden Knight loves me- no, he said he's in love with me. But at the same time, I didn't exactly understand that. I could've heard him wrong. What is wrong with me?

I must've been staring at him for more than five minutes when I finally said. "You what?"

"I am in love with you."
