Acceptance

"Marry me"...

The words rang like a bell in Eva's head as Lee Ming repeated it staring right into her eyes. "Marry me Eva".

Eva's brain left like it was on shutdown the moment he repeated it. That same moment, several images flashed before Eva's eyes but it was too quick that she couldn't capture that exact thing she saw. "Eva?" Lee Ming called out to her seeing how she was suddenly so stiff.

"Yes?" Eva managed to answer. Lee Ming stared at her waiting for what she was going to say concerning his request.

"Uhmm...Are you joking with me?" Eva questioned as she got down from his thigh and gave herself a little space from him. But instead of giving her an answer, he stood up and dipped himself in the water. His actions were so quick and it confused Eva.

"Lee Ming?" Eva called out seeing that Lee Ming had swam below the surface and she couldn't see him.
