Please Say You Love Me

A few Hours Ago!

"Who was that man that held your waist," Luciano asked with jealousy in his voice.

"He was the driver of Mr. Gadzhi who was told to bring me to school" she explained to him.

"Rosa you could have told me to bring you to school. Who is Mr. Gadzhi? And why did he tell his driver to bring you to school in a limo?"

"I helped him this morning. He decided to help me reach sooner since I helped him" she said explaining to him.

Rosa found it strange explaining this to someone. She doesn't explain her daily activities to others except her mother.

"Is this how a relationship is?" She asked in her mind.

"Alright," he said sighing. "But next time please don't allow other men to hold your waist, remember that you are my girlfriend, you are mine!" he said as he pulled her in his embrace.

"You don't own me, Luciano. I am my person," she said shyly looking up at him with her chain on his board chest.

"I know, I don't own you. But you should know that I am a very possessive man and I don't like to share. Besides you will be my wife someday, so you are mine!" he told her kissing her forehead and causing her to blush.

"Happy Valentine's Day αγάπη!"

"What does that mean? She asked stepping back to look in his eyes.

"It's a Greek word meaning love."

"oh!" that was all she said. She had forgotten that he was a Greek. Rosa still couldn't believe how she got involved with a billionaire's son.

"Are you going to the Black Valentine's party tonight?" He asked as they walked hands in hand in the hall of Hult.

"No. I am not," she said sadly. Rosa wanted to attend that party as she had never been to one before. She couldn't afford a dinner dress as she had to save the money for her mother.

Liao didn't ask why because he knew that Rosa was poor and couldn't afford to spend on her wants. He had done his background investigation on her before asking her to be his girlfriend.

For Rosa, he was ready to change from his player lifestyle; after all that was why his parents had sent him abroad, for him to change and become a better person so he could take over their business when he got back to Greece.

His family wasn't the type of rich family that hated the poor. His parents had taught him, that rich or poor we are all equal in the eyes of God

He decided to buy Rosa a dress for her to attend their party. He was willing to make Rosa see that he was changing for the better.

"I will buy you a dress. I have a surprise for you. I want you to be there." He said eagerly as he held her hand stopping her from walking away.

"I don't want you to buy me a dress. You don't need to, besides I have to stay with mom." She told him. She didn't want him to think that she agreed to date him because of his status.

"I want to buy it, Rosa. Imagine it as a Valentine's gift to my girlfriend. I know what you are thinking. I am not doing this to sleep with you and leave you. I like you, Rosa. I do. That's why I asked you to be my girlfriend. Whatever I buy for you, please don't think that I am doing it to show off my wealth. Remember that we are the same. Rich or poor we are the same. Black or white we are the same." He told her softly as they departed to their viral classes.

Rosa made up her mind that she would go to the Black Valentine's party with her boyfriend.

Leonardo Hotel Ballroom

It was already time for the dinner, Elsa called an Uber to drop her off at the hotel as she would be brought home by Eros – so there was no need for her to carry her car.

As she stepped into the hotel's ballroom, all eyes turned towards her, captivated by her striking appearance. Elsa wore a stunning black mermaid tail dress that hugged her curves and flowed out in a graceful train behind her.

Eros was mesmerized by her beauty. He knew that she was beautiful but today was beyond his and others' imagination. He was dressed in a black Armani suit with a red flower in his pocket.

The bodice of the dress was embellished with intricate beading that caught the light, adding to the dress's shimmering effect.

Her long, flowing hair was swept up in an elegant bun, accentuating the dress's intricate details. The mermaid tail design of the dress hugged her hips and flared out at the knees, creating a dramatic silhouette that emphasized her feminine curves.

As she walked, the dress flowed behind her in a mesmerizing dance, drawing the eye to her every move. She exuded confidence and grace, commanding attention with her effortless poise and stunning appearance.

Despite the room's chatter, her presence silenced the murmurs as everyone took in her beauty. Her dress was a masterpiece, a work of art that could not be ignored, and she wore it with the confidence and grace of a queen.

On the other side of the ballroom, Luciano stared at the beautiful red-haired girl with blue eyes. She looked so beautiful in red. Luciano never thought that by seeing Rosa in this dress he would imagine his wedding. He stared at Rosa's shy eyes as they danced under the dim light in the ballroom far from where Eros and Elsa were.

Eros walked up to Elsa after she entered the hall. He didn't have words to describe how stunning Elsa was.

"You look…" he said as he breathed out.

"Beautiful.." Elsa ended his statement with a smirk on her lips. She loved the effect that she had left on everyone.

Elsa felt powerful and loved when she saw everyone staring at her as she walked in. She was surprised by her confidence as it was her first time at such an event. She appreciated the fact that she had built a very sound and positive mindset.

She didn't feel like the child born out of a night that was not meant to happen. She had become mentally strong but at times she still faced the trauma of her being.

"You look dashingly handsome as well." She told him staring at the eyes that she loved the most. Elsa was so excited all of her checklist had been checked on that Valentine's Day. She was brought out of her thoughts when Eros took her hand in his left arm and guided her to their table. After they reached the table as the gentleman he had claimed to be, he pulled out a chair for his lady to sit before he took his seat.

While sitting and watching others dance they decided to know each other a little, after all, they were dates – and on dates, people learn a little about their dates.

They played the twenty-question game. Eros told her his favorite colors as they were: ocean blue like her eyes and white. He told her about his love for sports cars. He told her that he was from Greece and was the heir of the Kratos empire.

She also told him her favorite colors which were: stormy gray like his eyes, white, red, and black. But above all, she loved gray, black and white. She didn't mention the country she was from. She didn't mention her father's name. She told him about her love for music and how she played piano.

After they talked for almost fifteen minutes, they were famished. They called the waiter to order food. The organizers had already paid for the food, and when people were ready to eat they called the waiters or waitresses and ordered what they wanted.

Elsa and Eros order the most popular and well-known around the World fruit juices. They had a love for similar Greek and Italian food.

Eros ordered roasted Greek chicken barbeque, lamb kebabs flavored with Indian spices, and a bottle of Greek red wine. Elsa orders similar food with an extra plate of mixed vegetables, and a chocolate cake for dessert. She was a big eater, she wasn't choppy because of her daily exercises.

Eros was shocked when he saw that Elsa had ordered many dishes. Those girls he normally slept with acted like they couldn't eat because they would normally say "I don't want to lose my shape" but Elsa didn't seem to care about, how much she ate.

Despite all of the dunk food she normally eats, she was still in shape.

Eros wondered how the World of women works with their thoughts on having the right body to keep their men. He finds it ridiculous. He believed that a woman doesn't have to look sexy or have the body of a model before a man falls in love with her.

Even though, he knew that he wouldn't tell women about that – he enjoyed seeing them starving themselves just to make men happy, who don't really care about them but only sex.

After their food arrived they enjoyed the soft music as they ate. When they were done eating Eros asked Elsa for a dance they danced to the music "I Love You" by Celine Dion.

As their music played the two danced staring into each other's eyes. Elsa was so captivated by Eros's eyes, in his eyes she felt safe in his arms, she felt happy, she felt love – his eyes shined with love and admiration for her.

She wished that he could whisper those three words to her "I love you.." she sang in her head. "Eros please say you love me too… these three words could change our lives forever…" she sang in her head as they danced to the music.

After they were done dancing, Eros decided to impress Elsa by playing a song for her to capture her heart more, after all, he was the ladies' man. He knew how to play chess to get them. In the other room, they had a massive golden piano.

Eros spoke serial languages as he was a businessman so he had to learn many languages to interact with his business associate. He spoke French, Italian, Greek, Chinese, Spanish and English.

Elsa had told him that she loved it when she listened to music in another language.

As a lady, she didn't know that it was a wrong move. Telling men what you'd like for them to do to impress you is why dating as most of them can pretend to take advantage of you because they already know what you go for.

Like if you tell a man, I love someone who will send me morning greets, roses, and chocolate you will check on it before the end of three months. But remember not all men or women are the same.

That made Eros more determined to flatter her.

He sang the song "I Love You" by Celine Dion in Greek.

"Σ'αγαπώ..." ( I Love You)

Πρέπει να είμαι τρελός τώρα… ( I must be crazy now)

Ίσως ονειρεύομαι πάρα πολύ (Maybe I dream too much)

Αλλά όταν σε σκέφτομαι (But when I think of you)

Μου αρέσει να νιώθω το άγγιγμά σου (I love to feel your touch)

Να σου ψιθυρίσει στο αυτί (To whisper in your ear)

Λέξεις που είναι παλιές σαν ο χρόνος (Words that are as old as time)

Λόγια που θα άκουγες μόνο (Words only you would hear)

Αν ήσουν μόνο δικός μου (If only you were mine)

Μακάρι να μπορούσα να επιστρέψω στην πρώτη κιόλας μέρα που σε είδα (I wish I could go back to the very first day I saw you)

Έπρεπε να είχα κάνει την κίνησή μου όταν με κοίταξες στα μάτια (Should have made my move when you looked in my eyes)

Γιατί μέχρι τώρα ξέρω ότι θα το έκανες να ξέρεις ότι το κάνω('Cause by now I know that you'd feel the way that I )

Και θα ψιθύριζα αυτά τα λόγια ως θα ήθελες εδώ δίπλα μου (And I'd whisper these words as you'd lie here by my side)

Σε αγαπώ, πες μου (I love you, please say)

Κι εσύ μ' αγαπάς, αυτές οι τρεις λέξεις (You love me too, these three words)

Θα μπορούσαν να αλλάξουν τη ζωή μας για πάντα (They could change our lives forever)

Και υπόσχομαι ότι θα είμαστε πάντα μαζί (And I promise you that we will always be together)

Μέχρι το τέλος του χρόνου (Till the end of time)

Σήμερα λοιπόν, επιτέλους βρίσκω το κουράγιο βαθιά μέσα μου (So today, I finally find the courage deep inside)

Απλά για να περπατήσω μέχρι την πόρτα σας (Just to walk right up to your door)

Αλλά το σώμα μου δεν μπορεί να κουνηθεί όταν τελικά το πάρω (But my body can't move when I finally get to it)

Όπως και χίλιες φορές πριν (Just like a thousand times before)

Έπειτα, χωρίς λέξη, έδωσε μου αυτό το γράμμα (Then without a word he handed me this letter)

Διαβάστε, ελπίζω να βρει τον τρόπο στην καρδιά σας, είπε (Read I hope this finds the way into your heart, it said)

Σε αγαπώ, πες μου (I love you, please say)

Με αγαπάς κι εσύ, αυτές οι τρεις λέξεις (You love me too, these three words)

Θα μπορούσαν να αλλάξουν τη ζωή μας για πάντα (They could change our lives forever)

Και σου υπόσχομαι ότι θα είμαστε πάντα μαζί (And I promise you that we will always be together)

Μέχρι το τέλος του χρόνου (Till the end of time)

Λοιπόν ίσως εγώ, χρειάζομαι λίγη αγάπη ναι (Well maybe I, I need a little love yeah)

Και ίσως εγώ, χρειάζομαι λίγη φροντίδα(And maybe I, I need a little care)

Και ίσως εγώ, ίσως εσύ, ίσως εσύ, ίσως εσύ (And maybe I, maybe you, maybe you, maybe you)

Ω, χρειάζεσαι κάποιον να σε κρατάει (Oh you need somebody just to hold you)

Αν το κάνετε, απλά απευθυνθείτε και θα είμαι εκεί (If you do, just reach out and I'll be there)

Σε αγαπώ, πες μου (I love you, please say)

Κι εσύ με αγαπάς (You love me too)

Σε παρακαλώ πες ότι με αγαπάς επίσης (Please say you love me too)

Μέχρι το τέλος του χρόνου (Till the end of time)

Αυτές οι τρεις λέξεις (These three words)

Θα μπορούσαν να αλλάξουν τη ζωή μας για πάντα (They could change our lives forever)

Και σου υπόσχομαι ότι θα είμαστε πάντα μαζί (And I promise you that we will always be together)

Ω, σε αγαπώ (Oh, I love you)

Σε παρακαλώ πες ότι με αγαπάς επίσης (Please say you love me too)

Παρακαλώ παρακαλώ (Please please)

Πες κι ότι μ'αγαπάς (Say you love me too)

Μέχρι το τέλος του χρόνου (Till the end of time)

Το μωρό μου (My baby)

Μαζί, μαζί για πάντα (Together, together, forever)

Μέχρι το τέλος του χρόνου (Till the end of time)

Σ'αγαπώ (I love you)

Θα είμαι το φως σου (I will be your light)

Λάμπει (Shining bright)

Λάμπει στα μάτια σου (Shining in your eyes)

το μωρό μου (My baby…)

As he sang the song Elsa felt her heart rising above sea level. She was blushing furiously causing her pure white skin to shine in the dress she was wearing.

She remembered when she first started school while walking in the hall on her way to the administrator's office she dumb into Eros.

When she looked in his stormy gray eyes it was love at first sight. She was too shy to reply to his introduction causing her to run away.

When he sang the song she wished that she could have made her move the very first day she looked in his eyes.

Elsa thought that it wasn't too late and it was God's plan for it to happen on Valentine's Day.
