Andre fixed his gaze on her. When friendship metamorphosed into love and dating, everything else aspect of their friendship grows alongside it. She misjudged him in the past and they forgot about it
It is expected that next time, whatever happens, she would give him the benefit of doubt. She would listen to him and know the fact before passing judgement, that way, the past will not repeat itself.
How can she repeat the same mistake twice? It's only fools who do that? The only difference is that, some didn't raise her hand on him this time. But her accusations stabbed him deeper than the first time she crossed him.
“You're right. I was a fool but I promise you, it will not happen again. I won't give a chance for such to happen between us anymore. I was overwhelmed by what I learnt and didn't think before acting.
Point out my errors, as many of them that you can see, I'll change. Loving you is one of the best things that has happened to me. Anything you think I can do to make you accept my love, anything I am ready to do, work on myself and be the ideal girlfriend that you want.
I just need someone like you in my life to make me that great woman that I should be. Money, power, position and name hasn't added any bonuses to my virtue and character. I don't have that satisfaction that I crave.
I want to be like you, Andre. I want to be a part of your life, I want to share in your kind heart and simplicity, I want to learn to be innocent and pure like you. Please Andre, I saw my shortcomings after I met you.
I saw my inadequacy when I couldn't help my obsession. I am addicted to you even from a distance. I want to get closer, I am a novice in love and relationships. I'll definitely make a lot of mistakes, but correct me and put me right.
If you think my love is not enough, tell me what I should do to earn your cravings. Tell me how I should behave to be a proper woman, to be your kind of woman and make you fall in love with me.
This feeling, I can't exchange it for anything else in the world. I want to savour it for the rest of my life and I beg you that you love me back,Andre, please love me…” she sniffled.
At this time, she wasn't the one holding Andre's hand, it's the other way round. He was giving her sweaty palm a soft massage. His fury has been abated. His displeasure has been appeased and now, he was blaming himself for his hard words.
Why did he say such things to her? It was too much on his part. If what she did was wrong, it doesn't mean he should use harsh words on her. Now, she's feeling so inadequate and unworthy.
“Cam, I was too hard on you. I'm sorry” Andre apologised. How can suddenly start acting like a super hero simply because she happens to fall in love with him first? This is not how to treat a lady at all and Camella deserves to be respected and treated like a queen.
Before she could respond, he added, “I am sorry dear. You were wrong but I was also wrong just now? This is definitely not how to treat a woman like you. Forget what I said and don't put it to heart please” he pleaded, forcing a smile to ease the tense atmosphere around them.
Camella suddenly paused. What did he say? He was sorry for being too hard on her? What kind of a man is Andre? She raised her head to glance at him and their eyes locked. For a long time, none said a word to each other.
They couldn't look away either. The environment went serene. The wind blew, making Camella's hair fly in the air. They didn't seem to know or feel anything else happening around them except the beauty in each other's eyes.
Nature was helping them. The almighty was bonding their heart together at the moment, the knitting was going on, no one, no one, the birds chirped, the earth seemed to stop rotating around its orbit, only their heartbeat was sure and certain at the moment.
Nothing else matters. At that moment, Andre felt a deep bonding with her. He felt he was holding hands with the woman he loves again. The next page of his life has been opened. A love unmistaken flowed down his heart like a waterfall.
He wants to hold her in his arms, he wants to caress her, possess her lips, claim her to be his, and remain in each other's arms forever. He wants to build a shield for her, protect her from the eyes of predators like Jack Johnson.
Camella saw his gaze gently turned from normal to a doting, gentle one. His facial expression became calm. Is he accepting her, is he going to try out a relationship with her? Is there a hope that he won't turn her down? Will he create a niche for her in his heart?
She didn't know how it happened, but he stood up, he pulled her hand, raising her to stand on her feet as well. Like a robot, he pulled her to himself but not once did his gaze shift from hers.
He raised his hand and gently caressed her hair, she felt the warmth coming from his touch, it's soothing. His cologne was dominating, the sudden aura coming from him was compressing.
She swallowed hard. He was going to kiss her. She could see it in his eyes, Adam's apple was rolling down his throat and she closed her eyes, anticipating his kiss. His presence was dominating her now. She circled her arms around his waist and as she swallowed hard again, she thought she perceived lips almost touching hers when suddenly….
