515 Because its You. (2/2)

Perhaps, his answer was the answer of many couples on why they chose and kept choosing their partners: they would probably also answer the simple \”because it's you,\” as well.

\”Well, that's my cue I guess.\” Sensing the built-up spring on the atmosphere, Churu whistled and with a poof, she disappeared. Still, before Churu left, a satisfied smile form on her lips.

\”How can you be so kind and sweet?\” Lexi helplessly sighed as she smiled. \”Sometimes, I ask myself if you're actually real because you're too good to be true.\” She humored.

Her hands slowly reached for his firmed cheeks as she leaned closer. \”I can find out, can I?\”

\”Hmm,\” Humming a tune, Ethan Lu voluntarily leaned closer and gently pressed his lips against her.

It was just a ten seconds peck and yet, both Ethan and Lexi were satisfied with it as his forehead rested on her forehead.

\”Did you find out that I'm an alien?\” He humored which made her chuckle.

\”I did.\” She humored back along with the waves of their lovely chuckles.

\”What? No, I should prove that you're wrong!\” Retracting his head, Ethan Lu grinned and without further ado, he carried her on her waist that made her squeal.

\”No, I'm sure you're an alien!\” In between her peals of laughter, Lexi continued to tease him as both of them crashed to the long sofa.

Ethan on top of her tickled her as he forced her to take her playful accusations back. After a minute, he stopped as he lovingly stared at his wife.

\”Mrs. Lexi Lu, I love you.\” Out of the blue, he expressed his feelings for her.

He already said these words as many times he repeated a sentence in his entire life. Each time, the meaning of these three words weigh heavier and deeper — along with his sincerity to love her for the rest of his life.

Ethan Lu, he would never get tired of saying it to her and hearing the same words be uttered by her lips. Although at first, he thought that these words were an understatement but actually, the longer he repeated them, the more he understood what it meant to love someone; as well as the responsibility and obligations when you said these words to someone.

\”I love you too, Mr. Ethan Lu.\” An answer full of affection and sincerity, Lexi responded as she leaned her head forward and placed a peck on his lips.

Their relationship and marriage life, it wasn't perfect— it was actually far from that. They had bad days, a busy schedule to follow, a career to pursue, and so on so forth.

However, those were all nothing if they were in the right person, right time, and right love.
