Chapter 80 - [Bonus ]Boyfriend (2/2)

”Yes dear.”

”That….”

Meredith blushed and knotted her fingers.

”What Angel, just tell me.”

”Will you be my boyfriend?” Meredith said in one breath and closed her eyes in embarrassment. The flower of shame tainting her cheeks. If he wouldn't ask her out, she would do it herself. She nearly died and she wasn't taking chances again. Meredith wanted to claim him as hers, only hers.

Silence…dead…silence fell in the room. Seconds passed without him saying anything.

Meredith slowly opened her eyes and her heart lurched.

”That….I'm…just..kidding. ” She let out an awkward smile and pulled away from him.

She got down from the bed and scratch an invisible itch on her nose.

Atlas was still sitting in daze.

”That I'm going to the kitchen…see you there?”

Meredith said awkwardly but Atlas still didn't answer her.

She bit her lips as she scolded herself. Stupid Merri. Why did you have to ruin the mood?!

”Meredith!” Atlas called her when she reached the door.

She stopped and turned to look at him.

”Yes?” She blinked at him, fidgeting with her hands.

Atlas stood up from the bed and walked towards her.

”What did you just ask me?” He asked her, his eyes glinting with mischievousness.

”I'm going to the kitchen?”

”No before that.”

”Ah…I'm just kidding….”

”Not that one” Atlas sighed,

”Will you be my boyfriend?”

The corners of Atlas's lips curled upwards into a smile.

”Yes, I will be your boyfriend.”

Meredith blinked and opened her mouth as his words rang in her ears.

”Huh?”

Atlas shook his head helplessly, ”I will be your boyfriend. I'm your responsibility from today. Please take good care of me, girlfriend.”

An amused expression quirked up the side of his mouth as he stared at the shock look on her face.

”Dear girlfriend won't you say anything?” He teased.

Meredith blushed and a wide smile spread across her face.

”Kiss me.” She ordered and he did.

He kissed her like she was the oxygen he needed to survive.
