Chapter 444 - 444: Declaration of love. (2/2)
”No, I'm fine, thanks.” Mizuki rejected the offer while staring at him. Even though she felt her cheeks heat up, she didn't want to look away from his eyes. Seeing him look so intently at her somehow made her feel both happy and nervous at the same time.
”Mizuki...”
”Let me speak first?” Seeing him nod, Mizuki took a deep breath and said softly everything she felt. ”Theo, I don't know how this passion happened, but I know that I am no longer the same without you. I love who I am when I'm by your side, and I want to continue discovering each day the strength of that feeling that has taken over my soul. I don't think it's too soon to say, 'I love you!'”
Theo confessed that he was taken by surprise by this declaration of love that almost brought him to tears. He looked at her and realized that she was about to cry. One can imagine that she was quite afraid of being rejected, but even so, she still stood firm while waiting for Theo's answer.
Quite unexpectedly, Theo remained speechless. It was then that he decided to answer not with words, but with action. He got up without warning and stood in front of Mizuki. Bowing slightly towards Mizuki who was sitting, surprising her, he put his left hand on her small and delicate face as he approached.
Mizuki lost herself in the moment. She closed her eyes tightly and slightly opened her cherry-colored lips. Feeling Theo's lips touch her, Mizuki's body shuddered. It was the first time she had been kissed in her entire life, and she wasn't sure what to do. But it was an unnecessary concern, she was led by Theo and started to keep pace with his mouth.
When she felt Theo's tongue invade her mouth and taste every corner, Mizuki was also able to taste watermelon... She imagined that this was due to the fact that they ate watermelon for dessert, but none of that mattered now; she just wanted to enjoy this moment. Mizuki felt a stream of happiness running through every corner of her body as if she had been electrified.
The kiss was long and lasting. Mizuki was sure that her first kiss with Theo would be something she would never forget in her life.
”Wow!” Mizuki murmured when Theo pulled his lips away from hers. She was impressed; it was unlike anything she imagined. Without her knowing it, hot tears started streaming from her beautiful eyes.
Theo was terrified to think that he did wrong to kiss her so suddenly. He said hastily, ”Should I have not done this?”
”It's not that...” Mizuki wiped her tears and said, ”It's just that I was very happy and without even knowing it, the tears started to come... But, that was a yes, right?”
”Yes.” Theo was reassured to learn that she didn't cry because she didn't like it. He smiled as he put his hand on her face, and said, ”I love you, from here to eternity.”
”Theo...” Mizuki was very moved. She couldn't help herself and hugged him tightly while supporting her head on his belly.
Theo wrapped her in his arms and let her hold him like that until she was satisfied.
