Chapter 1029 - I am crazy about you (2/2)

Charlie looked at Emma and swallowed hard. ”What if it's… our money?”

”What do you mean?” Emma didn't understand the question.

”I mean… What if we get married?”

Emma opened her eyes wide and held her breath while his question echoed in her head. It took her a long time to speak: ”Are you proposing to me?”

”What if I am?”

”You barely know me.”

Charlie stood up and took Emma's hand. He guided her up the stairs and down the hallway, into her old room.

Emma walked in and looked around.

”Everything is exactly how you left it.” Charlie said while caressing her hand which rested in his. ”I come to this room whenever I have time and I imagine that you are still here. Sometimes I take the pillow and I try to inhale your scent which faded away long time ago. Emma, I'm in love with you since I woke up after my surgery. I opened my eyes and I was confident that I died because there was an angel in front of me… I know what drinks you like and what food you like… your favorite color is light blue, and you like sparkly things… and when you get carried away by the storyline from the book your nose crinkles a bit on the top… and you cry when animals get hurt in a movie… you see people for who they are and treat them better than how they treat you regardless of where they came from… and you are smart and caring and always willing to help anyone in need. Don't tell me that I don't know you because I am watching you for a long time… and if there is anyone with whom I want to spend the rest of my life with, that is you.”

Emma stared at Charlie without blinking. Did he just throw a huge love confession at her? Did he propose to her?!

”We kissed only once!” Emma was not sure why she said this, but she felt the need to point out that he is rushing things. Really-really rushing things.

Charlie smiled. She didn't say 'no' and he can see that she is not rejecting him. Maybe it is fast, and unexpected, but Charlie felt that he was on the verge of losing Emma because she is not sure how he feels about her and what his intentions are, and now she knows. And he hopes that she will not be insecure ever again because he belongs only to her, and so does everything he owns.

Charlie moved closer to Emma and placed his forehead on hers. ”Well, I kissed you two times, you responded once. But we can fix that… how many kisses you need until its enough? Ten? A hundred? A thousand? Give me a number and I will make sure we got that covered before sunrise.”

Emma closed her eyes and held onto Charlie because the room was spinning. She was not sure if the wine she drank through the evening caught up with her at this moment, or maybe his proximity is intoxicating.

”Say yes…”, his breath kissed her lips.

”You are crazy.”, she whispered.

”I am crazy about you.”, he whispered back, and his lips landed on hers.

His passion overwhelmed her like violent waves which crashed on her repeatedly with every move he made, making her tremble to the point of whimpering. Her lips parted, allowing him to deepen the kiss and they were both set ablaze by the wildfire which raged uncontrollably. And at that point Emma knew that there is no going back. The man who is holding her in his firm embrace and whose flavors are coursing through her veins is the one without whom she can't live happily.
