Chapter 282 - 282: Afraid To Lose You (1/2)

Last night's intimate moment between Bryan and April had helped him forget his troubles. Truly, April was his comfort zone. She relieved him from those stressful thoughts and finally, he was able to sleep comfortably.

He liked the feeling of having her by his side. She snuggled next to him and they slept in each other's arms until the sun rays coming from the window awakened Bryan.

He was lying sideways facing April with one hand supporting his head. He was watching April who was still sound asleep. He couldn't help but caress her face. His finger traced her features- eyebrows, nose, and lips.

That soft touch coming from Bryan awakened April. When she opened her eyes, Bryan's loving eyes and gentle smile greeted her sight.

”Good morning, sweety!” Bryan's deep and husky voice sounded very pleasant in her ears.

In her sleepy state, she replied while rubbing her eyes. ”Good morning, cutie.”

After hearing the word 'cutie' Bryan let out a soft chuckle before he gave her a peck on her cheek. Then he pulled her gently against him.

April jolted and became sober when their bodies touched. They were still not wearing anything underneath, only the blanket covering their n.a.k.e.d bodies.

As she remembered last night's passionate moment, April felt her cheeks burning instantly and her heart pounding rapidly in her chest. Bryan had awakened a desire in her that she never knew existed and never thought about before now.

Meanwhile, Bryan was also very engrossed in his own thought while he was staring intently at his beloved woman in his arms.

Seconds later, he voiced out what he was thinking as of this moment. He lifted her chin so that their eyes would meet before he spoke up.

”Every time I will wake up in the morning the first thing I want to see is you. Your presence always warms my heart. Just a mere touch from you can make my heartbeat into a frenzy.”

”And… every time you look at me like that with your loving eyes and blushing face, I think my mind is going crazy from too much happiness. I think I was totally bewitched by you the moment I first saw you.”

April felt touched by just listening to his sweet words. Bryan was telling her how much he loved her. She knew he was sincere in his every word. Between the two of them, it was always Bryan who was so vocal about his feelings.

Not breaking their eye contact, Bryan continued.

”I thought I had only a crush on you or it was just a normal physical attraction. But as time went by, I got to know you more. Then my feelings for you became deeper. I couldn't deny it anymore. I realized it was no longer a crush or attraction, but love.”

”But I could feel that you only look at me as a friend. I was afraid that if I confess to you, our relationship will change. I tried my best to hide it. I even did a lot of annoying things just to catch your attention so we always ended up fighting.”

Bryan and April laughed as they recalled the past.

”Yeah, you were an eyesore to me in the past, do you know that? You irritated me so much.” April admitted to him.

”Do I still look like that in your eyes?” Bryan pouted as he asked her that.

Her giggles bubbled up in the entire room. Bryan sighed helplessly while watching the woman in his arms laughing at him.

Seeing his ugly expression, April touched his face and said, ”Don't worry. You are a cutie now in my eyes!”

With those simple words she uttered, Bryan's mood was lifted. His eyes were gleaming in joy.

”Do you know how devastated I was when I saw you confessed to Erick during Rose's birthday? My heart was filled with jealousy and at the same time my heart was hurting when I saw you cry and heartbroken because of Erick.”

Rose was at a loss for words. She felt embarrassed every time she would remember that.
