Chapter 220 - He likes me ?!....... (2/2)

' I never thought that a good looking person like him........would confess to a plain and stubborn girl like me . It doesn't seem right ! Still....Florence isn't like those other boys that would play a prank on me and telling me they love me just to trick me when I say yes...No !.......He is a great guy but I don't think that I can give him my heart . I only want to stay by his side as a friend or rather.....as one of those best friends types........Haaaaaa.......! How did things turn out this way ?!.....I don't remember ever doing something to make him misunderstand my actions . I would feel incredibly bad if I made him misunderstand me.....AGHH !!! Why me ?!...I don't wanna hurt him , yet I don't have any other way to make myself clear . If I reject him , his pride will be hurt . My presence will remind him of the unpleasant rejection and he will no longer be my friend.........How would I wish that this was just a lie and he played a prank on me ! That way , I wouldn't be forced to be the bad guy......It feels awful ! ' thought Aria with a dejected expression .

She hated the thought that she had to hurt Florence by rejecting him but there was no the way that she could accept . Her heart did skip a beat for him once but that beat , wasn't strong enough to make her heart pound .

” Aria !...Aria ! ” said a voice coming from outside .

” Who ??..... ” said Aria surprised and went at the window to check .

” Wait ! Don't open the curtain ! Please , come down ! ” said the voice again .

When Aria heard it and immediately recognized that it was Florence's voice .

' What is he doing ?!...Well , I guess that this came as a bit too unexpected . A millionaire surgeon confessing his love to me.......Seriously ! Don't kid me ! I am not crazy enough to believe that such a good chance would be bestowed on me.......I know the meter of my luck and my case is far away from being lucky . ' thought Aria with a sight and looked at Aden .

” Aden ! Please don't do anything and watch TV quietly for a couple of minutes . Sister will be back soon . ” said Aria with a smile and Aden nodded his head .

” Dada ! ” said Aden and went back to watching TV .

Aria went out of the door and looked at the stairs . She didn't know how to face him right now . She was afraid that she would hurt him . Aria liked Florence but only as a good friend to whom she could talk too and even have a good time while chatting and going for a walk .

When Aria was about to step outside , she saw a weird light . She opened the door and to her surprise , the pathway was filled with red rose petals . At the corner of the pathway , the fire coming from the gold candles , lighted the way .

She looked ahead and Florence was standing right in front of her with a giant bouquet of roses in his hands . He was wearing a black formal suit , his expensive Rolex watch and his shoes also looked expensive . His hair was combed and he was all dressed up . At first sight , he was the perfect prince charming of the night with his amazingly handsome aura .

' ....Wow !....Who am I ?!......Where am I ?!....Is this really the garden of my apartment ?! ' thought Aria while looking at the dreamy romantic atmosphere that Florence had made .

Her thoughts were a mess to the point that she lost sense of reality .

Florence looked at Aria's surprised expression and laughed a little .

' She must have been surprised . I can tell that she likes what I did . ' thought Florence with his cheeks blushing a little .

He walked a few steps towards Aria then looked at her with a warm expression .

” Aria !...I hope that you like what I have prepared . This is especially for you .” said Florence .

” For me ?!..... ” said Aria with half a smile .

” I know that you are surprised but.....I couldn't think of a better way to express my feelings to you than filling your pathway with delicate roses like yourself . You are just like a rose . You need care and to be treated well so that you can grow even prettier than you already are . This red color that they have......represents the deep affection that I have for you inside my heart . In my world , feelings are restricted but my heart can't stop beating each time it sees you . A weird reaction on which I have no control over . From the moment that we met I could tell that you were a special girl . With the time that we spent together , my affection towards you became deeper and deeper to the point that it turned into a serious crush . I like you Aria ! I like you a lot....No ! I love you with all my heart ! Please...become my girlfriend ! ” said Florence with a smile and got on his knee , directing the bouquet of roses towards Aria .
