Chapter 184: Evening of Two (2/2)

Alice who was walking beside Kai also had a general Idea where Kai is heading towards as the sound of clashing of water can be heard louder and louder.

An open space appears before Alice. They were standing on the river bank with a small port and a medium size floating outdoor restaurant was docked on the port with lights on.

A man wearing a waiter's uniform came to the restaurant and looked at Kai and Alice.

”Are you mister Kai and Alice?”

Kai and Alice nodded.

”We have been waiting for you. Please head inside, he will be undocking from the port?”said the waiters.

Kai grabbed Alice and”let's go, I have this entire restaurant booked only for us.”

”Ah!..When did you do that?”asked Alice.

She is fully aware that she has not told Kai about the place they are going to visit before he returns to the dormitory during lunch.

”I took help from miss Delfonia,”said Kai as they both entered the restaurant and the boat left the dock as it floated across the river.

Entering the restaurant Alice found not many people inside.

Three were only four people inside the restaurant aside from them. Captain of the boat who was controlling it, the waiter and two chiefs.

On the deck, a circular wooden table was placed on a cake placed in the middle with a lighted candle on top of it.

”Happy Birthday, Alice.”said Kai.

Hearing that Alice was surprised.

”You.. remembered..???”said Alice in surprise.

”How can I forget your birthday? It was quite mean of you to say that. Am I such a forgetful person?”

Alice didn't know how to reply to Kai's question.

Kai smiled and held her hand as they walked towards the table only to pull out a gift wrapped inside a box and give it to Alice.

”Open it,”said Kai in a low voice.

Alice didn't hesitate to open the gift box and found a hand crafted silver chain necklace decorative with small gems inside the gift box.

”Thank you,”said Alice in a low voice.

Standing before the table, Kai looked at Alice and kept the candle aside to give her the knife to cut the cake.

After cutting a piece of the cake, Alice smiled and gave it to Kai. Kai took a bit and cut a piece for Alice.

As the waiter and chef came one after another to serve different types of cuisine on the table.

Sitting on the chair, under the shade of bright moonlight. As the river water reflects it's back towards the sky.

Kai and Alice begin to eat their dinner.

It was already 9pm when Kai and Alice returned back to the bank of the river as they watched the floating restaurant go away.

Alice looked at Kai who was looking towards the river with calm eyes and hesitated as her heart beat quickened.

She wanted to confess her love but didn't know what to do.

Kai also noticed a change in Alice's facial expression and wanted to say something but was hesitating.

Seeing his Kai smile, turning around he suddenly kissed her forehead.

”I love you, Alice”said Kai with a serious expression

Such a sudden confession from Kai caught Alice off guard as she panicked.

Looking at the panicked Alice Kai smiled.

'Even when she is panicking, she looks so cute.'

Kai as he looked into her clear red radiant eyes.

Alice blushed as Kai caught her hand not allowing her to leave and pulled her to his chest, to hug her tightly.

Being so close to Kai, Alice was able to hear the chaotic heartbeat of Kai as she also quicked in response.

After sometime, Kai let go of her. As they walked towards the town centre under the bright moonlight, while holding hands with smiling faces.
