Chapter 380 Feelings (1/2)

Sophia was feeling slightly apprehensive.

Ali had wanted to have their date at a cafe outside of school. They had actually ditched co-curricular activities to do so, and the slight 'rebellion' made her nervous. Yet excited. Yet worried.

Why here?

To avoid suspicion, they had agreed to meet up here separately. It would be easier to slip out and not get caught. It wasn't as bad as it sounded, though. It's just too embarrassing to actually admit that they'd be ditching class to go on a date.

When Sophia pushed the cafe door open, the slight tinkle of the bell that sounded as the opened door hit it made Sophia pause for a while. Such a quaint sound. She looked around and saw an extremely nervous Ali waving at her from the other end of the cafe.

The sight of the nervous Ali made her even more nervous.

An ominous feeling began to rise in her heart.

Was there another reason for this 'out-of-the-way' meeting? Sophia couldn't help the fear that began slowly rising up but she still managed to bring out a smile.

Ali stood up as she approached and only sat down when she did.

”Sorry for not walking you over,” Ali said as they sat down, ”And thank you for meeting me here on such short notice.”

Sophia tilted her head a bit at Ali's behaviour. Since when did he act so polite and respectful? It wasn't that Ali was normally rude, but he just appeared .. different.

He didn't look at her at first, signaling for service. After they ordered, Ali smiled nervously at her as he sat stiffly.

”What's wrong, Ali?” Sophia asked directly, not wanting to beat around the bush.

Ali licked his lips nervously and couldn't seem to look at her straight in the eye. The fear that had been slowly rising shot up quickly.

Were her fears true? Did he want to break up?

”Sophia, I'm sorry,” Ali began, his head down.

Sophia put her hands on her mouth, tears already forming in her eyes. Why? Was the thought that went through her mind. What did she do? What did she not do? Was this why he never truly shared about himself?

”I haven't been fair to you,” Ali continued, still looking down.

He had to say this all in one shot before he lost his courage.

He couldn't look at her for he was worried his fear of losing her would make him lose his mind. He knew that this was the best way of keeping her by his side but his brain and heart wouldn't work the same way.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

”I love you so much, Sophia, that I was so scared that any talk about my faith, and my family, would scare you away. I wanted to take my time and slowly talk about it to ease you into it but ... well ... I guess I haven't,” Ali said, finally looking up, ”I ... Oh my God! SOPHIA! What's wrong?!”

Ali was shocked at the scene in front of him. Sophia was crying so badly that her chest was heaving and her face was completely wet. She wasn't making a sound, though, as she was closing her mouth. Ali quickly dashed over to her side, putting his hands on her shoulders and turning her to face him.
