Chapter 122 - I fell in love with you (2/2)

Dropping the luggage; Ethan's hand find their way around her waist and pulled her closer, which she didn't resist. He wrapped his hands around her tightly, which Diana found herself doing the same.

The warmth is back! she didn't want to hesitate like earlier and regret later. She pressed her body closely to his, her head resting on his chest, but still awaiting his reply.

She wanted to know why? She doesn't think she's worth all this, but really didn't want it to stop. She's scared this is just a dream, which she might wake up from sooner or later and found herself in reality!

Reality where she's just someone that needed to hide and watch her movement. Reality where the two people that really cared about her, as she's their flesh and blood couldn't even show that affection. Reality where Ethan will vanish and this feeling will cease to exist.

”Diana! you're a woman. A woman that caught my attention, a woman that entered my heart and made me change my mind about staying away from feelings like this. A woman I want to touch, despite not appreciating physical contact from women almost all my entire life.”

Hunching his back and snuggling his head in between her neck once again, which make Diana subconsciously let out a soft moan; ”A woman I want to hold like this for the rest of my life and never let go. Just say the word and I will do anything you want! that's how much you mean to me.” he added and lifted her up, still not releasing her from his embrace, which Diana didn't even wish to break away from for the time being.

He was shocked by how light she is. It's like a slight push could send her flying off. His heart tightened, but felt better after breathing in her scent as he moved toward the couch.

With Diana still in his arms; he laid flat on the couch and positioned her on top of him, while Diana didn't protested to, but instead, buried her face at his neckline as her heart beat against his.

”Don't find yourself unworthy of a man. As long as feelings are involved, even a mighty king will come down to a peasant level to have her heart, not to talk of a lowly guy like me who's only craving to be with you and hoping you wouldn't turn me down.” Ethan said and chuckled, as he held one hand to her head and caress her hair, making Diana snuggle in between his neckline.

She's so touched that it's hard for her to stop herself from raising her head from his neckline and reach for his lips, but the feeling of creeping people out with her teeth still lives on even though her teeth is fine now.

She's still not brave enough to initiate such, as she isn't sure if Ethan will be fine with it. ”You love me?” she asked in a silent but dry tone, without any hint of emotion.

”I will reply with action. Words are empty, only actions matters.” Ethan replied and let out a grunt as he tightened his arm around her once again.

It felt like yesterday when he was struggling with himself not to call Nathan and ask to do a video chat with her, now she's here in his arms. It really felt good and made him feel happy.

”I want to hear it.” Diana said.

Ethan isn't brave enough to just say the word. He has feelings for her and want her, but they haven't started anything except knowing how they feel. He felt like telling her he loves her now wouldn't feel real, as he hasn't even done anything for her, being the woman that moved his heart.

Placing a light kiss on her hair, ”sleep.” he whispered.

”You can't say it? You're not sure?” Diana asked, feeling embarrassed that those words were coming out of her mouth, but those were what she had in mind now. She needed as much confirmation as possible to know this is completely real and Ethan's feeling is true.

Not hearing any reply from him, but only the tightening of his arm around her; ”please say it.” she pleaded.

”I fell in love with you Diana.” Ethan said.

”Thank you!” Diana replied.

”Sleep!” Ethan said.

Diana hummed in reply and soon find herself drifted to dreamland. But before she slept, a thought crossed her mind.
