Chapter 355 - 352: Wedding Song II (1/2)

Geoffrey saw that Serena stopped playing and was in tears. Thus, he walked over to sit beside her on the stool. He wrapped his arms around her as he asked, ”Are you alright?”

Serena wrapped her arms around him too. Then, she took a deep breath, calming herself. ”I'm alright, don't worry. I'm just a bit overwhelmed by my emotions.”

”We can do this another day then. I can wait.” He whispered as he kissed the top of her head.

Serena looked up and saw Geoffrey's worried expression. She smiled to reassure him. ”Geoffrey… I know I never told you, and… I think that this is a bit late, but I still have to say this to you now… I… I love you. And I'm sorry for the times I purposely ignored your feelings…”

Geoffrey felt his heart stutter. The more she was honest and kind to him, the more she was loving him, the more guilty he was. He shook his head. He has everything he ever wanted now. He would not destroy it by letting his guilt eat him. He was happy. To hear her finally say the words, his heart was exuberant. He smiled back, ”and now, I am the luckiest man in the world. I love you too, Serena.”

Serena sniffed a little. She was the lucky one.

Geoffrey pulled his handkerchief from his breast pocket to hand it to her. ”You can blow your nose on this.” He said, lightening the mood.

Serena laughed as she received it. ”I can't possibly…” then she shook her head. ”Since we will be wed soon, I think I should be able to do this in front of you.”

Geoffrey this time also laughed. ”Please feel free to do so. Just my only request is for you to stop those tears, I feel like my heart is being prickled by thousands of needles seeing you with them”

”Okay… that's a deal.” She answered as she blew her nose using his handkerchief. It was almost disgusting, and she felt so embarrassed.

Geoffrey could only think that her doing that in front of him was also adorable. He never saw this side of her before as he always saw Serena as perfection.

”Okay, I'm done. Now, stand at the side again, I will sing you the song for real this time.” She instructed.

Geoffrey followed her instruction and stood at the side. He gave her that look again, the one which she now understood as him knowing that she was being unreasonable but since he loved her, he was willing to spoil her.

Serena knew how truly blessed she was. She started playing the piano again. Before she began singing the first line of the song, she looked at Geoffrey whose eyes were on her wearing a small smile, his expression full of gentleness. What did she ever do to deserve his love?

Anyhow, she thanked Kenny Loggins and the other people who sang this song before her.

”Are those your eyes?

Is that your smile?

I've been looking at you forever

Yet I never saw you before

Are these your hands

Holdin' mine

Now I wonder how,

I could've been so blind…

For the first time

I am looking in your eyes,

For the first time

I'm seein' who you are

I can't believe how much I see

When you're lookin' back at me

Now I understand what love is,
