"Baby are you alright?" Benji asked. It's been so long since someone else was worried about me.
We had been together for a month then. I never asked him why he loved me - that question never did pop out in my head. Not until then.
"Benji, why do you love me?"
He looked down. I thought I saw his cheeks turn red - it was so damn cute, I could have just flashed him with one tight kiss.
"You know I had been looking at you for long. Since when you broke up with that jerk outside. You were always alone and gloomy, even if Rachel was beside you. I always felt a sense of loneliness whenever I walked past you. It caught my attention.
I was curious, you know. I kept watching you, everything you do - sometimes even to the extent of eavesdropping your conversation with someone. I thought, Wow, she's such an amazing girl. Good grades, an athlete body, good looks. She got over him real fast... must be a strong girl...
I began to walk past you more often on purpose. I smile more when you were around, did lotsa useless things to catch your attention. I didn't know why I was doing it, I didn't know why I always felt excited around you - I still do - I just didn't know why. I've never fallen in love before, you see..."
I pressed my lips against his before he could continue.
"You're such a sweetheart, baby. I love you," I said, and meant every word of it.
He held my hand and we walked into the hall.
I began to learn that happiness was just a mere adjective to describe how I was feeling. It was more than happy and fortunate, that I could have such a sweetheart with me. I decided that he would be the person I would never want to let go.
