weeks, she had gotten used to them. She had even met her cousins and they becinstant friends.

"As you like. If you get worried about her at any time, callno matter what the tis, Julian told me, and |

nodded.

| got in my car and drove to Matt's place. | was going to spend the night with him. He planned on takingon a

date and | was going to stay over at his place. He was excited that we were going to spend the day together. |

was excited too, but my excitement didn't matc It tookan hour to arrive at his place. | parked my car in front

of his apartment complex and made my way to the elevator

"Hello, darling," he said when he opened the door for me. He wrapped his arms around my body and kissed me.

| had been dating him for almost a year. He madehappy, and it tookso long to be able

to get into another relationship after Julian. | hated how | was never able to love somebody else the way | loved

Julian. | was never comfortable around a man the way | used to be comfortable around Julian. He was my first

true love, and nobody was able to makefall i "You don't know how excited | am to spend the day with you,"

he said, guidinginside with his hand on the small of my back.

"I'm sorry. | know | have been a terrible girlfriend, but | promise I will make it up to you," | said, pecking his lips.

Sometimes, | felt guilty because | knew Matt lovedmore than I loved him, but the thing was, | had no love in

"Where do you plan on takingtonight?" | asked, placing my head on his shoulder as we sat on the couch.

"It's a dinner date at a very fancy place, That's why | told you to put on something nice," he told me

"I can't wait," | whispered, kissing his cheek.

"How's Rosie? Is she having fun with her dad's family?" he wondered. Rosie and Matt got along well. It was

important forto make him understand that Rosie was very important in my life and if she wasn't comfortable

around him, it would be hard for us to date. Luckily, "She's having so much fun with them. Her cousins are also

there at her grandparents’ place, so she isn't going to be alone." | told him

"I'm glad that she finally has a father figure in her life," he said, and | nodded in agreement.

Before | knew it, Matt and | arrived at the restaurant. | was surprised when | realized that he had reserved the

whole place for us. There were candles everywhere and a violinist was playing a soft melody in the background.

"You did this all for me?" | was in pure awe. He went out of his way to make the night special for me.

"Anything for you, darling," he said as he placed his hands on my waist and kissed my lips. | put my hands on his

chest and kissed him back. He was amazing and | was lucky to have him. Sometimes, 1 felt like fate was giving

life.

The two of us sat down and soon, the waiter brought us our food. He had even ordered my favourite. Everything

he had done tonight was according to my liking and although | should have been happy, fear was gradually

taking over my heart

After finishing our dessert, he got up from his place and extended his hand to me. "Would you like to dance?" he

wondered.

"I would love dat." | smiled widely at him. | placed my hand in his and I didn't know why his touch felt foreign.

That was adding more to my guilt. Any girl would be over the moon will a man like Matthew, so why wasn't I?

Chapter 43

"Are you happy here in California?" he asked me..

"I actually am. | thought that | would be happier in a place far away from here since a lot of unpleasant things

happened in this place, but I'm actually happier here." California felt like home, and | was glad that nothing was

able to ruin it for me. "Do you like it here?" | kne "I like it here," he toldwith a smile on his face. "And I'm

here with you, Amelia. You make any place good." His hand cupped my cheek as he kissed me. | was lucky to

have him. "There's something | want to give you. We stopped dancing and | didn't know why, but my increase.

He put his hand in his pocket and got a small box out, making my eyes go wide. No, | wasn't surprised. | was

scared. | wasn't ready to get engaged to him. How was | going to say no to him without breaking his heart? He

didn't deserve that from me,

"Don't worry, I'm not proposing Was worry written on my face! | hated the sense of relief that took overwhen

he said that. This is just a promise ring. | promise to always be here for you whenever you need me, and |

promise to love you with all my heart. | promise to m | was a terrible person

He placed the ring on my finger and suddenly, my hand felt heavy. | felt like | was being shackled and the key to

my freedom was thrown into the depths of the ocean.

"Tm the luckiest woman on earth to have an amazing man like you," | whispered as he gently brushed away my

tears with his thumb

As | kissed him, | wondered what it would taketo love him the way he deserved.
