"Babe...please." I was stunned and turned to him. I immediately changed my emotion and replaced it with a frown.
"B-babe? With all due respect, Sir, but you don't have the right to call me that. So if you'll excuse me, I'll go ahead." But he pulled me again.
"Please, listen to me, just this once. Please, Amelie..." I stared at him and I didn't like the softening of my heart.
I sighed.  "Fine," but I was surprised when he pulled me immediately into the garden.
"W-wait! I haven't said goodbye to them yet!" I don't care if I don't have respect any more for him, he creeps me out all the time and I'm panicking because of that.
"They already know that so it's okay. And I'm the boss here." He said calmly and sat down on a bench.
I just sighed again and followed him but remained standing.
"Sit down." I glared at him when he pulled me to sit next to him. "What are we going to talk about?" I asked to finish this conversation right away. It's dangerous for my fragile heart if we stay here for long! I might get weaker if he continues to act this way and I would probably give up and be with him! And that's wrong!
"Do you hate me?" I was surprised by his direct question.  Maybe he felt I didn't want to stay with him so he directed me.
My heart ached because he thought I didn't like him even though It wasn't totally like that.  If he only really knew ...
"Do you hate me...so much?" My tears wanted to flow when he asked me again.
"No," I tell the truth and he nodded.
"Is there a chance for us?" I got sad and didn't look at him.  How I wish everything was that easy.
"I'm sorry, but I really can't. I-I'm not ready yet." I said suddenly.
"Then I'll wait." I got even more confused.
"I-I'm not ready yet because I still love my ex." I wanted to kill and bury myself when I said those words.
For god's sake!  What the hell, Amelie?! Love my foot! I already moved on, I even forgot what he looks like, then now, love? Tss...
But on the other hand, I hope he'll believe me and not force about us anymore.
He was shocked and there was damn pain in his eyes. I averted my eyes so as not to be further affected.
"S-sure...I won't force you anymore. I love you, and I always will...even if you can't love me back." My heart beats faster. He always makes my heart flutter. Like there's a butterfly in my stomach when he said that he'll always love me, but a bit hurt by the situation. With mixed emotions, I just nodded.
"Love someone who can love you back, that's what you deserve, Sir." I forced a smile when I said that.
"Please, sir, Ms. Smith is there, try to get along with her." It hurts me so much to push him towards others. Who the hell wants your lover to be with someone else, right? It's like you kill yourself because you let your love be with someone. You see, I'm dying here because of my stupidity.
"I'll go ahead first. Take care, Mr. Harper." I said goodbye without him speaking and went back inside.
"Are you okay?" Denny asked when I got back. "I'm sorry I didn't help with the preparations." They're going home now, it's annoying, because of Anoush, I wasn't able to help them!
"It's okay, those are just a few. Are you okay? Why don't you just go home? We're done here also, we can all have a rest now." I just nodded.
"I'm fine...I'm just tired tonight." she sighed. "Rest." she pulled me to the parking lot and took me to my car.
"Be careful." I just nodded and put my seatbelt on. "Thank you, you too." she smiled and tapped my car, a sign that I can go now.
I started the engine and left.  While on the trip I could not forget what had happened.
I want to hope that he will still love me and it'll always be until the end.  But I'm also worried that he won't give Ms. Smith a chance. I am caught between what my heart wants and what should and is right to do.
I just want him to love me every day just like he said.  But I also want him to realize that we have no hope.
Gosh,  when he said he hadn't dated anyone, I really think he we're kidding. Tell me, where did he learn all of this? I didn't teach him these actions!
When I got to the gate of the house my forehead furrowed when a man was looking at the front of my house and seemed to be waiting.
I immediately went down and went to where the man was.
"Excuse me, are you looking for something-" I couldn't finish what I was going to say when he turned to me and smiled as he handed me the flower.
"Hey, hon."
"J-JULIUS?!" I almost fainted when I saw who was in front of me now.
"Yes, hon...it's nice to finally be back." I was almost horrified when he hugged me very tightly.
Anoush and I just talked about him before, right? Why does he need to appear in an instance? I didn't even summon him!
"God...I missed you so damn much!" I blinked but in a few minutes, I gradually realized the situation.
So, the damn stupid jerk is back?  He is now in front of me and hugging me tightly.  Ha!  I almost want to choke in his arms!
"Wait!" I said irritably and let go of his hug, I stayed away from him. "And when did you come back?" Why is this ugly ghost so scary!  After ghosting me, he will suddenly appear just like that?!
"Last week, but I didn't show up right away because I was still taking care of something." He smiled and I was surprised when he suddenly knelt and took out the ring!
"W-what are you doing?!" He smiled even more and held my left hand.
"My first dream of being a director in Hollywood has come true. Now I also want my second dream to come true. I immediately came home here to take care of the things that need to be taken care of so that I can finish right away and be with you again. Now, can you fulfill my second dream? Will you be my wife and be with me for the rest of our lives?"I couldn't answer his litany.  I wanted to say no but my mouth got tangled in confusion and annoyance!
"Hon?" He hopefully said.
"No, I can't." I suddenly said and he didn't expect it. He's indeed an idiot.
"W-what? Why?" He said sadly.  I pulled my left hand back.
"Why? Are you that stupid ah? You were so stupid when you left me and now you've gotten even more stupid! There's a saying that people change, but it seems that it didn't apply to you at all."  I sarcastically said.
"H-hon--"
"Don't call me hon! After you leave me on the air hanging, now you'll come back as if you never left me and will call me hon, and the worse is you'll propose? Wtf! Are you that insane?"
"Let me explain, calm down first--"
"Calm down? How can I calm down if my stupid ex suddenly appears and proposing a wedding as if everything is still fine?!" I said with gritted teeth.
"Please...let me explain. You know that my dream is to be a director in Hollywood. I didn't leave you, I just really don't want to say goodbye because I might not be able to continue to go abroad if I'll see you--"
"What the hell?! So, I'm still the reason why it's like this now?! You're saying that it's my fault? Do you want to die? I can kill you, right here right now!"
"A-Amelie...don't be like that. You see, I came back to you after I fulfilled my first dream." I smirked at what he said.
"Then I didn't like your return. You can stay there for good and be a damn stupid director, I don't need you and I don't want to see your fvcking face. Be a director until your last breath." I seriously said.
"Don't leave me-" my gaze deepened on him.
"Leave you? Aren't you the one who left? Don't act like a victim there, it doesn't suit your thick face!"
"I'm so sorry--"
"Apologies accepted, but the pain would remain here." I pointed to my heart at the same time.
"Amelie..."
"Shut the hell up and go away, I don't want to fight with you anymore. I'm just wasting my energy, saliva, and time on someone like you." I said without emotion and was about to open the gate when he held my hand.
"Don't you ever touch me again! The day you left me, I cut off all about us so you don't have the right to touch me or even fool around. I've forgotten you for a long time, so please, forgot me as well, stay away or go back to where you came from. Don't talk to me again, you creep the hell out of me."I said angrily and slammed the gate and entered the house.
