One step at a time

Oddly she started laughing and I looked at her becoming really infuriated and asked: 

- What is so funny? 

And she replied playfully: 

- By now you have made a thousand of stories in your head, right? I have cheated on you a hundred times and I have left you a hundred more. No? 

And I couldn't believe her level of cruelty and asked her surprised, mad and hurt: 

- Do you think this is funny, Clarissa? 

- I just think you're cute, Aldo. She said and reached out to me while passing her tender fingers through my neck. 

- I love you now, only you. She insisted and even if I refused to believe her, the captivating of her eyes kept me calm. I forced myself to look somewhere else while still wondering if she was actually thinking of someone else. 

- If you’re so worried, we might as well get married. She said lightly and I looked at her immediately. Was she being serious right now? Was she going to quit to her so-called freedom for me? Was she going to be mine? 

- I am yours already. She said and I opened my eyes widely in surprise. Marrying you would only make it official. 

And when she said so I couldn’t explain the fireworks in my heart. I held her hand and got close to her ear just to say: 

- I am deeply in love with you, Clarissa. 

And she blushed... wasn’t she adorable each time she turns red? She was adorable at all times.
