Chapter 41
I Will Always Love You

"I will always love you, no matter what"

♡

Aphmau

"Aph, will you marry me?"

"Yes. . yes, yes, yes!"

He opened his arms as I ran towards him, embracing my body as our lips started brushing up against each other as his arms wrapped around my small body which was pressing up against his.

My heart was rapidly speeding up, as his eyes never left mine.

Then, the gap between us had close as he pulled his lips close to mine.

It's hard to rethink about what has happened in the last year but it didn't matter anymore because we had each other.

We had done so many things to each other in the past and in the end, we still loved each other as much as the next person would not saying anyone could have still we're technically taken.

Hehe, it does really take you through memory lane just thinking about that.

I remember the time someone 'mistaken' me for being single and tried to hook up with me.

"I'm gonna get a drink, I'll be back"

I nodded my head in response as he quickly kissed my cheek before standing up and quickly walking into the crowd of people surround the dance floor.

It was just me and the table.

I started playing with my fingers as someone had approached me, taking the seat next to me.

"Um, I'm pretty sure that seat is taken-"

"What's a pretty lady like you doing here all alone?" He asked.

"I'm sorry to inform you but I'm not alone-"

"I wish every girl I laid eyes on was gorgeous"

This guy keeps on just straight up ignoring me. When will this guy take a hint that I'm not interested and I'm already taken?

"Look, I'm flattered but I'm already taken" I random said straight up in this guy's face as he kept on ignoring me.

"Look, I already took you. I'm flattered but I'm already taken by someone who doesn't go around seducing women into something she doesn't want to do by some idiot who just wants their virginity!"

I yelled in his face as his expression quickly changed into a not-so-friendly expression.

His hand gripped around my wrist tightly pulling me toward the exit. I tried yelling for help as it was no use since the music covered my attempts for help.

"I'm sorry, but I'm pretty sure the lady already told you she's not interested"

I looked around me as I saw Aaron standing in front of the guy.

"Aaron!"

"So, what makes you think you can just randomly take someone's girl and get away from it?" He asked, glaring at the guy who's grip started loosening up.

"Let go of my girlfriend"

He growled as the guy's grip around my wrist loosened. I pulled my arm away from him as I ran towards Aaron quickly embracing him.

"Shh, I've got you"

That night, I didn't want to let go of Aaron. I didn't want that same experience to happen to me again where things might go south.

He's always there to comfort me when I need it, he's always listening to my problems and he's always there helping me out when I need it.

He still loves me even after what I put him through. It just makes me think sometimes I'm not good enough for him.

I never loved you!

Everything around me started becoming a blur I quickly sat up from the ground.

I looked around my surrounding as I saw Aaron still sleeping next to me as tears started forming in my eyes, and eventually dripping down my cheeks.

Small sobs started coming out of me as I couldn't keep it in anymore. I curled myself up into a small ball blocking out everything around me as tears steamed down my eyes.

"Aphmau."

Sobs stated coming out more as he looked worry and confused by my actions.

"What's wrong?"

He pulled me into his lap, brushing his hand through my hair.

"I can't explain how it went but I made me realize some things I should have realized a long time ago"

"Like what?"

"Things that question how you still love you me even after what you went through. I gave you so much pain and even if that was suppose to stop you, you still love me"

I stopped as small hiccups came out from my month.

"I'm glad you told me this but that stuff shouldn't matter, because what really matter is that I will always love you"

"No matter what you do to me, no matter what happens, no matter what we go through, I will always love you and nothing can ever change that"

He smiled.

"Hehe, I remember the good times"

"When we laughed, when we smiled, when we were together. That's what I remember when I was having hard times being separated away from you"

"It's was always you. I will always love you and nothing can change that. I will never stopping loving you, no matter what you do. You brought joy into my life when I never thought I'd know it. You saved me and I will always love you for that"

I turned myself around as I was now facing Aaron who eye contact interlocked with mine.

"God, I love my eyes when you look into your eyes. I love my name when you say it. I love my heart when you touch it and I love my life when you're in it"

"I choose you and I'll choose you over and over. Without a pause, without a doubt, in a heartbeat, I'll keep choosing you"

"God, where are you getting this from?" I laughed.

"You want me to stop~?"

"No, no, keep going"

"When you think you're not worth it, stop it. You're worth it to me, you are my everything and I don't ever want to see you hurting. So when you think you're not worth it, think again. There's always someone who loves you"

"My little heart, you're breaking it apart" I wined.

"How about another one before we go back to bed, you sure you can handle the pressure?" I laughed.

"Of course, I can"

"Even in the darkest moments that might seem like forever, if you can't find a way to smile for people, then at least smile for me, okay?"

I nodded my head as he kissed my forehead, laying me back down on my side as he laid down next to me, wrapping his arms around my waist.

"Goodnight, babe. Just remember that I will always love, no matter what"

"No matter what" I smiled.
