Surprise surprise! I've been busy. =]] But I got back to you, didn't I? Well, enjoy. I know it's short. =D
The nervousness and anxiety had vanished, at that moment. I wanted him to reply, but I didn't want him to. I was very fearful of the answer I might get back. I just stood there, gazing at the expressions that disappeared and reappeared on his face like watching the days slowly going by.
He looked sincere, and then recovered his calm serene look again. Slowly approaching me, he held out his arms. Without saying words, I accepted the hug. I just let the tears that had once been there return, soaking his torso. It seemed like forever we stayed like that. Like letting him go would cause the world to fall apart then and there.
"I love you too".
Okay. I'm going for 20 reviews. If I don't have that, then I won't have the next chapter up. ^-^
