it was her turn next. She looked at me with a smile before closing her eyes and inserting her hand in the box. Her hand stayed in the shoe box for some seconds and then, she took a little piece of wrapped paper and opened her eyes.
"Your ultimate wish is?" she read out loud
"SO...? answer"
"my ultimate wish?" she said "that's easy. My ultimate wish is finding someone who genuinly loves me, and getting married, and having children. And being happy"
My eyes filled up with tears of happiness. She WANTED to be happy. She wanted to be able to trust. She wanted someone who loved her. And i was going to be that person. i wanted to tell her she was going to have that. She was going to be happy. but i couldnt. 'no comments about what the other says'
"OKAY. ill go" i said, as i placed my hand in the box and took one of the papers in in randomly. then, i took a long breath and read "What's the worst lie you've ever said?"
SHE LOOKED AT ME WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING
"The worst lie i ever said was one i didnt know it was a lie at the time.."
"And what's that?" she asked
"two weeks ago i told the Colonel i felt i knew everything about you" SHE LOOKED AT ME WITH SURPRISE AND THEN SHOOK HER HEAD SHOWING SHE COULDNT COMMENT ON WHAT I SAID. but i saw her eyes fill up with tears. of hapiness, i hoped.
she put her hand in the box and took one of the papers.
"if you could chose your last words, what would them be?" i lovesd that one. it reflected my love for people's last words.
i looked at her, actually intrigued.
" my last words would be... I LOVE YOU, MILES" She said and then leaned forward as i kissed her.
"I LOVE YOU TOO, Alaska. And i want you to know ill always be here for you."
"Always?" she said
"aLWAYS" i answered and kissed her again.
