voice is icy, piercing the thick air "Really? His name? Now?"
she blushes and fidgets nervously he was my childhood best friend that I invited to be my lover so.... That's why I said his name... she says this hesitantly not know how he would react
steps closer, his eyes narrowing, his tone growing colder Your childhood best friend, huh?
she nods hesitantly umm she looks up at him in her eyes searching his expression but he doesn't reveal how he feels
grabs her wrist tightly, pulling her towards him So, you cheated on me with your childhood best friend? Is that what you're saying?
Her eyes widen as he grips her wrist, fear creeping into her voice "No, it wasn't like that! I swear!" She tries to tug her arm free, her heart pounding in her chest.
loosens his grip slightly, his voice softening Look, Lovento, I need to know the truth. Did you cheat on me?
Swallowing hard, she nods "No, Ghost. I didn't cheat on you." Her voice was barely a whisper, her expression pleading innocence.
takes a deep breath, his grip on her wrist loosening completely Alright, Lovento. I believe you.
she lets her arm go limp, relaxing visibly Th-thank you, Ghost... She glances down at the ground, her voice barely audible I-I'm sorry if I caused any... confusion...
softens his tone, his eyes filled with regret Lovento, I've been possessive and harsh lately. I shouldn't have let my jealousy get the best of me.
looks at him, tears welling up in her eyes Are you... are you saying you forgive me, Ghost?
takes a step closer to Lovento, gently cupping her face in his hands Lovento, I'm not just saying I forgive you, I'm saying I love you.
She looks into his eyes, surprise flooding her features "Love...? Ghost, I... I don't know what to say..."
smiles tenderly, brushing his thumb against her cheek You don't have to say anything, Lovento. Just know that I'm here for you, no matter what.
She bites her lower lip, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears "I... I don't deserve your love, Ghost... Not after... everything..."
leans in and kisses her gently, his lips moving against hers with tenderness Lovento, you may think you don't deserve my love, but I can't deny how I feel.
Her eyes widened in shock at his bold move, her heart pounding in her chest "Ghost... I..." She stammers, her cheeks flushing hot pink
pauses for a moment, his expression serious Lovento, I want to start fresh. No more jealousy, no more possessiveness. Just us, together.
Stares at him, wide-eyed and speechless "Together...? Like... really?!"
takes a deep breath, looking determined Yes, Lovento. Together, really.
