Amelia jerked her head over to Zelgadiss. He was giving her that slight smile. She rested her chin on her palms. Hmm.. she thought. Did she regretted on accepting his marriage proposal ? Whatever does she sees in him ? Self centered, egoistic, aloof, cynical, rude, … besides that.. he’s … well…. Ano… charming ? Now that she thinks of it… he’s well… nahh…. But… still…. He never talks about anything else but his cure, cure , and cure. Frankly speaking everyone is fed up of it. But nooo….. Amelia had to stick by him. Darn it…
Amelia tapped on the table again. Let’s see… what are his positives that made her stick to him. …….…………… Okay… now let’s move on, on why she shouldn’t stick up to him. He loves nobody except himself, he’s with that ‘I’m silent and cool’ attitude, to sum it up, he has no money… hmm… maybe he wants her because of her money….. she is rich after all…. And after the marriage they’ve been living in the comforts of HER castle.
Sheesh.. Amelia groaned this is coming from her ? SHE is complaining about Zelgadiss san ? As much as she hate it… yes…. Sometimes she thinks that she would be better off without him. Damn it… There he is drinking his coffee. Man, coffee has caffeine and caffeine is a drug , yes ? Okay. Put it in the negative list.. he takes drugs.
Okay.. it’s up to her to end all this. A divorce. Let him find that freedom he wants and look for his stupid cure. She has been holding him back. Stupid marriage bond. She isn’t happy. No, of course not. After analyzing all those stuffs, she decided this should end.
“Zelgadiss san ?” She called him. He looked up from his coffee. Coffee… caffeine.. yuck.
“What ?”
Amelia took a deep breath, “I just want to say that-“ Zelgadiss placed a finger on her lips and shushed her.
“Before you go on any further, I want to say first that…” He inhaled deeply. “I know I can’t give you all these comforts you are used to; I’m not even rich,” He said looking straight into her eyes. “I know I am not your perfect man.. I’m not human,” He looked down. “I know I can’t stop looking for my cure and that’s bothering you,” He sighed. “I know I am a cynical, aloof, self centered, jerk, “ He shook his head. “ I know I can’t reach out to you but I’ll try,” He looked into her eyes again; his eyes full of sincerity. “But I do know this,” He pulled her close.
“I love you Amelia Wil Telsa Saillune,” He whispered softly.
A blush spread across her face. She could feel that tone fill with sincerity. She felt her heart burst with love as she hugged him. How could she ever doubted him ? She was ashamed of herself. Every bit of her denial for him vanished. And they kissed and kissed; both with their love for each other.
“Let’s get our own place,” Zelgadiss muttered. Amelia snuggled closer as she nods.
“Now.. what was it that you wanted to tell me before ?” he asked curiously.
Amelia smiled, ”Oh, nothing… just that I love you too,”
