Chapter 89

Amelia's POV

“What?.” He asked softly. His face was still close to mine and I could smell the wine in his breath. I could feel the tension in the moment, and my heart was beating faster than It ever did in a long while.

“Umm…nothing.” I whispered under my breath as I pulled away even more. “I'm sorry.” I whispered again.

He moved closer to me and this time he placed his hand on my arm and rubbed it softly. “I don't know how to say this Amelia… but I think I'm in love with you.”

There was a brief stop and I could feel my heart pounding in my chest.

“It took me tonight to realise how much I actually do and how I have been repressing this feeling… I can't stop thinking about you Amelia.”

He pulled me closer to himself, his grip on my arm tightened by a bit. He placed his hand on my face again and tried to kiss me the second time.

I pulled away again and sighed heavily. “I'm sorry, I can't.” I muttered. I could feel my hands shaking from the awkwardness of the situation.

“Why?”
