Chapter 160: CHAPTER 160 – I love you.
Alex had noticed it for a while, he could tell that Alice was deep in her thoughts as she kept staring at the stars without any reaction to his eventual teasing.
(Teasing here is referred to Alex gently squeezing Alice's waist or caressing it.)
That something could be what she had been thinking on her own or making her own conclusions, and Alex didn't want that, so he asked.
"What's got you so deep in your thoughts?"
Alice looked at Alex trying to feign confusion.
"You know that acting of yours won't work on me, don't you?" Alex deadpanned her.
Alice turned her head lower in embarrassment.
"Out with it," Alex spoke as he squeezed Alice's waist, and finally he got some reaction as Alice straightened her back and leaned closer to him.
"It's nothing serious…." Alice muttered with her head on his chest.
"I still want to know, so tell me," Alex insisted.
'When they say it's nothing serious, it is serious,' Alex muttered inwardly.
Alice remained silent for a while and Alex also waited patiently and gave her the time.
After a while, Alice moved closer to Alex, her body was now completely sticking with Alex, and her face was buried in his chest.
"It's just that…..." Alice finally spoke, but her voice came out muffled as her face was turned toward Alex's chest.
"Whenever I think that I know who Alex is, I get a surprise, and I get to know more about you."
Alice continued, and Alex who heard her words waited for her to finish.
"I'm happy that I get to know more about you, I really am, but then a thought comes to my mind: 'How much do I not know about him?'
This thought then brings another thought: 'What about his past? The past that even he doesn't remember?'."
Alice then lifted her head and looked right into Alex's eyes with her round watery eyes.
"It gets hard when I think of all that, I start thinking about what your past was, who you were, and many other things…."
Alice completed her words as she kept looking into Alex's eyes, waiting for his answer.
But Alex's reply was simple.
"Does it matter?"
"Huh?" Alice let out a confused voice.
"I said, does it matter what my past was, when even I don't remember it?" Alex asked again.
'Does it matter…...?' His words kept repeating themselves in Alice's mind, but Alex was not done yet.
"I don't know who I was in the past, I don't remember, but I do know who I am right now.
Right now, I am Alex Matthew, and I can assure you that I won't change no matter what happens."
Alex spoke resolutely, but then he felt his confidence waver for a while.
However, he ignored it.
'There's no way I'm changing,' He spoke inwardly.
"It doesn't matter?" Alice spoke unsurely.
Alex looked at her for a while before he shifted in his position and sat face-to-face with Alice.
He held Alice's hand and spoke.
"Alice, I love you.
I, the Alex you know am speaking right now, not someone from the past or someone with past memories, and that is not going to change.
I'm going to keep loving you, no matter what I was in the past.
So, let me ask you again: Does it matter?"
Alex asked, but Alice was stuck on the first word he spoke.
'He proposed to me!'
Alice exclaimed happily, she was jumping for joy inwardly, but that was all inside. Outside she was just stunned silly.
"Do you love me? The me that you know?
If yes, then does it matter what I was in the past?
I am what I am right now, this is the real me, and it is not going to change."
Alex added as he saw Alice stunned and Alice who heard his question finally broke out of her stunned state.
Her eyes started tearing up, she was just that happy.
"Yes, I love you too. I love the Alex that I know, and I will love you the same no matter what you become."
Alice spoke with the best smile she could and it was now Alex's turn to get stunned.
Alice was beautiful, but right now as the moonlight fell over her and the sea breeze blew her hair, her gorgeous smile stole Alex's heart again.
Alex hugged her tightly and Alice hugged him back.
They kept hugging each other for a while before they separated.
"I promise you, I will always be the same, I'm not going to change."
Alex stated again and Alice just smiled sweetly.
"I believe you."
They kept looking into each other's eyes and Alice's face started turning a bit rosy.
Alex lifted his hand and caressed Alice's chicks before one of his hands moved behind her head and the other moved to her waist.
Alex slowly leaned forward and Alice who was that just closed her eyes.
Her heart was beating like a drum, the rhythm of her heartbeats could be heard clearly, but then she heard Alex's heartbeat drumming just like hers and smiled before he leaned a bit as well.
Then it happened…..
Alice felt like her body was zapped, but the current that passed through her body was more pleasing than anything she had ever felt.
She could feel Alex's lips on hers, and so could Alex.
They simply pressed their lips against each other but that alone sent strange jolts through their bodies.
They stayed like that for ten minutes or so before Alice tapped Alex's hand and they separated.
They kept looking into each other's eyes before they leaned in again.
This time, however, they started sucking on each other's lips.
Alex's hands that were on Alice's waist started moving up on her back as they roamed on her back.
The same could be said for Alice as she pressed her body on Alex and placed her hand on his neck, pulling him closer.
*Chup**Chup*
The sound of them sucking on each other's lips was heard clearly, but only to them as they were sitting some distance away from the beach, surrounded by waves.
They stopped after a while and looked into each other's eyes.
"Hah…Hah…"
Both of them were breathing heavily as they had been sucking on each other's lips for who knows how long.
Alice leaned forward and rested her head on Alex's chest, avoiding eye contact as she was too shy to do that.
Alex just kept caressing her head with a smile.
After a while, Alex stood up with Alice in his arms as he carried her in a princess carry.
Alex started levitating with Alice in his hands and stopped only after they reached a height of 50 meters.
He started zooming toward their house but just as they were crossing a Lotel (Love Hotel), Alice tightened her grip around Alex.
