It was all just a dream

Yours

Lilac's POV:

After Darius and I got back to our hotel room, I insisted that he showered first since I would've taken a long time.

After a few minutes, he walked out of the bathroom while drying his hair with a towel.

He was wearing a simple white t-shirt and a pair of grey sweatpants.

His arm muscle flexed as he moved the towel around, tousling his hair.

My heart skipped a beat.

How can someone be that attractive?

"I'm done. Take your time, alright?" Darius said.

I nodded.

I quickly walked into the bathroom and closed the door.

I let out a breath that I didn't know I was holding.

Why does he have so much effect on me?

I smiled to myself.

It's just a dream, but all my emotions here are real.

I hope I don't ever wake up.

The scent of tulips occupied the entire bathroom, a fragrance I had come to love.

After I was finished showering and changing, I took the hairdryer and started drying my hair.

How long has it been?

I hope I'm not taking too long.

When my hair was all dried, I left the bathroom.

My eyes widened at what was happening in front of me.

Darius was holding a bouquet of tulips with a big smile on his face.

"Happy birthday, Lilac. I hope you like the surprise."

He handed the bouquet to me and stepped aside.

Behind him, there were helium balloons of various colours scattered across the room.

There was also a huge teddy bear soft toy on the bed.

"Woah...you did all this?" I gawked at him.

I hugged him and said, "Aw, Darius. Thank you, I love it!"

I was elated.

I pecked him on the cheek and went to look at the gigantic soft toy on the bed.

"This is huge..."

I sat on the bed and hugged the soft toy.

It's so soft...

"Lilac, here."

I turned around to face Darius and watched as he took something out of his pocket.

It was a small jewellery box.

Huh?

He opened it, revealing a dainty silver necklace.

It was in the shape of a butterfly.

My eyes widened.
