Someone Like You

Chapter Nineteen

"This is really beautiful, Alexander!" I exclaim as I witness the heavenly sight unfolds in front of my naked eyes.

"You like it?" He says with a hopeful voice.

"No." I turn to face him. He looks sad all of a sudden. "I love it, Alexander. I love it so much."

"Really? You're not faking it?"

"Of course not." I look away and let my eyes explore around. "Oh my gosh." I gasp.

I am standing on the most amazing place I have ever seen. Alexander bought me to the place I never knew was real. I am surrounded by beautiful flowers of different varieties dancing as the wind blow them. Everywhere I look, all I could see are flowers as tall as my waist. I tried to look for a border where it ends but I fail. It seems like this place is as wide as infinity.

"I love it." I blurt, mesmerize.

I hear him exhale – a sigh of relief. "I'm happy to hear that." He walks pass me and grabs my hand. "C'mon, you need to see this." He says, smiling widely. He looks very happy, excited, and ... carefree.

"Let's go." I giggle. We walk hand in hand until we reach a cliff with a huge tall tree on it, and beside it is a wooden bench.

"C'mon let's sit there." He points at the bench as he gently leads the way. My heels began to sink to the soil as I take another step, since we've already reached the end of the pavement. "What's wrong?" He asks immediately, taking notice of me having a hard time.

"My heels are sinking." I say giggling. I don't know why I'm laughing but I just find this funny.

"I'm sorry. I forgot you were on heels." He says apologetically. He bends down and about to scoop me in his arms.

"Wait." I stop him. He looks at me with a confused face. "You don't need to do that. I'm heavy, you know." I don't wait for him to respond and quickly goes down and removes my heels. "Tada!" I stand up and raise my shoes. "Let's go." I walk towards the bench and sit. The comfort I'm feeling right now after removing these damn shoes is like one of the amazing relief ever.

Alexander follows and sits beside me. The bench is hard and cold but somehow, it feels like it is the most comfortable place on earth. Sitting next to Alexander makes it this way. I am also witnessing an amazing sunset. The sun is in the middle of the two perfectly shaped mountains. It is like one of those drawings we made when we were still a child, but a lot beautiful of course. I watch as the Mr. Sun hides himself behind the mountains. I sit there observing the sky changes its color from orange, yellow, and red to blue and purple. It's so magical. This is one of the moments I wonder how powerful our beloved God is.

"It's so beautiful." I exclaims.

"Like you."

I immediately look at him. He's looking at me intently which causes me to be taken a back for a moment. I giggle as soon as I recover. "Thanks?"

He chuckles. "I never doubted that you would come to watch the game but what surprised me was that you had a special entrance."

"Hey, don't make it sound like I planned it all. I was just dragged to do all of those because they lack time and they could not find anyone to fill the place."

"And there you are."

"And here I am. " I say rolling my eyes. "Aren't you proud of me?" I say sarcastically.

He cocks his head to the side and grins. "I actually am. I'm very happy for you. You were amazing. You look so beautiful."

Then again, butterflies appear on my stomach creating sweet, tingling sensation all throughout my body. "Geez, stop that. You're giving me goosebumps." I say looking away from him. "So how do you feel that your team wins, Mr. MVP?" I ask trying to change the topic.
