Show me your fears, show me your scars,
I'll take whatever's left of your heart
Give me heaven, give me hell,
All the dreams you try to sell,
I want your fears, your hopes,
The whole kaleidoscope.

|Chapter: 80|

"Just wait here Rena."

I grasped his hand immediately before he could run away from me, leaving me in the complete darkness. I could faintly see little flowers blooming and a small wooden hut. Is that the cabin, but why is it so dark? "Where are you going?", I asked.

He cupped my cheeks and smiled. "Do you trust me?" If three months ago, I would've answered that in a heartbeat, but now I'm not sure anymore. I saw the hurt look that flashed visibly in his eyes when I didn't respond, he wasn't even trying to hide. At last, I nodded making that mesmeric smile come back to his face. "Stay put." He kissed my forehead and left.

It was middle of the night in an isolated place, an hour away from Lockswood so I have the right be scared. I cannot believe he brought this whole place for my birthday. Just because I have mentioned few times that I wish to spend night in a small house surrounded with flowers, he didn't really have to bring it. I have to be careful in opening my mouth to wish something in front of him from now on, I made a mental note to myself. Like he told me to stay put, I didn't move and started observing the place. Even though it was end of June, I felt the air making me shiver as it pass by and the blue off shoulder gown was no good.

"What is taking him so long?", I mumble to myself and was about to go find out just when the lights were on, making me stop dead on my track. Holy mother of Jesus! I gasped. I can see everything clearly now, the cabin with door sized windows, the flower pots hanging near them, the stony footpath leading to the door with lights on the side and lastly the wild flowers growing around and the blueberry bushes. Enchanting and magical.

"Sorry, I had to change some lights inside. They ran out of batteries due to plugged in for so long", he explained as he came back to stand with me. I was so awed with the scene in front of me that I couldn't speak a word. Doesn't he always leave me dumbfounded? How does he even get this ideas or he has some kind of manual for this?

"The answer is nope, I don't have a manual", he said. I turn to him, shocked.

"Did I say that out loud?", I asked.

He nodded smiling. He seems to smile a lot suddenly. He came closer making my heart pump blood faster as he lean his forehead on mine and closed his eyes before whispering, "Rena, it's you who brings this creative side out of me. You just happen to love the most beautiful things on this planet and I just try to put them together. So, do you like it?"

I dug my nails into my palm, trying to stop the tears. But it was just not in my power. "I..I love it. I'm so sorry for not letting you explain that day, for ruining this beautiful plan you and Nana put so much effort in. I am such an worst person. Why do you even love me?" I cried on his chest, wetting his dress shirt.

He pulled my face to make me look at him and rub the tears away shaking his head at me. "Baby you didn't ruin anything, it was my fault. I should've tried harder to explain. And about that question why do I even love you is something I had no control over from the moment I saw you in your large tee and summer shorts."
