Eyes Closed (Chaelisa)

Chapter 30

Rosé POV

"Lisaaaaa, y-you ruined it." I say covering my face with my hands with tears in my eyes. I couldn't bring myself to face Lisa. She had surprised me in the most unexpected of ways and most of all Lalisa freaking Manoban had just told me she was in love with me. Never in my life had I imagined that she would be the one confessing her love for me. I've always thought I'd be the one to tell her I loved her and that I'd make her fall in love with me. Who knew she felt the same way. My heart is filled with happiness.

She kneeled in front of me asking what was wrong. I could feel the anxiety in her voice.

"Pabo Lisa!" I shout.

"Ch-Chaeyoung, I'm sorry. I-I didn't mean to.." she choked out the words almost trying to cover up the fact that she so badly wanted to cry.

"How could you do this? How can I top this? I had everything planned out Lisa and you ruined it! I was going to confess my undying love for you at the stroke of midnight on Christmas eve and you just go ahead and do this. I'm just going to reject you right now. Waaaaaah! I wanted to be the one to ask you to be my girlfriend." I said dramatically still crying.

I heard sobs coming from the girl in front of me so I look up worriedly and saw her, there she was, laughing and crying hysterically. I forgot to breathe in this moment and just appreciated looking at her in all her splendor. I touched her face to wipe the tears on her eyes and she puts her hands on top of mine slowly caressing them.

"Y-y-you were going to confess your love for m-me?" She asked and I nod at her.

"I'm in love with you idiot." I flicked her in her forehead. She touches her forehead in response and mumbles exaggeratedly how she got hurt.

"My heart stopped for a while thinking you hated me. You can still confess, I promise I'll pretend today never happened."

"Aniyo! I don't want to anymore. I don't want to forget this day ever. How could I forget the day that you first told me you loved me? I'm so mad at you right now, couldn't you have waited for a few more days. I had planned out everything perfectly and I would have confessed." I say standing up and about to leave her room.

"W-why are you leaving?" she asks in panic.

"Because I'm mad at you right now. I'll never forget the fact that you didn't let me confess first."

"B-but I have food!" The moment I hear the magic words I turn around and returned to my seat. I was really hungry and haven't had dinner yet. Curse my stomach for being so weak in this moment!

"Fine, I'm still mad at you but I'm hungry. Now give me food." I say pouting.

She hands me spicy Pad Thai one of my favorite dishes. I knew she had been the one to cook this. I grab the plate from her hands and eat it happily. I notice she wasn't eating and was just staring at me with a goofy grin on her face.

"Do I have something on my face? Why do you keep staring at me?" I ask while still continuing to eat my food.

"This moment just feels surreal. I can't believe the love of my life just told me she's in love with me too. I can't believe you're my girlfriend now."

"I'm not your girlfriend. I remember I firmly said I was rejecting you." I said sternly.

Her face scrunches up in protest as she responds.

"But, but Rosie!"

"A no is a no Lisa. Just eat your food."

She unhappily picks up her plate and starts to eat acting like a spoiled child who didn't get what she wanted.

"Lisa" I say.

She looks at me still clearly upset at what I had said earlier.

"I love you."

Her face turns a slighter shade of red, smiling at me shyly.

"I love you too Chaeng-ah. Now will you be my girlfriend?"

"No. The food was good though so thank you." I smile teasingly.

Lisa opens a bottle of wine and gives me a glass.

"Really Lisa? Wine? Were you so confident I would say yes?" I ask with my eyebrows raised.

Her body stiffens and I knew I had her under the tip of my fingers. The thought made me laugh.

"Aniyo. I wasn't really sure how you would take it but I just had this in reserve either to celebrate because you felt the same way or to make myself drunk in case you reject me." she says nervously.

I drink the glass of wine all at once and stole the glass she was holding for herself. I drank hers too and scooted closer to Lisa my face smirking. I lick my lips and she was staring at them as she swallows nervously.

"Lisa, I felt a rollercoaster of emotions today all because of you. I think it's about time I get payback from all the things that you made me feel."

I crawl closer to her and she backs away until her back hits against the wall. She had nowhere else to escape as I was now face to face with her. She lets out a soft whimper in response. I had to admit, scared Lisa was turning me on. Maybe it was the wine talking. I stare at Lisa's face, and all I had in my head was that she looked divine and I had wanted to kiss her badly.

I sit on Lisa's lap and moved my face ever so slightly closer to her lips. She closed her eyes making me smile even more. I knew she was nervous and I was finding her growing more and more adorable by the second.

"Lisa, I am deeply in love with you. For the past few months, I realized I had been thinking about you a lot more than I should have and I began to wonder how long you had been on my mind. It had been a confusing state and so I apologize for the times I had been unexplainably moody back then. I came to realize later on that it was due to my growing feelings for you. I knew the exact moment I had realized I was inlove with you, we were at the movies and you were trying your best not to cry but you failed miserably and ended up crying anyway. The moment I took your hand and you looked at me with the look of embarrassment in your eyes, I knew I had fucked up because I had fallen in love with my best friend. As time passed, I fell for you more and even continued wanting more from our relationship but it scared me. What if you don't feel the same? What if you end up hating me? For a long time, I couldn't utter the words I held deeply in my heart but I finally found the courage to. I wanted to tell you the fact that when I look at you I can't find the air to breathe. You look breathtakingly gorgeous and you always seem to take my breath away. Nothing in my life has meant as much to me as you do. I am truly, madly and deeply in love with you. Be mine already Lalisa Manoban. Will you give me the honor of being your girlfriend?"

She was crying now, not out of sadness but of pure happiness. She nods her head repeatedly and gives me a smile. Her smile of affirmation and affection was all it took for me to close the distance between us. I close the gap and pressed my lips to hers.
