Chapter 29

I blushed even more when he said that. What can I answer? I'm not going to answer directly that 'Yes, Darren you can kiss me' but like duh! It's embarrassing if I do that, right? And then maybe if I do that, I won't have anything to show Darren.

I simply looked left and right to make sure no one was looking, but when I turned to the left and was about to turn to the right, the whole incident happened quickly. His hand that was caressing my cheek earlier now has two hands placed on both of my cheeks as support because he simply applied his lips to mine.

I closed my eyes suddenly, I didn't expect that he would do something like this. I can't explain what I'm feeling right now, it's like my heart is about to explode with so much happiness. I'm so happy!

That kiss lasted for ten seconds as if it reached the heart of a year. I'm so happy ! Is this how the man you love kisses? I hope the old Darren who ignores me doesn't come back. I wish ---

"I promise, starting today I will love you and I'll start to forget Chiara" I smiled even more at what he said. I hope so. Darren, I hope what you say is true and I can believe it.

And after saying that he kissed me again. Could this be the best day ever of my life?

In the evening I called home that I was fine and that they should not worry about me and Akia, I also texted her where I was so that she would somehow know but I had been staring at the screen of my cell phone for several minutes without a screen. I still haven't received a reply from him. I just let out a sigh and hid my cellphone in my pocket.

Is Akia still mad at me? It's just sad to think that this is how our friendship with Akia will end?

"Oh, why are you sad there?" I turned to the person who spoke. It turned out that Darren was standing by the door jamb and as far as I was concerned, it looked like he had been there for a while. He was only wearing a white t-shirt and jeans while wearing the smile on his face that I have seen since the kiss and when we arrived here at the resort.

"Ahh .." and I simply hid my cell phone in my pocket but it looks like he still noticed what I did because he approached me and immediately grabbed the cell phone I had hidden in my pocket.

"Oh, why is your phone still like this?" he asked while looking at my cellphone. I just went because I have to admit that I feel embarrassed because you are an actor with you and then he finds out that your cellphone is not a screen and still has a keypad.

"Oh, why did you go there? Is something hurting you? Is there a problem?" I could feel the concern in the tone of his speech but I still remained bent. Because, it's not that easy to get rid of the shame you feel, right?

I just shook my head but he didn't seem happy with what I did so he knelt down so we were on the same level and looked at me. He also held my chin so he could look at me properly.

"Is there a problem, Des?" I shook my head again and avoided his gaze. I'm embarrassed because his cell phone is an iPhone, which is the latest, then mine is almost antique.

"If that's the case, why are you looking away?" I shook my head again and kept looking in another direction.

"Come on, Des" and I just felt him holding my hand causing me to turn around and unexpectedly I looked at him and I caught him looking at me too.

I can not talk. I was too embarrassed to speak.

"What's wrong, Des?" I shook my head again and turned again in another direction. I'm like a child here, but I'll also be like a child if I admit the truth to him, right?

"Is this about the phone?" this time I turned to him and saw the sincerity in his eyes. So I had no choice and I just nodded. This is the truth so go ahead.

He sat on the bed next to me before he spoke again.

"Des, material things are not important in life, yes we may need them and we may be in trouble if we don't have them but you want to know what is most important for human life?" I just nodded at his question while I was looking at him and while he was holding my hand.

"Love, love is important to the life of a person, why? because *in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth and the earth has no form*, just think Des, if God didn't love us there might be nothing We're in the world, right? If he didn't allow us to live in this world, shouldn't we exist?" I just nodded secretly at what Darren said. What he says is true.

"But Des, if you want I can buy you a new phone?" I smiled at what he said and out of my own accord I hugged him and then kissed him on the cheek.

"Thank you, Darren"

Today, I've learned that Love is the most important thing in a person's life. Because if we don't love we are nothing. It's just fun to think that I hope and hope that when we go home to our own house, Darren will remain this kind and sweet.

I hope that when we return, Chiara will not be the one registered in his heart but me.
