The Birthday Of A Special Stranger

Her sweet voice brought him back to earth.

  "It's indeed a nice place, how come I have never noticed it before ? "

She looked at him with a beaming smile on her face.

  "It's probably because you're such a dummy, now let me sit properly"

Joleen sat on the green grass, leaning her back on a tree. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath as the gentle breeze moved her black silky hair.

 "As much as I love your hair, it's really bothering me right now since I can't see your pretty face clearly "

She flinched as she swiftly opened her eyes to face his extremely close face.

"Don't you think that you're being too close? Do you have a death wish ? "

Edward smirked while putting his head on her l.a.p, like a child seeking his mother's comfort.

" I'll stop teasing you, but only if you allow me to chill in your arms "

Joleen couldn't refuse what she secretly longed for. Noticing that, Edward giggled at the way her face looked when she f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y tried frowning her eyebrows. He suddenly paused, covered both his eyes with his arm and sighed.

 "I love you"

Then added, in a shakily sincere voice

"So much, I love you so much "

Joleen could barely breathe as her heart beats went wild. She gently brushed his hair with her skinny white fingers as she spoke.

 " I can't really remember the exact time I fell for you. All I know is that I have already fallen too deep, and it's almost impossible for me to stand on my feet again. So.. I guess I'm stuck with you forever "

 "Babe don't cry, you know how those tears are my weakness point. Although I won't deny that a part of me is thrilled to see how much you love me "

He gently wiped her tears with his thumbs and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. Joleen felt Edward's warmth and love, moments before she got startled by a familiar voice.
