BXBX NOVEL Chapter 220 - He Likes Me ?!.......
While Helios was heading towards Aria\'s home like a volcano ready to erupt from anger , Aria was searching for her phone . She looked everywhere but she couldn\'t find her phone at all .
" Where could it be ?! I am pretty sure that I left it on the table after I spoke with Florence...Weird ! " said Aria with a confused expression .
Aria looked around and noticed that Aden was strangely quiet .
" Aden ?! What are you doing ?! " said Aria , staring at him with a suspicious look .
Aden froze for a second then looked at his sister .
" Da.....da...da ?! " said Aden with a forced smiling expression .
" Where is my phone , sir Aden ?! " said Aria with a serious expression while looking at the hands that Aden was hiding behind his back .
Aden was nervous and stepped a bit back when he heard her words . He knew that Aria was always very strict when it came to her phone .
" Da.....da... " said Aden .
Aria went near him and took her phone from his hands .
" Never take sister\'s phone again ! Am I clear ?! " said Aria with a serious expression .
" Ya ! " said Aden .
\' Good ! He seems to have learned his lesson . I better check if there\'s any message from mom or Ace . Mom can be quite scary when I don\'t answer her back .\' thought Aria and sat on the couch with the phone in her hands .
When she opened her chatting app , she noticed that the last person to whom she had written was Helios . In Aria\'s phone, he was named as the narcist blonde donkey .
\' What in the world....?! I sent that donkey a message ?!... \' thought Aria surprised because she was sure that she hadn\'t written to him at all since she got the new phone , although she had saved his number .
When Aria opened their chat , she saw that she had sent him a video .
\' I don\'t remember having such a video....Did Aden do a weird video and send it to him ?! \' thought Aria and looked at her brother .
When Aria played the video she heard Florence\'s voice and their kiss . Aria remained shocked when she saw the video . She didn\'t expect that Florence would have such an intention towards her when he , himself told her that he didn\'t come on their blind date to try and have a romantic relationship with her . She also made herself clear that she wouldn\'t date anyone for the time being because she had other things to focus on .
She opened her gallery of photos ad noticed that the video was recorded yesterday night .
\' Florence.......Right....yesterday night he brought the beers . We both got drunk and....he confessed to me ?!....To me ?! \' thought Aria with a shocked expression .
Aria didn\'t know what to feel at this moment . She was angry that he kissed her while she was unconscious , she liked him because he was a gentle and good friend , she was grateful to him for helping her with her brother\'s issue , her heart had skipped a beat for him due to his unusually kind and funny nature but at the same time, she felt like she couldn\'t return his feelings the way that he was waiting for .
\' I never thought that a good looking person like him........would confess to a plain and stubborn girl like me . It doesn\'t seem right ! Still....Florence isn\'t like those other boys that would play a prank on me and telling me they love me just to trick me when I say yes...No !.......He is a great guy but I don\'t think that I can give him my heart . I only want to stay by his side as a friend or rather.....as one of those best friends types........Haaaaaa.......! How did things turn out this way ?!.....I don\'t remember ever doing something to make him misunderstand my actions . I would feel incredibly bad if I made him misunderstand me.....AGHH !!! Why me ?!...I don\'t wanna hurt him , yet I don\'t have any other way to make myself clear . If I reject him , his pride will be hurt . My presence will remind him of the unpleasant rejection and he will no longer be my friend.........How would I wish that this was just a lie and he played a prank on me ! That way , I wouldn\'t be forced to be the bad guy......It feels awful ! \' thought Aria with a dejected expression .
She hated the thought that she had to hurt Florence by rejecting him but there was no the way that she could accept . Her heart did skip a beat for him once but that beat , wasn\'t strong enough to make her heart pound .
" Aria !...Aria ! " said a voice coming from outside .
" Who ??..... " said Aria surprised and went at the window to check .
" Wait ! Don\'t open the curtain ! Please , come down ! " said the voice again .
When Aria heard it and immediately recognized that it was Florence\'s voice .
\' What is he doing ?!...Well , I guess that this came as a bit too unexpected . A millionaire surgeon confessing his love to me.......Seriously ! Don\'t kid me ! I am not crazy enough to believe that such a good chance would be bestowed on me.......I know the meter of my luck and my case is far away from being lucky . \' thought Aria with a sight and looked at Aden .
" Aden ! Please don\'t do anything and watch TV quietly for a couple of minutes . Sister will be back soon . " said Aria with a smile and Aden nodded his head .
" Dada ! " said Aden and went back to watching TV .
Aria went out of the door and looked at the stairs . She didn\'t know how to face him right now . She was afraid that she would hurt him . Aria liked Florence but only as a good friend to whom she could talk too and even have a good time while chatting and going for a walk .
When Aria was about to step outside , she saw a weird light . She opened the door and to her surprise , the pathway was filled with red rose petals . At the corner of the pathway , the fire coming from the gold candles , lighted the way .
She looked ahead and Florence was standing right in front of her with a giant bouquet of roses in his hands . He was wearing a black formal suit , his expensive Rolex watch and his shoes also looked expensive . His hair was combed and he was all dressed up . At first sight , he was the perfect prince charming of the night with his amazingly handsome aura .
\' ....Wow !....Who am I ?!......Where am I ?!....Is this really the garden of my apartment ?! \' thought Aria while looking at the dreamy romantic atmosphere that Florence had made .
Her thoughts were a mess to the point that she lost sense of reality .
Florence looked at Aria\'s surprised expression and laughed a little .
\' She must have been surprised . I can tell that she likes what I did . \' thought Florence with his cheeks blushing a little .
He walked a few steps towards Aria then looked at her with a warm expression .
" Aria !...I hope that you like what I have prepared . This is especially for you ." said Florence .
" For me ?!..... " said Aria with half a smile .
" I know that you are surprised but.....I couldn\'t think of a better way to express my feelings to you than filling your pathway with delicate roses like yourself . You are just like a rose . You need care and to be treated well so that you can grow even prettier than you already are . This red color that they have......represents the deep affection that I have for you inside my heart . In my world , feelings are restricted but my heart can\'t stop beating each time it sees you . A weird reaction on which I have no control over . From the moment that we met I could tell that you were a special girl . With the time that we spent together , my affection towards you became deeper and deeper to the point that it turned into a serious crush . I like you Aria ! I like you a lot....No ! I love you with all my heart ! Please...become my girlfriend ! " said Florence with a smile and got on his knee , directing the bouquet of roses towards Aria .
