AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Roxane’s eyes widened in disbelief. She stammered,

– H-how, how is this possible?

Sebastian stroked the back of her head. He gently kissed her lips again before saying in a husky, seductive voice:

– Do you really remember anything? So let me help you remember…

Then he repeated their conversation from that night.

– Sebastien, since you don’t have anyone you love, can I pursue you?

– I am very difficult to pursue. What if you fail?

– You took away my first kiss. You don’t have anyone you love so what’s wrong with letting me pursue you? Who knows, maybe you’ll love me?

– Roxane, do you want a real first kiss?

“You… Does that mean I can sue you?”

– No need to pursue me. I like you too.

With each sentence uttered by Sebastien, Roxane’s face grew redder and redder. At the same time, the disjointed memories in his mind began to piece together. In the end, an extremely embarrassed and annoyed expression appeared on his red face. She was really embarrassed for acting like that when she was drunk. She even burped so openly. Above all, she was really annoyed that she had forgotten such an important thing.

She slowly raised her head and glanced at him. She couldn’t help but complain:

“So why didn’t you tell me about it sooner?” You even told me after that night that you were waiting for me to pursue you. You weren’t intimidating me?

Sebastian smiled. His fingers gently caressed the back of her neck as if he were petting a cat. He said :

– You were drunk and you forgot such an important question. I wasn’t even angry, but now you’re blaming me instead?

– Uh…

She quickly smiled innocently, acting cute. She quickly changed the subject and asked:

“So why did you decide to tell me tonight?”

Sebastien’s eyes burned. His warm breath blew against her cheek as he said:

– I said it earlier. I don’t want to wait any longer. Maybe my heart has softened.

After listening to Enzo’s words, he didn’t want to waste another second nor did he want to tease her anymore. He wanted to be with her, he wanted to love her, and he wanted to let her know how important she was to him.

She scratched her ear, not quite understanding his words.

He didn’t explain. He held her hand gently and placed it against his lips before asking:

– Roxane, can you be with me?

When she saw his tender gaze, she lost all resistance. She nodded without hesitation and said shyly:

– All right.

The corners of Sebastien’s lips turned up. He was about to kiss her again when she suddenly pressed her hand to his lips.

As if she had just remembered something, she said:

– No.

He frowned slightly. He had just removed his hand from his lips when he heard her say:

-I cooked you some Longevity noodles. You have to eat it before midnight.

-…

…

To set the mood, she didn’t turn on the lights. Instead, she lit two scented candles.

The bowl of Longevity noodles she cooked was very appetizing. The soup was clear and the texture of the noodles was perfect. There was a fried egg on top of the noodles, and she even sprinkled green onions on top.

Nowadays, most people have followed the Western tradition of cutting the cake and blowing out the candles to celebrate birthdays. However, at this moment, Sebastian felt that there was no cake in the world that could compare to the bowl of Longevity noodles in front of him that seemed to contain incomparable heat. It warmed his stomach and his heart at the same time.

Roxane sat next to him and rested her chin on her hands as she watched him eat with sparkling eyes. From time to time, a smile appeared on his face.

Sebastien turned to her and asked:

-Why are you looking at me?

She smiled shyly before responding in a soft voice:

-Why can’t I look at my boyfriend? He is really handsome after all.

Sebastian was slightly stunned by her words. Then, he smiled, reaching out to gently pinch her cheek.

– Little infatuated fool. So you only like the way I look?

She pouted.

– It’s not that. I don’t just love you because you’re beautiful.

Sebastien raised an eyebrow and asked:

– So why do you love me?

She thought about it for a moment before shaking her head and saying:

– I do not know either. I like you and I want to be with you. I am very happy to be with you.

There was an indescribable feeling of joy and satisfaction in his heart.

The words were simple and direct, but they were enough to move Sebastien. His love was simple and direct; there was no need for a reason. He felt really lucky that she loved him.

When Roxane saw the time on her phone, she sat up and said seriously and sincerely:

– Sebastien, happy birthday!

– THANKS.

She hesitated for a moment before explaining:

“I only found out it was your birthday when I came back early. I didn’t have time to prepare a real gift for you. I definitely won’t forget your birthday next year!

It would seem too hypocritical if she explained too much. It was better to show him next year.

Sebastien put down his chopsticks and said:

– It’s good. I have already received your gift.

She thought he was talking about her previous performance, so an embarrassed expression immediately appeared on her face.

-I just wanted to please you. I didn’t mean anything else by that. If you feel it’s embarrassing, then hurry up and forget it. Act like you didn’t see anything…

– I love him very much and I am very happy, declared Sebastien,

– You were beautiful and your singing was also very good…

He was not at all stingy with his praise, and every word came from the bottom of his heart.

Roxane lowered her head shyly. She couldn’t hold back the smile on her face at all, revealing her dimples.

– I hope you will always be happy.

– I will, declared Sebastien, saying to himself:

– As long as you stay by my side forever…

After a moment he added:

– You dance very well, but don’t do it again next time.

The smile on Roxane’s face froze. “What does he mean? Am I looked down upon?”Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Sebastien got up and took it to the kitchen. When he saw the sad expression on her face, he leaned down and whispered:

– It’s so cute that your boyfriend couldn’t control himself if he saw him again…

She felt her body soften when she heard those words and felt his warm breath. She quickly covered her face with both hands while laughing.

“It’s finish.”

…

The next day, Roxane put on a white sweater and a long skirt before going downstairs.

Sebastien frowned slightly when he saw her.

– You’re not cold ?

She was in a good mood.

– I’m not cold.

Sebastien, who had been looking at her skirt all morning, finally couldn’t help but ask:

– Do you want to change into pants?

Although he didn’t want to interfere too much with her choices, the temperature was quite low outside. Wouldn’t she freeze if she wore a skirt?

-Why do I have to change? Doesn’t that look nice?

She asked looking down at her skirt.

– Rather than looking good, you should pay attention to the weather and your health.

Roxane felt rather speechless. She opened her mouth to defend herself.

– I wear…

Sebastien intervened:

– It’s getting late. Go upstairs and put on some pants.

He didn’t give her a chance to refuse and gently pushed her upstairs.

Roxane: …

-How pitiful! My beautiful skirt was rejected by my boyfriend on our first day dating! Is he the type of overly worried boyfriend?
