Chapter 254 - Side - Luke And Alora Part 5

"Alora, please come back to me." I whispered softly before putting my lips into hers. Her lips tastes like candy. I slowly moved my lips when I saw her closed her eyes. I put my right arms around her waist as I kisses her softly and passionately. Her body is so soft and sexy. I can feel the heat coming up from my body. Before I lose control, I released her lips and with a worried face I waited for her to slap me. I know this is her first kiss and I just took it from her.

Her breathing went back to normal and I noticed that her face is red. Is she blushing? "Alora, are you okay now? What happened?" I asked. I need to know what just happened and I will do everything to know what it is.

"It's a panic attack. I've had it since primary school. It's no big deal. Thank you for helping me. So can you let go of me now?" I realized I'm still holding her and both of us are still in kneeling position. I helped her stand up. Not a big deal she said. A panic attack? Is that because of that incident? Does her family know about this?

"I don't think its not a big deal, Alora. What if I didn't chase you? What if I didn't came here? What will happen to you? Let's go see the school doctor." I tried to hold her hand but she avoided it. That was fast.

"No! I don't want to see any doctor. I don't want anyone to know about this. So can you just keep quiet about this? If you didn't push my limits, it will not happen in the first place. I told you I don't want to talk to you and needed some air but you insisted. And besides, if you didn't see me, I will just pass out and will wake up like nothing happened." She said it just like that. Like her life is not important. I feel sad. Is this pity? No. My decision to marry her was not because of her wealth. And definitely not because of this. It's my personal decision.

"Don't look at me like that. Don't pity me. The last thing I want from you is pity. Just go to class Luke and leave me alone." This girl is really difficult. I sighed.

"Alora, I'm your fiance now. Everything that will happen to you is now my business. I can't just ignore it. I don't want to force you to talk about what happened earlier, I won't force you to go see the doctor and I won't tell anyone about this. But in one condition." I'm not sure if she will agree. This might sound a bargain or another agreement, whatever people call it but this is the only way I can think of so she can agree to marry me. If keeping her secret is the only way then so be it.

"Okay, what is it?" she asked.

I smiled. My heart skipped a bit. Am I excited? I just think that this is really the chance that Sophie is talking about.

"Attend our engagement tomorrow night and accept me as your fiance." Now I said it. Is this a proposal? More like an order. Maybe I should ask properly.

Without thinking, I bend down my knees, took her hand again and asked. "Alora Elizabeth Smith, will you marry me?"

ALORA POV

"Alora, I know this is sudden but believe me, this is my personal decision. You know that no one can make a decision for me even my father. If you ask me why, I cannot give you an answer because I don't know it myself. I just really want to be close to you. Earlier, when I kissed you, I know you felt it too. You know I can help you. I promise I won't tell anyone about this. You may think that I am using what you're going through but I really want to help you. So please, will you agree to be my fiance from now on?" Luke is right, I felt it. When he held me earlier, I feel safe. When he holds my hand, my heart seems at peace and my mind was clear. When he kissed me, all of my mixed emotions becomes one, I feel happy. I can't explain it as well but for the longest time, this is the first time that I wanted someone to save me, to comfort me. Maybe Luke is the answer. I looked directly into his eyes and I can see his sincerity. But I'm still doubting this whole set up.

"Luke, you know this is crazy. We're still young. What if I make your life miserable? I'm not the girl you want to be with. There's something wrong with me. You saw that right? I don't feel anything at all. All my emotions, its either messed up or gone. I don't want anyone to suffer because of me." If I agree to this marriage, he might end up like me.

"The fact that you're concerned that I may also suffer, it means you haven't lost all your emotions. Alora, there might be a chance that you can be cured. Please let me help you." Again, his voice is reassuring and calm. Maybe he's right, this might help me afterall. I realised he's still on his knees. I sighed.

"Luke Matthew Wilson, I'm not sure if this is the right decision, you might be the one who can help me or we may both end up in the dark in the end. I did warn you but since you insisted and our parents blessed us already then yes I will marry you." Whatever! This maybe the craziest decision I will make in my life but somehow, I'm hoping that he will be able to save me.

Luke smiled and stood up. He suddenly hugged me and kissed my forehead. I didn't resist. He looked at me and I know he was about to kiss me again when I noticed there's someone watching us. It was a girl! She suddenly run off when she saw me looking at her. Then a phone rings. It was Luke's. He frowned and answer his phone with his right hand. He smiled at me and squeezed my hand.. He didn't let go of me.
