Chapter 78 - 78 - Emails From The Past

I looked around again to search for him but I couldn't find him. Where is he? Is he pranking me? I thought to myself.

I got curious about the emails he just sent, only to be surprised. It wasn't dated today. The first email was dated on the day I went missing.

My heart started pounding and my hand was trembling when I opened the first email.

'Peggy, this is the first night that I would sleep without you. The room seems empty as well as my heart. Where are you? Are you safe? I want you to know that I'm worried. I am hoping I know the reason why you left. Did I do something wrong? Please come back. I promise I will change. Please be safe.'

Tears started flowing from my eyes. This was a scheduled email.

I read the other emails and it was all about how much he misses me, his search for me and the loneliness he was feeling without me.

I opened another email dated a year ago that crashed my heart.

'Love, it's been two years but I still couldn't forget you. I tried by getting involved with other women. But every time I date one, I only see your face. I feel like I'm going crazy! I'm always thinking about you and the baby. I'm sorry I wasn't there when the baby was born. Are you both safe? I found the places you've been and slept there for a couple of days, imagining that both of you were there. I feel so lonely, Peggy. This may be the last letter I'll be sending you. I couldn't take the loneliness anymore. When you read my letters, I hope you could forgive me and I hope you find your happiness without me. Please take care. I love you so much!'

Tears just keep on falling from my eyes. I felt like something was blocking my throat. I looked around the library and ran, searching for him.

"Love, where are you?" I shouted.

I ran to the third floor and saw flower petals on the floor. I was still crying when I walked through the path full of flowers, like an aisle provided just for me. My heart kept on thumping loudly, sobbing, I continued to walk. I saw him standing by the couch, holding another bouquet of flowers.

I couldn't take it anymore so I rushed into him, jumped into his arms and pressed my trembling lips into his.

I kissed him like I've never kissed him before. He wrapped his arms around my waist while still holding the flowers.

I slightly bit his lower lip and slid my tongue inside his mouth. I felt his tongue meet mine, dancing and gliding with each other.

I held the back of his head and pushed it forward, pressing it closer to my face. But he moved slightly backward so he could see me. He frowned when he noticed I was crying.

"Hey what is it? Why are you crying? Did something happen?" He asked, worried.

He touched my face with the back of his hand and gently wiped the tears flowing from my eyes.

"Your emails! I received your emails!" I said while sobbing.

He got confused then his eyes widened when he realized what I was talking about.

"Oh shoot! That was today!" He exclaimed.

He scratched his head and his face was blushing.

"I'm sorry. I forgot the scheduled emails." He said.

I couldn't say a word, I just kept on sobbing.

"Love, don't think about it. It was all in the past. I wrote it because I missed you so much but I'm not lonely anymore. I'm happy you're in front me now. You and Caden are finally here with me, and we'll get married tomorrow so I couldn't ask for more. I don't know how to explain it, but my heart was jumping for joy, now that we are together." He brushed his hand into my face again and pulled me, kissing the top of my head.

"I don't want to see you cry anymore. I promised I would make you happy, not make you cry." He continued.

I nodded. I don't want to ruin this happy moment of ours, I just got emotional when I read the letters.

I tilted my chin up to his face and sweetly smiled at him.

"Is this for me?" I asked, looking at the flowers.

"Of course, my love." He said while handing me the bouquet of roses.

I giggled and took it. Then I pulled him onto the couch, pushing him gently so he could sit down.

I stood in front of him and smelled the flowers. I saw a note attached to it. When I looked at him, he was smiling naughtily.

I opened the note and bit my lips when I saw what was written on it.

'Will you undress in front of me and sit on my face? I want to eat you.'

"We were supposed to do that if you want it but it was ruined because of my emails, I'm sorry I made you cry again." He said with a slight sadness in his voice.

"No. I felt your sincerity and loyalty when I read them. It was sad but I know now how much you love me. Thank you for waiting for me." I said sincerely.

"Come here!" He pulled me to sit on his lap and hugged me by the waist.

"I guess we're really young back then. And now, we found the real meaning of true love. No matter how many years and miles apart, our hearts will always belong to each other." He said while gazing at me.

"You are my one and only true love." I answered before leaning forward to his face.

I leaned to his forehead, just making our faces closer.

"Let's stay like this for awhile. We could always do everything after the wedding. I don't want to exhaust you and couldn't walk in the aisle tomorrow." He joked and we laughed.

"Are you done with your dress? I can't wait to see you tomorrow." He asked and I could see his eyes sparkling with happiness.

"Yes. I'm really hoping you will like it." I answered.

"Hey I told you, anything looks good on you even with nothing." He wet his lips before planting kisses to mine.

I giggled.

"How about you and the boys? The girls and the kids were having their measurements done when I left."

"I already got mine. I prepared it before coming here." He said, blushing.

I was surprised so I was frowning when I looked at him.

"Remember what I told your grandpa? I came here to apologize and ask your hand for marriage so I brought one just in case you agreed. And you really did!"

I didn't say a word but pulled his head towards mine and kissed him one more time.
