"Good point." He smiled as he exits my room.
An hour later, we were standing in front of the Empire State Building. I looked up at the skyscraper, in awe. I turn to look at Alex who was already staring at me. "Do you like it?"
"I love it." I said in a high pitch sound.
"Great, cause we're going up." he took my hands in his and we walked to the entrance. After we entered when I looked around, it was crowded, I guess it would be. Everyone wants to see the view at the top. I was dying to see it too. I held his hands tightly, with a smile. I'm so excited about this. Alex told me that a few months ago I told him that I'd never been to the Empire State Building before and that's why he took me today. To fulfil something on my bucket list.
The tour guide started to tell us a little history about the building, "There are 102 floors in the Empire State Building. 1050 feet is 86th floor and that is for the observatory. It weighs 365000 tons." Visitors awed, including me. Alex stayed silent with his eyes close. I smiled as I look at him. His hair slightly brushing his forehead. I had the urge to move it, so I did. He opened his eyes in shock but as he notices me, his eyes soften.
"Sorry."
"It's okay, love." He then held my hands then closed his eyes.
I didn't turn my head from his face. I admire him more. He's beautiful, not what you'll use to describe a man but he is. Not just physically but in every other way. Ever since I've woken from my coma he has shown me nothing but love and he utters it daily. My heart rate increases whenever he's around, my palms get sweaty and I can't help but smile. Though sometimes he's a little weird, like this morning. I know he loves me, but I never knew anyone can love someone as much as he loves me. The question is Does the old me feel the same way?
The new me definitely does.
I think so.
My heart tells me so.
Kalliyah's POV
I looked at the view of the city in awe. The view is spectacular. Around were apartments, other skyscrapers, the sea and everything look so serene. The atmosphere was also calming. Alex was holding my hands and he was also mesmerized by the view even though it wasn't his first time here but let's be honest, this wasn't something you get over.
"Do you like it?" I turn to look at Alex as he asked the stupidest question ever.
"Alex, I don't like it." he made a sad face then I continued. "I love it, just like I love you."
He smiled and loosens his grip on my hands, he then placed the other hand around my waist and pulled me closer. I was toe to toe with him. He's way taller than me but it didn't make him looking in my eyes less romantic.
I look up at him and smile. "You're so tall."
He smiled, "You're so short." I pout at him. "But I don't mind bending my head."
"Bending your head? Why?" I'm completely lost. Why would he want to bent his head?
"I'll bend my head for this." His lips were now directly in front of my own, I looked at his lips. They look so kissable. I looked up in his eyes and he was staring back with his brown ones. I look back down at his lips that were mere inches away from mine
Should I?
Hell, I will.
I wrapped my arms around his neck and pushed him closer so his lips could touch mine and when they did I felt my heart start pounding but not in a bad way. Alex didn't do anything at first but after a while, I felt him push his tongue into my mouth. I start kissing him back immediately. I moaned enjoying the kiss, I didn't want it to end.
"These modern-day young people always showing public afflictions, no one uses bed anymore." I felt Alex tense as he heard those words. We pulled away from each other embarrassed at the old woman's words. Why couldn't she just have ignored us? They were many couples kissings why did she have to choose us to torment?
I turned my head to the view ignoring the persons staring at us. The old woman words sure brought some attention to Alex and I.
Come on, give us a break.
We were just sharing a romantic moment, if it wasn't for that old rag we would have still been kissing.
Alex tug my hand. "Come on, let's go get pizza" he suggested, it would have been so awkward if we stayed, leaving is the best solution.
I grabbed another slice of pizza and placed it to my mouth.
Delicious. I moan.
"Don't moan like that," Alex said and I raised my brows. "The only thing that should have you moaning is me."
My face immediately heats up and I blush with my mouth full.
Alex starts to laugh. "Hahaha, Don't blush with food in your mouth, sweetheart."
I reached for another slice of pizza and Alex slapped my hands away. I look up at him in fiery. Why did he slap my hand away?
"You're not going to eat anymore, this one is mine and so are the other two. You've eaten enough already. Don't want you getting lazy and sleepy at the amusement park."
My eyes widen and I smirk, "So that's where you're taking me." I looked at him as he realized the secret was no longer secret. "In that case, I won't be full, I'll need at least one more to build my energy up. Please." I said with a pout.
I knew he doesn't like to see me sad, that's one of his weakness. "I promise."
