Chapter 49: Midnight Firework Natalia’s POV The sound is so annoying that it stopsfrom falling asleep.
“What the fuck?” I groan, jumping off bed and heading towards the window.
Then the next second, before I grab the handle, a bright and flashy beam of light shots up in front of my window It’s a firework! I'm so amazed by the view in front ofthat | freeze up on the spot. Those starry sparks explode into a thousand glamorous particles of light, like rainfall of diamond and gems, and completely light up the velvet summer night.
Moments later, the show finally stops. | immediately rush forward and shove the window open. Looking down, | find Eason standing on the ground, holding a few firework sticks, grinning at me.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis is probably the scene every girl has been dreaming for, a hot boy waiting in front of the window, lighting the firework.
And on top of everything, Eason himself is every girl's dream.
“What-what are you doing here? Where did you get this?” | ask, breathing fast.
“I brough it from your mom's party,” he laughs. “You like it?” “From my mom's party? Oh my god she'll kill you.” “Relax. Are you allergic to romantic stuff?” he rolls his eyes. “These are the extras.” | can’t stop myself from smiling. Him, the summer night, the firework...even if this is just a short summer fling, it has to be the best I've ever have.
“So,” he raises his head and looks at me. “Can | cup there?” | hold my breath involuntarily. “...Why?" “Relax. | won't push you,” he spreads his hands. “I know you need tto think. | just want to spend the night with you...lying on the bed by your side.” God. Can anyone say no to him? Before | even realize, I've already blurted out, “Come, but be quiet.” His smile grows wider and disappears from my view.
Moments later, | hear a gentle knock on my door. Feeling my heartbeat accelerating, | immediately rush to the door and get it. The door opens up and I'm greeted by his face and a bunch of red roses.
“You-“I feel my cheek flaming, “You brought these from my mom too?” “No. Hand-picked byfrom the garden today,” he bows and handthe bouquet. “Can’t go on a date without flowers, right?” | bury my face in the roses and smell the flower, the corner of my lips curving up. He can be so thoughtful and sweet when he wants to.
“I love it,” | say earnestly, “Cin, quick.” 2009 Mr mM work I'let him in and close the door behind him.
He said he wanted to sleep withand nothing else, and that’s exactly what he does. We lie on the bed face to face, with my head resting on his arms. He patsgently, humming a soft song. Sleepiness findsagain quickly Before | fall asleep completely, | feel a soft kiss land on my forehead.

She will be ashamed. And she will taste the skind of bitterness that she leftwith three years ago. 1 I imagine her face at that moment once again. | should feel triumph and excitement. But surprisingly, an unsettling and frantic feeling grips my heart.

No. I can’t let her softenup..
