Please Confess Your Love to Me(4)

9

Maverick was a handsome, well-educated, and intelligent person in school. Now, he was an intern in a good enterprise that was full of elite.

My roommate told me, "Maverick hasn't confessed his love to you yet. Does he have an interest in another girl? Even if he has no interest in you, your status is ambiguous. If a flirty woman has his heart, what are you going to do?"

I suddenly felt a sense of crisis. Was Maverick really such a bad guy?

Although I believed that Maverick should not have such a bad intention, I could not guarantee that he would suddenly be tired of me, an innocent woman, and attracted by a mature and sexy woman. Sometimes men just could not stand such seduction.

So, why did Maverick not confess to me?

I could not wait and finally decided to take the initiative to "take him down."

Who would have thought that I who called him a hooligan at that time would be a hooligan now?

On the weekend, I deliberately went to the mall in advance to shop with my roommates. I bought a long dark green dress and matched it with a pair of high heels. My hair was draped down, and I put on glamorous makeup. Besides, I also asked for leave from the dorm administrator. Then, I set off with determination to win Maverick's heart tonight.

On the way, I felt that I was the brightest star.

Maverick was obviously stunned.

First, he asked, "Aren't you cold?"

Then, for his second question, he asked, "Can you walk in high heels?"

Maverick completely ignored my sexy look.

My face darkened, and I instantly did not want to talk to him.

It turned out that Maverick's worry was reasonable. I did not realize it when I went out. After dinner, the wind breezed, and I sneezed.

"Are you feeling cold?"

"No."

"You're stubborn."

Maverick took off his coat and covered my head with it. His black coat was big and wide, and I felt as if I was covered in a bag.

I wanted to take it off. "It doesn't look good."

"You look pretty."

I looked at him, and he was expressionless as he said, "You didn't look good just now."

I doubted his aesthetic. "Don't I look good in a dress?"

Maverick thought for a while and said cautiously, "You look like a cucumber."

Cucumber?

Me?

Unexpectedly, Maverick was not finished yet. "Don't wear such high heels in the future."

He was so nosy. I got angry. "Why?"

"It's not good for your feet. It's easy to cause metatarsalgia or synovitis."

Maverick was concerned for me, and my anger was relieved. However, he said, "Actually, I don't mind your short height."

He did not mind about me, but now I did mind about him.

My original plan was to go around after dinner until the dorm door was closed, and then find a small hotel to stay in for a night so as to confirm my identity as his girlfriend.

I did not expect that Maverick's words would come true. I had just walked a few steps before I sprained my foot.

Maverick looked at me with an expression saying, "Look, that's what I said just now." Then, he bent down to put me on his back, took my high heels with both hands, and went back to school.

"How about we stay outside today?"

I blushed like a persimmon and finally summoned up the courage to say what I wanted to say all night.

Unexpectedly, Maverick paused as if thinking of something. He said with a smile, "Are you finally free today?"

"What?"

I did not understand what he said. Maverick continued, "Didn't you say it before? We'll date again when we have time."

I just remembered our embarrassing encounter when we met for the first time.

"I thought you wanted to sleep with me. Sorry, but I can't do it today. Let's do it another day."

I buried my face in his back. "I didn't mean that. I didn't know you at that time, so I thought you were..."

"Well, I understand," Maverick said.

Then, he smiled, "I didn't misunderstand you."

Although he said he did not misunderstand me, he sent me downstairs to the dorm.

I climbed down from Maverick's back and felt slightly disappointed.

It was rare for me to be brave, but did he just reject me?

The couples at the door of the dorm hugged each other in pairs intimately.

Maverick and I stood at a distance. A truck could even pass between us.

At this time, I still could not figure out what his trick was. Things had already progressed to this point. He should confess to me already.

However, he did not.

I guess Maverick probably did not like me that much.

"Yuliana!"

I was about to turn around when someone called me.

Joshua happened to pass by my dorm with a guitar on his back.

"Did you just come back from the Art Centre?"

I knew that the freshmen were rehearsing the welcome program, and Joshua had a solo performance.

Joshua stared at me for a moment, and his round eyes seemed to shimmer.

His expression was written on his face. He said, "You are so beautiful today."

His sentence flattered my vanity.

Look, this was the normal person's reaction.

My gloomy mood became better because of Joshua's praise. Before I could speak, my eyesight suddenly darkened.

Maverick's coat was covering me again.

Only then did Joshua notice Maverick. He scratched his head and said, "Hi, Maverick."

Then, he turned to look at me and said, "Yuliana, do you have time tomorrow? I'll play guitar for you after I finish my practice."

"She's not free. We have something to do tomorrow."

Before I could speak, Maverick spoke first.

What was wrong with him today?

The light in Joshua's eyes went out as if he had realized something was wrong. He looked at Maverick first and then at me. "Oh, Maverick, Yuliana, you guys have your time first. I'm going back to the dorm."

"Why did you decide for me?"

As soon as Joshua left, my emotions burst out.

Maverick's face did not look good either. "He likes you."

"It's none of your business!"

"I'm your boyfriend. It's my business."

I was stunned because of this sentence. "Boyfriend? Did you confess your love? Did I agree?"

Did Maverick think that we were in a relationship when we watched a movie and had dinner?

However, Maverick was also stunned. "You said yes when I picked you up at the Students' Union gathering that day."

Did I?

Why did not I remember it at all?

So now I had been in a relationship for half a month?

I could not accept it. "I didn't know that you confessed your love. No one would take a drunk's words seriously. You are bullying me."

Maverick's eyes narrowed slightly. "You didn't know we were together, and you asked me to go to the hotel?"

I was speechless.

So, was this the point now?

My purpose to go to the hotel was to sleep with him.

"That didn't count. You need to confess your love to me again."

I began to play tricks. "No one will be together with a girl as casual as you. It's strange."

After saying that, Maverick was silent for a moment. I saw that his ears began to turn red again. When I thought he would not speak, he suddenly said, "Yuliana, I like you."

My heart suddenly paused. Maverick continued, "I like you when I first met you. So, I found an excuse to teach you Uprian, give you gifts, jog with you, and send you home. I'm not that free to be good to every girl. I'm doing all this because I like you."

My heart was beating fast, but I suddenly thought of the scene of the first time we met. "Because I went to the men's restroom?"

Did he have this kind of preference?

Maverick flicked me hard and said, "What are you thinking about every day? I'm the one who helped you on your first day of school. Otherwise, why would I be willing to guard the door for a girl?"

"What?"

After Maverick said that, I slowly remembered that the senior who helped me to carry my luggage was indeed very handsome, and he was very similar to Maverick.

The look in Maverick's eyes gradually became dangerous. "Yuliana, you gave me a piece of chocolate and asked me if I had a girlfriend while grinning. Don't you remember it at all?"

I was lost for words.

"So, you didn't recognize me at all, and you were still yelling at the door of the men's restroom to add me on WhatsApp and wanting to date me?"

I did not say anything.

Wait, why was I in a weak position now?

I was afraid that Maverick would go on talking. I stood on tiptoe and kissed his lips, but I forgot that I had just sprained my ankle. It hurt and I almost fell to the ground.

Maverick quickly held me in his arms and kissed me again. He was like a desert traveler who had been depressed for a long time and found water. I could feel Maverick's restraint and forbearance.

Probably not used to kissing in public, he quickly separated from me. I licked my wet lips and asked, "Do you want to sleep with me?"

Maverick quickly took me into the dorm. Looking at his cold expression, I kept on laughing.

Maverick and I were finally together. Although the process was tortuous and it took much time, the ending was good.

Later, Maverick told me that the flask he gave me was not just a flask. It had the meaning of accompanying me his whole life.

He said that he had given me his whole life, and it meant he liked me.

I could not help to feel amused. I guess even a witty talk show host had to be impressed by Maverick's wit.

After we were together, I had thought of breaking up with him a thousand times, but in the end, Maverick always made me happy in a strange way.

I wanted to thank Maverick. He taught me love was about waiting, tolerating, understanding, and also living a simple life every day.

I also hoped that everyone could find their own happiness.
