Awake on his bed

Maria had a fight with herself. Her mind was telling her to ignore Tobias but her heart was telling her to come to him and listened to his explanations!

She was beyond shocked! She thought that the man behind her was Jake but to her horror it was Tobias!

Her feelings for him that she pushed at the very back of her heart was now on its first row! Her hatred and anger was here again also!

She slowly walked towards him and planning to slap him!

But,

What the heck!

She was hugging him tightly before she realized what she has done!

And when she felt his warm body against her, all her hatred and anger was vanished into thin air, all was left was her love for him! The wall that she build for him was now destroyed!

Maria felt that Tobias hugged her back. Her body immediately became stiff and she stepped back to have a space between them. Her face blushed instantly and she felt humiliated.

'stupid! What would Tobias think of me now, easy to get?! Shuckss!'

Maria thought bashfully. She doesn't want to speak, so she waited for Tobias to be the first to talk.

Tobias seemed to saw her silence as his cue to talk. He regained his self and courage before he started to talked to her gently.

"I'm so sorry, I wanted to tell you about it but you seemed to hate your father to the bones and his lover! I was torn between you and my mother. I was so enraged when I first knew that my mother was leaving us because of another man! I thought I reached my limit, but when I found out that she was with your father, I felt my anger went to nth level!"

She heard Tobias talked miserably. He seemed to be telling the truth. But Maria hold back a little.

"I was so mad at my mother, I told her that she destroyed not only our family but also yours! But who am I to forbid them? I'm just a teenage boy who needs the support of my parents. My relationship with her turned from sweet to bitter. Especially when I heard the news that you lost your mom. I'm very sorry about that, really."

She painfully remembered that time,then she watched as Tobias slowly kneeled on the floor!

"I really really really wanted to tell you but I was afraid at the same time that you will leave me immediately when you found out! I knew that I'm a coward, would you please gave me another chance?"

Tobias said, he looked miserable and determined at the same time. Maria saw the tear escaped from his eyes!

She was already crying, but when she SSW his tears she cried even harder!

'sh*t! Would you please just say those three magic words?! And I'm willing to forgave you! Idiot!'
