The Devil's Sweetheart

Her one line of misunderstanding would have erased the happy moments they shared if Devin was not cautious enough and come transparent with her. Although they were not officially a couple in the past, they almost behaved like one, that's what he felt. The three words were at the tip of his mouth and he wanted to tell those three magical words when he confessed his feelings but it's not the time and he knew Leena would not accept it if he made it simple, after all, she is an attention seeker. She would shamelessly ask for a huge one or more she would nag him for not giving a proper proposal. If everyone is born crazy, only she remained that way.

When Leena has taken the initiative to kiss him, Devin was like a dog with two tails. She hates being touched by a man and now she has turned over a new leaf. He was proud that only he was the one to bring her out of that state. His thoughts were broken when a sweet mellifluous voice seeped into his ears.

"Devin...." Her voice babbled happily like a mountain river.

"Hm?" When the name escaped from her lips again, it threw him to the edges causing him to have a buck fever like novice hunters experience a nervous excitement at the sight of a game. From the day, they knew each other, she called out his name for the first time when they were drowning in each other's passion and he was in tenterhooks expecting to hear his name to boot. With the vigor she was calling his name, his heart is racing at a zillion horsepower speed.

"Devin....." Leena called him all over again. They were still in the secret room and like a koala, Leena was cuddling him, except that her face is now resting on his shoulders. Even when he wanted to carry her out of the room, she didn't let him. She wanted to be in the secret room for a while which he has taken an effort in designing for herself.

"Hm...Tell me, sweetheart."

"I like your name." All in honest, Leena liked his name when Reese talked about Devin for the first time, and instantly she liked the name and even felt jealous that her mom has not thought of such a unique name for her. "Ask me what's in your name that I liked? I will tell you the answer."

Crazy idiot, Devin thought. Then she should have answered it straight away. Why asking me again? It's like posting a picture on Facebook or Instagram and asking friends to post a comment on it and then shamelessly replying a thank you to the post. He was sure that she would be doing these kinds of things. His brother has a habit of doing this kinky stuff.

"What's the thing you liked in my name? Is the question okay for you, madam?"

"I guess it's fine. Since you are begging for my answer, I will take that opportunity. Your name has everything you do. Did you find my answer cute?"

"Damn cute." But phsyco, he kept the thought to himself.

"Thank you." She added with a sheepish smile. "When did you capture the photos? I never knew you are so good at photography." She was amazed by his photography skills. Although she has seen it already when he taught her the basics, it was still a surprise that he is talented in everything. She felt the photos a little similar to her beloved photographer, except that he is more into capturing animals, galaxies, and landscapes.

"From the day you came to Seattle. I secretly captured them. I kept it as secret thinking that you would bark at me if you ever find them." He explained.

"I am not a dog." She hit his shoulders with her fists.

"And they said, the barking dog never bites but didn't you bite Andrew?" Recalling the memory of that night, he chuckled remembering her funny feasts after inhaling nitrous oxide.

"He deserves it for not allowing me to see you," Leena added. "Put me down. I can walk."

"No." He instantly decided.

"Fine." She sighed at his clinginess. "Then at least take me out of the room. I got something for you."

"What is it?" He asked with an excitement-filled voice. Did she bring another gift just like the watch she gifted? Speaking of the gift, he is yet to give her and he made a note to give something which she would never forget.

"You will know it soon until then it's a secret." She took one last glance at her portrait before Devin carried her out of the room. Leena asked Devin to wait in the bedroom and rushed outside where she has thrown her purse. Grabbing the neatly wrapped decorated wrap, from it, she rushed to the bedroom where he was waiting.

"Where did you go?" He asked when Leena was acting all secret putting her hands at her back. "You don't even know the way properly."

"I am intelligent unlike you." She proudly brandished herself and handed him the decorative gift." This is for you."

"What is it?" It was neatly decorated with fine paper and when he opened it, a letter was sitting on it which surprised him. Did she write a letter for me?

"Read it by yourself." Sheepishly, she rushed out of the room when she couldn't watch into his eyes when he is reading the letter.

With a shaky hand, he opened the letter still in a daze that she has taken time to write a letter to him.

"My dear babylicious...."

"What a crazy name she has decided.." He sighed and went to read a further part of the letter.

[My dear babylicious,

I know this letter might not be a regular one which you get every day from your fangirls but as you know, I am a unique girl, so naturally, it should be extraordinary and unique.

You make my cardiac muscle pump blood through my vascular system very quickly and I always feel that you are DNA helicase because you always unwind my problems whenever I am in hazard. Positively, I have never seen someone as handsome as you and you are hotter than the bunsen burner which can set to high flames.

I may sound silly, but you have been making my dopamine levels go silly. I have realized it long before about my feelings but I couldn't express it because of some 'DIVIDER' called your past love. I thought I could forget you but it's hard since you have become the most important element in my periodic table. If I could rearrange the chemistry periodic table, I would put Uranium and Iodine together because U and I will be together always from now. You are mine, no refunds. Sorry about that because you have decoded my heart until I couldn't encode it back.

The human body might have only 206 bones but if you are around, I feel that I have 207 bones. If I had to choose between DNA and RNA I choose RNA because it has U in it. I have become crazy right?

Roses are red, but sometimes they are thorny, and that's how I feel when you are not with me. You have seized my heart completely. I feel that you are the mitochondria in my body because you have become the powerhouse of my heart.

Chemical reactions are not the only one that goes faster when there is an increase in heart pressure in my body now. Just the mere mention of your name and footsteps could trigger electric waves pulse in my body. Although our heights don't match, I will make sure that the permutations and combinations between us work. I hope you like me, the same way I do because if you like water then you have already liked 72% of me. After all, I am made of 72% water. I hope you understand the circ.u.mference area and volume of my affection towards you. All in all, every cell in my body screams your name and I have become crazy for you.

For(I=0; I<infinity; I++){I have become crazy for you and no one could replace you in my heart}

I know, you don't know about programming, so I am explaining the logic of the above program in your language. I have become infinitely crazy for you, Devin, and no one could replace you from my heart.

Sincerely,

Your sweetheart

P.S Buy me a cute dress for accepting you into my life.

..

After reading the entire letter, all the emotions started swirling making his brain go numb for a second. He never thought Leena share the same feelings for him until today but he has never expected such a beautiful confession. To confess their feelings itself people struggle from within, but she has written a confession letter. Although she did not tell the three magical words, he could find the depth of her feelings.

He rushed out of the room in search of Leena and there she was sitting on the couch nervously fiddling with her fingers.

"Did you read the_"

Before she could complete her words, she was embraced in a tight hug. He squeezed her with his tight hug that his rapid heartbeat was drumming into her ears. He doesn't want to share her with anyone. Call him selfish, that is what he felt. She might have loved Ethan in the past and got hurt but she has taken a step ahead and accepted him into her life and he made a vow to cherish her forever.
