Chapter 11: Confession Went Wrong

"You what?" Davian almost felt like he heard it wrong. After all, this shouldn't be happening—that too so soon. He wasn't ready for it.

"I love you," Aurora repeated, her eyes filled with different kinds of emotions, but mostly love.

Instantly, he averted his gaze from hers. "Aurora..."

She stiffened the moment she heard her real name in his mouth. "What's wrong?"

Davian delayed his words by lowering his gaze to the ground and letting out a soft sigh before finally dumping the splash of cold water on Aurora's dreams with, "I don't love you."

She felt the ground slipping off her feet. "You.... you don't?"

He sucked in a deep breath and shook his head in denial. "Unfortunately, I don't. I'm sorry. I can't reciprocate your feelings."

Aurora tried to keep herself calm. "It's okay, Davian." She smiled at him. "You don't have to confess right away. When you will fall in love with me, then you can reciprocate too. For now, just know that I am in love with you."

Davian didn't even bother to acknowledge what she said and proceeded to ask her, "How can you fall in love with me so fast?"

She furrowed her brows. "What do you mean by how?"

"I mean, it's not been long since we started dating. So falling in love this early and—" he was interrupted by her.

"Davian, love doesn't see the time or place. It can just be felt. This epiphany can come at any time."

"You don't understand, Aura." Davian stood up and ran a hand through his hair.

Aurora also stood up. "What don't I understand? I am just pouring my emotions out here so that you know how I feel at least. You don't have to reciprocate yet."

"Yet," he uttered under his breath, sounding a little frustrated. "This is the problem. You will keep having hopes that I will one day. That's why you added yet, didn't you?"

This time, Aurora placed a hand over his shoulder. "Davian? You are my boyfriend. Aren't we in a real relationship? Tell me why I shouldn't have hopes. It's not like I am asking you to get married or forcing you to feel the same as me right now. All I am doing is confessing my current feelings for you. But you are making me feel as though I have committed a crime."

"I—never mind." He groaned. "I need some time. Please leave me alone."

"But Davian, I—"

"Please."

Until now, she was telling him what she was feeling at that moment, trying to communicate with her boyfriend like she should, but it seemed like he wasn't on the same page as her. He didn't even want to listen to her, let alone try to understand her. Therefore, she was done talking.

She sucked in a deep breath, feeling a tug in her chest. "Fine. I'm going inside then. Take all the time you need," with that, she stormed inside.

As she walked through the hallways, she was fully devastated by Davian's reaction.

"Why did he overreact? I know dropping a confession so casually is surprising, but he didn't seem happy at all. He seemed tense," she mumbled. "He was mad at me. For what? For loving him? I don't understand. It's like I don't even know the person I just confessed to."

The moment she stepped into the room, she heard everyone holler, "Happy birthday, Aura!"

Immediately, a smile appeared on her lips when she noticed Declan, Jaxon, Ariel, Nina, and Cillian standing near a table where there was a chocolate cake at the center and different gifts around the table. There were plenty of balloons on the floor.
