"You got some cake on here"

He tried to touch the end of my lip but stopped when he saw my red cheeks.

I started hiccuping and he chuckled while offering me some water.

"Hm... I know this is too awkward and that you don't talk much. But you should at least know about me, so I'll just keep talking" he smiled before drinking some coke and I nodded, too busy eating my cake.

"I'm 23 years old and I've been working with your father for 4 years. Since my parents died in an accident when I was 11, I lived alone and I still am, in the same house" he ended still smiling while looking down at his plate.

He sniffed quietly, tears threatening to spill from his eyes.

I stopped eating and looked at him since he was sad, but I don't know what to do. I don't know how to console a person.

Even though he's alone inside, he keeps smiling and loving everyone outside. I admired him for a moment until he snapped his fingers, bringing me to senses.

"I don't know if you're okay to marry me or not but, I promise I'll always keep you happy"
