Caged by him

"Happy birthday dumpling" he said melodically, his rough voice was much softer than before. That girl's eyes widened with surprise and the tears didn't even hesitate to fill them up. Her enticing emerald eyes shone under the moonlight as she stared right back into her lover's love filled eyes.

"I know I'm acting fast, it's just that I can't wait, I really can't. So here I go" he said with a sly smile, his face brightened up with happiness and thrill. He was standing on his knees, on the sea beach, his phone displayed 12:00 am and he said,

"Will you marry me Jasmine? And be my better half?" He asked, the sharpness and determination in his voice showed his sincerity and seriousness.

Jasmine's ears perked up and body jolted up in happiness when those magical words escaped from his mouth even though she knew this was coming the second he knelt down. Her eyes landed on the shining ring in the red box which was on his hand and a new wave of happiness hit her. It somehow made her feel wanted, loved and cared.

After losing her parents and brother it was hard for her to survive alone in this messed up world without any support. Her parents spoiled her and her lil brother that made her situation worse when they left without any word, without even a goodbye.

She was nineteen when she met him, her world, her Chris. Others would say she is crazy for falling in love with her bully but only she knows him, the real him. He did bully her but her emerald eyes and her naive heart did something terrible to him that made him lose himself and fall for her. Love is tricky and hard but is lively and full of happiness.

"I-I" she stuttered, feeling overwhelmed with her own emotions. Her mouth went dry but her whole body was sweating, not because of fear but because of this unexpected surprise. Her body went still because of that newborn happiness.

"Yes Chris! I'll marry you. I want to be your better half and i want you to be mine" she let out while wiping her tears of joy with the back of her hand but her eyes refused to stop them.

Within seconds she was in the air, with his veiny arms wrapped around her slim waist and his head in her chest as he swirled her. Her hands on their own wrapped around his neck as she held him closer.

"I knew it, Hell! But I was nervous, you know? I was literally shivering, Gosh!" he said while chuckling, talking to his soon to be wife who is in his arms now.

"Ohh! The big boy Chris was nervous. I remember someone saying that he is afraid of nothing" she teased him while making weird faces, taunting him with his own words.

"Are you mocking me dumpling?" He asked and put her down, their hands wrapped around each other's body.

"What do you think?" She asked back while smirking.

"Oh dumpling, you are playing with fire" he said while smirking back before his hands moved to her underarms, tickling her. Jasmine laughed out loud while squirming and thrashing in his arms, tears cascaded down from her eyes because of his tickling.

"NOO, I'm sorry Chris. I'm so-sorry" she blabbered like a crazy woman while laughing like a lunatic.

"God! someone here is apologizing." He chuckled before leaving her, only for her to attack him like a madwoman.

"Now the tables have turned Mr Chris. Now are you going to say sorry or suffer?" She asked while jumping on him, making both of them land on the ground.

"Uff.. woman, I'm sorry okay? Now leave me or people will think you are harassing me" he said while blinking innocently at her.
