TRAUMATISED
EPS. 69. FIRST KISS'S.

Lea went inside her room, and it just so happened that her phone rang. It was a phone call from Richard.

" Hey.." Lea said when the call was connected.

" What are you doing, honey? " Ask Richard.

Lea smiled to herself hearing Richard call her dear.

" It's in the room." Sahut Lea's.

" Look down, I'm under your room." Said Richard.

Lea until glared to herself hearing it, she headed straight to her bedroom window and right, Richard was down there.

" I'll be down, for a second." Lea said.

" Eh, wait a minute, baby. You change into comfortable clothes, I want to take you somewhere." Said Richard.

" It's this night?" Ask Lea.

" yes.. You'll love it." Said Richard.

" All right, wait a minute." Lea said. And the call ends.

Lea went straight into the bathroom to clean up her sweaty self, and changed into a casual outfit. Lea wore long black jeans with a blue Jeans jacket.

Lea's hair was let loose and before long, she came down from her room. At the end of the stairs, she smiled as she saw Richard apparently sitting with Livy in the living room.

" Nah, that's Lea's down." Livy.

" Richard let Lea, auntie." Richard told Livy.

" Yes, heart in the way of the two of you." Livy.

" Ma, Lea go first." Lea said.

" Yes, baby." Livy Sahut.

Richard held Lea's hand, and Livy frowned at the sight.

' Do they have anything? They don't usually join hands.' Inner Livy.

Leah got on Richard's bike, and then they sped away from the Leah residence.

" Where are we going?" Ask Lea.

" To the moon." Richard said, chuckling.

" I'm serious, Chard.." Lea said, annoyed.

" I'm serious too, baby. I'll take you to see the moon." Said Richard.

" Hand hold ya, I'll speed up a little." Said Richard.

Lea wrapped her arms around Richard's stomach, and Richard smiled as he felt Lea's hand curling in his stomach. Richard drove his bike at high speed, and before long, they got to where Richard meant.

Apparently Richard took Lea to his grandfather's residence. Lea thought Richsrd was going to take her somewhere, apparently just there.

" Come on." Said Richard.

" I thought you'd really take me to the moon." Lea said, and Richard chuckled.

" I haven't been able to get you to fly to the moon. Now I'm gonna close your eyes before we get in." Said Richard, taking out a handkerchief from his jacket pocket.

" Want what? You're not gonna kill me here, are you?" Lea said, Richard heard it.

" How could you have a word like that, I wouldn't even be able to live without you. How could I kill the person I love and love the most." Said Richard.

" Why do I have to close my eyes?" Ask Lea.

" Because I have a surprise for you, believe me. I won't be able to hurt you." Said Richard.

Lea looked at Richard's eyes, and finally nodded. Leah is still a paranoid, whatever she'll always think of her either good.

Richard put his handkerchief in Leah's eyes, and even tied her very slowly for fear of hurting Leah.

" Hold my hand, then I'll lead you on." Richard said, and Lea nodded.

Richard led Lea to walk towards the middle of the flower garden, and there apparently Richard had prepared a romantic place.

Richard put on a swing with two seats near the gazebo, on the right and left side of the swing was waving a white cloth as his decoration. Inside the gazebo itself is a wax candle that forms a heart with flowers scattered.

" You stand still here." Said Richard.

" Where are you going?" Ask Lea to panic.

" I'll just be a minute, and I'll be right back." Said Richard.

" Felse me, Lea.. I'm not gonna hurt you." Said Richard.

Leah even held Richard's hand very tightly, as if unwilling to be left behind. Lea was not afraid, but rather panicked. Lea nodded, and Richard stepped away from Leah.

Apparently Richard lit the candle that formed that heart. While Lea was already getting panicked, in her current mind Richard left her alone there.

" Richard's." Call Leah, but there's no word from Richard.

Lea grew increasingly panicked, and her hands had started trying to open the handkerchief until Richard's hand stopped her.

" You don't believe me??" Ask Richard.

" You didn't leave me?" Lea said.

" I'm not leaving you, Lea. I love you so much, love you. I won't hurt you either." Said Richard.

" I'm sorry, I'm just freaking out. I thought you'd leave me here alone." Lea said, feeling guilty.

" Can you trust me??" Ask Richard. Lea was silent, then she nodded shortly.

" I'll try it." Said Lea, and Richard smiled at her.

" Then, come on.." Said Richard.

Richard led Lea and stopped right at the gazebo. Slowly he opened the bond in Leah's eyes, and slowly Leah opened her eyes.

Lea opened her mouth, for in her presence this time was a heart-forming candle with the inscription I Love you Athalea Adeline in her center.

" Wow.." That was the first sentence Leah said.

" Do you like it??" Said Richard.

" I'm honestly not the one who likes things like this, but I like." Lea said, and Richard chuckled at it.

" I forgot that my boyfriend is different from the others." Said Richard.

" Who prepared this?" Ask Lea.

" I, when after I drove you home earlier, I immediately had the idea to make this." Said Richard.

" I'm sorry I didn't mean to disrespect you, I love it.." Lea said.

" It's okay.. Thank you for asking me honestly." Said Richard.

Lea stared at the surroundings and was surprised to see there was a swing there.

" Wow.. There's a swing." Lea said.

Lea directly got down from the gazebo and sat on that swing. Richard chuckles at the behavior of his lover.If in general the girls like romantic things, then Lea does not. Leah is not like most girls.

Richard stood behind Lea then pulled the swing, and pushed it. Lea enjoyed the night breeze that hit her. And apparently at 12 o'clock there really is a moon.

" You've taken me to the moon." Leah said, extending her hand as if touching the moon.

" Do you like it?" Ask Richard.

" Like it very much." Lea said.

The moon was Leah's friend long ago, when she tried to calm herself down, she would turn off all lighting in her room and only associate it with moonlight. That was when the moon appeared.

Richard swung Lea until the fireflies suddenly appeared. And Leah stopped from her swing.

" Turn off the candles." Said Lea and immediately ran to the gazebo to turn off the existing candle.

And more and more fireflies appear. Lea smiled to see him, he approached Richard who was now sitting on the swing.

" Beautiful.." Richard.

" Yes, they're beautiful." Lea said.

" Not them, but you." Said Richard.

Richard stood in front of Leah, and slowly he brought his face closer to Leah's face to kiss Leah's lips. Lea retreated in doubt, but then Lea put her lips closer to Richard's.

DEG! DEG! DEG! DEG!

The hearts of both of them were pounding very quickly incoherently.

They kiss for the first time, in the moonlight with a firefly that witnesses them. After releasing his kiss, Richard placed his forehead on Lea's forehead, then uttered..

" I love you so bad, Lea. " murmured Richard, and for this time Lea also still just nodded without replying.

Richard hugged Lea, so happy to have Lea as his girlfriend. Although she had to be patient to hear Lea say love to her.
