The Glimpse of My Past

Diane’s P. O. V.

It was Liam who was handsomely wearing a long-sleeved blue polo, that was tucked in his black slacks. He was clean-shaven, and his dimple was truly spectacular, despite our distance. His thick black hair was still unruly and was tousled into a medium textured haircut. I blinked my eyes a few times but while I was doing it, I was afraid that he would soon disappear over that area.

Was it really him or my illusion was only playing with me?

After a while, I could not help myself to be elated as I widely smiled while singing. My heart melted again, and imaginary butterflies twirled inside my belly.

It was Liam, and I wasn’t only delusional.

I felt like something in me literally jumped, and my heartbeats hastened as if there had been thousands of horses running inside my chest. He waved his right hand on me as his impressive dimple showed. God knew how I looked forward to finishing the song so that I could be with him as early as possible.

Oh my God, he really went here as he promised!

My brain screamed again, not because of sadness but because of too much excitement. I continued to beautify my singing even more because seeing him was like taking vitamins. It energized me. It made me boost my confidence from deep within. I could not take my eyes off him as everything turned out to be immeasurably exhilarating with his mere presence.

I will always be here for you

I want to touch every inch of you

I want to claim that every part of you is mine

And we will be together until the end of time

Yeah, I knew for sure, and I would never deny it. It is just you, Liam… even though we only met last night. My heart throbbed as my mind got clouded with confessing thoughts at the same time.

Love was not measured by how two people had met each other. It was measured by what was the content of your hearts and if your feelings were mutual too. I did not know why he came here and why he never broke his promise, but does he feel the same way about me? Does he love me too? It baffled me to the core, so I would like to know.

I don’t understand myself now

I just met you yet no one can take your place here in my heart

Please promise to us

That whatever happens, we will never fall apart

Just thinking about him made me feel excited about what might happen next. Liam made me crave for something I never knew existed within me, and my feelings for him had intensified more in just a single day.

Frankly speaking, I wanted to feel his lips brushed with mine again, but I had to resist myself because we didn’t have any label. I could no longer understand myself why, but it was as if my eyes could only see him. It made me wonder if I accidentally drank something like a love potion for me to feel this way about him.

There were so many audiences here right now, but it felt like they were suddenly turned into floating lanterns while I looked in Liam’s direction. His stares were glued at me too. I did not want to assume and expect, but I hope that Liam would not go. I hoped that no matter how fast he appeared in my life, he would stay for a little bit longer.

Staying single for twenty-one years of my life, I prayed and asked God for someone who would truly love me. If Liam was the answer, then I would never want to be away from him.

Love me like there’s no tomorrow

Love me like I’m about to let you go

Love me like we will fight every hindrance together

Love me like this is our last chance on earth

Every part of me belongs to youC0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

I love you, Mi Amor*

Until the song ended, the wonderful smile had never left my lips. I was just looking at him throughout my song number as if the people here never shifted back to their original forms and just remained as floating lanterns surrounding us over a romantic setting.

I had never experienced being inspired by someone other than the rest of my family. If this was that so-called feeling, then I would never want this night to end.

My mind abruptly woke up when the people in the club applauded again. I just smiled and bowed to them. I was quite disappointed that Liam didn’t clap for me, but it doesn’t matter anymore. What mattered most was he fulfilled his promise.

After getting off the stage, I immediately made my way to where he was standing. I only gave a single nod to those who tried to approach me, but when they saw to whom I was heading, they did not continue with their plans and backed off.

They were the same guys who would like to woo me here, but Leandro somewhat threatened them to cut their dicks and smash their balls out if they continued pestering me. I let out a mischievous chuckle because they might have mistaken Liam as Leandro. After all, the two were indeed look alike.

Striding to Liam as fast as I could, I couldn’t help myself but think that I was damn too excited to be with him. When I got in front of the man whose dimple was so heavenly, he gave me a single bouquet of about three-dozen beautiful flowers-all red roses that exactly matched my favorite color, which was red. I didn’t see the flowers a while ago, but maybe he hid them at his back to surprise me.

Oh my God! That was the main reason why he wasn’t able to clap his hands for me!

“Wow, you don’t even have to buy these but thanks, Liam. There’s no question that these roses are beautiful, and I’m completely in awe right now but aren’t these too much?” I immediately accepted the huge bouquet that he was giving me.

It was a bit heavy that I almost cuddled it in front of my chest and its length actually reached my knees from my neck, but I could still manage. It made my innocent smiles not to vanish on my face. I didn’t want to expect anything, but I truly felt special, for him to show me efforts through things like this.

It was probably my first time appreciating the flowers that were given to me. Perhaps, it was all because I liked the person who gave me these. I slightly bowed to put them under my nose, and I even closed my eyes while sniffing the sweet scent of the red roses.

Hmm, it smells so good!

“These roses were as beautiful as you, and of course, your voice too. I would like you to know that nothing is too much when it comes to you, and now, I can praise you. I loved your performance,” Liam huskily whispered as he soon clapped his hands. Then, contentment tiptoed into my heart as my cheeks flushed.

He took one from the roses, effortlessly cut off its stem, and gently placed the flower in my left ear. It was as if I suddenly became the famous leading lady in a Mexican telenovela who always had a rose in her ear.

Oh my God, Liam! Why are you so sweet? My heart will continue to fall for you if you keep on doing things like this. Heat rose to my cheeks, making my face feel sultry again. I felt like my excitement strengthened on a different level.

“Hmm… I don’t believe my voice was beautiful enough, so I think you’re only making fun of me. Pole dancing is unquestionably my mastery here, but our singer was absent for tonight, so I had to be her substitute for a while,” I told him before smelling the flowers again.

“Do I look like I was only joking? Ever since last night, I am damn too serious when it comes to you, Diane. At least, I was able to hear your voice even if you don’t usually sing. There is still plenty of time to watch you dancing over that pole, and I am more than willing to wait for that opportunity. Anyway, is your duty over?” he asked me as light wrinkles formed on his forehead.

“Ah yes, Liam. W-Why?” I confirmed while asking him back in the process.
