Lock You In My Heart Chapter 616
Lock You In My Heart
Westley held her hand as they walked towards the beach and Gabrielle spotted something from a distance. There was plenty of stuff piled up near the shore.
It was actually a big pile of huge fireworks. Judging from how the setup looked, they must be extremely beautiful.
âWestley, those are...fireworks. So you took me here to see them?â Gabrielle tightened her grip on his hand and asked him excitedly.
The corners of Westleyâs lips turned up as he faced Gabrielle. âDo you like fireworks?â
âYes, I do. I like them very much. Theyâre big and bright! They must be very pretty, right?â Gabrielle couldnât wait anymore.
She liked fireworks a lot ever since she was a little girl. However, Wendy didnât like lighting fireworks at home, and Bryce wasnât such a huge fan of fireworks either. So Gabrielle couldnât set off fireworks in the Jonesâ mansion.
Every year, she would go to Sloane and the two of them would buy some sparklers and play together within a remote place by the river.
It wasnât grand or big, but it was enough to make them happy.
She had never expected to see such an extravagant fireworks display with her own eyes. Gabrielle was really looking forward to it.
If only Sloane was also here, she would be so delighted.
It was sad to think that Sloane was still lying in the hospital. If she wouldnât be able to witness it this year, she would definitely make it next year.
âWestley, this is amazing...when did you prepare all of this? Should we light them up now?â Gabrielleâs inner child was showing.
Seeing her like this, Westley burst into laughter. The fireworks he had asked Alvin to prepare this morning really worked their way into Gabrielleâs heart even more.
âI want to start at twelve oâclock. There are still ten minutes left. Can I ask you to wait for a little longer?â Westley asked, taking a look at his watch.
âAbsolutely. I can wait. Although, this would be the longest ten minutes of my life,â Gabrielle said.
Unable to resist her cuteness, Westley lowered his head and gently kissed her on the side of her lips.
âDonât worry, ten minutes will pass soon.â After saying that, Westley continued to kiss her, intending to hold her in his arms for the next ten minutes.
Gabrielle kissed him back passionately. On the beach, accompanied by the sea breeze and faint moonlight, the two of them were expressing love to each other.
âWestley...why donât you check the time? I want to see the fireworks.â Gabrielle was almost suffocated by the kiss and reminded him immediately. A t the last minute, the two of them smiled at each other and sat on the beach, waiting for midnight. Westley had already set up the remote program for the fireworks. As soon as he pressed the button, the fireworks would pop off right away. âAre you nervous, Gabrielle?â Westley asked. âNot at all. Iâm dying to see them now. I just know theyâre going to be so beautiful.â Although she said that, she was actually eeling a bit nervous. It was going to be another memory for her. â
How much longer do we have to wait?â âTen seconds.â âGet ready, get ready.â Gabrielle urged Westley. Westley grabbed Gabrielleâs hand and looked at her with a smile. He wanted them to set the fireworks off together. âWestley, shall we light them up together?â âOf course, Mrs. Morris. Itâs time to press the button. On the count of three... one... two... three!â Westley and Gabrielle pressed it down together. Soon, the fireworks flew to the sky and exploded, filling up the night with their wondrous glow.
Gabrielle looked up at the sight and was captivated. It ignited a fire in her heart. âGabrielle, do you like it?â Westley asked, holding her in his arms. He didnât even need to ask. Gabrielleâs happy face was already proof of how much she liked the fireworks. âItâs breathtaki ng, Westley...
â
Soon, the lights became words in the air.
âGabrielle, I love you.
Happy holiday, my dearest.â
Even though it was only visible in the night sky for a short time and disappeared so fast, the words were already engraved on Gabrielleâs heart.
She was so sure she wouldnât be able to forget this wonderful experience all her life.
Although the fireworks were only lit for a short while, the special feelings during that moment would last for a lifetime.
âHoney, I love you.â Gabrielle turned around and kissed Westleyâs lips.
âI love you too, Gabrielle.â Westley embraced her gently.
Gabrielle was elated. She held his hand tightly and they looked at the fireworks together.
âWestley, how did you come up with this idea?â Gabrielle curiously asked.
âBecause I thought youâd love it.â Westley just wanted to give her everything she liked. He already knew a lot of girls loved fireworks, and Gabrielle would not be an exception.
So, he asked Alvin to prepare the fireworks a few days ago. He was glad that they were able to pull it off on time. Westley felt it was special and worth it to give Gabrielle a feast of fireworks that was dedicated to her alone.
âThank you for this, Westley. I love it very much.â Gabrielle was touched.
Gabrielle felt even more special that Westley did such a thoughtful thing for her. It was going to be a memory of a lifetime.
âHow long will the fireworks last?â Gabrielle asked, staring at the sky. âAbout ten minutes? Is it too short?â Westley faced her. âItâs more than enough. Even just one minute would mean so much to me. I like it a lot.â Gabrielle stood up and began to run on the beach. She was so overjoyed that she took a picture of the fireworks and posted it online. She affixed her best wishes to the picture, âHappy new year!â Then, she turned off the phone. She didnât want anyone to disturb the two of them. Gabrielle faced the sea, feeling the breeze and smelling the fireworks. Westley came over and hugged her from behind. âGabrielle, arenât you cold? Itâs a bit chilly at the seaside. Letâs go back to our room.â Westley spoke in a soft voice, resting his chin on her shoulder.
âOkay, letâs head back once the fireworks are over.â Gabrielle touched his hand on her waist. âIâll set off fireworks for you every year from now on, okay?â Westley buried his nose on her neck. âReally? Weâll come to the beach and watch fireworks together every year? Youâd do that for me?â Gabrielle was surprised by Westleyâs words. She was so happy to see the fireworks today, but she didnât expect Westley had planned to do this sweet gesture for her every year from now on. âIf you want to come to the seaside, we can go to the seaside. If you want to go somewhere else, Iâll take you to another place.
Donât choose somewhere dangerous, though.â Of course, Westley would always give her everything. Setting up fireworks was easy as pie. âI think the seaside is a great place to set off fireworks. Only the two of us. No, we can take Star with us next year.â
Gabrielle didnât forget Star. âWeâll all go to the seaside to set off fireworks.â Westley also thought about coming here with his family. âI bet Star would also like to see the fireworks,â Gabrielle confidently said.
âAlright, letâs go back now. Thatâs the last of it. Weâll catch a cold if we stay here for a long time.â Westley took Gabrielleâs hand and walked back to their villa. They entered the yard and Westley placed his thumb on the fingerprint scanner. When the lights turned on, the whole house was so bright. âIs this villa also yours?â Gabrielle saw that he unlocked this with his fingerprint, so it must be his. âMrs. Morris, itâs all yours. Do you like my surprise?â Westley held her hand and gently placed her fingerprint in the system.
