The beginning of forever

15 - I'll cut your life short

Becky's POV

"Just give me your forever," Freen sang, delivering the final lines of the song with heartfelt sincerity.

With her voice trembling but filled with love, she declared, "Here's the last tulip to complete the 31-flower bouquet, baby."

Thirty tulips represent a month of love, and this one is a plastic tulip that will never wither, just like my love for you. Happy one month and more my love."

She continued, her voice brimming with affection, "I love you, Rebecca Patricia Armstrong."

I found myself unable to contain my emotions, and tears welled up, tracing paths down my cheeks. In response, I whispered, "And I love you too, Freen Sarocha Chankimha, my forever is yours," with my heart overflowing with love and commitment.

Freen's sweet smile brightened in response to my words. Her hand gently found its way to my back, drawing me close, and she leaned in to bestow a tender, sweet kiss. I responded with equal tenderness, our connection deepening with each heartfelt moment.

As her lips met mine, the loudness of cheers and playful teasing from our friends and family surrounded us, creating a joyful backdrop; and I couldn't help but smile through the kiss. 

Just when I thought she might pull away, she surprised me with a few more affectionate pecks, as if she couldn't get enough. Each gentle kiss was a testament to the love and joy we shared in that moment.

It was then that Nam playfully shouted, "Get a room, hot shots!" which elicited laughter from everyone around us.

Freen then paused her affectionate pecks and simply embraced me, our laughter continuing as we shared a heartfelt moment in response to her friend's humorous comment.

The group gathered around us, offering warm words of congratulations and sharing in our joyous moment. We exchanged smiles and heartfelt sentiments with our friends as they extended their best wishes.

After this heartwarming exchange, we all made our way to the restaurant that Freen had thoughtfully reserved for our celebration. There, we would continue to commemorate this special occasion with good food and great company.

As we indulged in the delicious meal served before us, I couldn't resist leaning in to Freen and playfully whispering, "You really had to make it big, don't you?"

With a playful smile and her fingers absently running through her hair, Freen responded, "Yes, I had to. I wanted to make it up to you for our almost month-long secret relationship. Plus, I wanted everyone to know you are mine, especially Friend," she continued with a confident grin.

I giggled at her words, playfully pinched her, and responded, "I told you we're just friends."

Averting my playful pinch, she said, "Yeah... yeah... but still... I want her to know."

I reassured her, "She does know, and even before we got together, I already made it clear to her that we're just friends. So, calm your horses, my possessive girlfriend."

"Only for you, babe," she said and planted a sweet kiss on my cheek.

Nam's playful comment snapped us back to the present, "I told you to get a room; you're too rich to be making out in the open!"

Let the newest couple enjoy the moment," Noey chimed in, playfully defending our affectionate display. "You're just jealous," she teased Nam.

"No, I'm not," Nam retorted, rolling her eyes, and taking a step back, just letting go our playful banter.

"So now will you do it? Will you have sex already? "Noey asked teasing us.

"Noey!" Rebecca replied with a bit of embarrassment and a smile.
