He used to hate her

What am I feeling right now? Should I be happy or...

Suddenly, the door to my house burst open. Sofia never comes in such a rush. I turned to spot Xander breathlessly looking at the entrance. He's here to see me at this night time. Did he receive my voice message?

No one spoke for a minute. His eyes shifted from my face to my phone. " Are you watching my wedding? The one where I run away?" He asked.

" Yeah, the one where a groom ran away instead of a bride."

" Yeah, that's true. I can't marry her. I thought you gave up on me. But then I received your voice message at the last minute"

" I'm so sorry, Xander. I walked away from you. But I gave you a lot of missed calls for the past two days. But you didn't respond to my calls. I thought you moved on," I told him, tossing the phone aside.

" I didn't know you called me, Madison. If I have known it earlier, I would have responded in a minute. Veronica deleted all the calls I got from you. She even tried to delete the voice message you sent me. I just caught her with my phone today morning. You asked me to meet you outside the dinner yesterday. I already missed the day. She did it all," Xander explained.

She's still trying to break us apart but for god's sake, Xander saw my message.

" I can't believe she hasn't changed a little after many years. I can't imagine what would have happened if you have never seen my message. I thought it's all over," I spoke as I'm close to tears.

" It didn't happen. The wedding's cancelled for good. I'm not worried about my memories anymore. I want to start a new life. I'm okay with these new memories if you are in it," Xander said, as I ran into his arms. That's what I wanted to do days ago but I walked away. I will never do that again.

" I'm glad it's over. I know you asked me to move in with you. I will do that, Xander." I said, pressing my lips to his lips. He didn't speak any more words but kissed me desperately and fiercely.

" Close the door," I muttered as he locked it and questioned me. " Isn't Sofia home yet?"

" No. It may take an hour or so,"

Of course, I want it. Why would I even say 'no'? " I relaxed after hearing that. Xander won't remember it but he's my first kiss and I was his first. I don't know if Veronica was his first which is the last thing I want to think about. But I want him to be the one and
