No one in the car tried to speak. Finally, Eli broke the silence.
"Ms. Cela~"
Lily looked at him, "Hmm?" she asked.
"Address?"
"Oh, Venus Streets, second line, C-Block".
Eli didn't ask anything and continued driving but Lily kept looking at him. There was no smile on her face but there was gentleness in her eyes. Eli, who had felt that gaze from his co-passenger seat, broke the silence again with a not-so-cold voice. "What? Ms. Cela"
"What? Mr.Allen"
"Why are you looking at me? Ms. Cela"
"Did you see me looking at you? Mr. Allen". Lily asked back, looking at him.
Finally Eli looked at her but at that moment Lily looked away. Eli smiled at her small gesture and replied.
"No, but I felt it".
Lily who got the answer asked him back "Then, why are you constantly looked at me from behind? Mr.Allen"
Eli asked, continuing to drive, "Why do you think I saw you? Ms.Cela."
"Because, I felt it. I had the urge to look back," Lily whispered. Yes, she felt as if his gaze was forcing itself on her, and she wanted to look back at him.
Eli looked at her with an indescribable emotion. At the same time, Lily looked at him. Their eyes met briefly and Eli asked her, "WHY?", before looking back at the road ahead.
Lily didn't reply to his Why? instead asked again "You really called me, didn't you? Mr.Allen".
Eli asked "Why do you think so?"
"Because, I.." Lily trailed off, waiting for him to look at her before saying, "I really felt like someone was calling me, and that someone was YOU."
Eli's heart skipped a beat and he stopped the car on the road side. After a few seconds, he got out of the car and entered the convenience food store near him. Lily looked at him silently and she got out of the car to wait for him outside.
After 10 minutes, Eli came out of the store, holding a bag in his right hand. He saw her looking up at the night sky. He stood there and called her internally {Lily}. But Lily didn't respond or look at him. Eli came and quietly opened the door for her.
"You called me again," Lily said. More like a statement than a question. She stepped into the car. Eli closed the door and smiled before moving to the other side to get into the driver's seat. He set the bag aside and asked her, "Does it matter whether I actually called or not?
Lily said softly "Yes".
Eli asked "Why?" and suddenly moved his face towards Lily.
Lily's heart pace increased and her face turned rosy. She didn't answer and just looked at him in surprise.
Eli whispered in her ear "Because, your heart is yearning for me. Right?
Lily surprisingly nodded, Eli kissed her cheek and looked into her eyes and asked, "Marry me."
Lily's eyes widened and her heart skipped several beats. Eli wanted to do more but controlled himself and moved back from her and took the Icecream from the bag beside him, opened the lid and handed it to her. "Eat"
Eli started the car. Lily didn't say a word and just tried focused on eating her ice cream. After a while, Eli stopped the car in front of C-Block.
Lily didn't get out of the car and kept fidgeting with her fingers. Eli looked at her and asked. "What?"
Lily didn't answer. She didn't really want to leave him. She wanted to spend some more time with him.
Eli asked again, "Do you want me to send you upstairs?"
Lily nodded. Eli chuckled and parked the car. They both got out of the car and went into the elevator. Lily pressed the button for the 23rd floor. They stood in silence and waited to go upstairs.
