"I can't do this anymore, Kim."

There was an awful silence in between us.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Kim released me from her arms and looked at me confused.

"I can't do this anymore. I can't stand it. Being with you, and not being with you at the same time." I was crying.

"Pie, I don't understand." Kim was holding my hands now. I must be strong and be firm on this.

"Kim. You know that I said that I love you and will wait for you. But, I guess I can't wait anymore, not this way." I looked at her eyes. "Lately, I feel that we have been just running in circles. I don't know if you have a plan with the both of us. I feel like, we're just wasting our time. We have been going on talking of trying all this out, fixing things between the two of us but we don't have a plan or any idea on how to do so."

I took her hand. "I want to be with you Kim. But many things lately got me thinking, why these things are happening to us. I want to be with you, but then, people keep on separating us apart." I said as I looked down. "They keep on coming in between us, and it breaks my heart."

"Is this about Yam?" Kim lifted my chin, so I could see her eyes. I nodded and took my eyes away from her again.

"Pie. I'm sorry for what ever you are feeling. But, I have something that I want you to know." Kim took my hand and spoke again. "I'm sorry that you felt this way. I am sorry for making you feel this way. I love you, and you know that I really want to be with you. But, if you are feeling this way, how can I keep you. If you are having doubts about me."

"I am not having doubts Kim. It's just that I am hurt. So, hurt. The last time was when you didn't tell me that you were in the hospital, and Yam was the one who took care of you. And now, you got injured then she was here again." Letting my tears roll down. "I know that this is a small thing, but I can't help but be sad Kim. She likes you and we aren't together. I can't demand from you." Kim stood up and took my hand. "Come with me." She said, and we walked outside of the apartment, and went to the roof top. I didn't realize but it was a bit dark already, why was evening suddenly here?

"Pie." Kim went ahead of me, and I just followed her. I stopped when I saw the view from here. I wasn't on the top yet, but I was able to see the city lights already from the staircase. I felt warm here. I was sad, but this place made me happy for a while. When I was lost in the moment, I heard something.

"Ouch! Pie! Help me!" I snapped back to the reality and went straight to the roof top. It was dark, and I couldn't see anything. "Kim, where are you!? What happened?!" I was nervous, she just had an injury, and it was too dark here.

Kim's POV

It was dark here and I have literally tripped. My foot hurts and I can't move that much. Good thing I fell correctly on the spot that I knew was safe. I needed Pie to see me soon. And by soon, I want the magic to begin.

"Kim, where are you? Please answer me." Pie's is now worried. I can hear her voice, looks like she will be crying again anytime soon.

"Pie, I am here." I tried to sound fine, but truth is, my ankle hurts.

"I can't see you. Are there any lights here?" I sensed she stopped moving because of the dark place. She was never really good in the dark.

"Yes. There's a post near you. There is a switch there." I said trying to help her.

"Okay. I'll search for it. Don't move. Your ankle might hurt again."

"Yes Pie. I'd stay still. I'll only move when you open the lights. I don't want to get hurt again."

Pie's POV

Gosh Kim. You are really making this hard. I was saying that I wanted to take a break from what we are doing, but here you are again causing trouble. I was currently, scanning this post and found my self finding the switch. I opened the switch and what I saw really made my heart ache. My mind, no longer functioning well, no longer working, and can't take another blow. I just stood there frozen.

"Pie." I saw her, Kim. She was standing, I know this scene. This was so familiar. It had been the same scene that we were in more that 2 years ago. Fairy lights everywhere. Flowers around the area, all them are the flowers that I have loved.

"Kim. What's this?"

"Pie. This isn't the way that I have planned this. I didn't want to have an almost broken ankle. What I am supposed to do wouldn't look cool anymore because of this." She said pointing her finger to her feet. "I can't help but feel sorry for all the hurt that I have caused you lately. But I want you to know one thing." She started walking towards me, still limping.

Suddenly, I saw other people coming out from the corners of the roof top. How long have they been there? Fern, Fah, Pii, Puey, Jane, Shone. My friends where here, but what really got my attention is when my heart skipped a beat when I saw my mom, she was here. What was she doing here? Being mused, I didn't notice that Kim was already in front of me.

"Baby. I know that we haven't really had a chance to be officially together again. But, with all that is happening to us lately, I am certain that all that I want in my life is you." She said looking deep to my eyes.

Many people were here with us, my friends, and even my mom was here. I wouldn't want to think that what's about to happen is something that I have been hoping for a long time already. But I had to be patient and wait for Kim to finish.

"Kim." I said, in an almost audible whisper. My head was being foggy, and I can't really form the right words.

"As I have said earlier, this is not how I planned to do this. But, I just really can't wait anymore. Pie, I love you, and you are it for me. We have gone a long way, and I can't wait for more of us together." She said holding my hand. I didn't realize that tears were starting to fall on my face already. She brushed the small tear from my face and kissed my forehead.

"I want you to know, that I am really nervous right now." She chuckled. "The last time I did this, was the time that my heart was really broken." She inhaled deeply. "But, I want to take the risk of doing it again, if it means that I would have you back to my life." She closed her eyes and kneeled in front of me. I started to cry harder.

"Pie, I don't want us to be officially together. What I want for us is to be eternally together." She opened her eyes and looked at me, with a soft expression.

"Please. Don't break my heart again." She laughed a little, with the rest of the people around us laughing as well, but my mind was not working, it was just focused on Kim.

"Will you, for the second time around, marry me?" Kim looked with a scared expression. She seemed very nervous, like she was eating broken glasses, while taking out the ring from her pocket.

All my hurts started to vanish. The doubts that I have been feeling just jumped off the balcony of the roof top. I looked at her, with love in my eyes. I can't help it anymore. I kneeled in front of her and crashed my lips to her, still tears were running down my face. I can't believe that this is happening, that it really happened tonight.

I kissed her more, I just couldn't stop. I don't care of the people around us anymore. It was just me and Kim. She pulled from our kiss, and she smiled.

"Pie?" She asked while our foreheads were connected. My eyes still closed.

"Hmm?"

"You haven't answered yet." Oh gosh! I got to carried away!

"YES, KIM. YES! I WANT TO MARRY YOU. TODAY, OR TOMORROW, ANYTIME! PLEASE, LET'S GET MARRIED!" I said as I heard loud cheers from around us. I've seen Fern cry as she hugged Shone, and my friends were all doing cheers and wiping tears. My mom was just smiling and giving me a thumbs up. I have never been this happy in my whole life.

Kim was crying, and she hugged me so tight.

"I thought I'd lose you tonight." I said still not letting go from the hug that we shared.

"No, that will never happen. I won't let you go this time. Not anymore. We have suffered from a very heavy heart break, and we deserve this second chance. I love you so much, baby. Thank you for saying yes." She said, kissing my forehead while hugging me.

"What about Yam?" I asked. I felt Kim, separate from the hug a little. I had to ask, I want to make sure that she's all mine.

"Well, you actually have to thank her." Kim said as she looked at me in the eye. I was confused.

"Why? What happened?"

"She was the one who helped me fix all of this." Kim said. What? Why would she do that?

"Oh." That was all that I can say. "I didn't know that." I looked to the direction of the people that were surrounding us.

"Yam is a good friend, and that is what she will ever be to me. She told me, that I shouldn't wait anymore." Kim held my chin using her index finger. "She told me that, in love, we always take risks, even if it's painful, because it's part of what we gain when we fall in love, the chance to take risks and be together. Then, that's when I decided to, do all this. I don't want to be afraid of the hurt Pie, I love you and that will make me want to do it all over again, even if I get hurt."

"I love you too, Kim. I love you." I kissed here again. This was the best night of my life.

After 3 years...

"Pie, have you seen my white polo? I've been looking for it since last night." Kim shouted from our bedroom.

"Wait honey, I'll go look for you." I answered as I walked away from the kitchen.

Even until today, I still can't believe that Kim and I would be together finally. It's been 3 years, and we are now living together. After her proposal, we planned everything and was really excited of the things that we were going to do for the wedding, and fast forward, here we are now. Happily married for 2 years.

"Kim, I think I found it." I said as she walked towards me holding her suitcase and her car keys.

"Gosh. Thanks, honey. I really can't do this without you. It took me a night to finds this."

"Well, actually, I found it not you." I teased her.

"Yeah." She smiled at me lovingly. "How did I ever get so lucky." She closed her eyes and leaned to kiss my forehead.

"No, you are not lucky. I am the lucky one. I love you." I said and kissed her lips softly.

"You know, I have work in 2 hours." She smiled at me sheepishly.

"Yes, so go and eat your breakfast. You'd be late." I pushed her to the door of our room.

"I still have time." Her eyes gazed my small form. Looking at me like she's thinking of something.

"I know that look, Kim. No, not now. You'd be late." I said, backing off and walking past her, but she blocked my way.

"Please? Just one hour?" She said not letting me through.

"I have to be in the office later too. I'd see you there. Let's eat breakfast." I kissed her really quick as I used my small height to speed off her without her noticing.

"Okay." She agreed in defeat. She sat on her usual chair and grabbed her plate after she filled my plate with food.

We finished eating and I was fixing the plates when Kim pulled me over and I sat on her lap. Her arms not giving me a space to move.

"Pie?" She said, her lips were over my neck already. I don't think this is going to be a good idea.

"Yes, honey?" I played along as I placed my arms over her neck, pulling her slightly close to me.

"I was just thinking." She paused as if something was really bothering her.

"Yes, what's that you're thinking about?" I held her cheek and made her look at me.

"I was just thinking; do you want to have kids?" She asked. Silence fell the room, and we were looking at each other. I wanted to have kids. Who doesn't? I kissed her slow and wrapped my arms to her neck pulling her closer.

"Yes. I want to have kids." I said in between kisses. Smiling at her when I felt she smiled as well.

"Well, I'm happy to hear that." Kim was hugging me so tight now.

"But we can talk about that later. You will be late, and if I don't get up from here, I'd be late too. Van will be pissed." I kissed Kim one last time, but before I can even get up, Kim lifted me up bridal style.

"Kim, put me down. Right now!" I was half squealing, and half laughing at Kim's goofiness right now.

"Well, let him be pissed." She said still carrying me. I raised an eyebrow at her.

"If Van gets mad..." Kim paused and smiled at me. "I'll just tell him that, I was late because we were making a baby." Kim laughed but she still didn't dropped me. I tried to protest but I guess I can't really stop Kim from doing what she wants. She then proceeded with walking towards our room, and it seemed like we weren't going out anytime soon.

Sorry, Van. I just said to myself, hoping he could hear.
