"CAUSE I LOVE YOU, GODDAMMIT." Johnson shouted and Samantha's eyes widened in shock.

"What?" Samantha stuttered.

​​

"I... I... That..." Johnson stuttered.

"What did you just say, Johnson?" Samantha shouted again.

"Yes, Samantha. I love you." Johnson said.

"No... No... This... This shouldn't happen." Samantha said and stumbled back but before she fell down Johnson grabbed her waist and pulled her closer to him and she lifted her head up to him.

"I love you, Samantha." Johnson said looking into her eyes.

"No, Johnson. You... You Can't... You shouldn't love me... Cause... I am... Not... Born for... Love." Samantha stuttered with her eyes wide as tears started falling down from her eyes.

"Don't say that, Samantha. I love you more than anything in this world and I can't bear myself if anything happens to you." Johnson said as he kissed her forehead and hugged Samantha tightly.

"No... Johnson. This... This shouldn't happen... You accepted to marry me because... You love me?" Samantha asked and Johnson took a deep breath and said.

"Yes." Johnson said and Samantha shook her head with tears and pushed him away and ran away from him to the house.

"Samantha, please stop." Johnson said and started running.

"Samantha, stop right there." Johnson said as he grabbed her hand and stopped her from running away.

"No... This... This shouldn't happen. You can't love me." Samantha said with tears as she tried to release her hand from Johnson.

"Just stop it, Samantha." Johnson yelled and She flinched and looked at him.

"Why do you want to run away from me? Am I not a good person? Did I do anything to you?" Johnson shouted and Samantha shook her head.

"No... No. You are good. It's me... It's me who is not good." Samantha replied with tears and Johnson's heart breaker into pieces looking at her tears and he just took her in his arms and hugged her tightly.

"Please, give me a chance to prove myself." Johnson said as he kissed her hair.

"No, Johnson... You accepted me because you love me? Why didn't you say you love me before our engagement?" Samantha asked with tears.

"I don't have any option near me. I love and want to marry you and make you believe in my love." Johnson replied as he hugged her again.

"No... Please no. I don't deserve you, Johnson. You deserve someone better than me... I am just a girl, a plain girl... There is nothing left in me to love someone. I am just want to give happiness to my parents even if it costs my life because this soul already burnt and it's not going to come back again but you... You deserve better." Samantha said as she pushed him again and Johnson eyes widened.

"No, Samantha. No, I don't know anything about you but I need you. You don't know me too and You don't understand me but do you know yourself? No, you don't. You like me too but you are just not brave enough to say it. I know, that you wanted to be in my arms but you will not. You want to hold my hands but you will not. You want to hug me but you will not. Because you are scared. You are scared that you will get hurt again but trust me. I am not gonna leave you. Ever!" Johnson said holding her face in her hands and wiped her tears away.

"I don't care whatever your past. I just care about you and only you. You are not a plain girl. You are the love of my life. You don't have to love me back. My love is enough for both of us to live this life happily. But just please trust me." Johnson said as a tear fall down from his eye and Samantha hugged him tightly and started sobbing in his arms.

"Shh... It's okay, Don't cry. I am here for you now and always will be. I know you went through a lot in the past. Even though, I don't know what your past is! But, I will not ever force you to say it. I just want you. No, I need you in my life. Forever." Johnson said with emotion in his voice and Samantha lifted her head up and looked into his eyes.

"You will stop... Loving me... Once you... Found out about my past." Samantha said with tears to Johnson and he gave a small smile and wiped her tears away and kissed her forehead lovingly.

"Samantha, I promise you I will not judge you or stop loving you after knowing about your past and if you want to tell me about your past then tell me when you are comfortable with me, okay?" Said Johnson lovingly by staring into her eyes and Samantha just got in his eyes and started thinking in her mind that can someone really love her? How can he love her without knowing her past? Can Samantha love him back as he does?

'No, Sam. Nobody loves you except for me cause you are not born to love someone.' These words came to her mind from her past.

"Samantha." Johnson called

"Umm..." Samantha said.

"Let's go. I guess everyone is waiting for us and don't tell anyone about whatever happened here, okay?" Johnson asked.

"Okay." Samantha replied and Johnson took out a wipe from his pant pocket and gave it to Samantha.

"Here, take this wipe and clean your face." Johnson said with a small smile.

Samantha took the wipe from him and cleaned her face with it. Samantha didn't have makeup on her and cleaned her dress neatly and looked at Johnson and saw he is already starting at her.

"You are beautiful." Johnson said with a smile and Samantha took aback with his straightforwardness.

Samantha snapped out of her thoughts and nodded her head.

"Let's go." Samantha said and Johnson nodded his head and gave her the phone back.

"Thank you." Samantha said.

"Your welcome." Johnson replied and they walked to the beach.

"Where were you doing until now?" Cassandra asked.

"We..." Johnson cut off Samantha in mid-sentence.

"I got an important call too. That's why we are late." Johnson replied and Cassandra nodded.

"Oh, okay." Cassandra said.

Johnson went near them and sat down between Elina and Lucy on the quilt where Liam, Cassandra, Lucy, Damon, Robert, Jessica, Thomas, and Elina sat with picnic baskets.

"Can I have a sandwich?" Johnson asked with a big and happy smile and everyone frowned at his bright smile

"Sure." Cassandra replied and gave him a sandwich and he started eating it.

Samantha smiled looking at Johnson and turned around and saw Alexi sitting alone on the sand far away from everyone and Samantha went to her.

"Why are you smiling like that? Did something happened?" Lucy asked with a frown and Johnson smiled.

"I confessed." Johnson said with a smile while looking at Samantha's walking figure.

"What?" Everyone asked and Johnson looked at everyone wide eyes and Johnson laughed.

"I confessed my love to her." Johnson said with a smile and everyone's eyes widened.

"Sam... Sam is good right?" Lucy asked.

"Yes. She is." Johnson replied and Lucy, Damon looked at each other.

"What did she say?" Cassandra asked.

"Well, she didn't say anything yet." Johnson replied.

"Let her take some time." Robert said and Johnson nodded.

"But, I am happy that you finally said Samatha about your feelings." Cassandra said with a smile and Johnson smiled.

"Alexi." Samantha called and Alexi turned around and saw Samantha and suddenly got up and ran towards Samantha and higher her tightly.

"You okay, right?" Alexi asked with tears and Samantha is shocked to see her in tears but she wiped Alexi's tears and took her face in her hands.

"Yes, Lexi but why are you crying?" Samantha asked.

"I was..." Andrew cut off Alexi in mid-sentence as he walked towards Samantha and Alexi.

"She is just worried about you, Sam." Andrew said looking at Alexi and she looked angrily at Andrew.

"Worried? Why?" Samantha asked.

"Just leave this topic now. Alexi, go. Go and enjoy with others. You will not get time to enjoy after we reach New York." Andrew said and Alexi just looked angrily at Andrew and Samantha frowned.

"Alexi, come." Martin said running towards Samantha, Alexi, and grabbed Alexi's hand.

"Leave me." Alexi said annoyedly.

"Come on, don't be angry now. We all came to enjoy here." Martin replied and Alexi rolled her eyes.

"Ahh! Come with me." Martin said and grabbed her hand.

"Yeah, Lexi. Go and enjoy it." Samantha said with a small smile and Alexi sighed.

"Fine." Alexi said and went with Martin.

"What happened to Alexi?" Samantha asked.

"Nothing. She is good." Andrew replied.

"Hey." Johnson voice came and Samantha, Andrew turned around and saw Johnson walking towards them.

"Hey, Johnson." Andrew said and Johnson nodded.

"Well, I will go to enjoy with guys too." Andrew said and Johnson nodded and Andrew walked away.

Samantha looked at Johnson and gave a small smile.

"Let's go swim." Johnson said.

"Umm... I don't like swimming." Samantha replied and Johnson nodded.

"Well, I will go then." Johnson said and Samatha nodded with a smile.

Johnson took out his T-shirt and Samantha's eyes widened looking at his toned body, which gets covered in expensive suits daily.

"Take a picture. It will last longer." Johnson said with a chuckle and Samantha turned her face and started blushing with embarrassment.

"You don't have to be embarrassed looking at me, baby. This is all yours, forever. You can look at it whenever you want and wherever you want." Johnson whispered in Samantha's ear making Samantha widen her eyes and her heart started beating fastly.

Johnson chuckled looking at her red cheeks.

"You look more beautiful when you blush because of me." Johnson said again making Samantha's eyes widened and kissed her red cheeks. Johnson kept his t-shirt in her hands and walked away from her making Samantha's heart race...

Samantha sat down on the sand and bought the t-shirt to her nose and a strong perfume smell hit her nostrils amd she smiled big but that smile didn't live long on her face until the questions came into her mind.

'Can I love him? But, what if I can't love him like how he loves me? What if I fail in Love again? Will there be any consequences for me to face them again?' Samantha asked herself.

"What if I need to face more consequences for loving him?" Samantha asked herself amd closed her eyes and took a deep breath and this all was didn't go unnoticed by Johnson and Alexi!
