There you were, in the arms of Alex Volkox, CEO of Archer Group.

The two of you had been dating for nearly a year now, and yet it was the first time you had finally been invited to one of his social events. It was a charity auction, and he knew you liked to be helpful, so if course he wanted to bring you. He liked seeing the happy little smile on your face when you helped others.

The bidding had ended and now the two of you were slowly rocking back and forth to the slow dance music as were most couples, your head tucked against his shoulder and his arms wrapped around your waist. You hummed softly along to the song, until you looked up and met his gaze, murmuring that one question that would have his gut wrenching and mind spinning like a tabletop.

"Do you think we'll be in love forever?

Now neither of you had even said the word to each other in the first place, having it a rather big meaning and Alex wasn't one who was great with emotions. So what was he meant to say to that, huh? Was he meant to agree, even if he didn't know for sure if that were true? He knew he liked you a lot, but did he love you? Maybe. He really didn't know what that even meant to begin with.

"I never knew you were in love with me in the first place." HE quietly muttered into your ear before pressing the gentlest kiss to your cheek.
