The Ugly Diana

The Ugly Diana,

"How was your training?" Ethan finally spoke. Diana sighed, which didn' go unnoticed by Ethan, who smiled in return. Diana was pleased with where the conversation started from.

She sat well on the couch and felt less nervous since Ethan didn' touch the subject they had before departing. "It' not bad." she replied. "I thought your look would have improved after not seeing you for a while but," Ethan tsked, "you look more ugly." He added, which made Diana opened her eyes wide, all her nervousness vanishing totally. "You!!" she glared at him.

"Me what?" Ethan asked, enjoying her reaction.

"I will strangle you to death." she didn' know when she blurted out what was supposed to be her inner thoughts. "It' fine, I told you I could keep my sanity no matter how you look." He said.

That' sweet and annoying at the same time. it sounded like a confession, reminder, teasing and mocking in Diana' head. The good ones are more than the annoying ones, so she kept quiet and didn' retort.

"I' missed your disturbance Diana, no one to do cute revenge on me." Ethan pouted, making Diana rolled her eyes. Without realising it, she' loosening up and returning to her former self. She couldn' think of anything else now, except their conversation, which was intended. Ethan wanted to take it slow.

"You expected me to say I miss something too? well I didn' miss anything about you. How' grandpa?" Diana asked. She really do miss the old man. Ethan sighed, because his grandpa is still demanding an explanation on Diana' whereabouts.

...

"Please permit me to not give up on you Diana." He spoke up, making Diana smile froze.

Diana heart began it' marathon again, as she stared into his eyes that was obvious that he' worried about her response. "I' willing to allow you to do whatever you want, you can be an assassin, be a killer, train as much as you want, I' cool with it now.

Please leave a little space in your heart for me, I want you to do whatever you want, but still know that I' here. Please give me a chance, I won' stand in your path but walk with you all through in my heart and soul." He said. He intentionally outlined all the excuses that could made Diana not want to consider him, to make her free her mind. Diana felt herself holding her breath. She wondered how she' worth this much.
