"I love you" he barely whispered and I swear I wouldn't have been able to hear but I did. Wow this is not what I was expecting to hear. No...no no.. this is not true. It's all a dream...Right?

*Now**

Anna's POV...

"I've always loved you back in college and now more than ever. I can barely take my eyes off you even for a second. Anna I love you more than you could ever imagine. Want to hear the truth? I've been stalking you since you started working at my Corp and I just couldn't let you know who I was. I'm sorry about that. I just wanted to get to know more about you from a distance but it didn't help. Sure I dated other women but none was like you. I tried to forget you but I just couldn't, neither did I have the courage to tell you how I feel. I've been dying to be with you and just one day, one day that you've stayed in my house, I just can't hold back anymore. Anna I love you with my life and I'll do anything to have you". His confession hit the roof and I really do want him but I don't know if I love him. Yes, I have feelings for him but love? I've never loved, I only like. Love is a strong word and I don't know if that's what I feel for him. He is cute, charming, loving, hardworking and I don't think I can stay a second without him by my side. The thought of him with other women is making me sick as h.e.l.l. Wait... maybe I actually love him. Ugh... I don't even know.

"I... I... uhh..."

"It's okay if you don't feel the same way. I am totally cool with that. I just want you know that I love you and I'll always be by your side no matter--"

I cut him off-guard by kissing him. He froze for a second before deepening the kiss. His hands slipped to my waist and I soon find myself straddling his lap. The kiss was ferocious and when we finally pulled apart, we were panting. I rested my forehead on his and we smiled deeply at each other.

5 days later..

**Nighttime**

Anna's POV...

I was on a video call with Ella and she seemed pleased with the earlier confession. I never thought I'd feel loved. That makes me wonder if he loves me for who I am or he loves me for who I was. If he loves the UGLY Betty Anna or the new s.e.xy Anna? That I don't know. I know I have feelings for him but I don't know what it is... infatuation or crush or like like or... love. I honestly am confused as h.e.l.l.

"Are you even listening to me?"

"W..what? Sorry.. you were saying?"

"I knew you weren't listening. You were probably thinking of him. Look Anna, you love him. Do you remember the way you used to blab about him back in college. 'Oh Ben smiled at me today' 'Ben and I wore matching jacket' 'Ben was looking sad today' 'Ben skipped a cla.s.s today' 'Ben this... Ben that! And now all you ever think of is Ben. All you've been discussing with me always linked to Ben. Baby girl you love him and I know that. Give him a chance to prove himself to you. I mean who takes a girl to 'his thinking spot' if he doesn't love her. Ann love, follow your heart". She was right though. Ever since I've been living in Ben's house, all I find myself thinking about is him. He was even in my dreams. It's been five days since he confessed to me and I've been trying hard enough to avoid that topic with him. I don't know what to do.

"Argh... I'm so confused Ella."

"You know what will happen? Follow your heart. Tell him how you really feel about him, okay?"

"I'll think about it"

"You better do. I've got to go, my date's waiting"

"Say hi to him"

"I will. Bye babe"

Maybe she's right. Maybe I love him. I'll think about that tomorrow. I'm too tired to stress my brain.

It seemed like I've been lying on the bed for hours. I just couldn't sleep. "Ugh... I need coffee". I got out of the bed and headed towards the kitchen. The house was dark and quiet. Ms Williams and Ben must be sleeping. So I'm the only one who can't sleep in this house, GREAT. I gulped down the coffee and went back to my room. Just as I was about to open the door, I felt my heart squeezed inside my chest and I started searching for air. Fresh air but there was none. Oh no! my panic attack is coming back. My body started growing numb and I let out a loud scream while clenching onto my chest then blacked out.
