You're the ONE I need

Leandro's POV

"Mmmm, you smell so fresh," he said, smelling her hair.

She just came out of a shower after their swimming at the beach.

She became addicted to her presence, and he wanted her to be his legally. Five months is too long already.

"Sweetheart, what do you think of getting us married soon?" he asked

She's a little surprised, maybe because they planned on getting married when her memory returns.

After a few seconds, she replied.

"If that's what you think is right, beside, there's no difference if we get married now or later; we are probably going to be," she said, making him ecstatic. He hugged her tight and kissed her passionately.

Finally, his waiting will come to an end. It is not easy for a man to control. Especially he used to have numbers of women back then in Italy before Margot came.

If he told his friends that he had never had an intimate moment with Lizzy in five months of being together, they would laugh at him. They knew how Casanova he is. He only slowed down in playing with women when he decided to settle down.

He only gives tender kisses to her. She's old-fashioned and liberated at the same time.

When he tried to touch her in her private part, she held her hand and squeezed it, saying, "Not now, not until I have a ring in my finger." From then on, he never tried again, and she's happy with his hugs and kisses only.

"Is it OK that we will just make it simple?" She told him when he let go of her lips.

"How simple do you like it, Cara?" he asked.

"Well, since I've no family," she puased. He could see that sadness in her eyes and could hear it in her voice. She looked down to control not to cry.

He tilted her chin and looked her in the eyes.

"I'm your family; we will create our own family," he said, planting kisses on her forehead, her nose, and her lips.

She hugged him tight. He could feel that she wouldn't let him go. He will definitely not leave her. He hugged her back.

They were in that position for a few minutes until she slowly let go of her hands from hugging him.

"Okay, where are we?" she said enthusiastically.

"Oh, I said, I just want us to have a simple wedding. Just you and me, and some close friends, especially Dr. Huffmann and his family, Rudy and Clara. Just a civil marriage. The important thing is that we will be legally married," she said. "I'm OK with it, and then when your memory comes back, I want to give you a wedding of your dreams," he said happily.

He asked her to marry him because he already had a name to write in their marriage contract. He hired a private investigator to check the manifesto of the cruise that sank during that day of tragedy. He found out that most people were all identified and claimed by their family. Only Clarissa Lizbeth Llanes hasn't. So now he knows that Lizzy's name is Clarissa Lizbeth. Not far from the nickname he gave her.

And according to the investigation, there's no realtive looking for Clarissa Lizbeth. He wondered why, but it's even better without anyone looking for her. Lizzy will be all his.

With the help of Clara and Dr. Huffman's Filipina wife, their wedding is ready.

They manage to replace all those materials needed for the wedding. Friends of the Filipino wives have gathered to lend a helping hand.

Finally, the beach was adorned with a beautiful arch filled with beautiful wild orchids.

They decided to have a beach wedding. Actually, its his suggestion. This place has unforgettable memories, and he wanted to make more memories there.

Rudy invited a minister to solemnize their union, and in less than an hour they were pronounced husband and wife.

"You're so beautiful, my wife; I can't wait to lavish you," he whispered to his wife.

She pinched him in the side.

She's blushing.

If he's excited to have her. He couldn't wait for long.

"Lizzy, how's your feeling? I mean, are there any chances or some instances to get to the window of your past?" The doctor asked her while they finished their eating, and now they are only having some conversation. "There are nights that I dreamed of somewhere like sailing. But it never continues," she replied to the doctor.

"Just take it easy, Lizzy. Don't force yourself. They will come back at the right time," the doctor told her.

"Thank you, doctor. Actually, I'm not rushing for my memory to come back. I guess there will be no difference in the present," she said.

"I can tell that. You two are very happy with each other," the doctor said.

"Very much, doctor, that's why we decided to get married now rather than wait," he replied.

Maybe for now Lizzy thinks that maybe there's no difference; she is in her present time and she doesn't know yet what is in her past.

What if someone is waiting for her?

But he keeps convincing himself that if there is someone or anyone, they have to make more efforts to replace her. They should try all the means just to replace her. But no one did; no one does.

But she's gone for many months now, and there's no one knocking at his door and demanding to claim her.

No one reported of a missing person named Clarissa Lizbeth Llanes. Hes following the news on TV and even bought newspapers hoping to replace a post or reports that someone is looking for her. He remembered that the man he asked to check the names of all the passengers who boarded that cruise told him that no one had actually asked about Lizzy.

After their wedding, he will bring her to his estate in Italy
