"I should've to stay beside you when Hunter is here but he keeps on bothering me when you're not with me. I became so done to him so I blurted," she explain between her fake cries. "I know when I am with you, you would cover my mouth, sorry, I didn't mean to."
I take a deep breath. I felt sudden excitement but also embarrassed. Is that the reason why he avoiding me? "I didn't see him after the prom. He never opens his window, maybe he doesn't feel the same. I am just his enemy who he loves to tease back then." Realization of faith doesn't want us to be together making me sigh deeply.
Melanie was there, for sure she did succeed in making him fall for her, and for sure, the next thing they will do, Hunter proposing to her. I could imagine it already. Me, watching on my window to his backyard where he'll propose to her, their relatives were around them.
"Maybe he's thinking about you or what to do next." I give her a sad face but deep inside, I am now getting done with her.
I hopped outside her car as she did it so. She waves to me and shouts 'Goodbye'. I went inside the house, Hunter better not come outside his house or see me starting today, that confession was embarrassing!
I went to my room and did my doings for tomorrow. It's not that many and I have done at exact 7. I look at the pass at my window and his window briefly open but his curtains were closed. I sigh, "Lira! Dinner is ready!" Ayden shout.
"Ohh! I'm coming." I shout then stand up and gather my things and went outside the room. There's Ayden, Noah, Shane, and Garry sitting at the dining table, already eating.
"Don't you want to buy new furniture for this house, Lira?" Ayden asks eyes were roaming around the place.
"I want but I don't have enough money. The furniture here is still okay." Noah nodded in my statement.
"But don't you want to change the style of this house? Arrange where you want to put that couch and make this house your dream house."
"Soon, not now." I finished my food then went upstairs without uttering a word to them. I am not in the mood to say something to someone right now. Seems like Hunter's behavior and also his no-appearance for almost the whole week affecting me.
I went to the bathroom and did my night routine. I wore my pajama and went inside, closing the window but didn't lock, no one will come from there though. My gaze was stuck in his window and just then, the kiss we both had that night was not that best for me but I still feel like he still had his lips to mine.
My hand unconsciously went up to my lips and caressed it while going back to that times. I shook my head and let my hand fall before letting a heavy sigh. I open the air conditioner low.
I cover my whole body with a soft, comfortable blanket. I was about to fall asleep when I feel the cold breeze, I don't have an idea where it is coming from but didn't move from my place and continue to imagine things to put myself to sleep.
"Lia," Someone utter. My smile slowly faded as soon as I heard it. I am imagining Hunter doing fan signing and our hands accidentally touched each other but why am I hearing that Clifford's voice?
That's when I feel my bed fall, indicating someone joined me on the bed. A strong warm arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me close to them. My breath hitch as I smell his perfume. This is just a dream, Alexandria. This is just a dream. My heart beats faster as I feel his breath was getting nearer and nearer to my shoulder.
"Lia," he called again. I turn around and felt his hands drawing circles to my waist and I giggle. That's when I felt something hot on my lips, it feels real. My eyes widened after he bites my lower lips, I got awoke from my dream. As soon as I open my eyes, there's someone very close to me, that I can't recognize who it is but by the way he smells, it is Hunter.
"H-Hunter." He went on top of me which caught me off guard. I put my hands on his chest and was about to push him when he hold my hand and put his hand in the back of my neck to kiss me again and deepen the kiss. The kiss was aggressive and soon after, it became passionate and that's when I respond to him and close my eyes to feel the moment.
Soon, he left my lips, making our foreheads touch each other. He takes something on the table beside the bed while I am still looking and hypnotized by his eyes that I can't look down on what he is doing. He stares at me before motioning his palm to my face.
My eyes look at the bottled water on his hand as I felt something on my cheeks with his thumb massaging it. "You're beautiful," he said in a very low tone. Again, he got my eyes looking at him. "Why need to waste that damn make-up and time to put that wrinkle on your face?"
Before I could utter a response, he claim my lips again and continue biting my lower lips, hungrily. I heard a loud sound of a bottle and floor colliding but I don't care. I held his cheeks and deepen the kiss.
Our body soon get heat and I broke the kiss before something happened more than we just did just now. "It's evening, what are you doing here?" I ask, my lips were swollen because of the kiss and I can tell he is too.
"To check you out." We both panted for a minute.
"Go back there already, Melanie might be worrying about you now." He groans.
"We're not a thing anymore."
"Then you're trying to get me? Why? To be your toy after her? Hell no," I blurted. I cover my head to toes with the blanket, wanting to cry at the fact he's taking the advantage of getting close to me. After all, he knew I can't say no to him because he already knows I love him...
"That's not what I meant..." I pulled the blanket away from my face and stare at my face. "You're Lia, you own my heart.." I freeze at my place, stunned. He what?
"Stay away from me, I don't want to see your face." It wasn't coming from me, it was from my mind. My heart says the opposite, my mind saying. It wants him to stay and cuddle with me while my mind was hurt from his lies and wants him to go away. "No one will believe your lies, you better study how to lie so we don't catch you if you're telling the truth or not."
"I'm—"
"If you knew about my feelings, don't you ever take advantage of it. I am not like your past girlfriends, I am different from them now if you don't have nothing left to say, please, go away." I sat on my bed and point the window to him. "Leave..." I stand up after seeing him not moving from his place. I strolled to the window where he hopped in. "Leave before I could call Ayden." His eyes darken but soon stand up and make his way to the window but made a halt in front of me and stare at my eyes for a minute before jumping off the window to his room.
I went to the bathroom after closing the window and look at myself. My hair was a little bit messy and my wrinkle has been smudged by the water he rubbed to my cheeks. I sigh and wash my face and put on some cream for my skin to stay smooth after putting on some makeup which is the wrinkle.
Guess, he already knows about me...
I went to my bed and look at the window, it was now locked as the window was covering the window for him not to glimpse what is happening inside my room. I am a bit confused, it's our third kiss without any label. I can't believe I am giving in to kiss him while I suppose to give my first, second, and third kiss to my boyfriend which was still pending.
My heart wants it, my mind doesn't.
Which one should I pick and follow? Heart or mind? Shane said Heart since it doesn't lie. But what if I follow it and nothing happened?
If you follow your heart, you can find your treasure. My example is my love for Gabby, many obstacles came between us when we're still not dating, but because we both fight for our love and follow our hearts, anyone around us let us live peacefully, love peacefully.
Noah's words when Garry was just 2 months old came across my mind. We, Shane and Noah, and me talking to each other on the phone and that's when Noah give me and Shane some advice about following our hearts.
I want to forget him but it is hard to forget...
I cry myself to sleep.
To be continued.
