I am busy doing paper works for Monday while he— I don't know what he is doing but the sound of his keyboard was heard every second.
"Are you mad or something? Why are you typing so fast?" He stops, slowly looking up at me.
"I'm not, I don't know why I am writing very fast but I think there are so many ideas that came to my mind." He shrugs his shoulder which made me nod. I look at my laptop again and do my business, and right then before I type on my laptop, something hit me.
Did he just talk to me in a nice, calm tone? Or am I just dreaming? As I said, we used to fight every time and we can't talk seriously as we can't stop bickering. I sigh and a sly smile could be seen on my face; I didn't point it out or say something as I know if I tell him something, we could end up fighting and throw some hurting words we don't mean to each other.
In the Afternoon, we both sigh and laid on the couch's back as we both finish our business at the same time. "Finally!" We both look at each other as we shout the same word.
"So, we both finish our work, can we go somewhere now?" I rolled my eyes.
"No, I want to sleep." I stand up and gather my things. He moves in his place and holds my wrist.
"It is still afternoon and you will sleep? No. You will come to me," he said. He drags me before he could fully drag me, I grab my phone and let him drag me as I can't tell no to him and don't want to fight anymore.
"So where will we go in this hour?" I ask, a little irritated.
"Somewhere you don't know." I chuckled, sarcastically.
"Are you kidnapping me?!" I panic. I look at him, eyes wide. "Are you kidding me, Hunter? I don't want to die and I am still young to die. I want to change the world before I let grim reaper call my name and die. I want to see my parents live in the house I will buy for them." I clasp both of my palms, closing my eyes, tightly.
"I'm sorry I lied to you, I lied to you with Melanie. She threatened me and I thought of agreeing to her so I could get rid of my feelings for you. Please, I mean the thing I did, I mean it and I know I am selfish, I know. But please, spare my life. I am Alexandria, Lia, your enemy. You can call me all you want... You can torture me but don't kill me or kidnap me, I have family and I want them to be safe."
Because of panicking and my nervousness, I didn't notice the car stopped. "H-hunter—?" I called. "Wuuhhuuu!" I faked cry after not getting some response, I slowly open my eyes and before I could open my eyes, something soft and wet touched my lips. I was about to shout but before I could do it, it deepens to my lips to prevent me from shouting.
Not so long after, I smell Hunter's breath in my face and I think he is kissing me — wait! Kissing! He is kissing me right now! And after realizing it, he stops and backs away a little. "Open your mouth," he said. Confused, I did what he said and I flinch, he eating my face right now!
The kiss got heated and I response to him with the same passion. After a minute, we both pulled away as we pant heavily, catching for air. I thought, he would push me away and start driving again, but the second he did was link our forehead together and shared the same air. "Th-That was so amazing," he said, amazed. His eyes were sparkling.
"Th-this wasn't right, Hunter. Let me go." I push him and look outside and before I could open the lock of the passenger side door, he held my wrist.
"I would never let you go again. Never. Never again, Lia." My heart melted. That's it, he knows my weakness; him and his words. I made a halt on my movement, "I would rather die than seeing you all happy and moved without me beside you. I don't want to see you happy without me. I want to be the reason for every laugh, giggle, a smile you will place on your lips. I want to make you mine because you are always mine." He said, calmly. I turn around just to see him, there was a slight tear waving in his eyes.
"I can't tolerate hearing you have a boyfriend. You making me crazy for you, Lia." He whispers, his hand made its way to my cheeks and caressed it. "The day after you got kick out, I find whoever does that, then the next day— I saw you on the rooftop, but suddenly, you start to clingy in my arms instead of fighting and pinch my ears, calling me I look like a Monkey, asking me what am I doing there and why am I bothering you."
"Then after that, there's a new student named Alexandria. You get my attention like Lia did every time she walk to the room, passing by many students. You were stunningly beautiful as ever and even there's a crowd, I only see you, you were standing bright through the crowd. After finding out the mysteries happening, before the graduation; I found out the woman stands beside me and the woman I ask to be my girlfriend was not you but Melanie; the girl who's obsessed with me. I am aware of her attitude around me."
"I also find you, you're Lia... But I still acted like I don't know you and continue my relationship with Melanie but that wasn't like before that I was clingy to her. I want you to come to me and tell me about everything that happened. Why did you put wrinkles when you don't like make-up on your face? Why do you hide your identity from me? But you didn't change the way you talk and the charisma you hold."
"I don't know your full name since I wasn't paying attention to the class, but when I am passing to your desk, I saw you lettering something to the back of your notebook and that's when I decide to call you Lia." He stops as tears slowly trolling his eyes. I get a little confused why he has to be like this when he doesn't love me back. All he did was annoy me.
I fight myself to not feel sad and worried about him, this won't affect me this time. I promise I'll be brave now, I won't let my feelings have more control than my mind. "I love you, Lia... That time when I went to the rooftop, I want to ask you to be my girlfriend, but you seemed different so I neglect it and observe you, but the next day, I can't help but to fall in love with you deeper and deeper so I ask you, little did I know, that is Melanie and not you." My heart skips a bit.
D-did I just overheard something because I am hallucinating? Am I imagining things again? Gosh! Stop it, I don't want to ruin my mood today.
"You heard it right, Lia. I love you." His hand move to my hand on my lap and squeezes it and the other was still on my cheeks, caressing it.
I felt like someone poured cold water to me, as soon as those words left his mouth, making me a little clearer and still confused. Tears filled my eyes faster than his. "Why do you have to do this to me? Why you also wanted to play with my feelings? What did I do wrong to you?!" I push his hands away from me. "You're playing with my feelings in the first place. Why? Is it because it's good to play me? Well, for your information, for me it doesn't. It's annoying, knowing you don't really in love with me, it's bothering me. Go away from my sight." I went outside, I slam the door close.
Hunter went out of the car and hold my wrist. "Why? Do you think I will give you another chance? No. You had a girlfriend and you are engaged! I don't want to broke a relationship just because of me. I am not like you, I won't let you use me to cheat on her." I harshly jerk his hand from my wrist and walk forward. "Don't mind what I and Shane said, my feelings were unwanted. I never wanted to grow feelings for you. I never wanted these freaking feelings for you! It was useless."
No cars, cabs coming in this street in these hours and the sky is lighting, giving a sign it will rain. I sigh and wipe the tears that were about to fall. I don't know why even if he hurt me, I can't seem to hate him. I can't get a reason how can I hate him so my feelings for him will fade. We both didn't see each other for 2-3 years but why are my feelings still here? Do I have to suffer because of him for the rest of my life?
I keep on cursing in my mind and throwing bad things at Hunter which I didn't mean; it was because of the anger I was feeling right now. I'm getting into it.
"Lia!" He shouts. I did not look around to see him. I am broken. There were still tears left from the tears I burst when I saw him propose to her. I cried a lot that day but look I am now, still have tears to cry; I am glad I am still hydrated.
"Lia!" As soon as he called me, lighting and thunder came making me flinch and fall to the ground. My tears fell uncontrollably and cover both ears and buried my face to my stomach as I felt heavy little drops of water falling from the sky.
Something might be good will come after this darkness. I keep on telling it to myself to cheer myself up.
I felt cold; I want to hug myself but I am being cautious of the thunder sound. I keep on whispering Ayden, Noah's name even mom and dad's to help me. I have dealt with this back then when I was in college, but I cope it very well as I went back home safe and granny and grandpa used to sleep beside me when there's a storm. It seems like I am super weak today that I can't even remember how did I cop this kind of situation back then.
Even the sky is feeling blue, the weather is comforting me by crying with me. But— I am afraid of thunders. Mom... Mom... My sobs became louder as the thunder continued to growl making me cry more and shout like there's no tomorrow. A very light in the sky came making me deaf and feel a radiated in my back as I pressed myself together, waiting for the thunder. "Mom!!" I shout, asking for help.
"Lia!!" he called.
