I stopped dead on my track as I gulped at the sight of him. I couldn’t believe my eyes right now and there was a sudden tightness in my chest. I sucked in a breath, not wanting to look away, and waited for him to turn his back around to face me. My hands were sweating like hell, as the heat started to surge in. If I was dreaming, then I didn’t want to wake up.
When he turned around, his gaze immediately landed on me. His stare was mesmerizing, and the way his ey
He looked uncomfortable as he stared at me. I bit my bottom lip in embarrassment, not knowing what I should say next. It seemed as if he didn’t hear what I just said because he didn’t respond. I bet he wasn’t sure how he would forgive me or how he would confront me of how horrible I was to him. I could feel his coldness, without that longing and constant need for affection. I couldn’t believe that he was unlike this before. He was so different.“I&rs
The conversation I had with Miguel was nerve-racking. It didn’t leave my head the moment we stopped our conversation. It repeated like a broken record, continuously replaying in my head enough to not let me sleep. When he showed no feeling towards me, it was the moment I knew I messed everything up. I should’ve known better, not to hurt him with the anxiety I fed to myself. I should’ve been brave enough to stand up for our relationship but I became a coward. He wouldn’t have turned his back on me. He wouldn’t have been disappointed by my lack of honesty. And I couldn’t help but loathe myself, knowing that we wouldn’t have ended here if I didn’t become so fragile.
After I had a conversation with Kourtney, I felt quite relieved. I hadn’t bailed all my emotions out because I just thought that it was unnecessary. But at least I had a chance to talk to someone about Miguel. When she said that I should be more open to people, that’s when our conversation ended. She headed upstairs and I was left in the kitchen wondering about what she meant by that.I was never the type of person who would easily open up to people even to my closest
Learning Spanish and ingesting all these new words in just less than a day was one of the things I wasn’t fond of. Aside from being so stupid to foreign languages, I had
We arrived at Chipotle, as Daniel suggested, to grab ourselves something to eat. We sat inside the restaurant as Miguel ordered us some burritos at the counter. Miguel and Daniel almost argued about who was going to pay for the foods. Not because no one was willing to treat us, but because both of them offered to pay for it. So we had an arrangement that Miguel would pay for mine and Daniel would pay for Kourtney. And since this was a Mexican restaurant, Miguel initiated to order the foods.
I gulped. I didn’t move a muscle and I just gawked at Miguel whose face became unreadable. Daniel caressed my arm with his thumb and I didn’t know how I would react in this situation. I was stuck choosing if I should pull away from Daniel or just let him realize how uncomfortable we were by his gesture. There wasn’t anything wrong with it. I just thought that this was quite insensitive to Miguel. I knew this was just a façade and he was meant to make Miguel jealous to see if he was certain about his decision of ending everything between us, but this had gone too far. I mean, I wasn’t liking this attention.
Gunshots firing on the splatterburst target had echoed in the open field. Even though I had earmuffs on, the gunshots still pierced in my ears. I threw continuous shots in the head target as a smug smirk crept across my face. When I ran out of ammo, I pulled another magazine inside the holster and pulled the trigger again, but nothing came out. Sighing, I slid the gun back to the holster and removed the protective goggles. I averted my attention to Kourtney who kept missing her shot and crossed my arms above my chest. Sweat was trickling down my forehead and the sunlight that struck my skin caused the heat to gush through me. I’d missed this heat, and my body craved for more. It was like it constantly needed some work out after a short period of break.
I was in complete shock. My mind had stopped running and it went completely blank. Everything just passed by in a blur, as I stared distantly at which path they’d left. I couldn’t move and my breath just shortened, suffocating me as I prevented tears from cascading down my face. There was a sudden pit in my stomach that my hands trembled, my body wouldn’t budge, and there was only silence though Hansel was already shaking me.William was calling my name but all
