"What are you looking at?" Arabella asked, staring at Zoe's smiling face. She looked so happy but her gaze spoke of things she couldn't understand."You" Zoe points out still smiling, she's been watching her for hours now but it feels like seconds.Arabella blinks at her, perplexed. "You shouldn't do that" she grumbles in her stomach."Why not?" Question Zoe with a raised brow. "I've missed you" she confesses. No matter how much she tries to bring herself to believe Arabella is right there, where she belongs in her arms she can't help but feel like it's all a dream.That's why she chooses to wake up as early as she could even before sunrise just to watch her, maybe then, her heart will agree with her that their Arabella is finally back."Jerk, get off me" Arabella pushes her away.Zoe laughs out heartily, "That's my line, not yours" She reminds Arabella of the fact that she was the one lying to her.Arabella hums faking an angry face, just when she was about to get off the bed, Zoe pu
"Zoe, satisfy us with your amazing coffee" Ms Patricia didn't want Zoe hanging around while she tries to have a one-on-one chat with Arabella.Zoe hasn't told her anything related to her feelings for Arabella but she could see through her smiles and silence, her possessiveness over Arabella defines her intentions. "Sure" Zoe walks her way into the Kitchen."She's such a darling, always putting orders, feelings and needs above hers" Ms Patricia voice out smiling while staring at the empty door Zoe walked through.Arabella knew who she was talking about, "yeah, that's what I admire most about her." She adds.Ms Patricia hums in response, "How long have you known her?" She asked, with a frown as if trying to remember something. "Since we were kids, long before I could reason things about the world," Arabella chuckles at her joke."That's such a long time, no doubt you guys are this close. Let me gossip a little, I've known of your existence before you came, Zoe never stops worrying abo
"She's fun to be with" Arabella exclaimed, smiling at her thought."Told ya," Zoe beams, hands buried into her pants. Her gaze fell on Arabella's hands, the urge to intertwine their fingers together was so much but she held it, not willing to give in. Instead, she forces herself to smile more."Yeah, you did," Arabella agreed. "I'd love to visit some times," she adds.Zoe smiled at nothing but her smiling face, she looks more than beautiful."I see you" Arabella whispers, reminding Zoe she isn't senseless to feel her hot gaze on her."Of course, you do. I know" Zoe chuckles and turns her attention ahead of them."Zoe?" Luca called from behind and grabbed Zoe by the wrist, hoping to get her to listen to what he had to say.Ever since he left her place, Zoe had never spared him a glance talkless of giving him a chance. And then, now, all of a sudden he sees her with Arabella and they look just fine.For some reason, he felt his stomach grumble in disagreement. The possessiveness and jea
Song recommendation: Thousand Years Christina Perri. "What a boring day!" Arabella groans as she walks out of the hall they just had a class in. One of her worst times ever, lectures. But she had no choice but to attend. She walks to her locker and pulls out a textbook she was to read later at night. Exams were fastly approaching and it is better she starts reading early."Jesus!" She yells out upon seeing a certain someone that was made visible the moment she closes the locker."WTF! Stop being a ghost around" she complains, holding onto her chest to calm her raising heart."Wait, I remember you" she points out, "you are the guy from yesterday, the one Zoe doesn't want to talk to" She puts on a thoughtful face sizing the guy up and down.No matter what she said, he didn't respond. His gaze at her was intense as though he would eat her up if given the chance.This got her frowning, "do you perhaps don't talk to strangers?" She raised a brow demanding for him to say something but he
"Why must it always be like this? Why must my love always bring me unending pain and sorrow?" Zoe asked no one in tears, she stared at the bright evening sky in pain and agony.Just when she thought things are falling into place, another comes up and drifts them further apart than they already were."It hurts so much" She clenched her chest, and the pain was unbearable.All this while, she has been able to handle it knowing she will be able to stay with her as always but then, she can't anymore.Knowing how much Arabella hates gays, this is the beginning of the end of their relationship."I've always loved you, more than I loved myself but you never saw me," She said in between her sobs, "Can't you see? My heart is weary, yearning for your love and my head keeps seeing no one but you. Why can't you take a step closer and feel it all? Just a step closer, to hear how loud it screams for you" "Love is indeed pain, your love hurts but I can't stop walking deeper, seeking to reach the end
Three weeks laterZoe stood behind the stage, sweat dripping off her face and her palms getting moist. Even when AC was available, she still felt hot.It was time, the day she had been preparing for but it felt like she had never been ready for it. She walks and takes a seat on the sofa, with a deep sigh, she bows her head trying to keep her cool.She is the next step on stage after the ongoing contestants are done and she is trying her best to be her utmost best but things seem to be taking a different part.There is nothing she could think of but Arabella, ever since that incident happened, they haven't had much to discuss and it's pretty frustrating.She isn't sure if Arabella will attend, but deep down she hopes she does."You'll get there in five minutes!" A brown hair man of about his thirties informs.Zoe nods, "Thanks" She grabs the bottle of water by the side and gulps it down.A few minutes passed and it was time for her to go on stage, As she walks in, she never stopped gla
"Zoe?" Arabella calls running up to her, "hold on, please" she pleads Zoe, who wasn't expecting anyone, was stunned to see her chasing breathlessly. "Rabella!?" She calls out, surprising evidence in her voice."God!, I feel like I just ran a thousand miles," Arabella exclaims, hands resting on her thighs."What's up? " Zoe asked, with a slight frown on her face.Arabella flashes her a smile, " that was pretty awesome back there " she starts, standing up straight.Zoe nods, lips forming a thin line. " Thanks" she had nothing to say."Did you have to risk it all? " Arabella couldn't help but ask, she isn't a fool not to know what Zoe did back there."Somethings are worth risking " Zoe force a smile, " and I don't regret it, never will" Arabella nods in understanding, " thank you" she voiced.Zoe Bobs in response, turned and was about to leave when Arabella spoke out" I'm sorry!" She breathes out."You shouldn't be ...And I'm ok with your decision" Zoe didn't want her feeling bad and
People change, desires differ from the usual and the heart yearns for something else, that's what we all are made to believe but then, it seems as though things get to take effect only if we condition our mind to believe in it.It's been two years now but Zoe was still the same, thinking about the same person and her heart keeps yearning without ceasing.She stood before the tall building, lost in thought while staring at the black clouds that sprawl across the sky, billowing in from the east. The air grows heavy and the humidity presses down suffocating everything beneath it. The scent of rain is dark and heady, the stillness falls over the street and in the silence comes a low crackle of thunder rolling across rooftops to the patterning of tiny raindrops.For a moment, everything stops, even the wind holding its breath. A streak of hot silver splits the sky and the downpour begins The weather was as gloomy as how Zoe felt she stood like a statue oblivious of her surroundings and e
