I walked through the gate and across the wide lawn of beautiful plant boxes with beautifully decorated flowers and other plants.

Getting inside, Mr. Harrison and Zach is on the couch; talking with with Jaken. I sighed. I don't want to talk to him at the moment but I'm sure as hell it's inevitable. If only I could put some packing tapes on their mouths, then I would do it so that they won't force me to be with him.

Simply walking to the staircase, someone followed me and I internally groaned in annoyance.

"For avoiding me for some days, you sure are arrogant to come up to me" I angrily snapped at him under my breath. Hearing his breath hitch gave me satisfaction but he didn't react more.

Getting in my room, I dumped my bag in my study table before going to the bathroom to change into my inside clothes without changing my pants.

Going out, I didn't see him in my actual room but when I headed to my living room, I found him on the couch staring absently in my huge TV.

I sighed. "There's practice later for a play we will perform soon for the principal. It's the story of Romeo and Juliet. We should be there at six" I informed him while I turned the TV on and flopped at the other side of the couch.

It's still 5:00 so we still have time. I looked at him. I'm getting freaked out by him so silent only to see him intensely staring at me already.

A soft gasp escaped my lips and his eyes dropped to them.

Before I know it, I was pulled to him and he buried his face in the crook of my neck. His hot breath is fanning my neck and I shivered.

Desire suddenly filled my stomach and I squirmed uncomfortably. I have never been held in such a position and it's so new to me. I'm fucking freaking out! My heart is beating so loud but I don't think it's from its craziness but from...fear.

"You don't know how it is to be away from you. You don't know how terrifying it is, missing someone...and that someone is you" he murmured in my neck and I swear my heart skipped a beat. His voice held so much sincerity and longing that it took me off guard with him opening up to me. Him, of all people.

"Why did you do it anyway in the first place?" I question him softly and I felt him carresing my waist; which the top unknowingly rode up.

"That's because... I was..af-I thought you would want to have some space. And I know you can't have that if I'm around" he hesitates in his words and I feel like he was so close in telling something he shouldn't.

I sighed. I should snap at him, throw a tantrum to him but...no. I didn't. I feel as if my heart is so soft to him. Oh, heart! You're really crazy!

I just slowly pull myself away from him but he held me tighter to him. "Just let me hold you...just for a while, please" he said and his voice is so vulnerable. I wonder what happened to make him like this.

Whatever happened, it should just be left unsaid. Hopefully someday, he'll open up completely...whoa there! Since when did I care for this jackass?!
