"I'm sorry," I say quickly, feeling a lump forming in my throat."Where did you go?" he growls, crossing his arms across his chest."To visit mom," I reply, avoiding his gaze.Without another word, he starts to walk away. As soon as he gets out of my sight, I begin to run as fast as I can towards my bedroom. Once I enter, I shut the door behind me and lean against it. My knees start to buckle as I slide down the door until I sit on the carpet. Tears threaten to fall down my face, but I refuse to cry.I know that he doesn't mean it. All he did was yell at me in anger. Why would he still hold a grudge against me after everything we've gone through? Even though he said that he loves me, the way he said those words made me feel so guilty. He hates me. But I still want him to stay. After what happened last night, I understand completely what it means to be a woman. If there is one thing I hate the most, it's being treated like I'm fragile or weaker than a piece of glass. However, I als
We pull apart momentarily and catch our breath. His fingers entwine themselves in my hair and gently caress my scalp as he stares down at me. Our chests are touching, my legs pressed tightly against his. He places his free hand on the side of my face and brings it back towards him. Our lips connect again, and this time they move against one another without hesitation. The passion between us becomes even stronger. The sound of our breathing mingles together and our bodies become entangled in each other.Suddenly, I feel him push me away roughly as I gasp for air. I can't believe that he pushed me away. Before I can say anything, he runs out of the kitchen and rushes upstairs. I stand there in shock, staring up at the staircase. The pain in my heart causes me to feel extremely hurt. As I turn around to exit the kitchen, I see my mother looking at me curiously. Her face shows concern as she examines my expression."Ezra's really angry at you aren't he?" she asks softly, "He looks real
After calming myself down, I nod my head in agreement and smile weakly at him. Ezra continues to wipe my tears away with his thumb as we continue to ride our bikes. After a few minutes of comfortable silence, I break it, asking, "What happened between us? Why did you push me away?""I didn't mean to push you away," he replies quietly."Then why did you?" I question.Ezra remains silent. Finally after a few seconds of uncomfortable silence, he sighs deeply and answers my question, "It's because I realized that I have feelings for you."My heart flutters at those words. They are the exact words that I wanted to hear. However, I can't help but be slightly nervous because deep down inside of me, I know that things will never work out between us. Ezra deserves someone better. Someone who will treat him right and who will make sure he's happy. I'm nothing compared to that. But then again, I don't think that I would want anyone else either."Do you...do you still love me?" I ask cautiously
"Good!" I exclaim excitedly, "That means that it' s almost time for your test, right?""Yeah, that's right," Ezra replies, grabbing the remote control and turning off the television, "Let's go."We both stand up from the couch, and Ezra grabs my hand before leading me to the test room. He opens the door to reveal a giant white plastic tube with wires attached to it."Okay, so there's a needle right here," Ezra says pointing at the tube, "I need you to insert the needle right into the small hole at the end. Then you have to squeeze the trigger twice, and wait one minute before you can remove it.""I guess it doesn't seem too difficult," I remark sarcastically, "I've handled needles and needles loads of times. Do I really need to squeeze that many times?""Just do what I say, Alessia," Ezra tells me seriously, "Or else.""Or else what?" I ask curiously, raising my eyebrows at him, "Will you do that to me?""Only if you make me," Ezra smirks, causing me to laugh lightly at his statement.
I just hope that my feelings for Ezra are not wrong but maybe it really was just a dream and I will wake up and he would be nowhere near me.We both stayed like this for awhile until Ezra started moving around and woke up completely.He looked at me and asked if I was ok."You were holding me tightly during your sleep. Are you OK?" He said with concern."Y-Yes, I just feel like something bad will happen.""Is something wrong? Did something happens?""No, nothing happened.""Then why are you looking so nervous?""I am not sure.. But I think I should go back to my own bed and pretend I am fine.""Don't worry about it. It's alright. I am sorry that I made you feel uncomfortable.""It's ok. Thank you for everything.""You are welcome."When I left his room I immediately went downstairs and grab some chocolate bars and a cup of coffee.There is another person who doesn't seem to be enjoying the morning."Alessia, are you alright babe?" Ezra looks so worried about me, this really makes me s
Since I know that Ezra will come back in the afternoon then I decide to wear one of Ezra's shirts instead of mine.I know he doesn't mind but he will definitely get angry if he sees me wearing one of his t-shirts.I also thought about picking up some clothes for myself but I'm not sure if it will be okay for me to wear Ezra's shirt so I decided to keep it for tonight.After taking a shower and changing into some different clothes, I headed straight to the living room where I found Ezra waiting for me.He has a smile on his face and he looks pretty pleased with himself."How did you do that?" He asks me."Did what?""Fix your house by yourself, you were working for five hours! Don't worry about it, I know you are smart and capable to do something like that, you always make me proud, Alessia!"I blush slightly seeing him complimenting me, I love being his girlfriend but sometimes I wonder if he is just using me to distract himself from something serious."Thank you. I guess I should sta
"Alessia, could you go upstairs for me? I need to talk to Ezra." She whispered while pointing to Ezra."Ok, I'll be right there." I gave Ezra a small smile before getting up from my chair and walking towards the staircase.I reached the top of the stairs and stood outside the bedroom door listening to their conversation."Mom, I told you that we can talk here and there. Is everything alright? Do you need anything from me?""Ezra, I'm sorry but I have to talk to you alone. Please excuse me." My mother said while she looked down sadly."Alright, I'll be going to the study then. Call me if you need anything." Ezra said before leaving the kitchen.When I heard his footsteps walking down the stairs, I knocked on the door and entered the room."Hey, Mom.""Hi, baby girl. How are you?""I'm fine, how are you?""Well... It's hard. I mean you guys are moving away from home and I don't know where you're going. I've been trying to understand what happened between you and Ezra but all I know is t
"I'm hungry and you mentioned that you were starving earlier." I said smirking while looking into his eyes."Oh yeah, well what would you like to eat?""Well I'am pretty hungry so I was thinking that we should eat outside somewhere and I'd like to walk around for a bit.""Sure, let's go." He nodded and got up from the sofa.I picked up my shoes and put them on before following Ezra out the front door. "Wait, do you want to carry anything?""Oh yeah, you'll have to hold on to me.""That's fine. Don't worry, I got you."We then started walking towards the city center."Do you want to grab breakfast afterwards or do you want to continue exploring?""I want to explore. What about you?""How about lunch first. Then we can go wherever you want. Whatever you like.""Hmm... I think that that sounds perfect. Lead the way!"We walked through the streets for a couple of minutes before arriving at a cafe with a menu in the window."There's this one place that I wanted to try. If you're not feeli
