That same evening, Bolu had gone into Alex's study to meet him. He looked distracted at first. And when she sat on his laps, he stared at her in a way she couldn't comprehend. Like he was a bit irritated by her.
It hurt.
Having mastered the art of studying people's body movements and expression, when ever she talked about something, so she could know part of what was troubling them.
She had learnt this art several years ago, when she was in high school, and was trying to become a better version of herself, after she had gotten rejected and insulted by the boy she had a great crush on, and had wrote him a letter.
Bolu mentioned Mia, and then watched how his honey brown eyes brightened, at the mention of her name.
Dammit! She cursed under her breath. Feeling the sudden need to strangle something, or someone rather.

Then she pulled away from him.It was odd because they were the only couple on the beach, no human figure was there. Not even Bruce and Benny, his dogs.

Sleep was completely erased off her eyes this time. And she looked active again. "This is the last I'll ask of you tonight. Please, please, please. I want to sing.""Remind me never to go somewhere with you again, after today." Alex replied as he started the car.

He took a step backwards like I was carrying a variation of plagues. On that day, he wasn't in a good mood. Earlier before he had left, he kept pacing back and forth out of frustration, and forking his fingers through his hair repeatedly, as he repeatedly dialed a number on his phone, and slammed it against his ear impatiently.I could still remember what had happened on the previous evening when he had took me out on a date."You know what, Jinsu. Let's order for pizza and wine." I had told him, not raising my head from the menu book. I knew he liked me using his middle name. That was the main reason I had even used it.
