Right Where You Left Me ✔

Chapter 23: Out Of The Woods.

Kai

Meeting each other... it was so beautifully planned, and I never realized that it had been the greatest plan ever being made for me. I made some journey all alone. But when you tried prying into my journey like that rebel you are, I fall into defeat. Not because I'm not willing to put up a fight against you but because I feel you're the change I needed.

Falling in love with each other... those time when I can't decide if I hate you or I like you. I come to be so annoyed with you when we first met - your rascal attitude made me not just annoyed by your presence but came to be obsessed with you. With the way you gave your attention towards me, I didn't understand that. I thought I hated that. But it came to know that I was falling into so many holes of loving you that it came to be a permanent fall.

 Growing up together.... time flies, and it is as magical but nonetheless very much sceptical. In times when I hate, I felt insecure and anxious about our relationship, you'd seem to come to make me feel that if a boulder came into our way... you'd lead me to dodge the obstacle and make it all better again. Growing up to learn that you'd be there for me, and I'd be there for you. Knowing each other and wear each other's initial like it's the trophy of our hearts.

I spent these past years like that. What about you?

I have been thinking... while sitting in the kitchen - my fingers tapping onto the marble counter table. I have been thinking about telling Stan the truth about our relationship. The whole truth. It was a stupid intention of mine to keep him here for too long. He needs to go back, and I need to move on. All I knew is the memories of him are haunting me, and it will still after. 

The heart that I would be breaking the most would be my own.

Sounds of the door opening and closing indicate the return of the man I have been waiting for more than hours. I skipped work even if it would cost me my whole career. But fuck that. 

He walks inside with some plastic bags in his hands - some vegetables and raw meat in plastic wrappings can be seen through them. He said he would cook for us tonight... and it was around four in the evening. I can't bear to look at his happy smile when he comes into the kitchen then smile even more when he saw me sitting there with my hand covering my mouth.

"Kai? You're back early," He grinned, putting the grocery bags onto the counter table. My legs began to move up and down quickly - agitated but at the same time scared. "Yeah... had some few works at the office...," I lied, standing up to lean beside the counter.

"Yeah? Well then, I better get cooking then. Wanna help?" He offered, putting out the items he bought.

I can't hold this much longer.

Ignoring his question... I began with a grave face. "Stan... I have something to tell you," When my words pierced into his ears, he stops what he was doing and turns to me with a waiting and surprised look.
