Chapter 7 - Part 2

His words 'I love you' were replaying in my head all night that I actually couldn't fall off to sleep. He really said that to me. It might not mean anything to him but it sure does mean a lot to me. Reality check though, I shouldn't get my hopes too high even if he did get his heart broken by Jessica, I could so happily be in Bahrain with them and she could pop out of no where, then have him wrapped around her finger once again. Why am I over thinking this ? I honestly shouldn't even be bothered and just accept things the way they occur.

Besides his 'I love you', I couldn't believe I was taking this step to fly to race weekends and that too I wasn't even the one to come up with this, it was Daniel. Since when did I allow a man to make decisions for me ? You know what... screw these late night thoughts, I'm getting too technical at 3:30 am. Looking at the time, it just hit me that these boys are turning me into an insomniac. Gosh I could really use an island getaway right now, but alone...

I think counting sheep did the trick to help me fall off to sleep. Just kidding. I surprisingly woke up without hearing my alarm go off this morning, checking the time on my phone it was currently 7:10 am. What in the world. A bit late than my usual but it's okay at the same time since I only slept for about 3 and a half hours.

Its strange how our body works, on days that you get the least amount of sleep are when you have the most amount of energy. I practically ran to the bathroom to do my morning routine so I could be at work on time.

I'm in a casual vibe right now so I got dressed in a black muscle T-shirt, a pair of black high waisted pants and a pair of black and white Nike high tops. I brushed my hair into a sleek bun and made my way downstairs. Parents aren't in sight so I'm assuming they're probably already at work or possibly still sleeping.

As wide awake I am right, I feel lifeless or well basically dead inside. I'm in no mood to make myself some breakfast as I'm already running late for work and plus I have to come home early to start packing my bag. I thought I might as well buy myself some coffee on the way before going to work.

I sent a text to my mum to let her know about my whereabouts before driving off to the coffee shop not far from home. The coffee shop immediately bringing back memories from my encounter with Hero. God forbid that I bump into this man first thing in the morning, I'm already exhausted and don't have the energy to talk to someone I'm not fond of.

I slipped on my sunglasses, just in case, as I walked into the coffee shop and to the till. I gave the server my order, then proceeded to wait patiently before my name was called. Grabbing my drink, I kept my head low to avoid seeing any familiar faces as I made my way out. Just then I bumped into a hard chest and spilt my coffee. Oh my word.

"What the f- watch where you're going" I heard as I then looked up to see who the voice belonged to. You gotta be kidding me. "What the hell. Are you following me ?" I yelled as I removed my sunglasses and placed it on my head. There goes more than half of my cold coffee spilt all over his white shirt and my black pants. "What ? No ! You should know by now that I come here almost every morning before going to work" Hero said as he untucked his shirt from his pants. "Surely if I knew that then I wouldn't be here ! I was hoping- actually praying you weren't here. I swear you're bad luck whenever you're around me !" I said as I stormed off to throw away my coffee and walked towards my car.

"Hey hey... let me buy you another iced coffee" he offered as he tried to catch up to me. "No thanks. I'm good" I said bluntly and continued walking. "Well are you not going to apologise ?" He asked as he stopped behind my car as I was about to open the door. "Apologise ? Even though it was unintentional...you deserved it" I said lastly before jumping into the car.
