Hold Me Tight (Completed) ✔️

Chapter 27

I closed the book in my hands, reliving all the scenes from it. I completed 'The Vampire Academy' and couldn't help but think of all the events in it.

If I think about it, it kind of reminds me of my life except for the vampire part. The main characters are a student and a teacher just like me and Seokjin except they are in love with each other.

My mind kept on drifting away to various thoughts and possibilities driving me away from my sleep. I tossed and turned in my bed to find a comfortable postion to sleep.

Trying to clear my mind was impossible especially after that shower incident two days ago. I tried to forget it but everytime I see his face it just creeps back in.

He didn't forget it either, I could read it from his eyes. We tried our best to brush past it and not talk about what happened that day to avoid the awkward atmosphere.

Tomorrow I am going to meet Han and Jimin in a restaurant near Jimin's place. I finally told them I have to tell something to them.

Whatever they be thinking they will never be able to guess what I'm going to tell them.

I'm kinda nervous about their reaction towards it. What if they hates me for keeping it from them. Seokjin agreed to meet them back here after I tell them. Only if they want to though.

I took the bus and came earlier than I thought. Near the restaurant there was a small park where most people come for a walk with their dog.

Since they won't be here in another few minutes I decided to just walk by the park. It was nearly the end of January and climate was more walm than usual.

"Eliza." I stopped walking hearing my name being called.

I turned around and saw a familiar face but I don't really remember his name. He was the guy I met at the New year's eve party. The one who asked me for a drink. What was his name again? Nick? Nate?

"Nate?" I decided to try my luck.

"You remember me. I thought you must have forgot." He smiled ruffling his chestnut hair while looking at me.

"Nope, we're in the same class after all." Lie, but it's ok. He's happy, I'm happy, all are happy. I assured myself.

"So what are you doing here?" He asked me eyeing around as if looking for someone.

"My friends will come shortly. I came early, so thought I would just walk around." I told him. "What are you doing here?"

"I come here most often. This place is so peaceful and I like to take a stroll down here."

"Yeah I like it here too. Especially when people come with their puppies." I cooed remembering the pomeranian I saw last time I was here.

"I bring my puppy here too. Maybe next time I can show him to you."

"You have a puppy." I exclaimed. Let's say I really love dogs, although I have never had a pet before. My dad was allergic.

"Yup, Shih Tzu."

"Aww, I love those. What's the name?"

"Ash."

"You shouldn't have told me about the pup. Now I really want to meet him."

"Sure, let's take him together next time. Can I have your phone? So we can exchange numbers." He asked me expectantly.

He seems a really good guy and not a creep like the one I befriended through online. So I guess giving my phone number won't be bad.
