"Indeed, I love you

Glances Filled With Nostalgia

Chapter 2

"AAHHHH" I squealed as someone pulled me inside the restroom. And the next moment I felt two hands pushing me towards the sink counter, making me twirl.

"I didn't properly get to say Hi" i heard the person speak, his face inches away from mine. I adjusted my focus to see Joe standing their, his eyes gleaming from the bulb"s light.

He stepped back giving me space to adjust myself, my back throbbing with pain which was caused due to being pushed against the sink.

"What a nice way to say Hi" I said and he chuckled, smiling at the ground.

Damn he hadn't chnaged this habit!

I saw the same ocean blue eyes looking in mine and I felt like I might sink and drown and die inside them but then he clicked his fingers making me blush and feel embarrassed. I saw him seeking glances secretly on me in the entire party, Well I'm not even going to lie but I was definitely attracted towards him.

"You are Taylah Swift right?", he said chuckling, "And you must be Joe, I dont know, uh.... you look like my old best friend", I joked back making both of us laugh.

"Oh My gawd, Taylah I cant believe it! It's been years sinc- since I said good bye to you before y-you left England!!", he said all excited. I was too shocked to say anything, I refused to believe my eyes and ears. I was very joyous at that moment.

I wasn't sure what I was feeling or what i was allowed to feel, so much has changed in these 15 years that i had forgotten that I had a left a bff behind in england, who was right now standing infront of me, taller than before, charming than before and more of a heatthrob than he used to be when we were both young, the boy I had the strongest crush on once, stood before me as a soon to be divorcee.

Before I could get more lost in my thoughts, he pulled me in a tight hug, bringing back all the memories of our childhood when I inhaled his scent, the same way I used to when I'd see him after days.

"Fancy a dinner?", asked joe excitedly, "well I cant really deny you, can I? We both chuckled and went to my favourite restaurant.

"Well you.. eh how are you here? I asked joe while sipping wine. "Well I and Amelia, my wife, well we got married in Britain 2 years ago-", Damn, what was more indigestible, the fact that he got married while I had completely forgotten about his existence or that even despite of being a keeper, he wants his marriage to drift away?! "- well it wasn't a love marriage at all, it was um a kind of forced marriage I'd say, or well it is some kind of a deal, and to be honest, I really dont want to be with her, she'll drive me into insanity but I cant do anything, I cant be free until I get divorced, right?

"Well yeah, what is the problem between you two?" I asked. "Well I'm not sure but I really really doubt that she's been having an illicit affair with someone-" "ah then you should ask her about that, shouldn't you?"

"Well yes, I confronted her but she completely denied and said I should touch some grass" "Oh well, why do you think that she's been having an affair with someone?" I asked him, his expressions changed from being startled to becoming clueless but I guess he wasn't blank.

"I dont know how to say this but well sh-she's always out of the house for months at a time, says she has work and I asked what work she has then she says I'm being too suspicious and says her work has nothing to do with him and tells me to mind my own business, well I give her privacy but she should atleast speak with me-" "She does not speak with you?" I asked raising my eyebrows in suspicion, this case was completely ridiculous, I mean if both of them aren't interested in this marriage then they well as might just end their marriage, before he could answer anything I suggested him to ask her if she wants to end their marriage or not.

"Also what problems do you have with her?" I asked while eating my smoked beef. "Nice question", he joked and I didn't laugh. "So well she is kind of a maniac and also kind of toxic-" "kind of eh?" " Well last time when I saw her, it was last week, she was in the bathroom and a call came on her phone, well so the name saved for that contact was 'babe' and so I asked her about it but she refused to answer me anything and about why she is a maniac, I dont know but something is wrong with her or she is doing something wrong-" " What is wrong?" "Uh well I dont know she seems to be trading something, well maybe doing something illegal" "hmm quite interesting"

"Well Joe by the way what was the deal behind your marriage?", his face drained all its colour, his eyes widened and his lips parted in bewilderment at my question, he wasnt prepared for this question maybe.

"I-"
