Chapter Twenty-Two.

"You Are In Love"

"You're that hungry?" I taunted when our orders arrived. Eleanor ordered almost all of the dishes given from the restaurant's menu. I can't help but to smirk when I saw a hint of irritation from her.

"Why can't you just be thankful?" She scoffed before rolling her eyes. I can only smirk as I started to eat in silence.

While eating, I can't help but recall my weird, restless thoughts. It amazed me how my life changed in the span of a few months being with Eleanor. And yet again, I thought of that possibility.

What if I am in love with her?

Of course, I'm physically attracted to Eleanor―she's beautiful and all that. I bet all guys can be attracted to her too. She's smart and witty, as well. She never ceases to amaze me.

And I am concerned for her―even when she's a pain in the ass. They say that concern is a sign of love, that is according to Psychologists. That can be a reason enough.

And also for some reason, I get all envious and possessive whenever I see any male specie eyeing her from afar.

Then fuck this shit.

I can fool anyone by being a hypocrite but I can't fool myself.

I want Eleanor.

I want Eleanor for myself.

I want her to stop from her socializing ways: from going to different parties and being extra friendly to anyone.

But are those enough reasons to consider that I am in love with her?

What if I was just challenged by the idea of 'taming' a girl like her? What if I can't commit myself because I still have serious trust issues?

The concept of love is wide and heavy. There comes trust, commitment, understanding and all that bullshit. When you will yourself to love someone, then you should as well be ready for pain. I have experienced love twice and they didn't end up well.
