I Hate That I Loved You!

68- Nostalgia

The next day morning, Francesco woke up feeling warm sun rays on his bed.

Amazed at the fact that he had the best sleep ever had in a long time.

He knew the reason he slept so well last night was that he had Arlette next to him.

He stretched his arms to reach for Arlette, as soon his palm touched the cold bed, panic-stricken, he sat upon his bed in an instant.

The other side of the bed was empty!

He looked around the bedroom and groaned.

He ran his hand across his hair irritated.

He felt disappointed and hurt.

Damn it! She left again!

He fell back on his bed. He didn't do anything wrong with her. Then why she was running away and disappearing on him like this?

So heartless she is!

After yesterday night, they both felt sexual tension, attraction, and passion between them.

How can she leave just like that?

He searched for his phone and found it lying on the floor.

He quickly picked it up and decided to call the lady to give her an earful on leaving like this again. Enough was enough!

As soon as he unlocked his phone, he saw one unread message.

He tapped on it.

[Thanks for taking care of me yesterday. I left early because I have to travel to another city for one important meeting. I will call you later. Take care! From Arlette]

Reading her message, a smile formed on Francesco's face.

All irritation and anger disappeared in an instant.

This was her very first message to him.

So she didn't leave just like that.

She will call later.

She also told him to take care!

Framcesco smiled foolishly.

He quickly typed and sent a response to her.

[Thank you for not ghosting me and disappearing on me again. Waiting for your return. Have a safe trip.]

Francesco read her message again and again.

He whistled happily and walked towards the washroom!

On the other end, Arlette was on her way to the airport.
She heard her phone beeped.

She took out her phone and saw an unread message from Francesco.

She tapped and read his reply.

Her lips curved up. She blushed.

She looked out of the window and felt the ripples of newfound emotions in her heart.

A week flew by:

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have just been cleared to land at the CentralFord airport. Please make sure one last time your seat belt is securely fastened. The flight attendants are currently passing around the cabin to make a final compliance check and pick up any remaining cups and glasses. Thank you."
