This boy next to my room

43

Connor

I'll never know what would have happened if the door hadn't opened, abruptly breaking our contact and making her jump back to the foot of her bed.

And God knows how much I want to kill whoever just ruined that moment.

Fucking Tyler.

He stares at her, like he owns her. Obviously, he didn't burn what we were doing.

Too bad.

"June... Are you coming?" He says still without removing those dirty Brazilian eyes in love with her. I let out a silent sigh before shifting mine to June.

She doesn't look at him.

It's the ground that she looks at.

I hold back a smile, I don't even know why.

But when she lifts her ass off the ground to join him, it's more my angriness that I hold back.

...

"I really do have the worst person in my room... Dani!" Rages Cynthia.

I'm posed on a bench, in the terrace of the boat. It is warm and the weather is ideal for a cruise that lasted about 2 weeks. The only problem now is Cynthia, she doesn't stop following me like a dog since the beginning of the trip. It's probably because her friends are not there.

To tell you the truth, I'm complaining, but I don't really mind that much because I don't hang out with Tyler anymore since he's so busy hitting on June.

"Who do you have?" This one asks bringing me out of my thoughts.

"June." I answer as i turn my gaze towards her, i can see her face tense with disappointment.

"Connor... I've had something to ask you for a long time but I haven't found the opportunity to do it, so I think this is the perfect time." She begins hesitantly. "Do you think we would be possible ? Not necessarily now because i know you're not ready, but later ? You're not planning on staying single your whole life ?"

My conscience pushes me to put Cynthia in her place by telling her that it will never be possible, but for the first time since the death of my ex, I take the time to consider her question.

Her eyes stare at me as if they already know my answer, but my words don't come out. I just stare back at her.

"You're not going to stay stuck in the past indefinitely, are you ? You don't have to answer now, but I'd like you to think about it. Fucking with you is cool but when the feelings come up it gets hard." She sighs.

I frown.

"Do you have feelings for me Cynthia ?" I ask curtly.

"I didn't want to admit it to myself at first. But I realized it when my heart broke when you said the name of.. June during sex."

I knew it.
