One Summer

TWENTYSEVEN

I don't wanna go to war
I've never felt this way before
Don't you love me anymore
There's no use in running

..
NORA
..

One day he wants me and he's all about me and then the next he becomes distant and he lets...her touch all over him

He confuses me does he want me or does he not and if he does he better start acting like it

Does he even stop for a second and think about how this is making me feel...Does he even care?

He knows how I feel about her and I thought he was respecting it but no...

Why can't he see that she wants him and she would do anything to get him back...I love him...I really do but sometimes this man can be a pain in the ass

I feel pathetic sitting here in my bed...alone...crying over this boy...in the dark

If someone told me three months ago I would be in this situation crying over a boy I would laugh in their face because that's just not me

I never let myself get this vulnerable with anyone, but Iven...he's different he isn't 'just anyone' to me he's so much more, and for him not to see that hurts

I wipe my tears and decide to get some water to calm my nerves but before I could get to my door I hear a light knock on my window and I know exactly who it is

I turn around to face the window and I debate whether I should let him in or not
I decide to let him in "What do you want" I stepped aside to let him get in

"You" I sighed and walked to my bed and he follows behind me

"Were you crying?" He asked with a slight frown on his face "No" I turn my head avoiding eye contact "Come on tell me what's wrong" he asked and tears begin to swell up in my eyes and I couldn't help but let them fall

He grabbed onto my chin and gently stroke my cheek as he wiped my tears away "I'm just having a bad day that's all" I grab onto his wrist push his hand away

"Is there anything I can do to make it better?" he asks and it makes me furious since he is the reason why I'm feeling like this "Yeah you can stop hanging out with Sophia" I replied and took a step away from him

He lets out a sigh "Nora please I'm begging let's not do this" he tries to reach for my hand but I pull away

"You still like her don't you?" I can't help but ask I might be overthinking it, but I don't know why else would he want to still be around her "No I don't like her every time I'm with her you're what's on my mind so don't ever think for a second that I don't love you" he reaches for me again but this time I don't pull away

He brings me into a tight hug "It doesn't feel like that though" I confessed "I'm sorry I made you feel that way I'll try to be better" he kisses the top of my forehead

"Let's start by not ever talking to that girl how about that" I am so irritated "Okay fine" he looks into my eyes and smile "I'll stop talking to her I'll even stop helping her I swear just please don't ever think I don't love you again I'll choose you over her any day even when I'm angry at you and I'm sorry for being so stubborn and stupid" he apologized and he pulled me into a tighter hug

"I love you Nora" When I don't reply he pulls away and begins to place kisses all over my face while tickling my side

I begin to giggle and laugh out loud "I said I love you" he stops and looks me in the eyes

My eyes travel between his blue and brown ones then down at his lips then back up to his eyes and he smirks "I love you Iven" I said with a playful eye roll "Huh??? What??? I couldn't hear you can you repeat that" he jokes "No I cannot" Instead of responding, he tilted his head and cupped my cheek

He looked down at my lips and then kissed me his lips fit mine perfectly he stopped and smiled against my lips after a few seconds we pulled away trying to catch our breaths

My face heats up and I struggle to keep eye contact "Am I making you nervous" he smiles lazily "Shut up I don't like you right now" I look away and he traps me between him and the bed  "Didn't seem like you didn't like me three seconds ago" his tongue poked the inside of his cheek "Shut up" I smiled up at him

"You give me butterflies" he confessed "That came out of nowhere" I laughed and he sat up pulling me on top of him so I'm on his lap with my legs around his waist

A FEW HOURS LATER

"What do your parents do," I asked Iven "My dad is a business owner he owns a few hotels around the world" I nod "That's cool how about your mother" he stopped to think "Now that I think of it I don't know what she does" he lets out a small laugh "How about your dad," he asks "He's a business owner as well but I don't really know what he does I just reconnected with him after him being gone for almost five years" I answered truthfully

"Do you want any kids in the future" I don't know why I asked it just came to mind "Yes, Why are you tryna give me some?" He smirked "Shut up," I said with an eye roll

"Yes, I do want kids how about you?" he asked "Yeah I think I want about two maybe three" I love kids I don't know how people can hate them it's concerning

I get people don't like kids and don't want to have them and that's okay but people that talk about how they hate and want to hurt children weird me out

I sigh out loud "I am tired" I yawn shutting my eyes "Me too" Iven pulled me closer to him

He rests his head on my chest and we fall asleep to the sound of the crickets outside and the beach waves
