How I wish time would stop

Chapter 5

5 days left...

Xylde hugged my waist as we hum songs and stared at the sky.

The night sky was beautiful, the stars was shining so brightly.

I looked at him and smiled.

He did the same.

"I am so lucky to be able to meet you."

He grinned.

"Strange of you to say these words, but I like it, you should say it more often."

I chuckled and said,

"Guess I should."

He chuckled and said, "Good."

I turn to the beach as I bite my lip, trying not to cry.

I used this excuse so that I could say sweet nothings to him more often, without him suspecting.

"Want to go back now? It's getting pretty late."

"Wait..." I said taking out my phone, snapping a picture of us with the beautiful beach.

"Now, let's go."

We held hands and went to the car.

He put his hand on my lap as he uses the other hand to drive.

It always makes my heart flutter.

He helps me open the car door and hold out his hand and politely says
"Princess."

I took his hand, wondering how he always makes my heart melt.

I was showering before I saw Xylde looking at the photo album.

Shit.

How could I have forgotten to keep the photo album?

Did he read what I wrote? Does he know my timespan? Most importantly, will he hate me for lying?

I snatched the photo album he was holding.

"Did you read what I wrote?" I interrogated him.

"No." Xylde said looking at me, questioning my act.

I knew him long enough to know he wasn't lying.

"I haven't finished yet..." I said trying to act embarrassed.

He giggled.

"You look so cute, embarrassed you know?"

I knew he bought the act.

"You could ask me to help you out."

I look at Xylde, shaking my head and signalling him to go shower.

"Okay okay, I cannot wait to see the final product."

Once the door shut, I was panting for air. I was so scared if he would find out.

"Xylde..I'm sorry..for lying yet again.."

I quickly took the photo album and kept it in locked drawer, where only I had the key.
