But I still have to find him and he is simply impossible to find. Fate is really working against me! I ask some of the students if they have seen him but the answer is no. Then I go back to the room that maybe I shouldn't have left so quickly. But he is still not there. He can't have vanished like that. I mean...unless my reaction really hurt him. Seriously?! You can mock it all you want with your conscience. I already know it was a little...excessive. But I'm not going to apologize for it.
I just want to clear up the misunderstanding about the money and get out of here. Once he confirms that he had nothing to do with it, I'll leave. That's it, it's that simple. Of course...what could be holding me back? I don't know...maybe a look as hot as an ember.
The moment my phone rings.
Angel
Library. I'm waiting for you.
You're screwed! I have nothing to be scared of. I've already told him I won't be his submissive anymore. He can't do anything to me. And I'm not afraid of him. Sure....But how does he know I'm looking for him? Is he watching me now? That's all I need, really! It wouldn't be a bad idea to watch you though. Wouldn't it? And why is that? With all the bullshit you've been doing. Better and better... Is it a joke?
I don't need to be watched. When are you going to understand that? I've made it on my own so far and it's not too bad. I haven't recovered, but at least I'm alive. Isn't that the most important thing? You'd feel better if you told him everything. You can't keep everything to yourself. Why should I trust him? I don't know him that well....this angel. Besides...
Where was he when I was crying every night, wrapped up in my sheets? Where was he when I was taking endless showers, until I couldn't smell his perfume on my body. Which, of course, never happened! Angel wasn't there when I was screaming my lungs out. No, he was living his quiet life when my heart was bleeding. I didn't wait for him to forget about it and move on, because it was the right thing to do. If you say so...
If my own family didn't take the time to listen to me or believe me, a complete stranger won't. No matter how beautiful he looks. He's just like everyone else, deep down. He just wanted something from me. Except that he at least had the honesty to tell me earlier. I'll try to remember that. But for now I have to concentrate on my task.
So I go to the library. Of course, there is a leaden silence. Good, there are enough noises in my head. I don't linger on the shelves full of books that I could devour with my eyes for hours. Stay focused! I don't work in a bookstore for nothing. I am obsessed with books. They soothe me like nothing else on earth. They comfort me and take me away with them in a sweet dream.
Kind of like when Angel hugs me. I feel like time stops and gives me a few seconds of well-deserved peace. Maybe that's why I'm so attracted to him. And when he smiles...I lose it. But I don't have to let myself be charmed. I know why I'm in this library. I mustn't forget him! I talk to him quickly and leave.
