Pit Stops (Book I-F1 Series)

Chapter Forty Seven

After the kiss, there was silence between us. Our eyes locked to each other as we both know that we feel the same way about each other. The silence was powerful yet full of emotions, but it was only broken by a phone call from Alex, pulling us back to the reality that he is with someone, and it only broke my heart even more.

"I should better sleep." I quickly pulled the shoe from his hand and placed it back in the luggage before zippering it close. I can feel my hands and body shaking from what had just happened. It never should've happened. Why did I even forget that he have a girlfriend?

"Anne." He called out as I stumbled on my feet I went out of his room to the guest room and locked the door behind me, his phone still ringing.

I stood there trying to catch my breath as I fell on my knees, tears flowing from my eyes as I felt my heart break again. This is even more painful than breaking up with Mick, maybe because this feeling was bottled up for years and kept hidden away, but when it hit cloud nine it suddenly crashed back to earth.

"Anne, please let's talk about this. Anne." Charles called out as he knocked on the door. "Anne please." He pleaded multiple times but I just ignored him.

The pain that I felt in my knees as I hit the floor is just a little one compared to the deafening silence of my heart crumbling to pieces every time he knocks on the door pleading for me to go out but I just ignored him.

I don't know how long I was kneeling on the floor crying my heart out, I just cried until there were no tears for me to cry. I pulled myself up as I leaned on the door listening if he is still there, but there is silence. Maybe that's better, maybe things are just better left unsaid.

I didn't even sleep, I just sat there on the bed, thinking about what happened, thinking about what will happen to us. Thinking about all the memories we had, what will happen between us now?

As the morning came I finally have the urge to get up, but when I opened the door I saw him sprawled out on the floor sleeping in front of me, there everything came down again. Why do you have to do this Charles?

"Anne?" He groaned as he saw me standing up at the door in front of him.

"Don't, Charles." I stopped him because I don't want to talk about what happened. After all, if we'll do it, I will break down and cry again. "Just take me home."

He stood up and he looked at me, he was about to speak when I shook my head no. He just sighed and went to his room, and when he went out he grabbed his keys on the counter as we both went out of his apartment in silence.

As he parked his car on the driveway of my house, there was an unbearable silence between us. We both wanted to talk about what happened last night but no words just came out. A kiss that broke down walls that I'd built trying to protect my heart from loving my best friend.

"Thank you." I just said to Charles before I went out of his car, I was still dead silent when Marck helped me with my things from Charles' car. He tried to ask me what happened but Charles cut him off by pulling my brother to the side to talk to him as I pulled everything that I own to the house.

"Anne!" My mood suddenly changed when I see Collette smiling as he saw me struggling with my luggage, I smiled as I dropped everything before running to her. Her aura suddenly made my sulking turn to happiness when I felt her baby bump.

"Gio is growing too fast!" I smiled as I kneeled and placed my hand on her bump. "I already love you, baby." I cooed and Collette laughed as he pulled me up.

"He is growing too fast, and that's why I need to ask a huge favor to you." She said as she pulled me to the couch, sitting in front of each other. "I need you to be with your brother in Australia."
