Two years after Kate Dixon finished high school,she had been living with so much emptiness in her heart,even while in college.
And it all started when her first love,Dexter Miles suddenly left for Canada when they were in high school. It had been th...

Kate watched how awkwardly Dexter had scooted over to the other end of her single bed."You can just at least move closer. I'm not going to eat you up". She said to his back.The space between them was little,and so was the urge to push him that away.
Dexter turned a little to look at her,"I thought you'd want your personal space". He reasoned.
"Since when did you start caring about my personal space?" Kate had blurted out before realising what she had said,Dexter kept silent because what she said was true. He stared at her blankly which made her heart skipped a beat__for some reason. "Well,just do whatever makes you comfortable". She added nonchalantly and turned her back against him,pulling her blanket over herself securely.
Dexter quietly turned too and for once,he actually felt uncomfortable. He had never imagined sleeping on a bed with Kate with their backs turned against each other. This was not even what he had in mind when he entered her apartment__sleeping on the couch could have been better. This felt like torture.
Kate exhaled silently as she could feel her pulse running through her whole body. She screwed her eyes shut and gripped the bed sheets tightly,she couldn't stop herself from thinking about how intimate and sometimes inseparable they once were two years ago....
"....That was epic,I loved it". Kate had commented on the movie she just concluded with Dexter.
"I knew you'd like it". Dexter said as his fingers rushed over the keys of his laptop,leaning back against the headboard of his giant bed. "Wanna watch another movie? This one might be a little horror".
Kate tucked her hair behind her ear,"Um__",She looked at her wristwatch and instantly gasped,"Oh my gosh, it's late. I have to go",With a little sign of panic,she took her phone and school bag on Dexter's bed and got down from his bed to put on her shoes. "My brother's gonna kill me".
Dexter rolled his eyes at her unnecessary anxiety. "Relax. You said it yourself that he might not be back today". He also got off his bed to follow Kate to the door.
"What if he actually comes?" Kate turned abruptly to look at Dexter. "And if he finds out that I'm with you..."
"He'd worry less". Dexter smiled and Kate feigned a serious look. "Come on,Katrina. Can't you just sleep over?" He then pouted.
"You can't be serious",Kate ignored his cute attempt and turned to open the door,wearing her bag over her shoulder.
Dexter was quick to hold the doorknob before her,"I never planned to release you tonight. Your brother will have to deal with me later",Kate turned again to see a cheeky smile on his face.
"Oh seriously,Dexter. I really have to go",Kate said through slight chuckles,almost whining.
"I can't believe you actually want to leave me alone in this big house". Dexter sneaked his arms around her waist and her feet shuffled slightly on the floor as he pulled her closer.
