Dreams

Running Into You Part 4- THV

Present time:

I sat alone in the bar like I always did. I sipped my drink. I was dressed up but, this was the first time I felt uneasy. I remembered the month before. 

I shook my head to get rid of the memories and downed my drink. I asked for a refill.

"You seem to be looking for some fun time drinking like that." I looked at the man who sat next to me. "And you're one I am looking for?" I asked. "Yes." "Why's that?" I asked as I sipped my drink not looking at me. "Do you know what my mom told me?" "Follow your dreams?" "Yes how'd you know?" "I don't know I just assumed that after the 15th guy who told me that pick up line, I'll finally have it memorised." I said. "I see you are trying to forget someone." "What do you mean?" I ask. "Only someone who is trying to forget someone will drown themselves in drink after drink like you are." he said. "We're all trying to forget someone." I said. "True. That's why I was wondering why don't we help each other out." He said as he leaned in closer and I looked over meeting his gaze. 

He looked down at my lips and I looked at his. We leaned in. I closed my eyes. "What do you think you're doing?" I heard a voice ask. I looked up to see broad shoulders standing in front of me and blocking the guy from me. "Who are you?" The guy asks. "Her man." the voice answers and I roll my eyes. "What are you doing here Taehyung?" I asked. "Making sure what is mine stays as mine." "I am not yours." "You can think that as much as you like and it will never change the truth." "Okay. I get it. he's him." The guy said. "What?" Taehyung asked. "You're the guy she is trying to forget. You guys go ahead and fight with your heart eyes. I'll go away." He said. "No. don't go." I said and walked away regardless. "Great! I just lost the guy I might have taken up to one of the rooms of this hotel." I said as I sipped my drink.

"What?" He asked as he held my elbow. "What do you do when you're single in a bar? I was here to get laid." I said. He glared at me. I rolled my eyes at him and then turned my head away when I was lifted over his shoulder.

"Let me go!" I exclaimed. He took us to the elevator and everyone was looking at us. I punched his back but, since I was buzzed from the drinks it didn't help my strength. We reached some room and he walked in. Locking the door he let me down after walking into the bedroom." I frowned at him. "What were you thinking?" I asked trying to leave only to get caged against the door of the room. "Getting you laid." He said. I frowned at him. "Forget it. You ruined the mood." I said as I tried to push him away.

He scoffed as I attempted to push him. "Typical." He said. "What?" "Typical Allora Archibald. Run away the minute you can't handle the truth." "The truth?" I ask. "The truth about us." He said. "I don't know what you are talking about." "You are in a bar wearing a dress that no man should ever see you in. It's rightful place is not on your body but, on my bedroom floor and you're wearing my engagement ring around your neck to remind yourself that you there is no one out there beside me for you." I scoffed at him. "Is this how you feed your delusions? Were you hit in the head recently?" I asked. "No I wasn't but you certainly were." "I am in a clear state of mind." "So, you can tell the truth?" He asked.

I sighed and yelled in frustration. "Yah! What is your obsession with the truth and me? Why do want to know it so bad? What is it going to change? What do you want from me?" I asked frustrated. "You and I will always be un-finshed business so I want to hear the truth." "You want to hear the truth before your wedding day after tomorrow?" I asked. "I don't care about that now. I need to the truth after six years." He said. I sighed. He took that as his sign to ask me his first question.

"You may not tell me the truth but, I have given up on lying to you. Right now, right here I don't care about the consequences I need to tell you the truth. I am not okay without you. You can think that I am but, I am not because, you told me that your heart isn't breaking like mine. I can't have you as a stranger with all my secrets. I can't make you a stranger. You can't be no one. You can only be the only one I love. If I had to choose between loving you and breathing, I would use my last breath to tell you I love you." He said. My heart broke. I couldn't hold it in any longer. It hurt me too much. The lies suffocated me too much.
