You're losing Me

7 🌷

Author Pov :

Aleena's eyes widened, and a heavy silence hung in the air as the weight of Alex's words settled on her.

"I... I didn't expect you to say that," she stammered, searching for the right words to respond to Alex's revelation.
His gaze softened with a touch of remorse, realizing the impact of his words on Aleena.

A twinge of regret surfaced in his eyes, prompting him to quickly regain his composure. With a faint, apologetic smile, he leaned in and whispered, "Idiot, I was joking." Aleena's initial shock transformed into a mixture of relief and amusement. She couldn't help but playfully jab him in the arm, realizing that his words had been a well-crafted tease. The tension dissipated, leaving behind a lighthearted atmosphere as they shared a moment of laughter.

Aleena, caught up in the playful banter, failed to discern the hidden emotions in Alex's eyes. Oblivious to any underlying sadness or love, she responded with a light-hearted laugh, assuming his words were solely meant in jest. The subtleties of his expression remained unnoticed in the moment, leaving the true depth of Alex's feelings concealed for now.

"Maybe she will understand me someday," contemplating whether there would be an opportune moment to unveil the genuine sentiments hidden behind his playful words.

Upon reaching her house, Aleena bid Alex a casual goodbye, unaware of the subtle complexities in his emotions.

Aleena: Well, it was nice catching up. See you around, Alex!

Alex, with a faint smile said : Yeah, see you.

Aleena begins to close the door, and Alex hesitates.

Alex: You know, I was joking earlier, right?

Aleena, chucklingly said : Yeah, I got that. Why?

Alex, looking into her eyes : Just wondering if one day you'll understand the real punchline.

Aleena, puzzled, raises an eyebrow.

Aleena: What do you mean?

Alex, cryptically: Guess time will tell. Take care, Aleena.

He walks away, leaving Aleena with a curious expression and unanswered questions.

Aleena, grappling with her own reservations, never intended for Alex to fall in love with her. Yet, as she observed the genuine emotions in his eyes, she realized it was too late to avoid the inevitable. The unspoken connection had already woven its threads, leaving her to navigate the complexities of emotions that now lingered between them.

In a peculiar twist of fate, Aleena found herself drawing parallels to a past encounter with Warner. She couldn't help but recognize a similar pattern - an unintended emotional connection that unfolded despite her initial intentions. The echoes of history added a layer of complexity to her current situation, prompting Aleena to reflect on the unpredictable nature of relationships and the unexpected turns they take.

Next day, Warner watched intently as Aleena struggled to reach a book on the shelf. Sensing her difficulty, he subtly reached out from behind, his fingertips brushing against hers, creating a momentary yet charged tension in the quiet library air. Their eyes met, acknowledging the unspoken connection that seemed to deepen with every shared moment.

Aleena stood there, the touch of Warner's hand lingering in the air. A rosy blush painted her cheeks as she met his gaze, a silent acknowledgment. She started to scream in her mind.

Warner, his deep voice carrying a hint of intimacy, spoke near Aleena's ear, "You know, some stories begin with a touch. Ours seems to be one of them." The words hung in the air, adding a layer of warmth to the library's quiet ambiance.

With a smirk that hinted at both confidence and playfulness, Warner left Aleena standing in the library, with rosy hue on her cheeks. Everyone can mistook her as red tomato.

Aleena, smiling to herself: "Well, that was unexpected. Library adventures just got a lot more interesting."

Aleena quietly approached where Warner was sitting, taking a seat beside him. Silently, she observed him, a subtle smile playing on her lips.

Warner, breaking the silence with a soft tone: "Enjoying the view, love?"

Aleena, caught off guard, looked at him with a playful glint in her eyes.

Aleena, unable to resist the playful banter: "Well, can you blame me? The view seems to be getting better by the day."

Warner, surprised by her sassy tone, chuckled and raised an eyebrow.

Warner: "Looks like I've underestimated your sense of humor, darling. I like it."

"Why do you call me, darling ?"

Warner, with a playful grin: "Darling, it's my endearing way of acknowledging how special you are. Does it bother you, my dear?"

Aleena, shocked: "Wait, we're not even dating, and you're already calling me darling? What's going on, Warner?"

Warner, with a sheepish smile: "Guess I got a bit ahead of myself there. My apologies, darling. It's just... well, you have a way of making me feel like we're already in that chapter."

Aleena, intrigued but still taken aback, raised an eyebrow.

Aleena: "In which chapter, Warner?"

Warner, with a twinkle in his eye: "The one where two people discover something special and the story starts to write itself. But if it's too soon for you, we can go at your pace, no rush."

Aleena, feeling a mix of surprise and warmth, smiled at Warner's response.

Aleena: "Well, I suppose I can let you keep experimenting with those endearing nicknames, but let's not fast-track to the last chapter just yet."

Warner, leaning in with a playful glint: "Deal, darling. We'll let the story unfold at its own pace."

Warner, his gaze filled with a mix of anticipation and respect, asked, "Aleena, can I kiss you already?"

(⁠｡⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠｡⁠)

As Aleena smiled, the weight of her past and painful memories found their way onto the pages of her diary. Silent tears traced the lines of her face as she poured out the emotions, creating a poignant narrative that captured the essence of healing and resilience.

At some part of the world, Warner found himself missing Aleena, a subtle smile playing on his lips as memories of their shared moments lingered in his thoughts. The distance only intensified the bittersweet longing, emphasizing the vastness of the world that separated them.

Warner, sighing softly: "Even miles apart, your absence feels too close. Missing you is a silent ache that only our shared memories seem to soothe."
