Drifting Hearts

Chapter19♡‧₊˚Hanging from the Ceiling

Vincent POV

Three months
It's been three months since I last saw the woman i'm obsessed with. She shows up to my office looking more beautiful than I last saw her. Just like that, she came to me.

Then she proceeds to play the role of my wife, in front of the annoying girl I can't even remember her name. That girl never gives up on me I swear.

From the start I avoided eye contact with her. She bites her lip as always and fuck...the way she rolls her eyes.

Like she has been holding it in for months. I fight to keep my composure infront of her. She says she misses me? That moment replays in my head because she misses me?

Lies

She left the office and I let out a rough sigh..her heels clicked and got quieter. I don't want her to think i'm still obsessed...but I am.

And really i'm trying to get over her but it's so damn hard. I've only had eyes for her. She dragged me in like a siren. On top of that her brownie tastes so good.

Now she left me wondering when I would see her again, not that I want to. Loving her would hurt us both. And unfortunately i'm too obsessed to let her get hurt.

I know my mother said I should go for it but I really don't know...after all life goes on anyway..if we are meant to be then so be it.

Perhaps in another life

I left work early and head home. I took a shower and ate dinner. I took the bag of brownies and cinnamon rolls and placed them in the fridge.

I didn't want to throw away the bow..it smelt like her. I wanted to stop obsessing over her..but she's like a drug and instead of the antidote I need another dose.

Her words ran through my head like wildfire. She's trying to mess with me saying this she knows would get to me.

And if that is her intention then it sure as hell is working. Getting a therapist would not help me and solve my problems, and I don't think I can tell someone about her anyway.

I want her for myself

I went to take a swim because water always cools down my mind. When she left I wanted her to stay and I know I keep pushing her away but man.

I was tired...couldn't close my eyes because I would only see her. I didn't want to text her or call her but I want to see her so bad. She has me feeling like she was needed in my daily routine

I wonder what she's doing right now I sighed and looked up to the roof. She better be thinking about me because I refuse i'm the only one like this.

Finally I opened my eyes into another morning, the sun beamed on my skin I yawn and let out a groan. First things first I went on a run, then got my breakfast.

I hit the shower and changed into a suit for work. I stopped by this café near work to get my normal coffee. I'd always stop by there to get coffee so I can be energetic through the day, especially since I always leave hella late.

When I stepped into the shop the strong coffee scent hit my face, it was always calm but lively. People usually stopped by here to study or work.It also smelt like sweets and..and?

Her

Like a moth to a flame. I looked around and didn't see her. Did she see me already? Is she running from me now? I cover my mouth as I laugh.

Once I ordered my coffee I sat down by the window. I spot her car outside which means she's still in here...

I can help but smirk at the fact that she thinks she can escape from me. I sip my coffee as I  check my watch.

It's been a few minutes so I texted her "come stare at me closer" I felt her glare on me the whole time.

At last, her heels clicks towards to me and sat across from me. Ah it as like music to my
ears.
"You know you can't run from me luv"
"I wasn't..running" she avoids eye contact with me.
"do you dream about me?"
"why you want me to?" she smirks
"Of course"

She took a sip of my coffee and made a sour face "bleh" her face caught me by surprise and made me laugh.

"That's why you don't drink random stuff doll"
"I hate dark roast"
"Have you been back to Japan?"
"no but I want to" she sighs
"and why don't you go?"
"my father knows i'm really not working there"
"hm"

"Come by my office later..I want your company and i'm gonna be all alone"
"your scared to be there alone" she starts chuckling
"I don't wanna be lonely"
"do you want something sweet?" she asks me out of curiosity
"If I wanted something sweet I would've tasted your lips luv" I got up from my seat and left a tip.

I went by to my office and started working as usual, it was really busy today but as always i'm the last to leave.

At the blink of an eye the sun was already setting, sleep washed over me as I fought to stay awake. I opened the first few buttons of my shirt and leaned back in my seat.

Maybe I should close my eyes...just for a minute
