Look At Me (Completed)

CHAPTER 16: Let's make 'US' possible

GUILA's POV

Why is he acting like that? He's so moody. In the car, he's so silent. He's really weird but this is better. Anyway, after the ball we headed to the airport and a private plane is waiting for us. He's really acting cold towards me. I admit, I am bothered, why?

I want to ask him but I think I need more courage. We're now inside the plane to Berlin, Germany. His silence is really deafening. I am sitting and I am still disturbed by his stillness. I peeked at him to finally ask him but he's already sleeping.

After few hours, we landed in Berlin. I woke him up.

He flutters his eyes asking, "Why?"

"We're now in Berlin," I said.

"Oh," he gets up and ignored me again. He went on his way down to the car without looking back at me. Did I do something wrong? I hopped in the car and he's still quiet. I really can't stand this bullsh*t serenity.

"Hey, is there any problem? You seem so quiet," I blurt out.

"This is what you like, right?"

"No, this makes me feel so agitated. You're not the usual you."

"I don't know too what's wrong in me. I feel deranged."

"Deranged?"

"I don't know. Just... I need peace so stop asking me."

"O..kay." I just shut my mouth and the long travel time was so quiet. It's not that long really but it feels like a long one. At exactly 3:30AM we arrived at Grand Hotel Esplanade. We checked in and finally we reached our rooms. I am now in a suite, lying on the big bed and still thinking about Mark Louis. "No, Guila you should stop thinking about him. Just sleep."

MARK's POV

I think I like her and I am tired of lying to myself. She's easy to love. I want to confess but I am thinking about Cassie. She loves me dearly and she doesn't deserve to be hurt. I'm just going to sleep, I'm so fully stressed out with this mixed feelings.

Morning...

I woke up at seven and called on the phone for my breakfast to be served in my room. I was harsh last night to Guila and now I am feeling guilty. Should I apologize? Maybe, yes. Should I confess? NO. I will keep this as much as I can, even if it's hard. Okay, I'll just be the usual naughty Mark Louis Carter today and forget this feeling. Work, work, work. We're just friends, friends, friends.

While waiting for the breakfast to be served, I researched through my phone for some good place to visit here in Germany. After eleven in the morning, we're free and I think I need to enjoy myself to divert my attention. Our next flight will be at 6AM tomorrow so I have long time to have some blissful sightseeing.

After having a breakfast, I took a long bath and wore a white polo and jeans.

When I went out of my room, it was also the exact time when Guila went out of her room. She's wearing a white blouse and skinny white slacks, again she looks superb. Woah, she's wearing the necklace I gave to her. I smiled and greeted her a happy morning.

"Change of mood now?" she asked confused.

"I'm sorry about my treatment to you last night. I was in terrible bad mood."

"Let's forget about that."

We're now walking our way to the elevator.

"Did you sleep well?" I asked.

"Three hours sleep is not enough."

"But how come you don't have puffy eyes?"

"Genes."
