" What ? " she asked
" It wasn't me, Mal. That day, I lost my consciousness for the first time. I woke up on your mother's shouting " I said softly
" How ? "
I took a step backward, giving her space to breathe." All that time, you thought it was me who locked you ! "
She looked at her feet as I stepped close to herI cupped her face; she is so soft.
Her skin is like a marshmallow." Mal, Look at me " I said softly
She did" I'm not blaming you or something, because if I were in your place, I was going to do the same. But you know, it was going to be better if you came and began to shout at me that day "
She giggled." Plus, how could I use your phobia against you ? I won't ever do something that could hurt you, not in the past or in near future " I said while stroking her cheeks.
Her eyes began to fill with tears." Save your tears for a reason that deserves crying on, not a stupid misunderstood "
" I'm so sorry, Chad. I treated you like shit " she whispered
" Don't apologize, Mal. "
She warped her arms around my neck, tightly." Of course, I made you feel shitty. I'm really sorry "
I giggled as I hugged her tightly, smelling her scent, which made me crazy." Nah, I just thought I had killed your kitten or something " I joked
She pulled back, but her hands went to rest on my forearms.
My hands are still on her perfect waist." Do you have something to do Tomorrow ? " she asked
" Nope. Why are you asking though ? Are you going to ask me out ? "
She laughed.
God, that laugh." We have already spent a lifetime mad at each other for a misunderstanding, so let's start from the beginning " she said, taking a step back.
" Hii, I'm Maliah O'Brien " she says, holding her hand out.
We shook our hands" Hii, Mal. I'm Chad Miller; of course you know me "
We went to another level, from being enemies to being friends.
I can't predict what the third level will be like when it comes to Mal.
