To Feel Something Real

Chapter 14

Gabriel

What did I ever do wrong to this girl?

The thought haunted me the whole time we were sitting in the library discussing our project. she was sitting opposite of me in the table so i can clearly see her face unlike Zoya's who is sitting beside my brother who is sitting beside me.

At last, it was decided that we would make a quick structure of family with a little child in between. There would be no emotion to the child's face, while the elders around him will have huge smiles on them.

The idea reminds me so much of her that I almost think that she is with me, somewhere around to remind me of what I've lost and what evil thing I did to her.

"Gosh, I feel sleepy. How about we do the rest of the discussion tomorrow and just go to sleep now?" Zoya says, waving her hand on her mouth to stifle her yawns.

Olivia puts her hands down on the table and stands up, "We can not delay this more, we need to complete the discussion of details now so we can't get the materials tomorrow-" She looks at Zoya- "and for I'm going to bring coffee."

It's just 10 pm right now but the intense discussion is making me sleepy too, so I ask Olivia to bring two more coffees for me and my brother, and for the first time since I met her the hate in eyes dimmed a little and she responded with a nod. Well, it's something, but still it sowed a little seed of hope in me to know why the hell she hates me.

My brother has his sketchbook open as he sketches away the model and beside him Zoya peers from his shoulder due to her height, but by mistake, her chin hit his arm, resulting her to release a series of sorry, he replied with a small  ' it's okay '.

Okayy I'm done with this shit.

I walk towards the small cafe in our library where Olivia is making her second coffee, her eyes are unfocused and she is just waving the straw in her hand, looks like someone is deep in their thoughts. Her  hair reflects the orangish red light in the library cafe making them look golden red color, it is let down from her bun and falling to her shoulder as she rests her hand on the table. God, she is divine. Something about this girl has me divided into two parts one which she has her leash on and the other is till revenging for pepper spray act.

Though I know what I pulled out in front of dorm was not my best play but damn that pepper spray my eyes still sting from the thought of it. 

"Hey," I announce myself, "I know coming here is inciting myself to hell, but it's better than the lovebirds out there." 

Her eyes cut to mine in split seconds, and now I am rethinking my choices.

I take a paper cup from the cabinet and put it down on another coffee machine. I land my gaze to her to find that she is lost in her thought, after while she opens her mouth but doesn't say anything and finally after 5 minutes she says, "How is your brother?" 

"My brother? Are you asking of him as how is he doing or what's his character?"

"Both." She responded, looking directly in my eyes.

"Well, he's a good man if you're asking character, but if you're asking how he is nowadays, he is doing shit." I pause, could she be interested in my brother? The thought rose bile up my throat for unknown reasons. I mean she can if she wants to....who the hell i am to stop her? But still the thought doesn't settle with me.
