Attraction 2

11. Saying my name

She continued to sing.

    " Touch me like nobody else
    does.
    Lovely to just lay here with
    you..                       
    You're kinda cute and I..
    would say all of this
    but I don't want to ruin the 
    moment.
    Lovely to sit between comfort      and chaos"

She sang on and on and I just listened. Once she was done singing, she went silent.

" Gabriel?" She spoke softly as if she was checking if I was asleep.
" Mhm" I replied and there was a short pause.
" I missed you too. A lot" she said. I felt so.. satisfied within, that was all I wanted. I needed to know that she missed me and that I was wanted.

" And I thought of you almost everyday" she added. At that moment, I wanted to tell her I loved her, that I was crazy about her but I didn't want to ruin everything. I didn't know how she would take it.

" I'm relieved to hear that Liela" I said instead.
" I have classes early tomorrow. So... I need to go to bed now" she told me. I nodded but realized she couldn't see me.

" Okay. Thank you.. I feel so much better. God night angel"
" Good night" she said back and I heard the call end. I leaned back on the bathtub. I've never felt this relaxed in a long time.

....

     The next day, I couldn't wait to see her. I had to see her. I knew if I didn't see her, there was a 99.9% chance that I would go insane. I had already been away from her for almost two years, I couldn't handle anymore time apart.

I picked up my phone and dialed her number. It rang and just when the call was about to end, she picked up. I was glad. I waited for her to speak.

" Gabriel?" She asked sleepily. Fuck. Her voice sounded so fucking good.
" I woke you" I stated and she hummed in response.
" Thank you. I have lectures this morning and my alarm didn't go off. If you didn't call. I'd have probably gone late or missed it completely" she told me.

I didn't mind all she was saying, I was just happy she was speaking to me normally again. Liela used to wake up very early, but I've noticed she didn't wake up as early as she used to.

Maybe as a result of stress, which was probably my fault but I was glad she wasn't scared of waking up late anymore. She always wanted to be in good behavior while living with us because of how her late step mom used to treat her.

Well turned out she wasn't even her step mother.

" Liela" I spoke calmly.
" Mhm" she answered.
" Can we meet after your class today?" I asked hopefully.
" Maybe" she replied after a short period of silence. I wondered if she didn't want to see me.

    After the call, I took my bath and dressed up. I also had classes. I got into my car and drove to uni. All I could think about was Liela, I couldn't wait to see her and to hold her. Maybe kiss her, but I didn't want to push her.

I can't afford her thinking I'm playing with her because I'm really not.

Liela's Pov

     I sat in class, trying to focus on the lecturer's voice but all I could think about was Gabriel saying my name with his deep voice and saying the word... Fuck!

I used to get scared when he used the word in almost everything he said but now... I think it's hot when he says it. Only God knows what is wrong with me.

I was nervous tho. He wanted us to meet and I didn't know if I would be able to say no to him if he asked to see me naked again. God! That day kept haunting me.

Perhaps he was actually right when he said he left me alone to focus on school. Because after meeting him, I really wasn't concentrating. I just sat there waiting for the class to be over, but it felt too long.

Gabriel had been a bad influence on me from the beginning, well.. not like I'm complaining.

Once the class was over. I grabbed my things and hurried out of the class. I held my phone staring at it. There was no text or call from him which made me a little sad.

I stood by the building and just kept staring at my phone while people swarmed out of the hall talking.

" Hey" I heard and raised my face. It was Michelle. I smiled.
" Waiting for your boyfriend?" She asked with a teasing smile and I found myself blushing.
" He's not my boyfriend, I keep telling you that" I dropped my eyes to my phone again.
" But we both know you want him" she teased further.

I smiled. I really wanted that, but what if he didn't want that? I sighed.
" I'll let you be. Take care okay?" She said touching my shoulder lightly and I nodded at her before she walked off. I looked at my phone again, a certain annoyance coming over me.

I dialed Gabriel's number and it only rang shortly before he picked up.

" I thought you wanted us to meet, so why haven't you called or texted me yet? I've been standing outside in the sun for a while now" I almost yelled into the phone.
" Fuck.. Baby I'm sorry. I'm already on my way" he replied, not fazed by the fact that I raised my voice.

But that wasn't what caught my attention. I went quiet. I felt like ice was poured upon me.
' Gabriel called me Baby. Again, after so long' I thought to myself.

" Hello... Hey... Liela I'm sorry" his voice said from the phone.
" Okay" I muttered and quickly ended the call. I looked around and there were only a few people who were still hanging around.

I soon caught sight of Gabriel's car and I got anxious. I regretted calling and raising my voice. I could have been a little more patient. That was so unnecessary and childish, but that was the problem, I was always childish with Gabriel.

He pulled over and quickly came out of the car. After closing the door, he started walking towards me. He had a slight frown on his forehead. I stood still, thinking of what to say to him when he gets to me. It didn't take long for him to reach where I was standing.

I craned my head to meet his intense gaze.
" I'm sorry I didn't come on time, I'm sorry I didn't text or call either" he apologized and took my left hand in his; I was conscious of the people around but I didn't pull my hand away.

He's been apologizing a lot lately and I felt guilty. If I kept up like this, he'd probably get tired of me.

" Am I forgiven?" He asked.

Here is another update...
Once again...  I apologise for the unorganized updates and the fact I barely update.

Hope you also like this.
