Now serving Chapter 4 •Confessions of the Heart•

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I'm speechless. With my regards to him. Other than that, I feel immobile and silent just sitting here in the silence. He witnessing my dramatic discourse at Applebee's Grill was uncalled for. I expected him to be on his way somewhere like to his house or some girls home. But instead he both watched the whole scene and saved me from embarrassment.

"Thanks for what you did back there." I mutter. I just didn't have enough courage to thank him. I mean I never owed anything to him before. Thank God I still managed to mutter thanks to him. Let's just hope he hadn't heard it.

"What was that, Katherine?" He asks with eyes on the road.

Damn, "I said thanks for what you did back there at the Grill." I reply incoherently.

He smirks, "We wouldn't want to embarrass yourself now would we?"

He turn his head when the traffic light turned red to meet my eyes. "May I ask you one thing though?"

I hesitate to answer or say anything. I'm sure that'll be about the drama at that place. But he'll just be pushing the subject on and on and on if I won't answer it.

"What is it? If its about awhile ago, forget it." I sigh. I just want to forget it never happened. Forget and be happy.

"No. You can't simply say forget it. That was one heck of a outburst. And I mean really, I heard it from the spot I was sitting on and that was near the exit." He chuckles with a serious face. "So that wasn't a nothing."

"What do you want me to say? That I poured almost all my feelings and the grudges that built up in me all those years? That they were part of my horrible catastrophic past? That's my burden to carry, not someone else's'." I snarl at him. I won't be telling him my secret or rather my past. I won't allow myself to do it.

He doesn't say anything after. He kept his eyes on the road with an annoyed expression. The light turns green and the cars around us move and us too. I lean back at the passenger seat, letting the leather cushioned seat envelope me. I see tall skyscrapers as we pass by and the radio plays some sappy love song that would make my eardrums bleed. I try to close my eyes and rest my head on the side.

I think of Cameron, Matthew, our forgotten memories, my parents smiling, the tragic day that determined my life and Chase. Eventually my eyelids become heavy and I drift off to sleep.

•>Chase Maverick<•

She's sleep soundly beside me. Resting her headstrong attitude and dreaming. I should've answered her before she drifted off to la la land.

Her impromptu speech at the restaurant was heartbreaking and intriguing at the same time. Every word is filled with a hidden emotion I can't read it. And its touch me deeply.

'You sound so gay right now. When did ya even get all mushy and sensitive?' My subconscious chides.

'I don't even know when', I whisper to myself.

I can't even believe my eyes when I saw her cry in front of those people. I could see tears flowing freely on her cheeks, making look as vulnerable as ever. That's when I step in. The girl on her table seems to be gawking in annoyance when Katherine said her heartbreaking speech. But her eyes shows otherwise, she could break down to tears any minute. And I think Katherine's aware of that. I avert my gaze to the guy beside the girl.
