Inevitable

Chapter 3

H.S

Opening my eyes, my bedroom was dark. The bed felt hot and sticky, her naked body was cuddled onto my side. Strands of Nadine's blonde hair are covering my face and a few is stuck on my lips. I brush her hair out of my face glancing at the clock on top of the table. It's only 3:47 am and it felt like in the middle of the afternoon. I carefully removed her hand that's clung on my body; I stand up and search for the remote of the AC. She stirs a bit in her slip, turning around and wrapping her arms on the pillow.

I walk out of the room and went to the kitchen filling the glass with water and chugging it while thinking of the last night's event. I can believe I was thinking of Stass all the time. I squeeze my eyes shut before filling the glass with water again and chugging it in a matter of seconds.

I grab our scattered clothes on the floor while I walk to the sink and placed the glass on the sink. I turn around and saw Nadine standing on my bedroom door; she was still naked because of our recent activity.

"Go to bed love, I'll be there soon." I said. She didn't listen and walk sleepily towards me. She wraps her arms around my waist, nuzzling his head on my chest. I did the same squeezing her.

"I'll miss you." She whispered.

"Don't think about it love." I sighed. "Let's go to sleep, yeah?"

I pick up the clothes on top of the counter and we walk to my room. I place the clothes on the hamper before joining Nadine on the bed. She immediately cuddled into my side. The room was chilly but the bed was still warm giving a nice contrast of temperature on my body.

"I love you, Harry." She whispered but loud enough so I can hear it.

I open my mouth to say it back but I just can't seem to do it. It was stuck on my throat and I can't just vomit it out. I sighed and warp my arms tighter around her and place a kiss on her forehead.

The next that I woke up the bed was already empty. Glancing at the clock, it was already ten in the morning. I stand up from the bed and stretch for a bit before picking up a random shirt on my drawer. Walk to the bathroom and sleepily splash water onto my face.

I heard the door opened. I glance in to the side and saw Nadine looking at me with a smile. Her body was clad with a loose shirt and a pair of short. Her hair was tied into a ponytail. I stand up properly and smile at her.

"Morning." I said.

"Morning. Breakfast?" I nodded. I walk to her and gave her a quick kiss before going out of the room. Plates of eggs and bacon are sitting on top of the table. I sit on the chair and so does Nadine. We continued to eat in silence. Only our breathing and the soft sound of the telly is what heard on the apartment.

I know she knows that I wasn't asleep when she told me she love me last night. I just hope that he doesn't bring that up.

"What time is your flight?" I asked Nadine, breaking the awkward silence between us. She drinks from her glass before answering.

"Three PM." She said. I nodded and continued to eat. It was like we're back on square one again. And it's all because of me. Just because I didn't say it back. I know she gets upset when she I don't say it back.

Am I falling out of love?

I sighed and waited for her to finish her food before I stand up and put our plates on the sink.

"You go pack your things. I'll just wash this." She doesn't respond she just goes to my room and began packing her clothes. By the time I'm done washing the dishes I went inside of my room. She was sitting on the floor putting her clothes on her suitcase.
