Unknown Feelings

Chapter 12: Relationship Rules

"Stop eating my chocolates." I told Travis.

"And why not? Because its from your honey?" He teased.

"No because its mine. You can eat the flowers if you want." I said.

"Y-You know what? we should have some relationship rules." I continued.

"Wtf? What is this? school?" He said.

"Look, I love you and I don't know why. But you're still Travis. The travis who farts everywhere, the Travis who keep slamming Georgia's door, Travis who always barge in my house and of course the Travis who eats my food." I explained.

"Hey barging in is acceptable. I'm your boyfriend." He said.

"Yeah. At least knock. What if you find Sheryl nude or something." I said.

"Whatever. Alright." He agreed.

"Then you should have to change too you know." He continued.

"W-What? I'm the most perfect girlfriend ever." I said.

"You're the perfect fighter hun. You're not Pacquiao so stop beating me up." He complained.

"How could I beat the person I love?" I hugged him as if its real.

"A-And stop doing that." He said.

"Doing what?" I asked while still hugging him.

"That. Using my weaknesses to get what you want." he answered.

"What's your weakness? this? this?" I asked as I sat on top of him held his two wrists and kissed his whole face like a kid.

"S-Stooop." He almost screamed.

"Hee-" Sheryl suddenly opened my door.

I quickly get off from Travis which made me fell off my bed.

"Sorry. I thought he's gone." Sheryl quickly went inside to help me get up.

"Hun you okay?" Travis asked as he carried me into the bed.

"I just fell. How can I be okay?" I complained.

"It's your fault. You think you're a cowgirl, is it?" Sheryl said.

"Stupid. I-I was just messing with him." I said.

"My right foot hurts." I said.

I fell at the right side of the bed and most of my weight was carried by my right foot.

"What do you need anyway?" I asked Sheryl.

"Just wanna ask if you wanna come over Eli's. Imma go babysit." Sheryl said.

"Oh. But I'm still sleepy. I'll rest first and go over after." I said.

"Okay. I'll leave now. Hey, take care of the cowgirl." She said as she pointed to Travis.

"Stupid." I said.

Travis was still laughing even after Sheryl went off.

"Stop laughing idiot." I slapped his shoulder.

"Hey no violence." He said.

"Okay okay. sorry." I said.

"Lay down." He said and I just followed him.

He sat at the bottom part of my bed. he grabbed my foot and start massaging it. It felt so relaxing.

I had like a tons of ex bf's and not even one did this before. All they think about is sex, sex and sex.

I started to relax and I did not even realize that I slept.

=====================

I was waken up by my ringing tone. I can't move properly as Travis's arms were wrapped around me. I tried to remove it but he kept putting it back and he's quite strong.

"Travis! Someone's calling me." He was startled when I screamed and he let go of me. I found my phone under the pillow travis was using.

It was Lawrence.

"H-Hello?" I greeted him.

"O-Oh sorry did I woke you up?" Lawrence asked.

"Yeah." I answered.

"Sorry I'll just call some other time." Lawrence said.

"It's okay What is it?" I asked.

"I-I was just wondering if Travis already told you about hanging out on friday night. you, me, travis and alice." He asked.

"F-Friday night?" I looked at Travis.

He already guessed what I was talking about as he was gesturing that I should say yes.

"Oh yeah." I said.

"That's good. see you then." He replied.

After I hanged up, I was waiting for Travis to explain.

"So?" I said.

"I was about to tell you. I was thinking why not we tell him on Friday night?" Travis said.

"Why do you have to include Alice?"I asked.

"Lawrence suggested it and he already invited Alice straight ahead. What will I do?" He explained.

"Alright. This is the last time we're pretending Travis. I'm not used to this kind of thing." I said.

"Yes." He kissed me.

===================

"You know what, I think you and Travis are really alike." Sheryl said. We are currently watching our all time favorite movie, 50 first dates.

"And why is that? We're like tom and jerry." I said as I ate my chips.

"Yeah. What I mean is, you two are good at hiding at the shadows of your weaknesses." Sheryl said.

"Are you sheryl? That's so fucking deep." I commented.

"Listen. Who would notice that Travis has some deep feelings for you? He hid from the girls he dated and use that as a tool to have your attention." Sheryl elaborated.

"And you, you are hiding from your past. You used to sacrifice things for your boyfriends to keep them happy. cause you believe in sacrificing but never in love."

"I know you too well hannah. You know how to make a man stay in love with you but you never believe in your own feelings. Do you even say I love you to them that you really mean it?" Sheryl asked.

Wow. She has a future ins psychology. she's like slapping me with reality.

"Why do we have to talk about this? What's your point?" I asked.

"Look hannah. I love you. I could feel that you're not giving it all. You are still resisting of trust. Travis loves you. I knew that--"

"Wait!Stop! You knew?" I asked.

"Y-Yeah. He told me before you went to Chicago." She admitted.

"Why you didn't tell me?" I asked.

"Why would I tell you? I know you. You would've planned things in advance if I were to do that." She said.

"So you're Team Travis? Is that what you were telling me?" I smiled.

"Y-Yeah." She said.

"Alright. To be honest, I don't have any doubt on him sher." I said.

"And?" Sheryl was gesturing on asking me to continue.

"B-But.. I am doubting on myself. I grew up not knowing what love is. The last time I gave my trust on someone, he blew it away. even My dad left my mum. W-What if something happens to us? What if I suddenly give up?"I explained.
