“So, what you are trying to say is that you don’t want to be with her anymore if she doesn’t care enough about you, to try to help herself?” I questioned in disbelief. Here we sat, on the swings of my favorite park. After my little run in with the squirrels, things have seemed to calm down a little. There was still some part of me that was still giddy over how worried about me Steven was.
He nodded.
My heart did a little jump. I knew Alexandria would do anything possible to not have to deal with fixing herself. Trust me, I have tried to help her several times in the past.
“Okay, what are you thinking?” I looked up at Steven where he was staring down at me. “You have that i-know-something-you-don’t look on your face.”
I blushed. How come I always showed my emotions through my face? Note to Self: work on poker face.
“Oh…um I was just thinking that I know a way I can help you, to help her.” He looked at me skeptically. Great, now he can see through my best lies.
“Okay, well what then?”
“I can tell you, but you’re not going to like it.” I stated. He looked scared and confused, which slowly disappeared.
“I trust you.” He said, grabbing my hand. I blushed, gosh why can I not control my blushing
I mulled over the thought of telling him for a while. What the hell, there was nothing at stake now.
“You have to ignore her first, to get her attention. But after that, you kinda have to…have to pretend to be interested in someone else. Then she’ll realise that she can’t hold onto you forever, and that you have other options.” My eyes strayed away from his, not wanting to see the emotions that lay there.
It was silent. Obviously he didn’t like my plan but he wasn’t meant to. I lightly swung back and forth on my swing, before picking up speed and going as high as I could. I felt the wind in my hair and felt pure joy flowing throughout my body. I laughed and giggled manically, forgetting all about my surroundings and getting lost in my own world.
I threw my head back and looked up towards the now darkening night sky. It was getting closer to winter so our days are getting shorter. The sun starts setting around seven thirty and it was almost eight.
Suddenly I was pulled out of my whirlwind and being slowed to a stop. I opened my eyes and peaked out the corners, looking over to see Steven holding on to the side of my swing. I huge grin was spread across his face. My cheeks heated up and I could tell they were getting their tinge of pink back.
‘You should laugh more,” Steven said as he kept looking at my eyes, I looked away, afraid that some of my true emotions would show. “It really suits you.”
It was quiet for a moment before I looked back up at him. He was still staring at me. I got really self-conscious at that point and went to look away. That was when he cupped my face with his left hand, while the other moved to brush hair off of my cheek.
“Suzanna,” he used my full name, he knew I hated that. But for some reason when he said it, I didn’t get angry. “will you be the girl I flirt with? Please, I just really need Alexandria back.”
