Love Is Not Over

Cam: Embarrassing

He talked to me. Like, sat right across from me and talked. To me. ME.

Even laying on my bed and replaying it in my head doesn't seem realistic. At all.

Jimin. My ultimate bias. Talked. To. Me.

Yeah. And you muttered like a nervous bimbo. Congrats! He probably thinks you're a grade A b****!

My smile fell at the thought, my mood totally shifting. Like, seriously. What the hell was I thinking? Why couldn't I talk normally like I do with Vernon? I mean, Vernon's my bias too! So why was it so hard to talk to Jimin?

Oh, I don't know. Cuz Jimins older. More ripped. Sexy voice. Amazing personality.

I shut my eyes in frustration, screaming into my pillow. "DAMN IT!"

For so long I've dreamt of meeting him. Befriending him. And maybe even date?

But now that he's practically handing himself over to me, I have nothing to say. Nada. Zip. My mind goes blank every time he tries to talk.

And do I do it on purpose? Yes.

Why? Because I have no time for relationships right now. No space in my heart for another person.

I needed to focus on me. On finding myself again. On putting the pieces back together.

But still. I felt bad for treating him that way. Especially if he just wanted to be friends.

I sat up, feeling the need to run again. So I swapped my PJs for a track suit, slipping on my disguise and shoes before making my way out.

The plan? Run until I can't think anymore.

Right. Let's go.

                              ...

*5 miles and 15 laps later*

I walked in the penthouse to find Ty and Alex sprawled on the couches. Probably watching a K-Drama.

"I'm back." I closed the door, heading for my room.

"Where you goin?" They asked together.

I cringed at the question. "Shower."

"Hmmmm, why? Did you sweat with Vernon?" Ty interrogated.

I stopped, totally caught off guard. "What?!"

"Just saying. Cuz you know, you like keepin secrets now." I stared at her, holding back a laugh. This was her way of being petty.

I sighed, exhausted. "Look, I was gonna bring him over when I got the food, but then y'all got in trouble. It was just bad timing, I wasn't trying to hide it from you."

She wasn't buying it. "That explains why you distracted Alex and ran off? Cuz you knew Alex was gonna drag me with her too?"

"No, pabo. He just happened to be at the same restaurant okay? Sounds crazy but it's true." I explained, hoping she'd drop it.

"So did y'all just meet there or y'all met before that?" She continued.

I groaned. "Jeez! We met at that restaurant the day I was supposed to pick y'all up from the airport. He showed me around and stuff then I dropped him off. That's all."

She eyed me, calculating in her head. "Fine, you may go shower now." She finally said, turning her attention back to the TV.

I shook my head, slowly continuing to the my room.
