Stay

STAY 14

I STAYED IN MY ROOM till the following morning without seeing Liam. I keep thinking of him and the blonde lady, Reese. They look perfect together. The way they look at each other is just like the way the moon looks at the sky.

I stand up from bed and hurriedly prepare for school after getting Ivy's breakfast ready and left quietly left before Liam could notice.

I am so mad at him and also ashamed to look him in the eyes. I flirted with him and I feel so stupid for doing that.

I shouldn't have but I did. He led me on and I almost fell for his ocean blue eyes. He has a girlfriend and I let myself see him differently.

For a moment I thought something could happen. Something can still happen if his girlfriend is not so nice.

I loathe her but she's nice. I can't hate someone like her.

I hurriedly prepare for class, making sure every movement of mine is quiet. The last thing I want now is an attention from Liam.

After getting dressed in a white blazer and blue jean, I stepped out of my room quietly and tiptoed to the living room door in my black flat shoes. I had to put on a flat shoe, so I won't have to make noise with my stilettos.

I quietly open the door, shut it behind me without making unnecessary sound and leave for school.

***

I was able to keep my distance from Liam for few days and I didn't have to see him. I just hope I will be able to do that till the week runs out.

I always get to leave before he comes out of his room and I take my time staying at Dan's place before getting back to the apartment.

It's exactly 11pm, I feel it's finally time for me to get back to my apartment, since I know Liam would probably be sleeping. Even if he was out, he should have been back in his room. I grabbed my things and headed back to the apartment.

I gently twist the door knob open and peeped in first, hoping that I'm right.

Thank Goodness. He isn't in the living room, he's probably asleep just like I've predicted.

I take in a quick sharp breath before stepping in and shutting the door behind me.

I begin to walk towards my bedroom when a husky voice echoes in my head, making me to freeze for a moment.

"You should have been so sure before you came in"

I quickly swivel  around to see the only person I've been trying to get away from. My mouth falls open, shut of words with my eye fluttering in disbelief.

His hands are firmly shoved in his side pocket and and his ocean blue eyes were strongly staring at me frantically. He looks more handsome than the last time I saw him but I just don't want to keep thinking about that.

I can't let myself fall for his dreamy blue eyes again. I can't.

"Uhm..." I try searching for words but I couldn't come up with any. I don't know what to say.

"Have you been avoiding me?" He asked as he walks closer to me, trying to study my face. I'm still trying to come up with words but can't find any. "Of course, you are. I thought we're past all this. We were fine few days ago."

I snigger. "I'm not avoiding you dimwit. Why would I be avoiding you?" I asked back. I can't possibly tell him I'm avoiding him because he has a girlfriend. I sound so stupid and selfish. And besides, he's nothing to me. But why am I avoiding him if he's nothing to me?

"You're definitely avoiding me. If I've done something wrong, just say it. You can yell and call me stupid names like you always do. I'm use to that"
