CAPTURED

THIRTY-THREE

It's been two weeks since I last saw him. Two incredible long weeks, and I don't know for how long I can keep this act up. Who am I kidding? I don't want to be away from him.

I sighed and finished the last assignment from my schoolwork. I packed it all in my bag when my phone rang, when he knew I wouldn't pick up he stopped after a week of calling me and stalking me with messages.

I sipped my wine and looked out of my window, my hotel room is amazing. I can live here for the rest of my life. I can see over the whole city, and that view is pretty amazing.

I saw Tessa was calling me again, 'hello there Tessa' I said while I picked up the phone. 'You are not calling him right' she said immediately. 'I am not, you need to trust me a little more on this Tessa' I joked.

'I trust you with my life but I don't trust you with relationships, because you suck at them' she said. 'True' I said and sipped my wine. 'It's so hard Tessa, I want to call him and hug him and-' 'oh no stop, I don't want to know that but I do know you love that man dearly but it's not going to work if he won't open up more' she said. 'I know Tessa I know' I sighed and drank the last drop of my wine.

'I won't bother you anymore but please think about this alright, go do something fun keep you mind of things like him' she said trying to make some suggestions.

'You are the sweetest but I have tons of homework to be done so I had to focus on that right now, thanks for the call' I said and pressed the red button to end this phone call.

I picked out another assignment and made a cup of tea for myself, an attempt for some focus on my work that had to be done.

I took my cup of herbal tea to the desk and sat down, I tried to focus I really did but I couldn't. There were so many questions and things I didn't know. Things that I wanted to know so desperately, I could sneak around him and just ask his mother but that would be mean and cruel. Maybe I pushed him to hard?

'No don't start like that, he searched for your files' I whispered to myself. It's ridiculous that I feel pity for the man. The man I love so dearly. I sighed and pulled on some training shoes and a I tied my hair back in a ponytail.

Maybe after some running I will feel better and I can concentrate a little more after that. I locked my own room and ran down the street. I ran over the green field, over to the local park where I mostly run. I swipe some sweat from my forehead while I run along the trees.

What if he won't forgive me for leaving his side for two weeks or even more? What if he thinks I am that charity case just like his sister told me. What if that is all I am to him?

The more I thought of it, the harder I started to run. I didn't see where I was going, I took every turn on my way till I felt a pretty hard bump on my way. Hard as in like I fell to the ground because I ran into something or someone.

I wanted to make a snarky comment till I saw a beautiful sweaty man. My sweaty man.

'What are you doing here?' I snapped and started to get up, obvious he was ignoring me and just looked at me. Like he never saw me like this before.

'What are you staring at me' I snapped again, trying to get somehow a reaction from him. 'Alright then I don't need this' I whispered to myself and started to run away from him till I felt his touch.

He grabbed my wrist pretty hard, too afraid that I would run from him. Away.

'Where have you been?' he asked me, that is his first reaction really. I sighed, 'will you let me go, I have somewhere to be' I said. 'That is not true and you know it, you should have been working today but you didn't show up' he said. 'And why do you think that is?' I asked him. 'I know you are angry but please tell me where you were' he said.
