Irene Payton

I slowly opened my eyes and looked up to the ceiling. My head hurted and I got up from the bed. My eyes widen and I almost jumped.. this is not my apartment. I started to panic and got off the bed right away.

"You awake?" I jumped and squealed crazily , I turned to see Joel being shirtless and only wrapped his bottom half with a towel

I turned away from him and closed my eyes

"Put some clothes on! You need some explaining to do!" I said

"Why bother closing your eyes when you already seen it before?" He said and that made me silent. I don't want to talk about my past with him. I took my clutch and ready to get out from this place

"Where do you think you're going?"

"Out.. away from you"

"Well if you didn't notice , you're at my house. My parents didn't know that you're here so you better wait until they leave" My eyes widen and I turned to him in horror. I walked to the window and damn it! He's right..

"How.. How did you get me here? I mean I was drinking last night"

"I might have looking for you and you're dead drunk on that table" He stated and I sighed. I closed my eyes and can't stop blaming myself for doing this stupid things

"What did I do last night?"

"You're vey cuddly to me and you mumbled a lot of things" Oh damn it!

"When will your parents go?" I asked as I looked through the window

"My dad will go at 10 and mom will go out at 11" He said and I opened my clutch taking my phone

"Are you kidding me?"

"What?"

"It's 8 now , I don't want to stay with you that long" I hissed and turned to him. Thank God he's already wearing full clothes

"Well you can get out there , you know my parents right Irene? You will stay here longer if you get out now" He's right and I hate when he's damn right

"Then you get out" I said coldly

"This is my room , my house little one.. I can do whatever I want"

"Don't call me that"

"You're getting fiesty , I like the shy Irene more" He said , I sat on the edge of the bed and sighed. I don't want to talk to him , having a conversation with him making my heart dig deeper. It cause me to surrender and just want to be with him again

"What do you want for breakfast? I have your favorite cereal here" Stop bringing the past up!

"No"

"Bread with peanut butter? Your favorite right?"

"Stop mentioning about the past Joel! I hate it.. I hate cereal and I hate having a bread wih peanut butter!" I bursted angrily and suddenly he turned silent. I didn't want to turn my head to him. I don't want to see him

"I'll get you something" He said in a really calm tone , I felt bad now. Damn you Joel!

I started to open my phone and scrolled though my contact to find Velda's phone number.

"Irene where are you?"

"I'll be there around 12 , I have something going on" I said

"Oh okay then.. Just worried because you always come early" She said and I smiled

"I'm fine , I'll go there at 12" Suddenly Joel walked in and I turned to see him carrying 1 bowl and one big jug of milk. He put it on the table and suddenly he took my arm pulling me to the table.

"Eat" He said and I looked at the bowl

Cocoa pebbles with seperate milk

"Eat up.. Should I do it for you?" He asked and he sat across me

"I don't like this anymore" I said lying

"Don't lie to me" He stated as he pour the milk

"Quick eat up , you don't like when it's too soft" How can he still remember that?

"Stop doing whatever you're trying to do Joel , it's not working" I sighed looking at him

"Why is it not working?" He asked

"We're done. There's nothing left between us"

"Correction , you're the one who ended it and you're the one who ran away from me leaving me" He said and I sighed

"Then accept that fact.. You hate me right? For running away. That's bet-"

"I never hate you.. God Irene , I never hate you"

"Then learn to hate me , I'm better that way" I said coldly

"Why did you runaway?"

"I found someone" I stated quickly

"You're obviously lying"

"Why would I?"

"After I ranaway , I dated that guy for 2 years" Lies.. I made up another lie

"I don't trust you"

"Then don't , I don't ask you to" I hissed

"Eat" He pointed and I sighed. I took the spoon and started eating it

"What kind of guy who can take your heart away except me? Your heart still belong to me Irene" I choked when he said that. I looked at him disbelief

"Do you hear yourself? My heart belongs to me. I regreted my relationship with you" I said and I saw his face show a lot of pain. I felt so bad but I have to do this

"Stop trying Joel , it won't work"

"No.. I won't stop and will never stop. You're mine from the start and you will be mine until the end" I looked at him completely confuse

"You hid me in the dark Joel.. You always hid me" I said in a really painful tone

"We hurted each other a lot , why bother looking for me and trying to take me back? We're not happy and you know that" I continued

"There's no point for us to turn back and start over.. like what you want. It won't work. There's no space for you anymore here" I said even though all of it was a lie

"You know I never listen to people.. right Irene?" Oh damn Joel..

"I know" I sighed

"Then you should know I will not listen to you about this. So I'm not going to stop.. That heart was belong to me and it will belong to me again whether you like it or not" He said clearly

I'm in big damn trouble..
