Chapter 26

I shrieked and jumped at the same time. Is he fucking serious?

“Oh my God Carter! What is there to be sad about?” I was grinning so much that I think my jaw could’ve break.

“Brenda, I really want this to work, so what is going to happen to us?”

I took a step back as my face fell, "You mean this is over?"

He didn't bother to take a step closer again, but I could see that he was hesitating to do so as I could see pain in his eyes while he scratched the back of his head, "Is that what you want?"

I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion, "What?"

"Isn't that what always happen actually?"

"Do you want that to happen then?" 

"Never in a million years."

I smiled inwardly, "Carter, so you're saying that you thought we can't be together because that is what I'm supposed to be thinking? Of course not! This is not a book or movie, and I'm not going to be the selfish character who pushes you away."

He kept silently staring at me for a while and then he spoke again, like a lost puppy in a lower voice, "That's not my completely thoughts. It's just that I know that it's probably going to hurt you by the fact that I'm not going to be by your side every day anymore because that thought is already beating the living soul out of me, so I thought that you'll want to break it off. Well at least that is what usually happens right?"

"That's exactly like the characters in chick flicks Carter. I thought you don't watch those."

To be honest, I was kind of scared as shit by thinking that he was going to leave me, so I'm not lying if I say ranting on him was on the tip of my tongue. Because I really thought everything was going to be over in just a split second, but thank God I didn't start to yell at him first as I gave him the chance to tell me what he was thinking because things could've really turned out to be way different if I didn't hear his part. And you see, watching movies and reading books can influence your brain and control you thoughts by somehow telling or showing you how reallity is supposed to be. What usually happens in the movies or books is that one person in the relationship pushes the other one away just because they think that they will be better without him or her, but I think that is so selfish.

And yes, I wasn't entirely okay with the fact that he thought that I was like most of those people that would break it off just because they can't handle the distance, but life is too short and it's better to avoid the dramas and live it up.   

"Hey, I only watch like one of them."

"Yeah sure, have you ever thought that It's going to hurt even more not to be in contact with you at all idiot."

I was indirectly telling that I obviously want to stay by his side forever even when it's not psychically, but I just couldn't get those in words and he did somehow understand me. A grin immediately appeared on his face as he looked me straight in the eyes while his own were shining brightly, "Tomatow you're not kidding right?"

I rolled my eyes and shook my head, "Does this even look like a subject to kid about?"

He let out a sigh, which I assumed was a sigh of relief as he smiled at me and said in a sexy voice, "You're definitely something else."

"A good something else or?" I raised my eyebrow.

"A really really bad something else."

I gasped as I put my hand over my chest to add effect towards my fake reaction, "Carter, how could you!"
