I had nowhere else to go to expect Eric's place. He was my last option. I pressed his doorbell hesitantly, having doubts since our last conversation didn't end well.

"Sharon! What are you doing here?" He was shocked to see me so late at night.

"Eric, please let me stay in your house for a while."

"No problem. Come in." He gestured.

Off all the places I could go to, I ended up at Eric's house. I can't believe Stephen didn't let me stay in his house. I thought he loved me.

"Make yourself comfortable." He directed me into his house. I gave a faint smile, still not happy about how things turned out between Stephen and me.

"Okay, thanks but what about your parents?" I asked, looking around.

"They went on a trip. So you can stay as long as you want." He assured me but I wasn't intending on staying that long.

"Okay, so where will I sleep?"

"The guest room." He leads me to the room.

"Thank you." I gave a faint smile.

As I dropped my bag on the bed, Eric grabbed my wrist.

"Sharon, tell me what happened." He looked concerned.

"I left home. I just couldn't bear it. My dad....he hates..." I sob.

He hugged me to relieve me of my pain.

"I hate him," I continue to cry.

"They were never the parents I wanted."

"It's okay. I'm here for you." He consoles me

"Thank you." I looked at him in the eye.

"For what?"

"For letting me stay."

"It's nothing. I'm sure Stephen would have let you stay in his house. Wait a minute, didn't Stephen let you stay in his?"

"Long story." I don't want to talk to him about it. He might say ' I told you so'.

"Okay, if you need anything call me."

As he was about leaving, I held his hand and kissed him.

"Eric, I like you but..."

"Please don't...." He stops me from saying that word that could break his heart.

"Stay with me," I tell him. I really needed comforting.

"You're sure?" He asks.

I nod my head.

We laid on the bed. I rested my head on his chest.

"I want to have a day with you even if we are not together."

"You know, I wish this night never ends." He says.

"Me too." He placed a light kiss on my forehead, sending sparks to my body. His body was warm. It made me feel comfortable. We were so close...
