CHANGE

•CHAPTER 5•

There hadn't been a single text from him. Not even a call. I hadn't heard his name in days but his name was ringing in my head like a national anthem. I craved to know what he was doing, who he was with, and why he hadn't text me. Was I going insane over some guy who is temporary for a week or so and will leave like the rest? It's all these dopamine chemicals being released. Work was the same ol' same. Everything seemed long and tiring. A routine that I would quickly trade for something new. Some colour.

Parking my Q3 outside the Apartment, I reached for my keys before making my way to the entrance to only be greeted by, the one and only.

Blake.

"What did I do to owe the pleasure.." I mumble as I don't look at him while opening the gate. "I wanted to talk to you" he said while trying to chase me down. "You really could have texted me, or called to meet up, not show up at my apartment block. Jesus. That is low-key stalking" I said while keeping a firm hand on the gate while the other was on my hip, simultaneously biting my inside of my cheek to prevent myself from smiling. He was just too damn gorgeous for me. "I may have to file a restraining order" I sarcastically gasped, before smirking with a little chuckle. "You wouldn't" he replied in the same tone. "Try me" I said before shutting the gate behind me while walking into the reception building.

"You're one to watch out for Ella" he half yelled as I kept on walking till all sound was out of mind.

The rest of the week went smoothly enough, but no Blake, accept the one time I had a dream about him. Other than that.

Nothing.

"Long shot in the dark" I mumbled to myself and I took a small puff of my cigarette. "What's a long shot in the dark?". Turning to face the person, it was non other than Mr.Gorgeous himself. "Blake" I say not surprised to see him popping up anywhere anymore. "Ella, nice to see you again.. on this.." he trailed off as he looked around the park we were in. "Lovely cool early Novembers morning". I just nodded not knowing what to say. After quite some time had passed his voice broke the silence. "I don't understand". I just turn to look at him while throwing a jumper on as I wasn't as warm as I was before. "You, do a good thing and you take it away by smoking? Healthy minus unhealthy brings you back to square one if I am not mistaken". "Please" I scoff before taking out another one to piss him off on purpose. Lighting it, I remove it from my lips. "You don't know anything about me". "Which is why I would love to get to know you more". Frowning at his comment and half utterly shocked that this gorgeous boy that I've been craving and wanting so badly, wants to get to know me. Ella. "Be ready at 5. And don't be late. I'll be waiting outside your apartment."
He commented loudly enough before jogging off into the distance. Stunned, I eventually yelled "What do I wear". Only getting a hand gesture in return I smirked before turning in the opposite direction back home.

My heart was leaping. Jumping , doing summersaults, twirling.. everything imaginable to a human. Blake, the guy I can't get my mind off.. is asking ME, out on a date.

"Yesss" I squeal as I get in the door while jumping around.

Just as I was about to put on my left false eyelash, my phone alerts me I've a new message. Skipping over to my phone I pick it up only to be,

Shattered.

"I can't make it, something came up"

Standing there with the phone and eyelash glue in my hand. I turned off my phone before sitting down on the bed, letting my eyes cloud over with a glossy hue.

Eventually I gathered the strength to grab a tub ice cream and a box of  tissues

All I was now left with was..

My heavy heart and a mind full of questions that wouldn't be answered any time soon.

I'm sorry I talk about lighting cigarettes so much, I swear I'm going to stop or cut it down after this chapter. It's just mainly to show how we can really cut bad habits if we try. x
Stay tuned for more ❤️.
