Running Into You

Chapter 15: The Nightmare

"In your arms, I still feel comfort,
  In your smile, I still find peace,
  For me there is no other,
  No matter what time may bring."

Cyndiana Collins's POV

The next day I woke up happily, everything seemed beautiful to me, I was in love and there might be a possibility that he loved me too. I want to see him, though I don't want to admit it but I miss him. Yesterday, what I saw in his eyes was priceless, it was something I never thought might be. It was love, a yearning for true love, his eyes held immense pain and love and through that magical kiss which we shared, I could feel that he wanted to tell me something but was unable to. Besides, he never said anything to me and he did not even reply to my letter. Maybe he is afraid to, I whispered to myself. I need to ask him , why the hell did he kissed me when he doesn't even love me?

There are soo many questions going on in my mind right now which only he could answer.

As usual, I was wearing my formal attire, a black pencil skirt and an elegant white long sleeves blouse and finished my look with a light makeup and went to work. The hotel was the same, yet everything seemed to have changed, I was in love, my heart whispered to me. I was smiling like an idiot throughout the whole day, at times, people would give me murderous stares but I seemed to be unaffected. At the end of the day, I mustered some courage and finally went into his office, but to my surprise, it was empty, he was not there.

"No this can't be happening, not again, he can't leave, I need my answers", I whispered to myself.

I ran to the reception to ask about Ryan, Melisa , the receptionist was shocked to see me running, am sure she might be thinking that I'm a mad girl but I don't care, I need to know about Ryan.

"Where's Ryan", I asked her?

"Mr.Smith went to Greece last night for the construction of the new hotel".

"When is he going to come back?"

" I don't know, he didn't told me", she replied.

I was taken aback by her words. He left me, again, I felt my eyes soaked with my tears, I tried hard not to cry because I knew it from the very beginning that he would never fall in love with a stupid girl like me, it was always me assuming things. I walked out of the office as fast as I could, took the first cab home. I was crying in my room again until I felt the same comfort arms pulled me into a tight hug. That night, Dee again helped me to sleep, I tried hard not to think about him , but as always I couldn't think of anything else but him.

After a few days, I was sleeping in my room alone when I woke up hearing someone whispering my name into my ears. It was the same voice that I was sure not to hear again, it was him, he was back. As I opened my eyes, I saw the same pair of black dreaded eyes looking back at me, it held terror, I was scared as hell but before I could even shout for help, he placed his cold clammy hand onto my face preventing me from screaming. I tried hard to push him away, I punched his face several times but his grip on me only tighten, cutting off my air intake causing me to struggle more. He tried to touch my body by his other dirty hand, I felt disgusted under his touch, when suddenly I heard a loud scream before everything else turned black. As I opened my eyes, I was relieved to see my sister beside me. I hugged her tightly.

"It was only a nightmare little one", she whispered to me and hugged me tightly.

"I wish it never comes true", I whispered back to her and started to cry.
