I smiled at him and patted the space beside me. He followed my instructions and came over to the bed and got under the covers too. His warmth was beaming off him and I felt warmer and safer with him beside me. We were very close, only close enough for our shoulders to touch.

"What's keeping you up?" He asked.

"I don't know. Everything. What about you?"

"Same." He turned slightly so he could see my face. "You didn't really tell me much about that Mohamed guy." He said his name slightly wrong.

"He said something that pissed me off."

"Which was?"

"He said he loved me." I sighed. "Then said that I was afraid because I'd never been in love before and I that I have commitment issues. What made me angry was I do love someone and that love went through hardships and it took time to grow. His fake love that he claims he has for me is bullshit."

"You should've punched him in the balls." Ethan said and I laughed. "Better yet, I should've punched him."

"I wish." The laughter died down.

"So was he the only guy after me?"

"No, but the rest never go any far. It was like I'm numb to other men. I feel nothing towards them, to the point where I thought there really was something wrong with me. I realised that no one could ever make me feel the way you do." I tuned to to look at him. "you have me so hooked on you. You had me hooked for years even though we weren't anywhere near each other or even together."

"You had me hooked too. Unlike you it's not so simple to just meet someone so I never really met anyone knew." I fiddled with my fingers as he spoke. "I always wondered what you were up to. You could just check social media to see what I was doing, but for me I was clueless. I didn't know if you were doing well, if you were going through a crisis. Hell, if you were even still alive to be extreme. I wanted to be there for you, but I couldn't."

"And look at where we are now." I smiled looking at the ceiling and so was he. I could see him smiling as well from the corner of my eye. "Who knew."

"That's what I've been thinking about. You believe in God, right?" He asked.

"Uh huh." I hummed. It was a silly question, but I didn't want to ruin the mood with my laughter.

"You believe he does things for a reason and he has everything planned for us."

"Uh huh."

"So us meeting again, it was meant to happen." He said and I gasped on the inside and my eyes widened. "I mean what are the odds of seeing you again when we were both trying to avoid each other in every way possible, but it happened."

"I never actually thought about it like that." Was all I said.

"Sorry for being such a jerk at the start." He said.

"No, it think I deserved it for a bit."

"I was being a jerk to Grayson too. I was jealous that you two were spending time together even after what happened between us, when really Grayson understood why you broke us off in the right way and I guess I took it the wrong way." He sighed.
