You and Me

Chapter 7: Must You Be Everywhere?

I put all my frustration into my run back to the house. What should have been a fifteen-minute run turned into a seven-minute dash. I can't believe I fell for his trap. The worst part of falling into his trap is that I left all the groceries with him. Just great, now I don't have any ice-cream to eat while I vent.

I can't believe he put me in that position after I just told him how I felt about the situation. I love him but I love me more. There is no way I can get close to him again. If he ever got close to my heart again. He will be my demise and a fragile heart can't be broken twice. Letting down my guard isn't an option if I wish to survive.

I jumped in the shower and try to wash all traces of him out of my system. This is college, my second chance at a real life. In this life a broken heart won't be the cause of my destruction and nothing ever will be.

As I was done with my shower I heard a knock on the door. It looks like I'm going to have to get the door since the girls probably went back to sleep after I left. I quickly got my robe on and did a sprint for the door.

"Hell- Oh it's just you. What do you want?" Seeing  Josh a second time today isn't part of my plan.

" Well you left your groceries in your attempt to hide from what we have."

"Well Josh apparently the heat in California damaged your brain cells since you think there is anything between us and thank you for my groceries would you mind bringing them in."

Surprisingly he didn't bother to argue with me. Which only meant he was not giving up. Of course I helped carry the groceries in though, the quicker he left the better for me. We were currently standing in the living room when I realized that he was staring at me.

"Ummmm Earth to Josh." I said as I flashed my hand in front his face. "Why are you staring?"

"It's hard not to stare." His words made me feel uncomfortable and made me more aware that am just in a robe which was feeling shorter and shorter every second he looked at me.

"Okay thanks for bringing my groceries up and helping me putting them inside. Oh look at the time you should be leaving now." I said this practically pushing him towards the door which is pretty hard considering how tall and built and muscular and se-. Snap out of it!

Before I could open the door however he took over control. He turned us so my back was on the door. For the second time today he has managed to trap me.

"What are you doing?" I asked as he got closer to me.

"You said there is nothing between us but I know it's a lie." I swallowed hard at his assumption but that's not going to stop me from denying it.

"You've seriously lost it Josh." Okay even I wouldn't believe me. "Anyway I have no time to put up a debate with you because I have class to get ready for." With that said I managed to push him through the door.

Add that to my list of frustrations. It's not even 12 in the afternoon yet and I am already wishing this day to be over. I went to my room to find something I could wear to school. It was now 9:30a.m which means I have thirty minutes to get to my first lecture. With me being left alone after the morning events it was easy for me to get ready without interruptions.

My blonde hair was straight and in a ponytail. As for the outfit I went with a white loose tank top, black high waist jeans, brown leather jacket and boots. Today am going natural as possible with my make-up. I think this should be a good look to welcome autumn.

Grabbing my keys, phone and bag I head out my room.

"Hey Angel. Are you ready to go?" Angel and I are in the same Business Law and Design class so it makes sense we travel together.
