The Hardest YOU Hart!

XIII CHAPTER: FEELING SUCH AND STALKING MUCH

After they went out from the medical clinic, Nova asked me for a moment to talk. The only thing I want to know is how she is doing. That is it! Nothing else, nothing less. One thing has nothing to do with the other, so I prefer we keep personal issues away from the country club. Her mom is not at home, she wants me to go to her place after my shift. I am not sure about this.

I rather stay away from her and her violent, abusive family though! I have known this kind of people my whole life, and it is always worse each time. Besides, being the situation the way it is between Jordan and Nova, he could do anything I will regret. But Nova insists! She is impossible. The whole day she has been sending me texts about her feelings and asking me for an opportunity to talk to me in person.

Seriously? She could be really annoying sometimes. Most of the times she is! And it is hard to admit it, but this is one of the things I love the most about her. She needs to rest, but she does not even care about it. At the end of the night, she forced me to accept her offer, but did not agree to go to her place. There is something about the Waltz residence I still cannot dare to handle, so I asked her to go to a neutral place, the beach!

It is a beautiful night so far, one of so many they have here in the West Coast. With endless stars shining so bright. The wonderful moon so big and round. I took my blanket and rode my bike to the beach shore, to the exact place I like to be the most. The most quiet and peaceful I can lay on.

I was so distracted, watching the stars, listening to the ocean waves crashing against the cliff. I almost fell asleep, but suddenly, the reflex of a light interrupted my meditation moment. It was Nova. She brought me blue roses (my favorite ones, but how can she tell?), chocolates and a letter she wrote. For real! Unbelievable! I was speechless! She is the one who got hurt by her ex and I am the one who is getting flowers. A very ironically funny situation.

She also brought a basket full of food and drinks out of her Jeep. She still has a purple spot near her right eye, just the same Trevor had on Saturday night. It was very touching for me to see her like this, so vulnerable, so unprotected. I could not resist and stood up to welcome her with a unyielding hug. She put everything on the sand and hugged me back. She kissed me!

I already had a bonfire I was using to get warm. She brought all kinds of stuff. She even stole a Chardonnay bottle from her mom's counter. We were acting like teenagers who want to get drunk for the very first time, but it is totally worth it.

...A moment later...

- What are you thinking of? -

- Nothing at all! And everything, at the same time. Or like my mom used to say when she was alive. A little bit of everything and too much of nothing! -

- Your mom sounds great! -

-She was! She was the greatest mom ever. She was my best friend, my protector, my spoiler, my conselor, too. She was everything in one. She meant the world to me. She and my dad were the reason why I am the woman I am now. -

- So I have to thank them for making you the way you are. -

- Yeah! You are making fun of me now, eh? -

- No! I am totally serious about it. I have never met someone like you before. You are the bravest girl, but sweetest thing ever at the same time. You have got all of the elements. -

- All of the elements? What is that supposed to mean? -

- That means that you are the perfect combination. The perfect mix between toughness and sweetness. -

- Now you are making fun of me! -

- NO! Of course, not. You are the most amazing person I have ever known. You are different, way too different than the rest of girls in this circle. -
