Identical (COMPLETED)

Chapter 13

Chapter 13

The food was delicious and there was so much that we both got doggy bags to eat for lunch tomorrow. We walked side-by-side back to the hotel and I felt kind of disappointed the closer we got.

"You want to take a walk in Central Park before we go back?" Trent suddenly asks as if he were reading my mind.

I look up to him and smile. "Yeah that sounds great."

He smiles back at me, "good."

We change direction and start heading to the park. "I saw your brother earlier," I say finally. I've been thinking about it the whole night, but didn't want to ruin the night by bringing it up. I couldn't hold back any longer.

Trent tenses and nods stiffly, "Is that so?"

I reach over and grab one of his bandaged hands, tracing the bandage with my fingers. "I hope you put him in enough pain so that maybe he can understand even a piece of how much pain he put me through," I say quietly.

I let go of his hand, but he quickly snatches mine back, interlacing our fingers and squeezing. I look up at him and he looks uncertain. "You're okay with me beating the shit out of him?"

I nod. "He deserved it."

"I still think he deserves more, he deserves to rot in jail for what he did to you."

I know he doesn't want to push me, but I also know how much he truly wants to make him pay. And it makes me nervous that I don't know which he wants more. I don't know if I'm ready yet. It took a lot for me to tell Trent, so telling the world is a whole different thing. And considering Mr. Townes' fame the whole world would know if I decided to go to the authorities.

"I still have to think about it..."

I know he wants to say more, but doesn't want to ruin our night. So instead he asks, "So where are we going from here?"

We enter into Central Park and it's quiet. It's pretty late and the night is only getting colder, so it doesn't surprise me.

"I don't know... I haven't been in a relationship in four years and that was a high school romance, nothing like what I feel for you," I tell him honestly.

Trent leads us to a bench by the water. He doesn't release my hand as we sit side by side. "I haven't been in a relationship in four years either. And you know how that ended," he lets out a dry laugh.

I turn slightly so I can look at him. He stares out into the water, a blank expression on his face. "What do you want Trent? I know you said you don't do relationships and stuff..." I drag off not wanting to mention the love part, I mean it was way too early for that right?

Finally he turns to meet my gaze, his green eyes scan my face, and become softer the longer he looks at me. I study his face as he studies mine. If I really try to look pass the fact that he looks identical to him, I can see subtle differences that I find more and more appealing. Like Trent has a beauty mark on his left cheek, that he doesn't. Also Trent always seems to have a bit of stubble while he is always clean-shaven. Trent's hair is longer and wavy, while his is always slicked back so you couldn't see the waves. It was small differences like these that I looked at more and more each day, to remind myself that they were completely different people and it was okay for me to be falling for Trent...

TRENT'S POV

She was absolutely beautiful. She mesmerized me. It was like every time I looked into those big golden eyes, the more drawn to her I felt, like I was under a spell. She asked me a question, but I was so distracted by her that my thoughts became muddled. I know she said something about how I don't do relationships, but all I can think right now is if she wants one I'm in.
