Guess who's 17 today? 💃.

LOREN'S POINT OF VIEW.

"I love you." My heart skipped a beat, while processing his words.

I stared right into his eyes, my heart hurts just staring at the admiration in his eyes.

I tried not to let the incoming tear drop but its hard just staring at the expectation in his expression.

I bit my lips in a stupid attempt to ensure that I don't say something stupid, silence filled the room.

He broke the stare, the smile that was once on his face disappeared slowly, breaking my heart.

What's wrong with you Loren?

I finally moved, I slowly placed my arms around his neck, lifting my feet up a little bit, staring directly into his eyes.

I leaned in placing my lips on his, he didn't move for a second, my heart beating hard as my closed my eyes, he soon puts his hand around my waist.

Opening his mouth, our lips moved in a sync, my tongue welcomed the taste of red wine and a fading taste of mint.

We passionately kissed but suddenly Ace withdraws, I opened my eyes, breathing out.

I smirked pushing him on the couch, I removed my towel before slowly climbing on him.

His eyes fixated on me, I slowly placed my lips on his, this is was more gentle as I felt his hands on my butt.

Ace withdraw once again, he gently pushed me off his body. I stared at him flabbergasted, I shamefully picked up my towel covering my swimsuit as he stood up from the couch.

"I should go." I didn't fail to see the hurt in his expression and eyes as he scoffed.

He walks away, each step my heart breaking.

"Ace." I stupidly called out, he turns around.

I really want to, I want to tell him just how I feel, how crazy I am over him, I want to say those words but I ended up saying...

"T- thank you for g- gift." I stuttered, he nodded before opening the door, slamming it hard behind him.

Tears that have been holding finally came rolling down, like my entire whole just crashed.

Why am I even crying?

"Is that Ace? I have no ride back home." I didn't bother replying Edwin, he runs after Ace.

I tried cleaning my face but it's no use the tears won't stop rolling down.

"Loren?" I heard Gemma's voice close to me, soon realising she's seated on the couch with me.

"Are you okay?" She said softly, I badly want to say I'm okay but I'm tired of keeping my shit in.

"No." I chocked out as she hugs me tightly.

"What happened?" She whispered cautiously as if she speaks higher than that, I'll finally lose it.

"Ace said the L word." I released her, cleaning my face, gaining my voice.

"That's..." Gemma stops not being able to say anything further.

"Look, if you don't feel the same way, you don't have to beat yourself up or feel guilty, he's..." I interrupted her.

"I do, I do love him." I confessed.

"Then what's the problem?"

"I just can't say it, I don't know why but I tried showing him how I felt but he got mad." He probably thinks I was trying to avoid the talk.
