Break Your Heart, Mend Mine

"I love you so much, I can't stand it anymore. I can't hold back anymore.", he stopped, still looking me in the eyes.

"Uuumh..", so my voice is still there and my mouth can open. But I think I forgot how to speak straight sentences.

He suddenly moved away from me, took a few steps and stood there with his back facing me. I could finally breathe, at last.

"Do you still love him?", he still didn't face me.

"No! ", how can he even imagine that.

"Then do I have a chance?!",

Not really. Maybe? Who am I kidding?

"I... don't know, Walter.",

Well for once you didn't lie. How do you kill your inner voice anyway?

"Okay!", he turned to me, with a smile. "I won't pressure you. I won't force anything. But I won't stop loving you. And I won't stop showing it." He concluded.

"Come!", he put out his hand and I gave him mine. We quietly walked back to the hut.

The sun was now begining to go down and it was getting dark. We reached the hut and just stood there.

Suddenly different coloured lights came on giving the hut a much prettier appearance than before. It was beyond the word beautiful.

Someone would say,get you a guy that does all this for you, knowing full on well he might be rejected but does it anyway. I have him here, and I don't feel so lucky.

"Thank you, Walter.", I turn and face him. He just looks at me and smiles.

We have dinner, in silence.Peaceful silence. There isn't much to say anyway. It would just make things awkward right now.

After dinner we get in the car and start the drive home. The radio was on playing soft music and I was tired.

I took my phone and checked to see what I missed all day. Calls from Trey. Hmh!
Texts from Steph. That's totally normal, I can imagine what they all say.
And a missed call from Clark? And a text. I open the chat quickly and read the text.

C:Call me soon as you can.

What could he possibly want to say to me?

I think I was frowning or something cause I suddenly realize Walter giving me a concerned look.

"Are you okay? ", he asks

"Yeah", I flash him a grin and he lets the topic go, for that, I am glad.

I think I fell asleep somewhere in the middle of the ride because I find myself in Walter's arms carrying me bridal style. He was taking me inside my place.

"Oh boy! I fell asleep hunh!?", I rub my eyes and he just looks at me and smiles.

"Put me down, I can walk you know.", he ignores me, I roll my eyes at him.
"There is no way you'll unlock the door without putting me down so just do it.", I poke his chest.

"Then I'll put you down when we reach the door",

Lord, give me patience.

He does put me down at the door and says goodbye saying he can't go in cause he'll be tempted to stay. So we say goodbye and he leaves.
