Being Enthralling

16.Why?

"What the fuck are you doing at MY HOME?!" I asked, gritting my teeth together.

"Hello to you too Love."

I scowled at the response and get inside the house. Shutting the door with a bang I once again threw my death glare at the unwanted guest and dropped the groceries on the dining table.

"I won't hesitate to snap your neck, so you better start talking." I say, cracking my knuckles to appear intimidating. 

"You've blocked my number and thanks to Max my landline number too.

Then I thought I might use social media to contact you but you've blocked me from Facebook, Twitter........and about Instagram last week I got a notification of you liking one of my old pictures as far as I remember it must be..... I guess 41 old week picture? Whatever it is the point is clear that you were stalking me.

The moment I got the notification I went to your account to send you a message but by the time you blocked me.

I don't know what you expect me to do, you had left me no option but to come to your home.

The reason why I'm here is,

I just want to know Why? Why would you try to reconnect with me again? Do you still have feelings for me that's why you're doing this? If yes then why didn't you tried 4 years ago......why now?"

All the raging thoughts I had been gone for a moment because I know how exactly he is feeling right now because he made me feel the same.

"Uh-huh!  Got the taste of your medicine Scott?" My reply triggered him because whatever composed look he had is gone.

Now he looks furious. However, he masks his expression quickly, and pacing the room he stops right in front of me and puts his right hand on my shoulder hesitantly.

"You won't heal your wounds if you're still living in past." He says gently.

I was quiet for a moment staring at his eyes.

The eyes gave me comfort once.

"What if ghosts from the past are still haunting me?" I mumbled.

His face softened, his brows furrowed he had that expression when he's trying to figure out something then his eyes widened as if he got his answers "Is Derek bothering you again?"

Before I could say anything Mom's voice interrupted me. "Scott, why don't you take a seat by the time I'll make you some coffee." Then she looked at me and said "Honey would you mind coming in for a sec." I nodded and went into the kitchen with her.

"Okay, so why is your teenage love in our house?"

"He is my partner in the volunteering event."

"Why are you stalking him?"

"Mommy you shouldn't eavesdrop on us!"

"Oh believe me you two were so loud that even our neighbors might know that you're still not over of him"

"I'm not in Love!"

"I'm not saying you're in love. Whatever hormonal emotions you had for him still affect you.
No.. no, don't give me that look you should have seen yourself when you were looking at him.
You look at chicken nuggets in the same way."

After bickering with my mother for more than 10 minutes I took 2 mugs of coffee and went to Scott.

"Here" I gave the mug to him and asked him to come to the backyard.

We took our seats and were looking at the pond which is in my backyard. For few minutes neither of us uttered a word. Finally, I broke the silence "When I requested to switch partners I didn't know I'll get you as the partner."

"I saw Derek in that meeting but didn't realize that he has something to do in this."

"He requested to be my partner he was my partner that's why I chose you."

"Oh, so this is the reason.

Did he tried to do something ....to harm you?"

"Not yet, I don't know but I have a feeling he might do something."

A few minutes later Scott put his hand on my shoulder and said in a promising tone "He won't do anything under my watch don't worry."

The more I look into his eyes the more I'm getting uncomfortable.

Because this is exactly what I fear.What if again I'll get all those feelings for him back?

I'm still unsure.
