Heartbreaker (Book 2)//Selena Gomez

Chapter 25. The Apartment

My head is rushing with emotions. Anger, guilt, confusion,hatred but most of all love...

My vision become blurry as I slam door to door running up the stairs.
I could've taken the elevator, but my adrenaline gets to the better of me.

Every step I take brings back a memory. It's as if he is coursing through my veins. Filling me up until I can hardly breath when suddenly.

Door number 10.
My heart rate calms down. I stare at the old rackety door. The paint has worn off but somehow it has a beautiful look to it. The smell of the building still gives of a rustic vibe.

Our apartment. The one we bought. When we were free from everyone and everything. How did I not realise, the one thing I wasn't free from was...him.

My cold hand tremble as I knock on the door.

Who is it?" Kendall asks

His voice soothes me and calms me down.

"...it is, me...Nara." I tremble

A moment of silence is acknowledged. I can hear his breath from the other side of the door. Hesitating to open it.

It's crazy but I wish he wouldn't hesitate and would just open the door and swing me in his arms.
However, this is reality and in reality Kendall opens the door to a weeping Nara.
His face is dismantled in horror from my state. He studies before realising what I wanted. Just like that my expectation become a reality. He come closer and hugs me tightly.

In my brain I know I should pull away but I can't. His body is comforting and I needed him. He holds me close. Before finally letting me go. When I realise my grasp on him. He smirks making me blush.

10 mins later...

I am sitting on our couch. All I can hear is the tingling sound of the teaspoons as he makes tea. The apartment is just the way I left it. Just the way I ran out from it. He hasn't changed a thing.
After all this time... maybe he did mean what he said?

"Here..." he hands me my Tea as I smile saying thank you.

We both sip our tea as I look around. I catch his eyes on me as he continues to study me. It might seem uncomfortable but I enjoyed it. I liked him looking at me. I missed it. But I couldn't keep it going on for long.

So ever so often I would look at him. No smile just look at him and he would look at me. His sad eyes made me want to curl up to him. But when I remember my eyes would drift away.

How could something so beautiful be so destructive?

"Green curtains..." I say after a very long time.

"Huh?" He questions  as I  catch him  off guard.

"You changed the curtains..." I inform

"Oh right, yeah I did. They uh were wearing out so I changed it in case you know you-" He hesitates and smiles taking a sip of his tea

I knew what he wanted to say but he knew how I felt about that.

"Kendall?"

"Yeah?"

What I'm about to do was totally in unplanned but the way my mind was heading I wanted it.

I go up to him and stand in front of him.

Looking straight at him. His face full of confusion.

I look at him in desperation and say...

"Kiss me."
