Chapter 35: Are you okay?

Hello Readers! Welcome back! On the last chapter, Alex slapped Anna when she lost her sanity. Now that she got her sanity and her senses back,Alex just confessed his feelings for her.. Oh my goodness. Let's continue..

(Next morning..)

" Where is it? .." Alex asked himself as he bend down trying to find for the ring.. With the sunlight, it was easier for him to manovre around the slope. He couldn't go all the way down, but he went the furthest he could, trying to find Anna's ring. Although he doesn't know what it looked like, but hey, not everybody drops their ring here right?
He stood up, biting his lips as the sun scorched down on him. He have been here for the past hour, but he was nowhere near in finding any ring.

(Flashback..)

" I don't know.." Anna answered looking away.

" I don't expect you to.." He continued holding on to both her hands tightly in his ..

" Can I ask you something though?" He used his fingers to lift her chin up, to look in to her confused eyes.

" Will you ever give me a chance?" He asked, full of nothing but sincerity. After two years, two years of crushing on this girl, finally, the secret is out! He finally confessed.. He felt as though a stone has been taken off his chest.. But the moment that stone left, another stone came pressing on him.. Will she accept him? Does she have feelings for him? He thought about it.. It's weird to date his brother's ex girlfriend but Alex liked her first. Liam didn't give her anything but pain and suffering since they dated. Plus, his brother did give them their blessing. It won't be that bad, right??

" I don't know .." She shrugged.. Her head and heart are all in a mess.. She was feeling so giddy right now!

" Do you still love my brother?" He asked again..

" I don't know.." She released her hands from his as she cupped her face with it.. Oh, the pressure..

" Anna.. are you okay?" He started to get worried.. Did he scare her?

" I don't know.." She released her hands and stood up. Everything was happening so fast. She needs time to digest what had happened today. Her ex was getting married with someone else soon after they broke up. Her ring got thrown by her ex's fiancée and now, her best friend just confessed to her.. It was too much for her to comprehend the situation right now.

" Babe.. You have to give me more than that.." He stood up with her, watching her as she started to pace about..

" You.. Liam.. Feelings.. Me?" Alex couldn't understand her. He tried to fix those words together but it doesn't make any sense to him..

" I think you should leave.. It's too much for me now.." She made her way to her room, closing the door. She took a deep breath as she slid her way to the floor, sitting on the floor. Her back pressed against the door. Oh dear..

(Flashback ends..)

He took off the cap that he was wearing, scratching the back of his head.. This was impossible to find.. He was about to start his search for her ring again but a familiar ringtone and vibration was heard and felt in his back pocket. He stood up and took his phone out of his pocket, sliding to answer..

" Hello?" He answered, as he continued looking around for the ring..

" Hey Alex... Aaron and Lilia misses you... Can you come over today?" His Aunt Janice spoke on the other line.. Oh boy, another tiring babysitting day. Don't get him wrong, even though those monkeys drained his energy, he still do love them a lot..
