Begin Again [One Last Cry Sequel] [EDITING]

Part X

My parents left after lunch, and that leaves me alone with Clark. We were standing in the doorway and staring at each other for a minute now. I had to break from the stares because the longer I return his stares, the more I recall what happened between us last night.

"I-I'll just go to my room and sleep." I uttered and started walking away from him, but before I could leave, he already caught my arm in an instant.

He's so fast. Damn it.

"Freya..." Gosh! He's not even saying anything other than my name, but my hearts already beating erratically.

I swallowed the lump in my throat, and look at him with all the strenght and confidence that I could muster.

"W-why?" Stop stuttering Freya!

"Let's talk." He uttered.

I wasn't saying anything yet, but I just found myself being dragged by him in..... my room? Oh my gosh! No!

I promptly stopped walking and that made him look at me.

"Where are you taking me?" I anxiously asked.

I feel like I am starting to have trauma or whatever it is about being with him in the same room... alone.

"To your room." He plainly replied like it was nothing!

Or maybe I was the only one making a big deal out of it?

He didn't even let me speak after that and dragged me again until we reached my room.

I ran to my bed and cover myself with my blanket.

"Please leave, I'm sleepy." I lied. I was still under my blanket that's why I had no idea if he's looking at me or not.

I din't hear any movement but before I could protest, he was already on top of me and pinning both my arms beside my head.

Oh my gosh. He was fast! How could he do that? I was just under my blanket a moment ago and now my blanket's already on the floor and he's now on top of me.

"I said let's talk. Why are you avoiding me? Was it about last night?" He asked while staring at me.

I could feel my cheeks turning red. I couldn't speak a word or think clearly. The proximity was too much. I unconsciously bit my lower lip and that made him glance at my lips. Wrong move Freya Cassandra Zyford.

"U-uh.. this is awkward." I managed to say. I could feel the room temperature changing again. Like the last night.....

"You're awkward. Stop avoiding me Freya. I don't like it." He stated whilst staring straight into my eyes.

"I'm sorry that I crossed the line, and you didn't like it, but I'm not sorry that I like you. I like you so much, so please stop avoiding me. I'm not forcing you to reciprocate my feelings. I just want you around, that's more than enough for me." He stated.

I was lost for words after what he said. I was just staring in his eyes hoping I could read his soul. I couldn't contemplate of anything to reply with what he said.

"Just stay with me even if you only want me to be your friend. I'd take that than nothing."

"W-why? Why do you like me?" I asked.

"Do I need to have reason? I honestly don't know... the first time that I saw you in the campus a year ago, you already caught my attention. There's something about you that's making me want to get close." He answered.

"A year ago?" I asked again. Confusion's taking over me now.

He nodded his head and smiled a little. That little smile almost took my breath away.

"Yes. I actually know you before we even met here in your place. I have known you since last year, but I didn't know that you're the daughter of my Mom's friend, and that I'll get to be with you under this roof." His smiles widened, and damn it was so much for me to take.

"You're just really off and distant and that made me want to know you more. I wonder... why are you so afraid fo get close to anyone?"

I tried to break from his hold and good thing he finally let go of my arms, but he's still on top of me. Is he testing my patience or what? Gosh this guy.

"I'm just scared to trust again." I began.

He opened up to me last night, so I reckon I should return the favor.

"I fell in love with my best friend. That was my biggest mistake. He fell for me too. But there's a saying that betrayal doesn't come from the people we don't know, but from the people we trust and value the most." My eyes started to get wet.

Telling your story to someone after a long time of keeping it all to yourself even when it's suffocating you is not easy.

"He became my boyfriend, but he cheated on me." I faked a laugh.

"That girl that we saw in the supermarket? that's her. Justin cheated on me for her." I added.

"I-I'm sorry." He said... "I shouldn't have pushed you that day. You really have all the reasons to be mad at me."

"It's okay. I'm better now. But those two really had a huge impact on me. I became distant, and close to the possibility of making friends and meeting new people." I stared at his eyes and gently caressed his face...

"But thanks to you. I now open myself to that possibility after a long time of holding back." I don't know what I'm doing. Maybe because of my raging emotion that's why I'm doing things beyond my control.

We stared at each other as though our eyes would speak for us. My heart's beating swiftly. Maybe he could hear it. I never knew silence could be this loud.

He slowly lowered his head until his lips touched mine. I could taste him just by the mere touching of our lips. He was so gentle. He was so careful whilst kissing me as though he was afraid he'd hurt me. It was the kiss I didn't want to stop.

The kiss deepened and the room suddenly felt hot. He pulled away for a moment to take off his shirt and claimed my lips again.

This is wrong, but it feels so right. My emotions taking over me again, and I couldn't stop. I want more of him. I want him. Maybe I really do from the moment he admitted that he likes me, but I was too frightened to try, so I ended up denying it to myself.

But what's the point of denying my feelings when my actions speak otherwise? How could I tell him to back off when all I wanted now was to be near him, hold him, and kiss him.

His kiss travelled down my neck and I felt his tongue nibbling my collarbone. I bit my lower lip from the sensation it was giving me.

Where is this feeling taking me?
