Trapped Words

Chapter 40: The Sign

James' POV:

I can see the pain through her lovely eyes that was now crying because of what she have realized. I can see the fire burning in her eyes. Like it was terribly hurt which was obviously true and the worse was, it was me the reason behind it. I want to hug her so tight than I could ever do,but all I can do is to hold her hand tightly. I don't know why I felt this way, but I can't tame myself not to. It was more likely a law of gravity. Throwing an object into the midair but failed to. It always end up falling over and over again. I don't know if this law really explains everything that I felt. But I guess,science can't really explain it.

" babe " I utter a sound and she dart her eyes into mine. Her eyes expresses something like it was telling me a sign of "okay"

" It's okay James, umm.. "  She says as she wipes her tears away,catching her breath.

" No, look, I'm - I'm really sorry okay. " I say as I try to hug her this time and I did.

" No, it's really okay "  she say giving off from the hug. She runs her finger through her hair as she stand up from her seat and so I did the same. I grab her wrist and pull her closer to me. She cries so hard and her tears were now soaking my shirt. I pat her back and put my hands on her shoulder as I gesture for her to face me.

" Babe, look at me. Please.. " I say and I clear my throat.

" I promise. I.Will.Be.Back " I say,pausing at my words. My chest were now pounding so hard and fast.

" Okay? "

" okay. " she say.

" okay, you'll be back " she adds,trying to convince herself as she wipes her tears away.

I hear footsteps and I see Belle standing at the door as she slowly closes behind it. She looks at me, week us, and she looks surprised of what she saw. Her stares seems so odd and it makes me feel uncomfortable and awkward.

" Whoa. " is all she can say as she walk towards me and Eleanor.

" What happened? " she ask.

" am I breaking your moment? "  she adds as she dart her eyes into mine.

" Umm. Nothing. " I say, afraid of stuttering.

" Oh, I guess you two were ready to go? Aren't you? " she ask and Eleanor looks at me with her eyebrow arch.

" She knows that we're going to? " she ask and I give her a nod.

" so, we're going to pack our things up? "  I ask.

" O - okay. " she say and she smiles at me. We pack our things and I also pack mine. I pack sunglasses,boxer shorts, and my tee's and luckily it suits well on my bag.

" Ready? " I ask, hanging my bag on my shoulder.

" Ready " Belle and Eleanor says in unison. I grab my phone in the table and text my college friends.

To many,

Hey guys! Let's have some fun! A sort of reunion or something. I'll send you the place or the resorts name later. Just text me if you could come so that I could order a bigger room or chalet for us. Okay? "

I take a seat on a comfy bed and I take my shoes off and place it beside the small drawer. I glance at Eleanor who was busy unpacking her things. Belle was on her bed,scrolling on her phone as usual. I stand up from the bed and take a look outside.

The warm heat of the sun touches my skin. The feeling that the sun gives me was so odd. I can see the blue ocean and people who were happily swimming on it. I get back inside abd get ready for my swim wear.
