Falling For a Geek Charming

Chapter 35 (LAST CHAPTER)

It's been two days since I last saw Nathan after that incident at the party. I'm still numb and hurt right now. Ha. Maybe I deserve this. I deserve this feeling after saying all those words to him. He doesn't deserve it all... I swear.. It still hurts and I don't know why. I want to see him. I want to know how he is right now. I want to know what he is doing at this moment. It's been two days without Nathan bothering me and two days without Nathan's presence. I missed him. Will he ever come back again? Is he going to leave me too because of what I showed him that day? My toxic trait? 

I was walking like a zombie walking to my next class. I barely ate and I couldn't walk straight, but I don't care. 

I stopped and my face suddenly light up when I saw Nathan leaning at the wall like he's waiting for something to arrive. I stare at him. It's really Nathan..! The one I'm searching for as always around the hallway. 

When he notice eyes staring at him, he glance at me and I saw how his eyes light up when he saw me. I widen my eyes when he suddenly walk straight towards me and gave me a sudden hug. I couldn't move, I couldn't speak at all. Something suddenly urge me to hug him back. I missed him so much. I feel comfortable and safe in his arms. I missed him.

"Ria.. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry for what happened that night. I'm sorry if you had to cry like that. Please, forgive me. I'm such an asshole that I had to leave you because of my emotions. I couldn't think straight after that day. I felt like I'm the one who's at fault and I swear I fucking hate to see you like that. Don't do that again, Ria.. The moment James told me what you have been doing these past few days while I'm away makes me fucking hate myself for letting you into that situation. I'm gonna make it up to you, I swear. I'm sorry.." 

I cried in his arms again when I heard him say that. He's so precious to me like a friend and I can't afford to lose him again.. not yet..

"Ria.." He whispered near my ears.

"Hm..?" 

"I sound like an asshole here.. I-- Ria, I.. I want to tell you something." He said with a smile. We both broke the hug and I saw how his eyes are heavy just like mine. Guess he didn't get enough sleep too.

"What is it, Nathan?" I asked.

"Ria.. I think.."

I waited for his answer.

"I think I like you. Fuck, no.. I think I'm in love with you. Since the day we met."
