People I Don't Know

A trouble

"Hey!" Suddenly he sounded serious. "I'm serious, I like you. Get that shit inside your head." He said with a serious tone.

"Shane! Just stop kidding." I said and laughed just to show him I'm not worrying but the truth is I'm worrying.

"I'm not kidding babe." He said.

"Are you drunk?" I scoffed.

"I'll come over and show you." He said and I widened my eyes.

"No... No thanks, I'm... I'm busy." I stumbled. I heard him chuckle.

"Whatever! Stay away from Erin." He said.

What is everyone's problem? I groaned inside my mind.

"Wanna come out for a ride?" He offered as I stayed mute.

"I've to sleep." I sniffed.

"Soooo early?" He doubted. I said nothing, I don't know what to say. I felt like he's a dangerously bad guy, trouble and he can do anything anytime.

"Do you like him?" He suddenly asked me in a low voice breaking the silence.

"Erin?" I mumbled.

"Yeh! Are you dating?" He added another question, he sounded a little curious.

"No we are not dating, I'm not dating anyone." I raised my voice.

"Mm.. that's what I wanted to know." I heard him say while I was busy staring at the walls.

"But.. I like.." I tried to say I like Erin but I guess he's not ready to hear it. He cut me in the middle.

"I'll call you some other time. Good night for now." He said and ended the call.

I stared at my phone as the call ended.

**********

Later I ignored all his calls, I ignored Colin, almost everyone expect Erin. A week passed, I spent most of my time at Erin's place. I liked it, his presence.

I still don't know what he feels about me, he didn't say anything. He kept me in confusion. He never confessed his feelings. But what should I say...

I'm in love with this chaos!

I love his sweet smile,
I love his arrogant glare,
I love his rough voice,
I love his tempting touch,
I love his cold ignorance.

I'm attracted to him in a way that I can't explain.

My heart skips a beat whenever he looks at me, my knees weaken whenever he touches me, he makes me feel crazier.

I still don't know him, I'm slowly getting to know him.

The one thing I noticed all these days is, he misses his family. He feels alone, he's typically a sad bad boy but acts like everything is fine. He desperately needs company but I don't know what's stopping him.

Something is bothering him that's for sure. Something that I may regret after knowing, something that I shouldn't know, something he doesn't want to share, something that could break us apart.

My exams started, I'm doing well as always. And I found a secret that Erin never failed in any exam. He's lying, for him it was an excuse to spend time with me. I should feel angry knowing the truth but I didn't. I didn't tell him that I found his secret. I tried my best to make him believe that I still don't know the truth. It was fun.
