CHASING SUNRISE

Chapter 19: Trust

Aeon starts tormenting my thoughts. I have been tossing and turning in my bed for a whole two hours now. The heartbeat is so strong that I can hear it. I struggle for years to be at my current state, yet its only five months since we met again, and the turn of events seems to be getting the way we used to be.

I'm scared. I felt happy when I'm with him but at the same time I hate him. I'm not prepared to be hurt again. But his kisses make me want to forget everything. I know I need to stop. But how? I'm trying my best to avoid him, yet he is so persistent, or should I blame fate?

The card I receive the next day, attached from the tulip says, "Very soon..." Creepy but I'm also curious. I hope I can meet someone who will interest me, perhaps I'll be able to forget him, and I'm looking forward to meet this anonymous sender.

Friday came, its' another Edward home court game, I promised to be there for him. Lance decline to join me because of his babies. Wearing his Jersey, I went there with a proud smile on my face. Only to find out that a surprised is waiting for me.

How could you this this to me Lance? A pout can be seen on my face from annoyance.

Hahaha! Well, I wanted to surprise you.

Woahh! I didn't know watching football live, can this overwhelming than on TV. Matt excitedly announced.

Let's do this more often Matt. I'll ask Maika next time. Bern added.

Don't be surprised Celine, we asked Lance a favor. Sensing the questions in my eyes, Chris explained.

Okay. Hahaha!

I wanted to see how great Edward is. Aeon whispers on me, then smirked.

Great, Edward happened to waved at me at the same when Aeon's whispers, and he witness everything. Oh boy, his face is not very happy. I waved back at him to let him know I'm here.

I was seated between Lance and Aeon. It is a great game. However, Ed is having a rough play today. He went immediately to us after they won the match against their rival team, Giants.

Congratulations Ed. Still good as always. Lance greeted him.

Congratulations man! You're are so amazing. I'll be watching your games again. Matt sincerely said.

Congratulations Ed. Bern said.

Congrats Ed! This time it was Chris.

Congratulations Edward. You never changed. Great as ever. Aeon said.

Sorry Celine, no air time today. Apologetic, Ed smiled at me.

Hey, no worries. I'm still proud of you Ed. Congratulations. Then I hug him.

We'll talk. He whispers to me, but still smiling. His voice is so cold and eerie. Oh crap!

Yah! Hahaha! Then I wink at him, to cheer him up.

Love you. I'll catch up tomorrow. Take care. Don't forget to call me. Bye.

Love you too. Bye.

Then he went to join his teammates. It pained me to see him like this. We seldom fight, and the longest one we had was when I left him for Aberdeen. He's right we need to talk.

Since I went at the stadium alone, someone from these guys needs to drive me home. Lance came here with Matt and Bern, while Chris went here directly from his work using his own car, same with Aeon, and the first two directly rejected me as they need to be somewhere else. Aeon is my only choice. They must plan it again. His grin cannot be whip from his face when I was already inside his car, as he drove me back to my apartment.
