Cassy
I was caught off guard after hearing the words that Ellis said.
I have never been in love. I never knew how it was to hold someone's hand while walking down the streets. I didn't know how looking forward to seeing someone felt. I never got to experience having the worry to buy a gift for his birthday.
I never felt the rush whenever he said he loved me. I never had someone who would hold me because I was trembling in fear. No one caressed my cheeks and looked at me like I was the only person in this world. And on top of that, I never knew how loving someone felt.
I didn't realize I was looking directly at Ellis while thinking about what he asked me,
"You don't need to answer it if you're uncomfortable. I'm sorry, I guess that was too forward." He looked away,
"Oh, uhm. It's not that I'm uncomfortable or some sort. It's just that I haven't had much experience on that field yet." I bit my lip.
"Really?? You haven't dated before?" he widened his eyes as I shook my head.
"I haven't had any, in the least."
"How about you?" I passed the question,
"I had several relationships but only one was serious—and that was ages ago." He responded.
"I see, but.." I trailed off, "Don't you like date the person or enter a relationship because you're investing feelings? You enter a relationship only when your feelings are valid, right?" I asked.
"It's called dating for a reason and you enter a relationship in order to know if that person is the one." He implied. I was about to open my mouth to ask him about his serious relationship but I stopped midway. He might not be comfortable if I ask him that.
"Anyway, this novel is really good." I commented, shifting the topic.
"I know, it's amazing." He agreed,
"And it's written by.." I paused to look for the author's name, "Dinah Green, hmm. She's new, isn't she?" I looked at Ellis as he nodded.
"It's her debut novel actually,"
"Wow! That's amazing! Blue Ribbon is a big company too. It's surprising to know, really." I acknowledged. It was surprising to know, really. At least, there's one that cares truly for the essence. Then, why do I always end up choosing the wrong ones?
"You busy today?" Ellis asked.
