StarNovelAIDEN Slowly, I sat up as I returned from the heavenly that filledwith the feeling of having Ana in my arms. My mind was a fog that refused to clear up as I stared at the door she had fled out of and slammed close.
I had desperately wanted our reconciliation, I wanted our love to blossom again but not this way. Not that I didn't like what just happened. I loved every bit of it. I wished she hadn't freaked out and ran out but I wanted us to slowly patch things back up. To make her understand that it had all been a grave misunderstanding. To show her that I would never have betrayed her in such a cheap manner. Perhaps, I would even play the voice recording for her.
When I felt a presence aroundthen felt someone touch my face and opened my eyes, I was shocked to see her. Up till she dug her fingers in my hair and kissedback, I was convinced that I was dreaming.
When I saw her in front of my face, wide-eyed, still high from the excitement of being in the sroom with her, I hadn't been able to stop myself. At that moment, it felt like, if I didn't kiss her, I might die.

She probably wanted space from now on. She wanted nothing to do with the betraying ex boyfriend who tried to take advantage of her again.
I sighed. I would just wait to the next morning.
*** The next morning, after a quick shower, I went in search of her. When I reached her room, stopping in front of the doorway and scanning the entire space with my eyes, she wasn't there. The room was being cleaned and fixed.

"Thanks, man," I said as I took a long swig of the refreshing water.
"You know," the guy started hesitatingly. I turned to him, still struck by the familiarity I felt. I had concluded that he looked like his father but there was still something about him that I couldn't place my finger on. "Con, man. What's up?" He cleared his throat, uncomfortably. "After we departed last night, I remembered where I know you from." I raised my brows as I screwed the cap of the bottle back on. "Con, humor me," I slapped him on his biceps.
He smiled shyly and I realized that he was quite younger than I had thought when I saw him last night. "You remember a lanky short boy you beat up and threatened years ago?" He asked with an arched brow.
