COLLATERAL CORA

36

Cora

He is leaning on my door frame looking at me.

How come he opened the door without me hearing a sound?

I must be in deep thoughts.

His eyes on me is making me unease again. I should say something right?

"Sir....."

"Why did you run off like that?" He cuts in.

Oh geez I made it so obvious. Everyone there must have noticed.

"I uh..."

"The movie is still playing. Why did you leave?"

I look down avoiding his eyes.

Why is he asking about the movie? I don't even like the movie. That's not the reason I ran out.

"I couldn't stand Mona touching you!"

I didn't say that out.

"I asked you a question Cora"

God my name. He just said my name.

Why does it sound weird coming out of his lips?

"I....I don't like that kind of movie" I stuttered looking at him.

He raise his brows. "What kind do you like then?"

"Dis...Disney cartoons"

He scoffed.

I look down feeling sad, because he is laughing at me.

"Interesting." He said moving away from the door and walk into my room.

The tension I feel whenever we are alone is present and making me so unease.

Why is he here?

He should go back to Mona.

He scanned my room with his eyes as he walked towards me. His hoodie is making him look very handsome and his two hands are his pocket like he is feeling cold.

He is so pretty. 

My heart races anytime I look at him.

His eyes rested on mine again, studying my face.

His brows furrowed.

"Were you crying?"

I shake my head no.

He scoffed. "You suck at lying. Why were you crying?"

"I wasn't."

He hummed as he moved closer to me.

I take a step back.

He made another step and I am about making one back when he grabbed me by the waist, bringing me closer to him and I hit his hard chest. My two hands are on his chest and my eyes are looking up at his.
