I've been catching feelings over you,
And I hope you catch them too.
I hope you catch them too.
And I've been going crazy over you.
I hope you're crazy too.....

For this chapter, listen to feelings by lauv.

There was an ache that came and went, always returning in quiet moments. If I stopped to dwell for even a fraction of a second, my face was wet with tears. They rolled silently into my cracked lips, salty and cold.

I missed her so much.... Yes, I meant Xhey. I tried a lot of things to get her off my mind, but nothing seemed to work at all. I just kept remembering those fucking beautiful eyes of hers. Those eyes that were every shade of brown you could imagine. A raw umber and caramel mix, dotted with bits of dark chocolate. They glowered with humor and playfulness that gave you shivers and wrapped you in a warm embrace at the same time.

God.... Why did I do that? Why? Why did I seduce her that night we went out bowling? That was so fucking stupid of me. I knew she was straight but I went ahead and did that.

But I liked her. There was that tingling feeling I got when I was around her. And trust me, I didn't want that feeling to stop... that's why I tried so hard to get close to her. I wanted her to fall for me, just like how I was falling for her.

However much she ignored my messages for the past few weeks, I didn't give up. Yeah it hurt, but I was not faint hearted. I gathered back my courage, grabbed my phone from the duvet and texted her.

"Can we at least meet up and talk?"

I thought for a moment before sending the message. No, I had to add something to my words. I continued texting.

"How long are you gonna keep pushing me away? I want you to say straight to my face that you don't want to be my friend."

I gasped after sending my text. I knew she would ignore it just like how she did to all my previous ones, but I still sent it anyway.

I sniffled my tears in and threw my phone back on the duvet. I didn't deserve this. Being ignored... but she still did it. I buried myself inside the duvet and tried to sleep the pain... but it wasn't working. I grabbed my phone again and checked if she had texted me, but she hadn't.

Fuck You Xhey. I don't deserve this. I.... my phone vibrated. I hurriedly swiped it open and it was Xhey. The butterflies in my stomach started erupting. Finally.

I read her text.

"Hi. I hope you're doing fine."

I smiled at her text and immediately texted her back. "Yes I am. How about you?"

God I wish she could continue with this funny conversation because it was making me blush. Lol.

She replied and I smiled.

"I'm good. I miss you Kiana, and I'm so sorry for what I did. The ignoring you and all🥺"

I couldn't help but smile so hard. She missed me too. Damn. So the conversation flowed like this.
