DYLAN.
After a lot of thoughts and reluctance. I finally decided to approach Amelia today, I just couldn’t stay away.
I thought I could, but I can’t and it makes me crazy. I was prepared for anything actually.
I won’t be surprised if she decides to not talk to me, or ignore me while walking off. It’ll hurt, but after everything I did to her. I deserved so much and more.
So, I’m in front of her Arts class right now. I’m not an artistic person, so I don’t have any reason to be in this class, I’ve been watching her from the entrance of the class for the last thirty minutes. I just stood there, watching her. There was no way I could leave without actually talking to her as my foot were stuck to the ground.
Maybe I should check myself out, maybe I was actually tied to her. That’s a very weird thought, but I’ll take anything that makes sense at this point.
Finally, after the whole thirty minutes, the class was finally over. I saw the teacher approaching me and I tried to duck but she saw me already.
“You’ve been standing there for a long time now, are you okay?” She asked me and I scratched my head.
Not sure what excuse I wanted to give.
“Yes, I’m definitely okay.” I replied her and she looked at me weirdly.
“Do you want to maybe, join my art class and you don’t know how to tell me?” She asked me and I shook my head, definitely no.
Far from it, but I didn’t tell her that.
“Nope, I’m good. I was just waiting for a friend.” I told her and looked behind her to see Amelia stand up from her sit.
“Talking about my friend, she’s about to leave. Thanks once again for the concern.” I said and adjusted my bag over my shoulder as I ran to catch up to Amelia who was already walking out of the class with Ava.
Oh lord, do not let this go left. I muttered silently.
“Amelia.” I called, but she didn’t hear at first. Or maybe she did but didn’t want to answer. She was still mad at me.
“Amelia.” I called again, louder this time and she finally stopped, my heart was beating rapidly against my rib cage. Pounding wildly.
But I tried my best to stay expressionless as usual and just stare at her. I watched her turn slowly, she knew it was me.
She didn’t look surprised when her eyes met mine and she didn’t look disgusted as well. Maybe that’s progress. I thought.
Her friend Ava also stopped, but I wasn’t here for her.
I looked at Amelia and got closer to her.
“Could I talk to you for a second, please?” I asked her and counted one to five in my head consecutively.
Waiting for her to say no. Or hiss and walk away from me, but I think the Lord answered my prayers because she looked to Ava and Ava smiled slightly at her with a teasing gaze.
“I’ll meet you at the library.” She said to Ava who gave a charming smile.
“Okay, take your time.” Ava said and Amelia’s eyes widened in panic. I could tell by the way she looked at Ava’s retreating figure she clearly wanted to kill her.
“You can look at me, Amelia.” I said when I noticed that she was taking too long to turn her gaze to me.
She probably didn’t want to talk to me.
“What do you want, Dylan?” She asked me, her voice didn’t sound harsh or anything. It just sounded tired or more of being uninterested in this conversation.
“I want to talk. Can we go to somewhere more private?” I asked her.
“To talk?” She asked and I nodded.
“Yes, I don’t know if you’ve noticed but we are standing in the hallway and students are moving around. I know you won’t be comfortable standing here too long.” I said, because I knew that she didn’t do well in public spaces.
I knew her too well.
I saw a soft emotion flicker through her eyes, but it left too soon.
I sighed as she started walking ahead of me. I breathed in relief when I saw that she was going with me.
This was just the start. I thought as I followed her, this was a serious situation and I tried not to look at her body, she was so soft and round in all the right places.
Fuck, I had to focus. I have more serious thoughts to attend to.
I couldn’t help it though, not when every skin on her body jiggled as she walked. I blew out a breath and decided that I should just keep my gaze on the back of her head.
I shouldn’t have blue balls while trying to apologize for hurting her, that would be downright bad.
We finally got to the quiet place that the both of us used to come to spend quality time together anytime she got bullied by Valerie. I was surprised that she would want to come here actually. This place had a lot of memories for the both of us.
And I didn’t know she would feel comfortable talking in this place.
It was a place where students least visited. A big tree with pink petals that had cemented chairs under it.
She went ahead and sat down on it then I sat beside her. As far away as possible because I wasn’t sure that she would love to have me so close to her.
I sat down and breathed in her scent. I’ve always loved how she smelled, rose and strawberries.
It was a very distinct smell and I loved it, I missed her for this. For a moment, the both of us were in our world’s. Sitting down and watching nature do its thing in front of us. I have always enjoyed her presence. It was soothing.
But I knew I would have to start talking soon, I didn’t want her to feel like I came here to waste her time so I looked at her.
For a second, I was blown away by how pretty she was. Again.
This happened all the time.
I just stared at her, like I won’t see her face again.
“Dylan, what do you want to talk to me about? We’ve been sitting here since the past three minutes.” She asked me and I sighed.
“Is it okay to say that I want you back?” I asked without skipping a beat.
