Hacking into my Hyper-linked Heart

Chapter 24- A Beautiful Moment

This was the place I made the decision to do something with my life, just looking over the city below made me believe in myself. I know it sounds weird but sitting here makes me feel like a bird, sitting so high up and looking down at the buildings below, it makes me feel wild and free. I felt myself relaxing but the tears wouldn't stop falling. I didn't try to stop them I decided to cry my heart out so it would make me feel better.

"Wow you run fast for a girl." I heard someone puffing behind me. I looked back in shock to see Ethan trying to catch his breath; I quickly wiped my tears away ensuring Ethan didn't know I was crying. "I mean you were wearing them heels I expected you to run slow but I guess I was wrong." He nodded towards my heels. I stared at him for a few seconds, he expected me to reply but all I did was turn around and stare at the city lights. I felt a bit annoyed that he followed me to this little secret place, which was supposed to be for me only I didn't want to share this with anyone. I just wanted to be alone that's why I ran here but he had to follow me.

He sat next to me and looked ahead, "Wow! What a beautiful view."

"What are you doing here?" I asked annoyed.

"Just came for the view." He said innocently.

I whipped my face towards him and glared at him as I spat out the words. "Why did you follow me?"

He turned to face me, "I just wanted to make sure you were okay." He spoke softly.

"I'm fine you can go now." I growled.

"I'm not leaving without you."

"Why not? I just want to be left alone."

"I am not leaving you in the middle of nowhere at this time of the evening."

"I want to be alone." I said in frustration.

"No."

"You are so annoying."

"Thanks."

I rolled my eyes, "It's not a compliment."

"Well if it's coming from you I shall take it as a compliment."

"Even if I call you a jerk?" I asked.

He nodded his head.

"D***head?"

"Aren't you pushing it a bit? I mean I am your boss." He raised his eyebrow at me.

"To be honest I don't care right now." I stated as I looked away from him and focused on the view.

He didn't utter a word; we sat in a comfortable silence for some time as we sat there side by side. I don't know how long we sat there peacefully, but I wanted to ask something that kept knocking in my head. "After what you witnessed tonight do you think I am a fool for believing in something like that?" I asked carefully.

"No I don't."

I nodded my head in response as I felt a tear trail down my cheek. I just couldn't believe that my mother and Holly would embarrass me like that in front of Ethan. I'm sure he is saying that to make me feel better but honestly I feel worse.

What chance do I have with him now? Okay let's ignore that, I never had a chance with him. Look at him: he is handsome, a billionaire, so many girls throw themselves at him (yes I have witnessed this with my own two eyes) and what about the girl I saw him with in the bar? He did say he didn't have a girlfriend, does that mean he indulges himself in one night stands?

"Argh why do I care?" I snapped at myself because my stupid brain is making me think of stupid things.

"Care about what?" Ethan asked confused. At that moment I realised I spoke them words out loud.
