The Boy: After (Brahms x OC)

Chapter 8: Love..?

Everything is a mess.

I grabbed my head in despair, Aiza is too calm. Shouldn't she be mad? Instead she just left without saying a word. Something tells me that this isn't normal.

A foreign feeling swept over me, like someone reached into my chest and squeezed my heart. What's this sensation?

The moment that I saw Greta, I felt strangely different from the last time I saw her. It's almost as if something's missing. Shouldn't I love Greta? But then I love Aiza too...What's going on?

I sat on the couch, deep in thought whilst my hand brushed something on the cushions—it's Aiza's novel.

I flipped to her marked spot,

I love you, Eric, but you've got to know that—

My eyes darted to the next line,

Obsession and love are two different things and—

I stopped abruptly, obsession?

The word is like a blade, slicing through all my confusions in my dizzy mind. Am I obsessed with Greta? I lay back on the sofa, yes I am.

I wouldn't want to clean the house for her; I wouldn't want to do learn everything for her just so I can please her. I wouldn't....risk my life for her.

I rubbed my face, Greta is more like a trophy to me; a prize I can't win. Being the competitive person I am, I kept the necklace to remind myself of my lost battle. No, it wasn't that I like her, it's my ego that's chaining her back.

Suddenly everything is clear, Aiza is the person I want to devote my life for. She is the one. Heck, I even disregard my rules for her.

I breathed out a sigh of relief, then sucked it back in when I realized my previous actions.

Aiza must have been mistaken.

Shit

I ran up stair and banged on her door, but before my third "knock", she opened the door herself. "A-" I stuttered, to my surprise, she stepped in and hugged me. "Come" She ordered. And I obeyed.

She pushed me on the bed and jumped in herself, pulled the covers up and snuggled up against me. Confused, I whispered, "Aiza?" She mumbled something inaudible and planted her face on my chest. Seeing her like a little bunny looking for comfort, it melted my heart. I gave her a peck on top of her head and hugged her tight, trapping her with my arms, and eventually I fell asleep as well.

The next day was frankly normal. It's like nothing had happened, but I know it did. Aiza feels different, I have a feeling that she's about to exit my life, and it's making my stand on my toes.

She would look at me with longing eyes, then ask for a hug, which I would immediately obey.

I know she's on to something, but I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt, I trust her. Little did I know I would soon regret that decision.

Aiza asked to sleep alone tonight, saying that she doesn't feel like sharing the bed. I agreed, going back to my cold bedroom. It's been awhile since I've slept here.

I didn't have a terrific night, neither a terrific morning when I open Aiza's door to see an empty bedroom facing me. A low growl escaped my throat, I knew it. She didn't want to hear my explanation because she doesn't need it, she already made up her mind; she broke her promise.

But how naïve of her to think that I won't be able to catch up to her. She tends to forget that even though I was here for an extreme long period of time, I'm still well educated by professionals when I was little. I opened my laptop—a gift I bought online for Aiza as a surprise —and booked a fly to her hometown. I know where she lives; I know everything about her, even her idiotic ex-boyfriend, she has nowhere to escape. I have everything on the palm of my hands.

I buried my face in her pillow, greedily taking in her left-over scent, I miss her already.

I packed some crucial items and went on my way to chase her back. Just wait Aiza, you'll always be mine.
