Heartbeat

18| Blast from the Past

Rosa: I searched up some souvenirs, so if you can, can you bring me a hand woven bag.

Rosa: it says here that it's the one made using tradition wooden weaving looms

Alex: Oh yeah, I think I know what you mean, how about the others?

Lucas: I'm with Savannah, candies would be great

Kellan: Me too, also bring back yourself! It'd be great to see you in one piece

Kaelyn: uhhh, I'll go with the sweets too

Nathaniel: You can try bringing your common sense back

Alex: Nathaniel please......

Rosa: Nathaniel you're acting like a jerk.... she's your girlfriend

Nathaniel: Ha! Girlfriend?! She acts like I'm just a room mate

Kellan: woahhh easy there, shouldn't you be talking to Alex about this.

Alex: I gotta go guys, my row is being called to board, I'll see you guys in three days

Rosa: Ok! Have a safe flight ✈️

Savannah: yup! Stay safe Alex!

I tucked my phone back in my pocket with heavy sigh and boarded the plane.

The heart pumps about 115,000 times each day.

It pumps about 2,000 gallons of blood daily.

It's supposedly the size of a fist in an adult but...

This time....

It feels like it's slowly shrinking, clenching on itself. Making me feel like I've made the worst decision when I know I did the right thing.

I finally sat down on my seat and thankfully I was seated beside a quiet old woman who just stared at the window.

I grabbed my phone from my pocket and I checked my messages only to be disappointed.

He's still leaving me on read.

I felt my heart clench again and then I decided to distract myself by figuring out how to operate the personal tv in front of me.

Gosh I hope the plane food here will be good.

15 hours later.....

Oh thank God we finally landed. I could barely even sleep. Good thing the tv had Big Bang Theory on it, made the flight even better.

I watched as the people finally got out of their seats and I followed grabbing my carry on luggage.

Once we finally left the plane, I felt the hot humid weather of the Philippines hit my body.

I can't believe it, I'm finally home.

Nathaniel's POV

Ha! Oh Nathaniel of course she shuts you out. She even avoids your argument.

Typical. Do I even really wanna be with her? But her smile, her laugh, her witty words..... and her stubborn mind.

Does she even know how to take a compliment? She even brushes off the names I give her!

I can't call her honey.

She loathes babe.

I can't even call her sweetheart!
