“If you take those out, what am I supposed to eat?” I ask.
“What I can afford,” she retorts sharply.
Damn, she turns into a little beast when it comes to her savings.
“I'll pay you back, but not today. Maybe not even tomorrow,” I scratch my head, thinking that it will take some time for Dan's anger to go away.
“Thanks,” she snatches the bag, and I swiftly grab it from her hand on the way out.
“Don't be mad, alright?” I gulp, feeling uneasy seeing her frustrated expression.
“You've totally bankrupted me,” she complains, and we make our way back to the park, where we share a sandwich and some Cheetos.
“I'll make it right, I promise,” I offer her a Twix bar, and she leans in, playfully taking it between her lips.
“You better,” she grumbles, and I can't help but avoid her gaze, unable to shake off the memory of what happened earlier.
Stop with these inappropriate thoughts, you idiot! I think to myself, unable to tear my eyes away from her lips wrapped around the Twix.
I swallow hard, and suddenly, a coughing fit jolts through my chest.
Rebecca jumps up, frantically patting my back.
“Are you feeling better?” She unscrews a water bottle, and her caring gesture makes me feel uneasy.
No one ever takes care of me. I don't know what it's like, but when it's coming from her, it's like an overwhelming surge, pushing my emotions to an unbearable high. I can't handle it with Rebecca. I prefer to refrain from opening up, but a flicker of fear sparks within my soul.
Would that idiot Masse keep his distance if Rebecca were with me? I wonder, my gaze fixated on her with curiosity. Then, my eyes land on her soft, rosy lips, revealing a glimpse of her bunny front teeth.
“Can I crash at your place tonight?” I blurt out unexpectedly.
She looks at me, shocked, and for a few moments, she delays her response.
Was that too much?
“Alright, but you'll have to sneak in through the window and leave before my parents wake up,” she finally answers.
“I promise,” I assure her.
“And you'll sleep on the floor,” she adds.
“I wouldn't have it any other way.”
I'm lying! At this very moment, I can't help but imagine what it would be like to share a bed. It's been ages since we did that in our childhood.
I miss those times when being close was easy.
Now, it feels like there are walls between us, and if I were to break just one, I can't help but wonder how much it would hurt.
I yearn to break... even just one.
I long to feel something.
Anything.
I'm tired of feeling so hollow.
The thought of how it would feel to hold Rebecca in my arms becomes increasingly tempting.
