Ain't Your Regular Girlfriend

"I want you gone before I come back," I said as he tossed me the towel, that was lying beside him. I quickly wrapped it around myself and made way to the closest and came out dressed in pajamas ready for bed.

I ignored the dude who still didn't want to leave, I won't lie that I didn't have fun few minutes ago but he doesn't get to act strangely towards me throughout the week and suddenly appear now, expecting me to laugh and open my arms to him and forget everything that had happened.

"So what have you got to say to me since you insisted on staying". I quipped not quite sure if I wanted a reply to the statement. I walked past him leaving him standing as I walked to sit on the bed. "Make it short, it's 2 in the morning and I want to get enough sleep". Finishing the last word, I noticed his mood has changed. His face has slowly turned pale, suddenly colorless. "What's wrong?". I asked, was I harsh? I queered and bit my lips. Lara? You shouldn't have asked that! I nag myself. You shouldn't have, not when you wanted to be the meanest this night, you wanted to evoke all the harshness in your voice and now you've ended up falling for this cute soft face that begs to be touched. Oh, f.u.c.k!.

Steven, on the other hand, didn't talk. He just moved a little and wrinkle his nose impishly. It was obvious he has suddenly become speechless and I have grown tired of waiting and secretly pleading for him to finally say something.

I huffed and tucked my self into bed "Turn off the light when you finally decided on leaving". I said facing the other side to avoid seeing his face because I know that if it eventually happens, I won't be able to resist him and I'd ended up throwing my arms around him.

"I'm sorry". His voice came nearly as a whisper and I exhaled deeply. Then there was silence again. "I - I shouldn't have acted the way I did this past week, I know that I don't get to act that way and just show up now without explaining how wrong it was of me but believe me, I'm truly sorry". I sat up and moved to rest my legs on the floor. He too walked and reached out to me. He bent on his knees, resting his hands on my t.h.i.g.h as he clasped our hands together. Looking me in the eye.
