Chapter 110 - This is Craziness (1/2)

”That's excellent.” He smiled at her and she smiled back. She bit her lip. ”I didn't want to come initially and was kidnapped by my manager who thought it was imperative for me to sort this out. I have been moping, you see.” She let out a small giggle at that.

”So, you didn't want to come,” she said softly, going silent.

”At first, no. And then a talk with the manager and my mother later, I realized how I yearned to be with you. I was miserable when we didn't talk and I was furious at myself for allowing myself to say those hurtful things to you when I meant none of it. I get that now, but back then I was too taken with my emotions and how you were attacking me to think straight.”

”I can't apologize. I should have been calmer when I spoke to you. I should have realized that your life was more complicated. You have always told me that.” She sighed and placed her head in her palm.

”No, love. It's not your fault. I love that you could feel so much for me. I know anger is not what I was going for, but we are young and we can channel this passion elsewhere. Couples have misunderstandings and they fight.”

”You are a year older than me, but you sound like a grandfather,” she sniffed.

”Are you crying again?” he croaked, scooting closer to her and taking her back into his arms. He placed a soft kiss on her forehead and smiled. This would be the first kiss of many kisses to come; he would make sure that was what happened.

”Wait. Did you say 'couple'?” She sounded astonished as she raised her head.

”What else do you think we are? After everything we have done.” A wicked grin took over his face. And a blush was plastered on hers. ”When have we not been a couple?”

The words buzzed in her head.

'I thought we were talking casually over the internet and here you are saying that it was all serious. This is craziness.'

”There is so much I want to ask, and Angelina did most of the job for me.” He chuckled.

”You heard all of that?” she said through her embarrassment.

”Yeah. She was really nice about it all and much more amiable than I thought she would be.” He shrugged.

”She can be a little scary at times, but she is also one of my best friends.”

”You never spoke of her that way.” He tilted his head to the side and looked at her with warm eyes.

”I sometimes forget that she is my friend. Our dynamic is weird. You must have realized that by now.” She gave a watery smile.
