34 If I Can Kiss You, I Would Kiss You Right Now. (2/2)

Alan is a bit shocked, he thought that Chase and her just a good friend. but he immediately change his posture and lay back on the bed.

”O-kay..continue.”

Looking at him who look lifeless, she just shrugged her shoulder and lay beside him again.

”Then, after I graduate from high school, Vladimir try to do something to me and after that day, I stayed at Chase's parent home until I get into the University. Every Christmas Eve I try to avoid to returned home because I don't want to spend my day with the two of them. When they knew about Sam few years back, they keep sayingthat I was a home wrecker. It made me sad and that is why I keep myself distance from my dad. My own mom sold me, my dad own his family now…hmm..I feel like I am an orphan child.”

”That is what Aslan feel too. I try my best to cherish him, so that he could feel like home whenever he with me. He could learn how it feel to have a father. But Hazel, I couldn't do it alone. He need a mother too. He needs you.” Alan turn to her side and look at her eyes.

”I don't hate him Alan, I just…it's too unfair for me. He's my fiancee's child with other woman and he trusting him to me? For what? Torturing me?” she start to form a tears in her eyes again.

”He's gone Hazel. He must have a good reason why he left him with you.” he slid her strands hair to behind her ear.

”And I am ready to take his place. Open your heart Hazel, start a new life with me and Aslan.”

”I'm not in love with you Alan.” she said and as she turn her body to the other side facing her back to him.

”Are you sure you not in love with me?” his voice remain gentle.

”Yes.”

”Then why did you jealous about me and Lola just now?” he ask.

”No, I'm not.”

”You're such a stubborn girl..and denial too.” he chuckles.

”Whatever. Thanks for listening, I'm going back to my room now.” she said as she start to get up.

Alan hold her hand from behind.

”Just sleep here.”

Shake her head, she say ”No I can't..”

”Why? Did you afraid that I might do something to you?” he asked.

”Yeah. You're a man after all.”

”Hazel, I can control myself. If I want to do it, I would have done it before.”

”Well…that's because…” she stop her sentence.

Releasing her hand, he say ”It's okay, I'm sorry for holding you back. You don't trust me. You don't have any feeling toward me too. Who am I to you after all, right Hazel?”

Feeling a bit hurt inside her heart, Hazel walk back to her room. She slumped on her bed.

'Why...'

She fell asleep after talking to him. Even it just a casual talk with him, she managed to get a better sleep without having any sleepwalking tonight.

…

The next morning, she went downstairs and she saw Alan was at the hall sending Akiko and Joe off.

She went to the kitchen and found Chase already wear his beige coat in front of the fridge take out an apple from it.

He ruffled her hair and say ”See you again Hazel.”

She look at Alan from the kitchen. Chase was talking to him. Their face look serious. 'I wonder what are they talking about.' Hazel turned back and find something to eat from inside the fridge.
