Chapter Eleven

To make sure I wasn't feeling what I thought I was feeling I kept some distance between Christian and myself. To my surprise he actually called me the past few day's. I didn't answer though. I was still confused because I had never felt this was before and I was unsure of how to go about things. While laying down on my bed I began reminiscing about all the fun we had together, then it hit me. It came by quick but I was able to keep the thought lingering in my mind. I do like Christian. How could I let myself fall for a human. I knew I would be severally punished, liking a human was punishable by death. Only if God finds out though. So all I had to do was make sure he didn't find out, it seemed easy enough. And I wouldn't meet with Christian until I got rid of my feelings. Well at least that's what I thought would happen. But, sadly plans change. I guess he finally cracked because he showed up to my house.

"Uh, hey Christian." I hesitated opening the door.

"Did I do something?" Christian says furiously. He makes himself at home, finding a place on my sofa.

"Well, not particularly." I say.

"What do you mean. not particularly?" He asks.

"You didn't do anything wrong it's more or less me and not you." I said.

"That doesn't make any sense. I must have done something because, one you haven't been returning my calls and you haven't set up a date sense the Zoo." Christian said.

"Yeah, and I'm sorry about that. I wasn't... feeling well. I didn't really feel like doing anything." I lied.

"Your lying aren't you?" he asked.

"What makes you say that?" I say.

"You hesitated and I just know when your lying." He said.

"Well in any case it's getting late so you should go." I say dragging Christian to the door.

"Hey wait!, when can we go on another date." He asked.

"I don't know." I answered

"Wait. Tell me what's wrong. Please." Christian said.

He pushed open the door and grabbed my arm. He pulled me close to him and asked me again.

"Tell me what happen. Maybe I can help." He whispered.

I don't know why but him saying it in that voice really got to me. This was the first time that I had ever cried.

"I think I like you." I sniffled.
