Chapter 49: The Past I

'Hazel we need to talk' Chris said as he entered her room.

'Ok…what is it?' she asked her eyes focused on her laptop screen.

'Can we start over?' he asked as he walked over to her side.

'What?' she asked turning to look at him. Hazel didn't expect Chris to ask such a question.

'Can we start over? You know just like a normal couple without any more complications' he explained sitting next to her.

'We are a normal couple, Chris' she told him as she closed her laptop.

'No we aren't! We both hold secrets from each other feeling the need to protect the other but it only leads to confusion' he protested holding up a sullen look on his face.

'Is this your way of getting me to tell you what happened in Grayson's office?' she asked suspicious about his sudden change in character.

'I don't wanna know' he replied straightaway.

'Are you sure?' she asked holding back a smile. But it was clear Chris was serious.
