Chapter 167: I'll Regret It

I walk into the living room and find him sat on the sofa, his laptop on his lap. His phone is held in the crook of his shoulder. He's wearing a pair of comfy pants and a grey t-shirt. It's tight against his biceps and I catch my breath at the sight of him. His hair looks damp; as if he's just gotten out of the shower. He's sat in the corner of his L shape sofa with his legs up in front of him. He's no longer paying attention to whatever Landon is saying to him. His eyes are on me and the look he's giving me is enough to make me blush.

"Got to go, Landon. I'll call you back in a bit."

He puts down the phone but doesn't say anything to me. I'm standing in the doorway of his living room and we're both just staring at each other.

I should tell him I'm leaving. But I can't.

He's right. I'll regret it. Gabriel's right. I'm scared. I take a step towards him before hesitating again.

"You really meant what you said last night?"

"You know I did, Clara." He doesn't move.

"Okay."

"Okay?"
