Chapter 33

I call a cab and as soon as we reach the street address I ask him to drop me off right there. I still have to find the courage to go talk to him.

My heart doesn't want to be quiet and the anxiety is killing me little by little.

I sit down for a while. It doesn't work. I go into a small convenience store and buy some water. I sit down on the bench in the square again.

I am worried about his reaction. What if I screwed up that afternoon when he came to me?

I take a deep breath. I don't want to think that nothing will go wrong. I'm here, aren't I? That's proof enough that I want to be with him, even though I said I preferred Matt thousand times over.

Dumb, dumb, dumb.

How could you, Sky?

I whimper.

I get up and head toward the house address. But just as I'm walking a few more yards ahead, I see him walk out the door. He's with some guys and some girls too. But the only person that interests me is him.

My heart races. He says something and smiles biting his lips.
