THIS IS NOT YOU

I was surprised when he said that. My upper lip lifted.

"Huh?"

"You can hold me. How many times have I seen you want to hold me but you don't continue? Nobody forbade you to hold me, right?" He told me seriously.

My whole face immediately warmed up because of what he said. I don't know if he can't tell that I'm shy or what. Why did he have to say this directly to me?

"I just..."

"Come here..." he said softly to me and raised one hand. I didn't move immediately because I didn't understand what he meant.

"Hector..." I uttered but he didn't say anything.

My heart pounded when he motioned for me to hug him, which I immediately did. As soon as our bodies touched I immediately felt calm. My whole world just suddenly calms down. The voices in my mind seemed to be silenced the moment he hugged me.

"Now you're calm. I want you to know that my heart remembers you," he whispered to me so that I started crying.
