Tension

'That I care about you.'

These words kept ringing in my head, but I knew that it was because of the emotions that Raul had worn in his eyes when he spoke them. I don't think I will be forgetting it any time soon.

It was the emotion of sheer attachment which kept bringing back those words. And it was not like I was remotely interested in Raul. No. He was handsome and all that, but he seemed to have caught Diana's fancy. A few years will determine if it was a childhood crush, or something else. Somehow, a feeling or gut, call it whatever, chose the latter.

I sighed at that. This development wasn't good. When had he developed the feelings? Was it when I had rejected Adam publicly in the eatery? And after our conversation-I and Raul, Rachel hadn't stopped staring at me.
