Beautiful night

Chloe woke up feeling happy about what happens last night. His words still echoed in her ears as she recalled what he said to her before he fell asleep. 'I love Chloe,' she thought and blushed. She was in the tub taking her bath with her eyes closed reminiscing about last night. Her heart became excited as she recalled how close the two of them were the previous night.

"Do you plan to stay in there the whole morning? I need to take a shower," Adam said banging on the door.

Chloe got up and covered herself with her towel and went to open the door for him. On the other side, Adam was getting restless about getting late and decided to kick the bathroom door open. As he went to kick the door Chloe opened it and he rushed into the room, with the were floor from the water dripping off of Chloe he slipped and fell.

"Owch," Chloe screamed when her head hit the floor when Adam landed on top of her. She hissed in pain making him stare at her. She looked up at him flashes of last night crisscrossing in front of her eyes. She looked away and tried to calm her racing heart from going out of control.

Adam watched her reaction without a word he just looked at her. He wondered why she was acting weird, for the past few days she had done nothing but avoid him since the incident at his office. She has been sad since then but today he couldn't detect any sorrow or sadness in her eyes. All he saw was joy and happiness. He wondered what the reason for her happiness was, he hadn't done anything to make her happy then what.

He remembered what happened at the audition and Ty taking away after her breakdown. He wondered if she was acting weird because of him, had she perhaps fallen in love with the actor. He thought and frowned. He got up from the floor and didn't worry about helping Chloe up and went straight into the shower in a sour mood.

He had gone away yesterday and somehow ended up meeting an old high school friend of his and they got to talk. As they talked he came to learn a few things about his past that he had forgotten over the years and that made him bitter. He closed his eyes and recalled her just the way she was back then. Chloe Blossom the nerd who always competed with him for first place. His rival in studies.

The girl who made him care about his studies and study hard just so she would notice him. He thought that if he showed her that he was smart that she would see him worthy of her time. The girl who stole his heart on the first day of high school with her beauty and simplicity, the very same person who he used to long for until she broke his heart and disrespected his feelings for her.

He opened his eyes enraged and got out of the shower when he was done. He dried his hair in the mirror thinking about all the times he tried to win her over in the past being rejected every time like he wasn't good enough for her. He was the only girl in his whole life who had ever rejected him and that made his love for her back then stronger.

But yesterday, he realized that he still had feelings for his beautiful nerd, and just like before she didn't love him back. That is the reason that he got drunk yesterday. He couldn't handle the feeling that made him hate the thought of trusting someone in his life. She broke him back then and that is why he hates the thought of being in a relationship with anyone. He had learned from her that the world is a cruel place that doesn't value people's feelings.

He got out of the bathroom after getting dressed and went to the room. Chloe was in front of the mirror getting her make-up done. He walked to the nightstand and got his phone and turned to leave.

Chloe rushed to block his path by standing before him. "Are you off to work?" she asked him.

"Hmm," was all he said on return.

"Can you give me a ride?"

"Sure," he said and left the room with Chloe following right behind him. He listened and counted the steps that she made with her shoes just like he used to do in high school. He still couldn't believe that the girl who turned him down and rejected him all those years ago was living with him in the same house. She was his wife and he couldn't recognize her.

He glanced back at her arching to inquire if she recognized him and knew who he was but he stopped himself. If she rejected him before what should stop her from doing it again.

"Have you ever fallen in love?" he asked her when he could no longer control his curiosity.

Chloe looked up at him, she remembered him confessing his love for her and thought that he was trying to find out if she loved him back. She wanted to say to him and scream to the whole world that she loved him but she didn't. She decided to pay him back for all the times he made her cry in the present and back then when he loved her all along. She chose not to tell him how she felt for him.

"No, I haven't had the honor of falling in love. Why?" she asked hoping he would say those beautiful words to her again.

He stared at her and went back to walking to the dining room to have his breakfast. He helped Chloe to her seat and took a seat too. "Never? Not even once when you were young like maybe in high school?"

"Nope. I have never fallen in love in my whole life but I one day hope to. When I find the right person," she stated.
