chapter 29

toby p.o.v

Trying hard to stop her from leaving but it wasn't working and I did whatever I could  to persuade her from leaving.

She was either angry or scared after finding out the truth. I still thought ways of making her stay but she was way too stubborn to agree with me.

Even after asking her to let her aunt explain herself she still wouldn't budge.

Even after trying to talk her out of it,it was like I was talking to a deaf person without using sign language.

The weather started changing and it was getting dark, we were still walking in the woods, knowing that she was just talking alot,I walked quickly and stand behind her.

She turned around to look at me, she was surprised and barely talked. She asked what I was doing and told her that I was listening to her heartbeat.

Her heart was racing and I couldn't help but to smile,she seemed to be lost in her thought as she stared at my face and got closer to my lips.

I got closer to hers and kissed her,her body barely moved she could have pushed me away but she didn't, instead she responded to my kiss and put her arms around my neck.

I pulled her even more closer and she jumped in my hips and I carried her without breaking the kiss. The rain began pouring and I enjoyed the moment until it ran heavily.

Lisa jumped down and we began running until we came to a road,a car stopped infront of us, someone came out and I recognize who it was, jason my best friend.

I turn to look at lisa, she looked confused and tired, both jason and I fist bumped and I motioned her to get in.

I wanted to drive her home,but I didn't because I wasn't sure if she was ready to her again.

I drove her back to the manor and we stopped at the door, lisa and I got out while Jason waved at us and drove away.

We both stood at the door watching the rain  pour down from the skies as it darkens. I stared at her as she lift her hand to feel the water falling on her hands.

I couldn't stop admiring her, I her,I remember the kiss as I touched my lips,she was still enjoying the rain when I asked her if she still wanted to leave.

Her answer was still the same and she wasn't going to see her aunt either.

Somehow her words felt like I was stabbed with a knife in my heart but I didn't show her any expression instead I took her in and we both walked together to my room.

I gave her a towel to dry herself, she took it and dried her face and hair. I asked yo take a shower before she catches a cold.

As she left, my phone rang and it was from veronica, I looked around before I answered it.

"Hey how's lisa doing?"

"I don't know what to tell you"

"I understand she's still mad at me isn't she?"

"Something like that"

"I should have known, she doesn't want to see me right?"

"That's what she said but you shouldn't agree with it"

"So what should I do? I can't force her to listen to me"

"I know it will make things more hard for her"

"I can't give up on her toby, she's my niece and only person I have in my life"

"I know that but we should respect her decision, maybe that way she might come around"

"I hope you're right and please take care of her for me ok?"

"Don't worry, as long as she stays here with me, I can't make a promise though"

"I know but I can't lose her again because if she walks away now I don't think I'll be able to survive without her"

She then cut the call,I thought of what she said and I don't think she would be the only person who will be broken same for me.

Lisa then came out of the bathroom wearing only a towel around her body,I stared at her for a while before she snapped her fingers and clapped her hands infront of my face.

"Earth to toby" she said.

I barely knew what I was  doing, staring at her body, she has long blonde hair, blue eyes, and curvy  body. She looked hot as the water ran down her shoulders.

"Do you need anything?" I asked looking embarrassed for staring at her.

She asked me if I could help her unlocking the closet and I did, she smiled and walked in,I went back to the room and looked for extra towel so I could take a shower.

After that, I went back to the room and saw lisa wearing my shirt, it was long enough to cover her until above her knees.

I wanted to tease her to see her reaction, so I asked her why and who gave her permission to take my clothes. She was quick to snap at me and refused to take it off.

I was somehow glad that she didn't get upset, she went to bed and I left her room I stood outside for a while and thought about Veronica's words.

I was about to leave when I heard lisa screaming, I quickly got in and saw her sitting on the bed while covering her ears, I sat infront of her and she jumped to my arms.

Soon the rain stopped, I looked at her, she had tears on her cheek so I wiped it with my hand. I realized she Astraphobia,fear of thunderstorm and lightning.

I laid her  head on the bed and was about to leave when she grabbed my arm and gestured me to stay with her,she left me a space to sleep and laid her head on my chest.

She then woke up and looked at me, our faces were closer to each other, I couldn't help but to kiss her lips.

I wasn't sure if I was doing right, but I couldn't stop myself from doing it either. She had a  soft heart-shaped lips and I couldn't stop myself from kissing it.

Surprisingly she responded to it and we had a moment which I hope it will forever be unforgettable.

We finally kissed and I was enjoying every moment of it I hope that I'll be able to stop her from leaving.

Now more than ever, I want to make her mine forever.....
