Chapter Three

**SORRY FOR THE FIRST CHAPTER THREE GUYS, I LOST THE ORIGINAL COPY. BUT NOW I'VE FOUND IT. HOPE YOU ENJOY IT**

We heard a rustling sound and separated. We looked at each other and then looked at where the sound came from, it was only a squirrel.

The sky had darkened and the wind bit at my skin making me shiver. I couldn't look Annie in the eyes. I didn't know what to feel. I was spell bounded by feelings I experienced through the kiss.

I didn't even know Annie had been calling me until he shook me. From shock, I recoiled from his touch.

I turned to look at him and saw hurt flash across his face. It lasted for a few seconds and his face became passive.

I didn't even know Annibale had been calling until he shook the shock, I recoiled from him.

I turned to look at him and saw hurt flash across his face. It lasted for a few seconds and his face became passive.

With fear, I went backwards to create distance between us. This action only made him to harden his far more and his midnight blue eyes turned black.

Never had Annibale given me this face before. He had always kept this side if him from me. Annibale was very reserved and he easily gets angry.

If you were to meet him for the first time, you'll for sure be scared of him. Even at this age, he could make men pee at their pants with just one look.

But he had always kept that side from me. Since childhood, never has he gotten angry with me. I've never been scared of him till today.

The fact that he never showed it to me doesn't mean I've never seen him showing it to others.

Just that whenever it's about to happen, he'd make me close my eyes. But sometimes, I'd peek through my fingers to see.

I continued to be with him because I knew he'd never do it to me. I was never scared to be with him, I only felt safe.

But right now, not so much. I was so scared. I quickly took my clothes and my backpack, and ran away from him.

He kept shouting after me, even ran after me. I hid behind a big tree to get dressed. As soon as I turned, I came face to face with him. My heart jumped out from my chest.

He looked bizarre and very angry, "A-annie, please down hurt me."

His whole demeanour changed and his face fell. I took the chance and bolted.

I didn't even greet anyone when I got home and quickly went up the stairs to my room. I didn't even change out of my clothes.

I laid down on my bed, replaying the kiss in my mind. It was just as they described it in the stories and more.

Annie's lips against mine was heavenly. I could feel dinosaurs jumping in my stomach. And when he bit my my bottom lip, jeez, just the thought made me blush and I couldn't help touching my lip.

I ran to my mirror to check. My cheeks were flushed, lips swollen and the plae he bit was deep red.

My lips felt tingly and till now my skin was still covered with goosebumps. My heart felt heavy and a keeping I couldn't described took over my body.

I started thinking about all my special moments with Annibale. Then I thought of that time in the theater where he but my earlobe and called me a bad girl making me smile.

I jogged to my backpack to take my phone to call him. I was about to tap on his name when I recalled his angry face.

I couldn't remember what I did wrong that could have made him so angry. I didn't know what to do, how was I going to reconcile with him?

We'd never fought before, neither had we ever quarrelled to this extent before. What we'd had before were all just silly squabbles.

"Annie, what did I do wrong?" I asked to no one. I went to the window to see if he was in his room.

Annibale and his family lived just next door. Our windows faced each other. And sometimes, we'd sit on our window sills and talk till midnight.

I saw him, already at his window, looking at mine. Our eyes locked, as I opened my window. We looked at each other for a long time. I kept opening and closing my mouth like a fish out of water. I couldn't utter a single word.

We continued to look at each other. He then looked at my lips and I couldn't help but to touch it. I noticed his lips were swollen as well.

The confusing feeling came rushing back.

"Annie,"I whispered softly into the air, but I knew he heard it.

"Zeezee" he responded.

While I seemed to be in a dilemma, Annibale seemed very much in control of his emotions. Anyway, he has always known more than me.

His IQ was quite high, and so was his EQ. He was a walking perfection. He understood things quite easily. He knew lots of things that I didn't. His brain was older than the rest of his body.

"Annie, I'm sorry" I said to him. He didn't say anything and looked at me with an intense gaze. Right now, he looked older than the fourteen year old boy that he was.

"I don't what happened. I don't know what I did to make you angry but I'm sorry. We've never fought before so u never learnt how to apologise to your best friend when you offend him. I'm sorry Annie, please don't be mad at me."

I apologized even though I didn't know the reason for why I was doing it.

He didn't say anything, he just looked up to the stars for a while then turned to look at me again. This time , with a little smile upon his lips.

Although it was dark, I could that his lips wee twitching. A sign that he was smiling. No one could read Annibale like I could, at least I thought so.

He nodded at me making me smile in relief. Then Petra, his mother called him. I waved him goodbye and closed my window. I went to bed with a smile on my face.

I was happy everything was resolved. But for some reason, my heart still felt heavy. I felt like it wasn't the end to the quarrel and that a bigger one was coming.

I got scared and covered myself with my heavy mint-scented blanket.
