“Style, is it?” He asked, making me go silent.

I avoided eye contact, unsure how to respond to him anymore. I didn't understand how to feel about it anymore…it felt as if whatever that happened between us earlier didn't mean a thing to him.

He asked me to leave which was enough to let me know how he feels about me…how he feels about us. He…doesn't love me but then again…does that mean that kiss…also meant nothing to him…? Nothing at all? Because… it's completely opposite for me here. I am even unable to meet his gaze.

I could still feel my heart throbbing inside my chest. I can still feel the way he felt against me…I can still feel his touch lingering over my skin. Is it alright to feel this way? Whatever I am feeling, is it okay to feel? Despite knowing whatever we have between us is nothing but just adjustment?

My silence was palpable and it stretched on for a while. But then, his voice rang out again, “Take a leave today. We will be going out” Upon hearing that, my eyes snapped back to his, while my mind raced with questions.
