He Did It Again

Crystal

“So, you’re not coming back anytime soon?” I asked him over the phone.

“Unfortunately, no, not for another week,” Harold replied.

“Is that so?” I sighed.

“What’s the matter? Missing me already?” he teased.

“Yeah, I do,” I smirked, “So much!”

“All right, no need to be weird about it. I just need another week or so,” he said, “Maybe we can hang out when I’m back, have dinner or something.”

“Yeah, that’ll be fine,” I said.

“All right then,” he said.

“Uhm, Harold?” I hurried.

“Yeah?”

“No, it’s nothing; never mind,” I interrupted myself.

“You sure? You got me curious now,” he said.

“It’s really nothing. Just medical stuff, but I’ll ask someone around,” I replied.

“I don’t really get why you can’t tell me, but okay,” he responded, “Just take care of yourself, okay? Bye.”

“I will. Bye,” I replied.

I put the phone down and leaned back into my chair.

My eyes scanned the mini-office I was assigned to work in before settling on the diagram of the heart.

I placed my hand on my chest then took a deep breath and exhaled.

“Nothing,” I said.

I didn’t feel it with Harold.

I didn’t understand why he didn’t make my heart skip when I was so comfortable with him.

My eyes continued to scan the office and settled on the diagram of the human face.

Hiseyes had a piercing look, an arrogant one that looked down on everyone around him. Even when he apologized, I could tell he wasn’t going to stop at the apology.

From what I’d heard, men like that don’t give up that easily.

Besides…I focused on the diagram’s lips next.

I recalled Adam’s lips crashing into mine and there was a tug on my heart.

“No, seriously, why is this happening? Whyhim?” I asked no one in particular.

My fingers pressed against my lips, and I kissed them.
