Chapter 18 - 18

The day has been interesting but it was soon coming to an end. I neither wanted nor did I want to part ways with him. I just want to spend the rest of my life with him but I doubt that it will ever happen. Reiner is good-looking, he is sweet and smart there was no way he would want to be with someone like me.

I walked back home feeling down, I know that I have only met him and known him for a week but I feel like he is the one. I have never felt what I feel for him for anyone else in my life. My life only started to have meaning and be bearable when he came into it and if he ever leaves then my life would end. He might know it but he is my savior and my hero. I go to the park and sit on the swings thinking about how my life has changed since my birthday last week.

I can't imagine what my life would be like if I had never into that cafe on that very day. I need him in my life to keep going, I am afraid of what might happen to me if he leaves me. My heart constricts in my chest just thinking about it. It is unbelievable how my life is holding on to one single person..

"It is not a good habit to sit alone, " I heard on the swing next to mine and checked to see who it was. I came face to face with a handsome teenager who looked no older than me.

"What!" I asked surprised that he talked to me.

"Nothing, I am Zane and you?" he asked me.

"Do you introduce yourself to everyone you meet?"

"Only to handsome loners," he said and I looked forward. 'Did he just call me handsome I thought? " Well, are you going to tell me what your name is or not?"

"I don't introduce myself to strangers," I reply going back to what I was thinking about before he came and interrupted me.

"Well if you tell me your name we won't be strangers anymore," he said and I ignored him.

"What will it take for you to tell me your name," he asked and I glared at him, I am thinking about something so important and he keeps interrupting my train of thoughts.

"I won't stop asking until you tell me," he said making me irritated.

"Brandon," I said and pushed myself forward.

"That is a very beautiful name you got there," he said and I stopped the swing and gazed at him.

"Are you flirting with me?" I asked him. I don't think it is normal for a guy to tell another guy that their name is beautiful.

"What do you think?" he asked standing up and walking in front of and holding both ends of my swing. I tried to get to leave but he held me in place. " What happened do I make you nervous?"

"A bit yes, can you move?" I asked him but he didn't react and stayed put.

"My gay radar is telling me that you Brandon are gay. Am I right?" he asked leaning in and I swallowed a lump in my throat.

"N..no I a..am not," I said nervously.

"Has anyone ever told you that you look cute when you lie? I think that you are or maybe you are just in denial," he said inches away from me. I could feel his hot breath on my skin as he spoke.

"Let me go,"

"But we are just getting to know each other. Tell me why do you want to leave are you somewhere?" he asked.

"Let me go or I am going to scream," I said and he smiled. He removed his hands and I got up and walked away.

"Brandon wait," he said and I stopped and turned around. He pulled me by my right hand and before I knew it he was kissing me. I froze and was confused about what to do, he wrapped his arms around my waist and deepened the kiss. I got my composer and broke the kiss and furiously glared daggers at him.

"I have kept my number in your pocket do call me," he said and I just wanted to punch that smile off his face. How dare he smile at me after taking advantage of me, I turn around to leave and froze once again. Because right there in front of me was Reiner with my phone in his hand. He looked at me with an expressionless face.

"You forgot your phone at the cafe, I came here to bring it back. I didn't mean to interrupt anything," he handed me the phone and walked away. I was helpless on what to do, I want to run after him but I don't know what I should even say to him. My heart shattered into a million pieces and I remained standing there like a statue.

"Are you okay?" I heard Zane's voice behind me but I couldn't say anything to him. My heart was burning with rage, he had come out of nowhere and ruined everything for me. I was finally happy after so long and he had to show up and destroy everything. My heart started hurting so much, I dropped to the ground. The tears were flowing freely from my eyes.

" What happened Brandon? Why are you crying?" he kept asking and my heart kept boiling with resentment. He helped me up and sat me down at the bench and sat down next to me. I couldn't stop crying when I thought of Reiner witnessing that kiss. He must hate me right now after what he saw, what must he think of me right now.

"Look I didn't mean to offend you okay. If I upset you with that kiss then please forgive me," he said.

" Brandon what is the matter, I apologize for what I did okay don't cry. I didn't know that you were so sensitive please I am so sorry," he continued to apologize.

I didn't want to hear his apology, I wanted to turn back the time and stop myself from ever walking into this park. I want to go make and make sure that he had not kissed me and Reiner had not watched everything. I got up and started running towards the cafe, I have to talk to him and explain what happened. I can't let him think that I cheated on him, he must understand that I am not that kind of person and that I only want him.

I ran as fast as my legs could carry me until I reached the cafe, I saw him outside talking on his phone. When he saw me he turned and started walking away, I rush over to him and pull him away to the back of the building.

"Re...Reiner we..we need to talk," I said trying to catch my breath.

" What is there to talk about? I am busy as I have to get back to work," he said and tried to leave but I blocked his path.

"I won't take much of your time, I just want to explain to you what happened at the park," I said in one breath.

" There is nothing to explain, I think what I saw needs no explanation."

"But you don't understand," I said trying to explain to him.

" There is nothing that I didn't understand. What do you want to explain to me huh! What the kiss tastes like," he asked in fury.

"No, I don't want to say that. I want to say..." I tried to say but he walked away. " Reiner please listen to me," I pleaded but he kept walking. My mind was in complete chaos and I didn't know what was happening. All I knew is that I had to stop him from leaving. I stopped him and did the only thing my mind could think of, I kissed him. He pushed me away.

" How dare you kiss me after kissing that boy. I am warning you Brandon if you ever kiss me again or try to come close to me I will make you rue that very day for the rest of your life," he said in a cold threatening voice that made me tremble. He walked away and left and I couldn't do anything about it.
