Claire's POV
It was on a Thursday night. The day was packed with work. I couldn't tell high boss how I felt In the day.
I went to the military around nine pm to see high boss. I couldn't think straight all day. My mind was fixed in wright.
I reached the military, it was dark and cold. I knew the rules of the hospital says no doctor should be out of the hospital when it's night.
I couldn't help but step out. I didn't know high boss room and I can't ask anyone. It was like I was literally the only one in the military.
As I walked through the field, a hand held me from behind. I froze.
I found myself in the library. I wanted to scream but I heard his voice.
" Hey, it's me" wright whispered.
I immediately took my pills then looked at him. Even though I couldn't see his face properly.
" what are you doing here, did you forget about the rules?" He asked.
I was speechless, what do I say next. What if he doesn't care about why i came.
In a moment, I moved closer to him then gave him a kiss.
He was shocked. I also felt the same. I must have be really in love with him to have do that instead of talking.
" I will get going." I murmured.
I was about to turn then he held my hand and pushed me back to the book shelf. I thought he was going to do something crazy.
" Explain what you just did." He said.
How do I start. What do I do now. I have to say something.
" I was...I wanted to tell you that I'm sorry." I whispered.
" You didn't do anything wrong, miss Claire." He said.
" I'm sorry I kept my feeling for you." I looked into his eyes.
" You don't have to be sorry, it was your choice." He expressed.
" I'm sorry, high boss. I have feelings for you." I whispered.
There was a short silence in the room. I'm going to get rejected.
" What did you say?" He asked.
" I said I like you, I'm sorry I kept my feelings." I said.
" Okay." He looked around.
He must have not take me seriously. I need to tell him the reason I rejected him.
" High boss, I rejected you because I thought I would find my childhood friend and I was afraid of everything." I explained.
He looked at me still not talking.
" I was thinking I will find him or he will find me as he said. I thought he still remembers me and will come for me but it's over." I explained.
" You don't have to force yourself , you have your own life." He stated.
" Yes but I thought he will fulfil his promise. He must have moved on now. He must have forget about everything about us." I expressed.
" Miss Claire." He looked at me.
" High boss. I gave up everything for him. I passed through everything I can't let him know about. But maybe, I couldn't protect him or it was just a child play when he told me he will find me." I said.
He looked at me, trying to process what to say.
" You mean you've given up on your childhood friend?" He asked.
" Yes. I mean it. If I don't let him go, I will feel so much pain of the past. I fight my way to be here but now he's nowhere to be found." I said.
" Miss Claire...." He pursed.
" let's talk about us, if you remind me of him, I won't be okay for days. I said I like you, won't you say anything?" I stated.
" Miss Claire, I...." He pursed.
I didn't know when I pulled his collar and kissed him again.
" What will you say about this, I said I like you. I really like you." I stated.
" I didn't reject you, I can't." He said.
I looked at his eyes immediately. I really thought he gave up on me.
" Let's date, I will be your girlfriend. I know I rejected you so you can also do the same." I said.
He looked at me without saying anything. I felt like I should disappear. His gaze were really on me. I shouldn't have said that.
" Huh...you can tell me later about what you think. I will wait." I said.
He didn't say anything. I was really nervous.
" Huh...huh...I will go... now sir." I stammered.
I was about to go when he held my hands. He looked at me and hugged me immediately.
" I know everything, I know you were hiding your feelings because of Ryan. I know everything. You don't have to feel bad about it." He stated.
" You know everything?" I asked.
" Yes, everything. I was also waiting for you to come. I miss you so badly." He expressed.
" I missed you too. I thought you've given up on me. I'm sorry for not confessing to you." I said.
" Okay." He smiled.
He released me and held my hand.
" So what will you say about my confession. Should I wait?" I asked.
" No, I have nothing to say." He said.
" So...you are saying you are rejecting me." I questioned.
I thought he was really serious. He must want to take revenge on him. But I explained everything to him.
" You can ask me anything but not this one." He stated.
" So you don't want to date me, what is our relationship?" I questioned.
He looked at me then smiled. He made me nervous, I couldn't look into his eyes.
" I didn't mean it...." He pursed.
" You just rejected me." I whispered.
"Miss Claire, will you be my girlfriend?" He asked.
I looked at him immediately, what is going on. I thought he rejected me like I did to him.
" Aren't you going to say something or should I take it back?" He stated.
" Wait...yes, I will be your girlfriend." I smiled.
He looked at me then smiled back. That word really caught into my soul.
" You can ask me anything but not this. I was going to ask you out again." He said.
I blushed immediately. I was really happy. Maybe because I am finally with someone or I'm just not alone anymore.
" Thank you for being my girlfriend." He smiled.
I looked at him without saying anything. in a moment, my alarm rang. It spoiled the moment.
" You need to go now, it's already 10 pm. You should rest for the day." He said.
" Yes, the time is really fast. I didn't get to chat with you." I whispered.
" Don't be sad, you will see me later." He smiled.
" Can you give me a hug?" I asked.
He moved me closer then hugged me closely. It was as though I should be there forever. He smells really good.
" You should go now, I will walk you to the hospital." He said.
" Okay." I smiled.
We left the library then he walked me back to the hospital. I felt like we should stay together but the time was running. I had no choice than to leave him.
I was really happy I've got someone who is for me now. I was really excited.
