Meet me at our spot

Isabel

“ I promise I’ll come back and we will leave together and start our own family together Amor “ he said holding my hands as he looked in my eyes “promise”I whispered “ I promise” he said softly kissing me , I believed him and I wish I didn’t . He didn’t come back .the first month after he left passed like a blur I was mostly working and mother had fallen sick so I was doing all the work at the Jackson’s house,John was too little and I didn’t want him working at his age so I took on all the work and the only time I had to myself was at night and I was always too tired but every night I laid on the bed with hope in my right hand and the locket Logan gave me on my left

Logan and I started dating five months ago officially but have been sneaking around for over a year. He was the son of mr and Mrs Jackson with two older brothers, by the time he was born they were already tired of parenting so they were mostly lenient with him , I’ll never forget the day we first met I mean I knew who he was but I wasn’t allowed to speak or be near him me and my mother’s job was to clean and cook and we did exactly what was expected of us but most times I would sneak out to get fresh air and on this particular day was Felix’s his older brother’s birthday so I snuck out to the backyard where there were flowers and if you were laying down you could see how beautiful the stars were and probably fall asleep it was my spot I loved how cool the breeze was and how my mother never seems to find me whenever I’m there but getting there I was met with Logan he was sitting there looking at the stars , for a while I just stood there and didn’t know what to do “ hi “ I said he looked at me and stood up ,dusted his clothes and without a word he left I felt it was rude but couldn’t be bothered the next few days after I was there again wanting to relax after arguing with my mother I met him there this time with water and snacks “ hi “ I huffed and sat down he looked at me , stood up and as he was dusting his clothes maybe it was the frustration or the remaining anger I had left towards my mother but I looked at him” you know you can stay and not leave everytime I say hi “ I said glaring at him” sorry I thought it was your spot I’ve seen you here a few times from my window I didn’t want to make you uncomfortable “ he said softly

“You can sit wherever you want “ I said looking ahead ,” are you okay “ he said while sitting “ yh I guess” I mumbled “ I don’t really wanna talk about it “ he nodded and we sat like that in silence till it was time for me to leave . And every night we met there sitting in silence sometimes he reads or sleeps .it was so nice how we didn’t need to say anything but in a way we understood eachother it went like this for months till my birthday in June I sat there waiting for him cause the night before he told me he had a gift for me before leaving I was going to be 18 it wasn’t anything exciting for me but the thought of him getting me a gift made me feel giddy “ hi” he said smiling while taking a sit beside me it was the first time I’ve ever seen him smile and it was so beautiful.he had dimples when he smiled and he’s deep blue eyes soften,it was the first time I saw him relaxed most times he was always rigid and cold and quite I felt special seeing him like this and I wanted to savor the moment I looked up at him and gave him a small smile and he slid the box to my side “ what’s this I whispered “ opening it I gasped it was a locket and it had my name in little writings , tears sprang from my eyes maybe it was the fact that even my mom didn’t remember or the fact that no one has ever gifted me before but before I knew it I was already crying “ hey you don’t like it , I can definitely take you to the store to pick out another one you like “ he said “ no I love it “ I said shyly mentally scolding myself for crying in front of him in the first place I placed it on his lap and turned around “ please help me put it on “ he touched me like he was afraid I would break like I was delicate . “ thank you so much it’s really beautiful “ “your welcome “ he said going back to his original position and just like the other nights we didn’t speak but something shifted between us cause the next time we saw he brought fruits “here I brought it so we can share “ he said and that ritual continued till he left , we would talk about how I was tired of everything and he would tell him how being rich was exhausting it was ironic cause I would kill to be in his shoes I’ll rather be a rich exhausted girl than be a poverty stricken girl that feeds off the scraps her boss threw away , we couldn’t afford schooling so sometimes he would bring me books and teach me how to read and write he told me it was necessary I knew how to atleast read . We soon became close friends and from once in a while hangout we started hanging every day and on the night he turned 20 I made him his favorite jellyrolls I didn’t know what was special about them but he seems to really like them whenever I make them . I waited for him and twenty minutes later he showed up and for the first time not that I didn’t notice but for the first time I noticed how attractive he was ,he was tall and lean he had long veiny arms and really plump lips and he’s most attractive part is his blue eyes there was just something so compelling about them “ happy birthday “ I said smiling “ thank you “ I gave him the jellyrolls and the look on his face almost made me melt “ omg you made them thank you isa your the best “ he said side hugging me “ I know I’m the best “ I said sarcastically flipping my hair , I stared whilst he ate and when he was done eating he later down “ hey it’s not good to lay down immediately after eating “ I said trying to pull him up I didn’t know how he happened but he dragged me down and before I knew it our eyes were close and our lips were inches away from touching I stared at him in shock “Isabel”I heard from a distance that was my mother calling I jumped up with fright and left hurriedly without looking back omg that was close what was he thinking the next night and the night and night after neither of us spoke about what happened till it happened again this time he was late and stormed in I knew he was upset cause earlier that day I had heard his mum speaking to his dad about telling him something so I’m guess the something made him upset “ hey “I said shifting closer to him “ what’s wrong “ he huffed and turned to me “ they want me to leave to New York to start working in their company there” Ohk I said confused “ so why are you sad about that cause if I was told I was leaving this hellhole I’ll be happy” I commented still not knowing why he’s upset about such opportunity don’t get me wrong I love my village but it’s just so small and the people that lives there are so judgmental but asides from that I loved it but I didn’t see my self dieing there I loved fashion it was all I knew and the only thing I was good at but I also love money and there was no way I was going to make it if I stay here so I don’t know why he didn’t want to leave “ if I leave it means I’ll probably never get to see you again or never get to spend time with you again”he said sadly ohhhh I realized “ you can always come during the holidays “I said “ but what if by then you already met another person and then you forget about me “ he said sadly this time fully facing me “ I’ll never forget about you and I promise I won’t bring anybody here “ he shooked his head like I want understanding him “ you don’t understand I’ll lose my mind if I’m far away from you “ he held my gaze and shuffled closer held my chin “ I’ll go crazy with the thought of another man looking at you differently “ I whispered softly he’s lips inches away from mine “ can I kiss you “ he said his hands traveling to the nape of my neck “ yes “ I said cause frankly it was all I’ve been wanting for a while now my thought were cut off when he kissed me a wave of shock travelled down my spine and I clutched his shoulders cause I felt so weak I took full control guiding me and pulling me closer till there was so space left between us he smelt woody and spicy . The kiss went on for minutes till he pulled away and hugged me “ do you now understand what I mean Isa I’ll go crazy without you
