It'll Never be Okay!

Chapter 11

Kaiser

"Oh my God, Kaiser"

"I didn't know it was you" she said, ushering me into her house.

"You look..." She paused, taking all of me in.

"Different?" I asked

"Yes, in a really good way" she completed and I smiled at her.

"I was at your book signing event today" I told her

"Why didn't you tell me?" She said hitting my arm.

"I don't know...honestly" I said

And there was silence for a while.

"I missed you, pretty Rhyssa" I said and she looked down at her feet.

♥︎♡♥︎

"So how've you been?" I asked as we sat at the dining table.

"Well, good" She said.

"I didn't know you were a writer" I said and she laughed.

Melody.

"I am, since I was fourteen"

"But it all started with really stupid novels...I mean I was a kid" she said and we both laughed.

"I was working on a book that night you climbed through my window" She said and I laughed.

"You still remember that"

"Why not?" She asked.

"We'll I can assure you I don't climb through people's windows anymore" I said and we laughed again.

"Was that why you left your old apartment?" I asked

"You stalked me?" She asked, amused.

"No no no, I did not" I said defending myself

"Well, that wasn't the reason I moved out" She said and I was relieved.

"How about you?" She asked and I sighed deeply.

"When I left your house the next day after that incident, it was hell for me" I said as we stared at each other.

"I'm sorry" She apologised and I waved it off.

"There's no need to apologise"

"I'm doing very well now" I said, smiling and she smiled back.

I hated that I had to leave soon

It was getting late.

When I was about to leave, we stood up and for sometime, we were silent.

Just staring at eachother.

Then my eyes stopped at her lips.

Goddammit.

I would've tipped her head up so I could kiss her but I didn't, even though I badly wanted to.

"I missed you too, Kaiser"

"I'm so so sorry I forgot who you were....you just changed so much" She said and I smiled.

"Apology accepted" I said and she smiled.

♥︎♡♥︎

After taking a shower, I stepped out of the bathroom and stood in front of my dressing mirror.

Had I really changed so much after seven years?

I had dinner later, and as I ate...my phone chimed and Dave's name popped up in the message bar.

"Hey, go to a bar and drink?" He asked.

"Nah" I typed back and he called me boring.

I laughed.

Well I wouldn't deny it.

I wasn't used to parties and gatherings, I just rather stayed home.

Then I thought of Rhyssa.

If anyone ever told me I would ever see her again after I had climbed her window, I would've laughed it off.

After I left her house that day, I strived hard.

And life was hell then.
