A Myth

-Corrine-

The rackety sound of a game center welcomed us as we entered that place.

“First time?!” Andrew half shouted to overcome the surrounding noise.

I looked up at him and shook my head. “No!”

I didn’t want to go into details about my experience at the game center. First, because places like this brought unpleasant memories for me. Daniel used to take me to the game center in Wesgrove when we were still dating. Second, because I was a terrible player at games like these.

Daniel would often mock and scold me every time I made a mistake and suffered defeat. Looking back, I should have realized how repulsive his attitude was. But love did make people blind sometimes.

I was lost in my thoughts about Daniel, staring blankly at the row of games when Andrew bent down towards me and whispered in my ear.

“Wanna get out of here?”

His deep and sexy voice made me stumble. I turned and almost kissed his lips. Our faces were only about an inch apart.

I lingered, gazing into his dark blue eyes.
