Even if I had no appetite.Afterwards there was nothing left to do. Besides the obvious that is.Reach for my laptop. The same sleek device I'd been avoiding to begin with. At the end, there was no use running. It had to happen at some point. I had to see them again.Those words, sentences, posts... his posts. And as I did— turned on my laptop, notifications rushed in like rain. Every comment, tags, reposts, filled the air. Welcoming me right back to the disaster I had ran away from.Last time, I was almost knocked off by the sheer intensity of everything. The speculations, reasoning of the commenters and now? I didn't feel any better.My pulse raced with anticipation underneath my skin. My lips pressed in a firm line, quiet. Fingers itching and twitching as I remained seated on my bed. My sof
SERENA'S POV "Please do come again next time, Sir." The maître d’ said with a polite smile to Axel, handing over the freebies he received. Cause apparently, he'd made today's reservation about 2 months ago. Meaning he'd planned this for a long time. That should make me excited or feel good at least, right? But it didn't. How could it? When a certain somebody had abandoned the reason for him being present in this restaurant, instead, focusing all his attention on us. Me and Axel. Practically burning holes into the side of my face from how hard he was glaring. He didn't even bother to hide it. Didn't move from his spot either. Wonder how long he'd been there before I spotted him. But he did look good though. Really good with his hands tucked into his pockets, a phone in hand as he stood in the glass valet call stand, like he owned the entire place. His stare burned hot against my skin, impossible to ignore and making all the more uncomfortable as I stood still. My fingers

SERENA'S POV "I could be. You don't know that.""Oh hell I do." I smirked, "I most definitely do. No mistakes about that Blondie."His breath hitched, offended but amused. "Blondie? Why do you keep calling me? Where did that come from?""I've always called you that. You're just noticing?""I am,""Then you better go purchase that ear cleaning device your assistant recommended to you."He laughed, hard. Not expecting my words, his head tilting back, blue eyes twinkling."You're teasing me now? You're joining them to 'drag' my ears?"I shrugged, trying not to laugh but failing. "You're the one who complained about not hearing properly. This now proofs it, so... Yeah.""What?" He leaned forward, hands reaching for me.

I already got dragged once on my main account, do I also have to get dragged on my anonymous account too??"I need to arrest this blogger," I spat, already tapping on the message option, straight to his/her DM.

SERENA'S POV "It's hard to admit but too many things scare me.Not having a plan.Losing control,Not knowing what to expect...You.You scare me, losing you scares me.You said I never noticed the meals.The ones you made after spending hours practicing and sleeping off on tutorial videos online...But I did.I noticed them all. Every damn time.The labels. Sticky notes with the ridiculous shaped heart you always drew on the side.White was for Mondays, Blue for Tuesday, Brown for Wednesday, Pink and purple for Thursday and Friday.You'd leave them on the counter like you weren't waiting for me to say something. And I'd stare at them like an idiot, wondering why a plate of food scared me.At the end I'd leave without them.But not once did I have a moment of peace after. Not once did I not think of your face seeing them where you'd left them.After work, I made sure to eat them at night. You'd be sleeping upstairs but I'd be eating them all after microwaving.
