Romans & histoires I'm Only Human Can't You See

I can’t see the big fuss. ------------------

Oh, my word, can the world just swallow me whole? I am completely frozen. I am trying my best not to cry this is too embarrassing. I cannot. SOMEONE SHOOT ME NOW!

Our eyes met, and I saw the worry etched deep in his. “Tell me…” he whispered, his voice soft yet full of command. “What can I do to ease your pain right now?” I smiled faintly, shaking my head. “You don’t have to do anything, President Braun. Just being here with me is enough,” I said. “I know it’s unfair to you, but… once I’m sure that my heart has nothing left for that monster—once revenge is the only thing that drives me, I promise I’ll give you all of me.”

“I already have a man, and I’m not interested in anyone else!” I hate lying, but in this case, it seemed like there was no other way. He clings to me like a burr, constantly pestering me about meeting up, some chances, and all that nonsense. He doesn’t understand human language at all, which drives me crazy. Like an annoying fly you can’t shoo away without smacking it with a newspaper.

She was talking about something, probably about how different life was when she lived as a human, but my mind drifted elsewhere. “…And that’s the thing about human jobs,” Hannah was saying, sounding amused. “If you hate it, you can just quit.” Lily made a funny face. “That’s ridiculous.

Lucy: Weird how? Amelia stared at the screen for a moment. She still wasn't entirely convinced the evening had actually happened. Amelia: The most ridiculously attractive man I've ever seen suddenly appeared beside me. Three dots appeared. Stopped. Appeared again. Finally... Lucy: I'm listening...

The world has faded out of view and now all I can see is her. She stares at me, and I stare back because I have no idea what to make of this. The person in front of me is ray of light thin.
