Novel & Cerita Unexpected Feelings For Someone

While we were coming here, I had thought of the multiple senarios that would play out. I had imagine myself falling into a round of tears immediately I meet them, probably of joy, my knees would give away and them would catch me and say its okay, or I'll tears of anger would slip down my face as I meet them. Angry at them for leaving me all these years and only coming back for me now. In all my possible senarios, I had imagined myself crying, whether it was of joy or anger, but right now... I just felt bored and awkward. Why aren't they dating anything for fuck sake?!

The whiplash of the distance I felt as he moved past me without a glance back after our embrace ran circled round my mind. Then again, I didn't know what he had been through over the past few weeks. I reminded myself of that, pushing away those bad feelings. I shouldn't feel so saddened. But then, my newly discovered feelings came to the forefront. I never thought that I would feel this way for anyone. Should I have expected this? Considering that we were apparently bonded for life perhaps? But then again, I hadn't quite grasped the concept of mates, and George's past explanations and the little I read didn't help.

A flicker of something… uncertain. It was subtle—just the slightest shift in his expression, the tension in his jaw, the way his fingers twitched at his sides. I wasn’t sure why, but I felt like I had seen that look before. Like someone standing on the edge of something they didn’t know how to face. For a brief second, an unexpected emotion rose in me. Was it pity? Understanding? Or something more dangerous—something that made me want to reach out and pull him away from whatever ghosts were haunting him?

In that tender moment, a surge of longing and vulnerability coursed through my veins, blurring the lines between friendship and something deeper, something unspoken yet palpable in the air. Caught in the delicate dance of uncertainty and desire, I felt a pull towards Jenny, unlike anything I had experienced before. Was it the fragility of the moment that ignited this yearning within me, or was it the profound sense of peace and acceptance I found in her presence that beckoned me closer?

At all. Maybe it has something to do with being an only child, but maybe I'm just not equipped to handle them yet, especially emotions so strong they make my entire body tremble and cause tears to start flowing uncontrollably. Either way, it made me feel vulnerable and weak. It made me realize that yes, it hurts. And yes, there might be more between us than just friendship. It may be love, but maybe it's too soon to say so. And if it isn't love, and it's not just friendship…

Am I upset? I don’t know. But I feel something. Something that’s new, something I can’t ignore. I’ve never cared about Siena’s feelings before. I’ve always kept my distance. But now, her absence feels different. It feels… wrong, And I don’t know what to do with that. I don’t know what to do with any of this.

And his response was not one I was expecting. “You’re not the only one whose feelings are all over the place, Ariya. It’s not only my body, but my emotions that become affected by you. I’ve grown used to keeping myself calm and composed and not letting my emotions control me. But ever since you’ve appeared in my life I’ve felt more frustration, concern, curiosity and excitement than I have in a very long time. However, unlike you, I can’t find it in me to hate the way you make me feel. But perhaps that’s because you don’t know much about me. So why don’t we both try to play nice? After all, would getting along be so bad?”

Maya's heart skipped a beat as she felt a flutter in her chest. She couldn't believe it - she was actually feeling romantic feelings for this stranger, her savior. Yet as her thoughts swirled with this newfound attraction, a nagging sense of unease crept in, tempering her excitement. It was all so sudden, this spark of feelings for a man she barely knew.

I am not sure why I walked away from him. He had been making me feel things I did not expect to feel ever again, and I have been feeling them for a little while now. We were meant to be friends. Simply friends. It has been confusing me. Scaring me. Upsetting me.

Did I do something wrong? As I stirred the potatoes, my emotions became tangled. I felt a mix of frustration, sadness, and even a touch of anger. How could he just disappear like this? It was as if our connection meant nothing to him. The uncertainty gnawed at my heart, leaving me feeling lost and vulnerable.
