Unexpected Feelings For Someone Novels & Stories

I could find her easily in the shrine later on and greet her properly, even apologize for leaving without telling her. A sense of foreboding in the pit of my stomach made me wrap my arms tightly around myself. I didn’t like this sudden feeling. Something bad was about to happen…something that probably I set in motion. What had I done? Was rejecting Andre a bad idea? But I didn’t have any other option. Andre was getting too forceful and I didn’t want to deal with him anymore. I’ve always had this strange sensation of uneasiness whenever I was near him and that only seemed to intensify after I rejected him.

I whispered, blinking back the tears that threatened to spill. Dr. Patel continued, “It’s the same with any strong emotion—love, trust, even dislike. If Cole doesn’t trust someone or feels uneasy around them, those instincts remain. He may not recall the specific reasons behind those feelings, but they’re still there, guiding his actions and responses.” I nodded, his explanation settling over me. “So, even if he’s lost the details, his gut feelings about people—about us—are still intact.”

He should be happy to see her miserable and to know that she was suffering. But as he thought of her tears and of the way she had looked at him with such fear and desperation in her eyes, he felt a pang of...something. It wasn't quite guilt, nor was it sympathy. It was more like a sense of unease, a feeling that he couldn't quite shake.

he replied casually. A sudden wave of disappointment washed over me. I knew deep down that his presence might not be a good idea, but I couldn’t help feeling excited at the prospect of seeing him. The anticipation had been building up all day, knowing Atlas might be there too. Yet, underneath the excitement, there was also a nervousness, a realization that asking him to join us was not entirely right. Despite knowing it might be for the best if he didn’t come, I couldn’t shake off the disappointment. I sighed inwardly, feeling hopeless. How would I ever move on from him if I couldn’t even manage my own emotions?

There was no judgment in his voice, just observation. I gave him a look of disbelief. “Do you feel bad for her? After the way she’s been treating me, I don’t think I could ever feel sorry for her.” The memory of her earlier mockery was still too fresh. He shrugged. “I mean, I know what it feels like. Liking someone who doesn’t feel the same way. Maybe she lashes out because she’s hurting.” His eyes lingered on me for just a second too long. I didn’t say anything.

But something keeps nagging at me. “I feel… different,” I finally say. “Like… I’m not just having nightmares. I feel things. Things that aren’t mine.” “What do you mean?” Casey asks softly. I hesitate. “Like… I’m picking up other people’s emotions. Randomly. And it’s not just sensing them—it’s like they’re mine.

I had to refrain from having these unwanted emotions because they might become a problem with our setup in the future, and I didn't want that to happen. This was really, really bad...

But the complexity of human emotions couldn't be easily controlled. I wondered if this was normal, to feel this way about someone with whom I didn't have a real relationship. The fact that Andrew was affecting me in some way was disturbing. He was a man with whom I didn't share an emotional bond, but there was something about him that stirred conflicting feelings in me.

You might be drawn to their every word and gesture, finding solace in their presence, even if it's as a friend. The intensity of your feelings can be overwhelming, making it hard to let go.
