AIDEN Slowly, I sat up as I returned from the heavenly that filledwith the feeling of having Ana in my arms. My mind was a fog that refused to clear up as I stared at the door she had fled out of and slammed close.
I had desperately wanted our reconciliation, I wanted our love to blossom again but not this way. Not that I didn't like what just happened. I loved every bit of it. I wished she hadn't freaked out and ran out but I wanted us to slowly patch things back up. To make her understand that it had all been a grave misunderstanding. To show her that I would never have betrayed her in such a cheap manner. Perhaps, I would even play the voice recording for her.
When I felt a presence aroundthen felt someone touch my face and opened my eyes, I was shocked to see her. Up till she dug her fingers in my hair and kissedback, I was convinced that I was dreaming.
When I saw her in front of my face, wide-eyed, still high from the excitement of being in the sroom with her, I hadn't been able to stop myself. At that moment, it felt like, if I didn't kiss her, I might die.

She probably wanted space from now on. She wanted nothing to do with the betraying ex boyfriend who tried to take advantage of her again.
I sighed. I would just wait to the next morning.
*** The next morning, after a quick shower, I went in search of her. When I reached her room, stopping in front of the doorway and scanning the entire space with my eyes, she wasn't there. The room was being cleaned and fixed.
I decided to go for a jog around the premises, hoping that, by smiracle, I'd cacross her.
While I exerted myself and rounded the premises from the third time, the lodge keeper's son joined me.
What was his nagain? Martin? Yes, Martin.
"Hey." I nodded at him, "Hey." We stopped at the storage shed to catch our breaths. Martin, who must have been out for a run too, offereda bottle of water.
"Thanks, man," I said as I took a long swig of the refreshing water.
"You know," the guy started hesitatingly. I turned to him, still struck by the familiarity I felt. I had concluded that he looked like his father but there was still something about him that I couldn't place my finger on. "Con, man. What's up?" He cleared his throat, uncomfortably. "After we departed last night, I remembered where I know you from." I raised my brows as I screwed the cap of the bottle back on. "Con, humor me," I slapped him on his biceps.
He smiled shyly and I realized that he was quite younger than I had thought when I saw him last night. "You remember a lanky short boy you beat up and threatened years ago?" He asked with an arched brow.

"You!" I blurted.
He nodded and his lips curled into a sheepish grin. "Yep, me. I broke into your home. And you gavea good beating." I shook my head, unable to stop the laughter that bubbled up my throat. "Why do you say it like that?" I said amidst laughter. And soon, he also joined me.
When we both sobered up, I shook my head at him as I sized him up A "Man. In just five years, you've grown so big. I thought you were like... what? Twelve? In junior high." en.swhovelsHe shrugged. "I was in high school then. My growth spurt just happened really late." "Poor you," I teased, "It must have been hard to get the girls."

"Nah," I looked away from him as I took another gulp from the bottle "It's in the past now. I've long forgiven you. You were a dumb boy struggling with puberty." He chuckled at that. "So," he started hesitatingly again.
I hit him in the chest. "You're a man now. Stop sounding like a pussy."
There was a light smile on his lips. "What about your girlfriend?" Hem looked up ataho could see the regret in his eyes. "Were you able to reconcile with her?"
