My Heart only Beats for You

Matthew's voice was absolutely hypnotic. When he uttered those words in his every so slightly gruff tone, it was maddeningly intoxicating.

Selina's mind was all over the place.

Matthew's handsome face started getting closer and closer. His lips were just about to kiss Selina's.

She bit down on her lip. "Matthew, let's break up."

Matthew stopped moving.

Selina looked up at Matthew's handsome face. Her body went stiff when she realized just how close his face was.

The guilt in her heart was beginning to overflow.

"Selina, I don't think it's April Fool's Day, so let's not play pranks on each other." In a heartbeat, Matthew's warm expression returned, and he locked her eyes in a mesmerizing gaze. Selina breathed in deeply.

She turned to Matthew in a more serious tone. "Matthew, I want to break up with you. This isn't a joke." Half an hour later, Selina and Matthew were strolling in a nearby park.

The both of them were silent.

Selina checked the clock on her phone. Half an hour had already gone by. "Matthew, I've already taken the time you've given me to think it over, and I still want to break up with you. I mean it." Matthew stopped walking and looked directly at her.

There wasn't a trace of emotion in his deep, vortexlike eyes.

"Is there something that's been bothering you?" Matthew spoke through his tightened lips. "If there is, you can tell me."

He could see that she was avoiding his question.

Selina bit on her lip. "There isn't anything bothering me, Matthew. I just want to put an end to this relationship with you."

"Are you throwing a tantrum?"

Something triggered within Selina. "I am not throwing a tantrum! I keep telling you, I want to break up!"

She had already thought things through. She knew she wanted to break up with Matthew. There were no tantrums being thrown anywhere.
