BLAIRE

I was fiddling with my thumb while we were on the plane. We are now on our way back to the city. I have no idea what’s going to happen next. Though I haven’t decided whether I should tell Sebastian the truth about Blaze, it seems like I have no choice but to admit it.

I have been throwing a glance at Sebastian, trying to find the right opportunity to open up the topic. I lost count of how many times I have been swallowing hard, hoping to get rid of the invisible lump in my throat. However, no matter how much I tried, there’s nothing coming out of my mouth.

I took a deep breath, gathering all the courage to talk to him, but just when I was about to speak up, his phone rang.

He looked at me for a second as he glanced at his phone screen. Instead of answering it, he stood up and went to the back before pulling out the curtain to cover the area.

It didn’t take long for me to figure out who it was on the other line. How stupid I was to completely forget about the other person in his life! All the courage that I’ve been gathering up since we got into the plane flew out of the window.

After a few minutes, he went back to his seat. I fixed my eyes outside the window, not bothering to look at him.

“Are you hungry?” he asked. It’s the first time that he’s talked to me since we got here.

“I’m good,” I answered briefly without looking in his direction.

I heard him blow a loud sigh before staying silent once again. I felt his hand trying to hold mine, but I casually removed my hand resting on the armrest and crossed both of my arms in front of my chest.

We stayed in that position for the entire flight. I was so engrossed in looking at the clouds outside the window that I didn’t. realize I had fallen asleep.

I was eventually woken up by a warm hand softly caressing my cheeks. I slowly opened my eyes, and I quickly welcomed Sebastian’s mesmerizing eyes.
