chapter 5

STELLA POV.

Kairus and I were both silent as we made our way to Amara's house. I have received a lot of compliments from anyone, but it's different when Kairus compliments me.

I couldn't answer what he said earlier because I was at a loss for words. I felt that my face was as red as a tomato so I did nothing but look away.

I am confused myself. I really wanted to get to my friend's house but my heart was saying something else, like it wanted to be with Kairus, that it wished he hadn't stopped driving.

We were both silent and the only noise was the hum of the car, especially my heart. I know myself where I will be but why is it so hard to stop myself when you are with him and next to him. It's hard.

"We're here."

I came back to my senses when I heard him speak. I looked ahead and didn't realize we had entered a large gate of the house.

I immediately removed my seatbelt before I got out.

"BABY?"

A shout from my friend from the double door. It has a big smile and it is wearing a dress that is almost close to its body. My friend is beautiful.

I remained standing near the door of Kairus's car from where I got out.

Amara immediately ran to Kairus who had just gotten out of the car and greeted him with a hug. Amara hooked her two hands around Kairus' neck and while Kairus' two hands were holding Amara's waist.

They both kissed.

I remained standing. I froze in my place as I stared hard at their lips while moving slowly. I clenched my fist and tears were about to fall, but before that happened, I looked away and turned in another direction.

"I miss you." I heard Kairus' soft voice. I slowly turned back. I want to run but I can't step my feet as if something heavy is running over my foot.

"We just met earlier." Amara replied softly and I didn't miss a tender kiss. My tears rolled down my face and I bent down to look at my foot that was just nailed to where I was standing.

"Still, I miss you" Kairus answered gently. A single tear fell from my eyes. I don't know if I will regret going here.

I should be used to being hurt because imagine how long I hid my feelings but why is that? It still hurts when you see the man you love has someone else.

It hurts like hell!

"Besh? Are you there?" Suddenly, my friend said in shock. I immediately wiped my tears.

I've been here for a while besh!

I turned to them and wished I hadn't because when I turned around, Kairus was giving me a flower. I smiled.

"Yeeeeee!" I pretended to be excited while teasing them both. Amara's cheeks flushed before accepting the flower. I was smiling at them while teasing them but inside I was really hurting. It really hurts.

"Awww, ur so sweet --ohh by the way let's go inside, i can't wait to introduce u as my boyfriend"

Kairus just hid before Amara pulled him in and left me here. I followed them as they entered the house holding hands.

I bow down.

I want to go home and rest because the pain I received from today is very bad. I wanted to cry and let out a heartache but I stopped because I didn't want my eyes to swell.

I took a deep breath and calmed myself before I slowly walked inside. The heaviness in my chest and the happiness I felt when we were together disappeared and was replaced by pain.
