Hey guys! I actually forgot I had already finished chapter 4! Haha so here it is! Well here it is! Please review and enjoy. No wait it's enjoy THEN review! Haha thanks! ;)
I sputtered out some tea I was drinking. He leaned over the table trying to clean it off my face. I shrugged him off. "You're leaving?" No, it shouldn't be a question more like a statement. "You're leaving...You're leaving..." I started softly muttering the same phrase over looking down at my napkin on my knee. I could faintly hear him calling my name trying to calm me down. He took the same hand he was holding and softly kissed it. I looked back at him.
I would not be upset. Well not sound upset. Strong I got to stay strong, think about positive things. "Why are you leaving?" I mustered all my strength into that important question, trying to stay strong. I could tell from the look in his eye he was surprised that I wasn't upset. He expected me to be upset crying. No. Grace Bennett does not cry... I knew something like this would happen, but...not this soon.
"I told my father about my idea about expanding the company. He liked it, very much. He wants to put it in action as soon as possible. but to have it happen I have to be there. I'm suppose to be there two days ago, but I begged my father to have me stay. He wouldn't allow it if I was to start the new idea no matter how much he likes you." If he liked me he wouldn't do this to me. Right? No. Don't think like that. This is for the children. Those sweet children... He sighed deeply, hating this conversation, "I don't want to leave you though. I'm having a great time here. Especially with you. My father says he won't give me a choice, but I can just refuse to-"
"No!" I shouted. Most of the people of the restaurant looking at our table. Not awkward at all. "Umm I just found out my tea is unsweeten. Sorry please continue your dinner." I looked back at him, " Theo you can't give up your idea. It's an amazing idea. Just..." I'm going to regret this. " Just go. I don't want you to lose this oppurtunity. Plus it will be great to the kids all around the world."
"But I don't want to lose you. What about us?" He asked clutching my hand tighter. Another set of words I'm going to regret. "Us... Us is going to...be on hold." I saw the sadness in his eyes. They were in mine too, but I had to hide them. This is a great chance for him. Silence came over the table.
The waiter came back with our orders. We both ate our dinners silently and just asking how our dishes were. We didn't even get to argue about the check. I decided he could pay, not because of the unhappy news, but since I paid for the dinner from the night before. We walked out of the restaurant meeting the cool fall air. My cowboy boots clacking and his Italian made shoes tapping against the concrete pavement.
There was about a two feet distance between and not to sound weird, but it was killing me. Two feet being away from was hurting me but what about millions of feet away from each other. How would I feel about that? Assuming Theo had the same feeling he took my hand into his fitting perfectly. We walked hand-in-hand silently in the night except making some comments at the beautiful night.
Arriving at the front of my dorm I couldn't let go. I didn't want to. I looked down at the floor because I could feel the tears starting in my eyes. Theo saw the look, he lifted my head with one finger with his eyes meeting mine. Don't kiss me. It's going to make it worse. He pulled me into a tight hug and kissed me on the top of my head. "I'm sorry. I'm SO sorry." The tears in my eyes were burning. They were wanting to fall, but I wouldn't let them. Well at least not yet. We were stuck in this moment for quite awhile, chest to chest. Only just some days with him. That's it. Then what? What was going to happen? Would he call me or not? How long will he be gone? Will he ever come back? Questions popping in my head, making this whole situation even worse.
Finally after so many moments we pulled away looking at each other. "Well I shall see you in the morning, " I told him smiling at him trying to come up with the best smile I could come up with. He nodded, gave me a quick kiss on the cheek, and then left. I turned away opening the door. Once I heard the door close, the tears started falling down my cheeks. I tightly held the door handle as if it was my air, leaning against the door.
"Grace?" I heard my roomate, " You're home kind of early than normal. How was your night with Th-" She saw my tear-stained face. "Grace, are you okay?" I lightly shook my head and slowly started trodding towards my room ignoring Layla's calls.
Forget my homework, so what if I forget to do one night. Won't effect me, just notes. This would be a tough night probably.
Hey! Sorry it's shorter! But my cousin sad it's the most dramtic chapter? haha! Well sorry it's shorter. Does Grace seem OC a little? I thnk she kind of is...Is she? If she is I'm sorry! I'm trying to work on it to make her sound...HER. I'm trying really! I'll try to make Grace be Grace...Hopefully...Sorry! But please reivew and perhaps tell me your favorite parts! ^-^ Thanks!
