Misunderstanding

Garry sighed as he sat in the café with Carolyn-Mai, Cara for short. He glanced at her head in his palm while his other hand held loosely onto the pencil who's eraser he was now tapping against the table.

"I still don't get it." She said her eyebrows furrowed. "How did you get that answer?" He glanced at his watch cursing under his breath.

"Look, can we continue this tomorrow? It's three o'clock now and I need to be somewhere." He said packing his stuff up as he thought of Ib, he was already fifteen minutes late.

"Please? Just show me this one problem, it'll take less than five minutes." Something in her eyes changed as she smiled mischievously at him, "if you help me I can reward you."

"I said no damnit. I really need to leave now." He was walking from the table when she grabbed his wrist and turned him around, her lips crashing against his. He was in too much shock to respond at first when he heard the door open and a quiet gasp, he pulled away looking towards the door. Ib stood at the entrance her eyes filled with tears as she dropped her books.

"I-ib?" Garry whispered walking towards her slowly.

"I'm sorry," Ib said choking on sobs, "I have to go." She turned around and sprinted out of the cafe ignoring Garry's calls; he picked up her books and ran out to his car.

After searching for half an hour he sighed figuring she went home and drove back to his apartment complex. Turning off the car he sat back running a hand through his hair then getting out and walking towards the stairs. Once at his room he unlocked the door and went inside tossing the keys on the counter and closing the door behind him. When he looked up he found Ib laying curled up on his couch.

"Ib! Are you okay?" He ran over to her pulling her into a hug as he sat down next to her. She didn't respond, just wrapped her arms around his torso.

"Do you love her?" Ib asked after calming down. Garry was surprised by the question but shook his head immediately.

"No, not at all." He replied. He could've sworn he heard a quiet sigh of relief come from the small girl but just smiled thinking he probably imagined it.
