What? Two updates in one night! Yeah, this is just a sort of small "bridge" chapter. I decided to take a break form the light-hearted humor and delve into the darkness of Melanie's inner dialogue. Working on another chapter as we speak...
- Chapter 7 –Inner Dialogue –
When will I see you again?
The words resonated through my mind like church bells in a bell tower. I've been lying on my bed for the past half hour contemplating life. Curtains drawn and cell phone off, I couldn't stop thinking about him and the way he reached out for my arm as if… as if he didn't want me to go.
How much did he care for me?
This is silly, I told myself. He's a celebrity with professional things in his life, not to mention he's like, seventeen years older than me. Plus, we've only known each other for a short while, and I'm only here for the weekend!
But the look in his eyes when I was leaving…
Chivalry, I decided. He's just being chivalrous because I'm a young girl in a big city and I'm an easy target. He's probably just making sure nothing weird happens to me because…
Because why?
What am I to him? What are we, anyways? We're just two people who met under the strangest of circumstances and keep running into each other. I know a lot about him because I'm a huge fan, but at the same time, he knows plenty about me, too. So then if we're just friends... why does my stomach backflip when I see him?
I think I'm in love.
There's only one problem: every girl seems to be in love with Criss Angel. Every girl fawns over his perfectly sculpted body and fabulous hair. Every girl's heart melts when they see him holding his cat or playing with his trains. I'm just another one of those girls, except that I don't have to dream of what it would be like to spend a day with Criss Angel. And if he didn't want to spend time with me, he would have ditched me ages ago, right?
What is Criss Angel thinking?
