NOW ON TO THE HIIIIIIIIIITTTTTT!

Chapter 10; Seriously?

He watched her from afar. She was smiling… a very fake blue smile. He turned, leaned against the wall and looked up at the ceiling. Why did he have to mess up… that 'much'?

I have to apologize he thought and turned once again to stare into her eyes. Even from far, he could still them… The vastness… the guilt…The pain… He turned on his heels, bit his lower lip and frowned.

Pardon my cowardliness, Flora.

He got up to his room, sat on his couch and buried his face in his hands.

Fuck he thought. He was acting like such a coward and that was something so new to him. Something he never experienced before. Why was he so weak in front of her? he thought.

He looked in front of him and slightly twisted his head to the left at the shining metal on his desk; Flora's earring.

He looked down one last time, took a deep breath and got up. In a swift movement, he grabbed the earring with his left hand and exited his room.

Finding the courage to look her in the eyes, let alone apologizing, was more tough than he thought, though.

He found her outside, at the front gate, watering her plants, serene as she was… or pretended to be. He stared at her and frowned. What would he say to her anyway?

It was inexplicable and unacceptable. His heart sank. He hurt her so badly yet he was still being such a coward. Such a jerk. He felt disgusted at himself for being so immature.

Yet, he knew he would have to apologize to her today or tomorrow. He sighed at the sight in front of him and turned his back, shoulders stooped.

I'm sorry Flora… I'm really sorry…

He felt a sting in his heart as he walked- head down; in shame. And that was when it shook him; he stopped dead in his tracks.

Of course! he thought.

Dressed in a black leather jacket, a white shirt, and black jeans, he roamed around the resort, searching for Flora.

"Flora," he muttered, peeking into her room, coincidentally open. He frowned when he did not find her inside. Does she always disappear like that? he thought.

He trolled around until he found her in the backyard's garden. Dark clouds covered the sky, warning of a thunderstorm and reflection of the gentle figure in front of him. She stood, sad as ever, contemplating the blooming white orchids just a few meters ahead of him, clearly not yet noticing his presence.

He looked down in shame and sighed.

"Flora…" he murmured, taking two steps forward.

She jerked her head to the right and gasped. "Helia?"

Her expression hurt him to the core. She looked terrified, scared… of him. It was sure that she was hurt, damn hurt but her look soon changed drastically; she tried to mask her feelings. He felt his heart crush into a million pieces as he saw her like that; trying desperately to hold the tears.

She stepped backward while he remained there, congealed on the ground; watching this new form of her, result of his frustration and anger and maybe even his stupidity.

He threw his right arm in the air as if to hold her. "Flora-," he said but was cut off by her feeble voice.

"What do you want?" she glared at him, her voice cracking."Flora… You-," he tried to say but was again cut off by her.

"No," she twisted her head to the side. "I'm sorry," A tear rolled down her cheek. "I'm really sorry," He felt a sudden hatred towards himself. Why hurt such an amazing being? He stepped closer to her but she shrank away from him.

She stopped when her back fell in contact with the wall. He inched closer to her, a few centimeters apart.

He sighed and took her hands in his, his eyes immersed in hers. Once he saw the tears she tried to hide behind that tough face, he felt a hole in his heart.

In cue, lightning flashed in the sky accompanied by thunder and a clash of rain. How cliché is that? he thought.

"Helia… You-,"

"Shhh," he cut her off, rain falling upon them. "I am the one who should be sorry,"

She rolled her eyes. "Gag me,"

He frowned. She sounded angry but he could sense all the tears she held, the pain inside of her but she didn't want to sound weak so she hid her feelings. He should have known, Flora was a wild flower.

"Flora… I'm really sorry I've acted like a jerk,"

"No," she interrupted him. "I should have known,"

"Shhh-," He let go of her hands and pushed away her bangs. "I'm the one to be blamed, not you… I've ventured all my frustration on you, something I should have never done in the first place. I'm sorry Flora. I'm really sorry. I've misunderstood you so much… I was so wrong… Flora, I'm really sorry. I've really acted like a complete jerk,"

Flora stared into his eyes, searching for something specific. Once she found it, she furrowed her eyebrows. She looked down and looked back once again in his eyes.

"I mean it," Helia said. Flora shook her head. "Seriously?"

"Seriously," he nodded, pouting. A wide goofy smile starting to creep on his face once he realized where she was going around. "Seriously?" he repeated.

"Seriously," she smiled one of her best-winning smiles and nodded. "YES!" he grinned, clasping their hands together. She had forgiven him.

A lightning bolt suddenly shot right above their heads accompanied by a loud clash, making Flora jump in Helias' arms in shock. He smiled when he felt a sudden spark flashing in him. He hugged her back. She had felt it too, he just knew it. It was like their chemistry got transmitted into that lightning bolt and then exploded in their bodies like an electricity charge.

She looked up at him. He smirked "You have a weird sense of payback Flo-," He let out a small chuckle. "But I must say I like it," Her face fell along with her arms. She turned and crossed her arms over her chest. "Very funny-," She turned to look at him with a glare. "You want a payback? Don't worry you'll get it,"

She then walked away, leaving him frowning. He immediately detected something wrong when she said that. She suddenly stopped and turned her head to the side. "And yeah, that would be for two things. One for drenching me-," She spread her arms wide open and looked down at her completely drenched dress with a pout and then regained her posture. "And secondly, for breaking my heart,"

Helia felt his heart tightened at her words. She was about to walk away when he grabbed her left hand by instinct and pulled her close to him, her back onto his chest. He entwined their hands together while his other hand ran across her waist. He bent his head to her ear and whispered "Have I hurt you that much?"

She tore her hand away from his grasp in a brisk movement and pulled away from him.

His face fell at her gentle figure; alone in the rain, broken, soon disappearing…

She acts like summer and walks like rain
