Chapter 17
Claudia moved straight to the bed neglecting her surroundings and sat down, looking at Hazel who looked as awkward as she felt. Hazel brought over a small wooden chair to sit on, and looked up at Claudia, he face clouding in confusion.
Claudia sat forward slightly, wanting to close the distance, but waited for her friend's initiation. Hazel looked at Claudia's hair to distract herself from agent's lips. "Claudia, I want to know why you haven't talked to me about the time I was asleep, or seen me at all for that matter" Hazel asked leaning forward as well, tempting herself.
Claudia looked up "at the beginning I was mad about the plane" she began shifting herself away from Hazel's very tempting lips "I didn't mean to kiss you, but when I did, I couldn't help but like it" she heard Hazel gasp at that.
"Then I was annoyed at myself for not being there for you when you were hurt, I went into shock, I wouldn't let Doctor Vanessa help you because I was so afraid of letting you go. After I finally let her treat you, she left, then I wouldn't leave your bedside, I couldn't let you wake up alone, so I stayed for the whole time not wanting to leave you" Claudia whispered staring a blank spot on the wall, Hazel cringed at her friends words, She hadn't meant to cause all the harm that she did. "I stayed until you woke up, then my body wouldn't let me stay, I couldn't face the possibility you still didn't love me. I didn't want to go through the painfulness of seeing you and not having you" Claudia finished.
Hazel's inner defences broke down, "I wanted you to kiss me on the plane, but I was afraid you only wanted to kiss Leena, not me. So I pulled away, I spent the rest of the trip hitting my head against the wall, regretting my choice. After that, the Warehouse started going berserk so I helped around throwing myself into work trying to ignore my feelings" Hazel confessed trying to capture Claudia's eyes with her own "after I woke up, I found you beside me and for a second I dreaded the thought of me accidently betraying myself when I was asleep by calling to you like a normally do" Claudia looked at her with a small bit of worry stretching over her pale skin.
"Why did you think I was using you to replace Leena?" Claudia asked, Hazel blanched; leaning back into her seat realising she had slipped up. "Uhhh remember that morning in Germany when I had a bunch of hicky's on my neck?" Hazel mumbled looking away from a nodding Claudia in embarrassment "well you kind of accidently started kissing my neck in your sleep mistaking me for Leena, I pulled away after I realised that you weren't with me, but with her. I spent the night on the floor so I couldn't tempt myself with your hands on me" Hazel rushed the words out of her mouth, then standing up and moving over to the window next to the bed.
