"Tedros!" I screamed, pulling away from him. Stumbling slightly, I clinged onto his shirt, causing him to drop also. He tripped, stableness caught onto him like a charm as he wrapped his arm around my waist. He slapped another arm onto the wall as he pulled us back up. "That caught you off guard..." He chuckled, fiddling with my hair. I wriggled away from him, feeling awfully uncomfortable. "Tedros, I told you. I told you what I wanted." I crossed my arms as he rolled his eyes, kneeling on the wall. "What?" His question was almost like a hiss as he trailed away from me. "I told you that I'm not here to rekindle what we had..." Sighing, he ran his fingers through his hair just before pulling back on his shades. "Agatha, I don't want to sound like an idiot. Why did you allow me to kiss you?" I shuffled around, pushing my hands into my pocket. "I-I was in the moment...I- it didn't mean anything."
He scoffed, rolling his eyes. Sending me a mirthless smile, he turned his back. "That's what that was? It didn't mean anything?" Tedros began walking down the stairs, I could tell he wasn't in the mood to speak to me and I don't blame him. "Tedros..." I reached for his jacket, but he brushed me off. "Tedros!" I yelled. I hissed as his name echoed off walls. Turning back, he took off his shades, sending me a chilling glare. Clearing my throat, I took another deep breath. "I'm sorry. Please come back..." He shrugged, giving me an odd look. "For what? Wanna tell me how bad I am? Why you don't want me?" I groaned, walking down the stairs to meet him. "Come on, let's get out of here." I smiled weakly at him, watching his sour facial expression soften. "Agatha, I'm not in the mood for this." My smile turned into a grin, he couldn't resist that. "Alright..." Grabbing his hand, I pulled him along, taking control.
Pushing the glass door open, we trailed along to the car. "Sorry for shouting at you like that..." He mumbled, opening his door. I sighed, opening mine. "I don't mind at all. I kind of deserve it anyway." He chuckled, starting up his car. "We embarrassed ourselves with all that shouting." I nodded, recalling the brunette lady who gave us stares as we wondered out. "We were just in the moment." I slapped my palm onto his thigh as he gave me a broad smile. "Would you ever kiss me again?" He questioned, turning a sharp corner. I shrugged, "Will you ever make me feel guilty again?" He laughed, focusing on the road. "I'll keep that in mind."
"Where are we going?" I questioned, feeling quite uneasy. He sighed, raising the volume of his music. "Just wait, okay." I nodded, watching him zoom down the lane. I cleared my throat, shuffling in my seat. "I hope this isn't some type of date." He started off with a faint chuckle, but as the seconds went by, it grew and grew. "Woah! Aren't you a little bit eager?" I rolled my eyes, my cheeks burning. I squealed as I felt a warm nudge on my arm. "Don't take it too seriously, I was just joking." Tedros slowed down, finding a space to park in. Spotting one at the far end, he rolled into it. "What is this place?" I questioned, watching him open his door. "A park. Never been to one before?" I shook my head, following him out. I gaped, staring at the newly sprouted pink blossoms. "This looks pretty." I pierced my mouth shut, carefully watching Tedros as he examined my face. "What?" We broke into laughter for we said it at the same time. "Nothing..." He sighed, grabbing my right hand.
"Did I ever tell you that you look amazing?" I sighed as I felt my hands start to heat up. Staring at Tedros, I realised that he felt it too. "Sweaty palms." I giggled nervously, wiping my palms on my shirt. Tedros shrugged, taking it again. "I don't mind. I find it cute..." I gave him a tremulous grin, hissing as my clumsy feet led me right into his chest. "I'm sorry. Not really good with this romantic stuff." He chuckled, tightening the grip he had on my hand. "I know..." I snorted, covering my mouth as I realised what I just did. Tedros chuckled, hugging me slightly. "This is complicated..." He sighed, fiddling with my hair once again. "I know..." We continued walking down the isle, staring at flowers. "Agatha, why did you leave?" I stopped, almost choking on my spit. I was hit by a sudden realisation 'spell', causing me to stumble slightly. Tedros turned around to face me, chuckling slightly. "Are you okay? You look like you swallowed a frog." I cleared my throat, running my fingers through my hair. "I'm fine...Tedros, to be honest...I do like you...a lot, but-" Tedros smiled, wrapping his arms around me. "I like you a lot too. But you're not answering my question." I rolled my ears, shaking loose as I placed my hands onto my hips. "I was going to get to that until you rudely interrupted." He chuckled, placing a kiss on my forehead. I sighed, shaking loose from him. "But I left Colton to put you back on track. I'm not going to let this thing that we have get in the way of doing that. I can't get that accomplished with you trying to eat my face all the time." He had a cheesy smile on his face, as if he was trying to stop himself from laughing.
"But you've got it wrong. Maybe I just need you to stop drinking." I stopped, recalling the night he actually said that to me. He told me I was the reason why he started drinking, why didn't I listen to him?
"What is wrong with you? You're twisted." I exclaimed, walking down the corridor.
He groaned, opening the door again and stormed for me. "Because I deserve it!" I looked at him, my eyes softening.
He gave me the most obvious hints about how he wanted me, but I was to wayward to listen.
"Tedros is quite the drinker," He sighed, staring at me. "He says it makes him feel whole."
Tedros sighed, squeezing my hand once again. "You know what I want to do right now?" I shook my head, waiting for him to speak again. "I want to have a drink," I cleared my throat, wishing those words hadn't come out if his mouth. He smiled and suddenly I felt the urge to do the same. "But I can't, because I'm with you." I cocked an eyebrow, clearing my throat. "It's like sitting on a sofa and you're told to do a chore, but you just want to sit around." I chuckled, punching him lightly in the arm. "I'm guessing I'm the sofa." He nodded, leaning in to kiss me, but I dodged it. "Why don't you go get a drink or something. Non-alcoholic!" He chuckled, releasing me from his grip. "Want anything?" I shook my head, chuckling to myself as I watched him walk away. "I'll be right here..." I mumbled walking towards a bench.
"Aggie?" I cocked an eyebrow, turning around. "Ted- Sophie?!" I screamed, almost fallling the other way. "Aggie!" The blonde haired girl squealed, almost choking me as she pulled me in for a hug. I stayed in the same posture. my mouth agape and my bug eyes wide with suprise. "Why are you here?" I questioned, shaking loose. She giggled, pulling on her frilly, pink mini skirt. "I came to get a living, just like you," She looked down, eyeing my blue jeans. "And by the looks of it, you're not doing very good. I hope you're not living in the park." I blinked, blushing a dark shade of red. "No!" She smiled, hands on her hips. "That's great! That means I can live with you." My small smile faded and my facial expression turned serious. "No hard feelings, seriously. But I left to get away from everyone..." She rolled her eyes, chuckling. "Right, right. Any who. You missed my birthday." I nodded, realising she was now nineteen. "Sorry, I'm guessing you want me to buy you a present or something."
She nodded as if I was finally catching on. "Well if you want too." She giggled and I swear, I heard a tiny cackle in there. "So, I saw you with a boy. What's his name?" She looked around, trying to spot Tedros. I cleared my throat, not wanting her to get anywhere near him. "I got a cola, happy?" Tedros walked into the picture, taking a long sip out of his coke. I chuckled nervously, watching Sophie's eyes turn dark. "Tedros?" He looked her way, almost spitting the cola out of his mouth. He swallowed, taking my hand. He pulled me closer, giving her a sardonic smile. He placed a tiny kiss on my forehead, noticing her hands had fisted up.
"Oh, Sophie."
