Helena
I leave the building as quickly as my shaking body could take me {What on earth just happened} I thought to myself whilst checking my phone.
"Shit." I muttered realising that Tim had called me 4 times.
Sorry baby, have to work late tonight. As I sent the text I tried to fix together what on earth just happened through there, I realised that I couldn't just leave the situation as it is and headed back to the building.
The building was still warm from today's work and the lights were still on which meant that Colin was still here.
"Colin?" I called hoping that he would still be here and up to chat. "Hello?" my voice bounced off the walls and echoed throughout the eery set.
"Helena!" Colin met me halfway down the hall "I thought you left?" he questioned
"I..well yes-" I smiled "Look Colin we need to talk about this love."
"Im sorry I shouldn't of-"
I interrupted his apology "NO! don't be silly I certainly enjoyed myself"
"It was wrong and I-"
"Colin will you please shut up and listen to me!" I ordered sounding bossier than I intended. "Look-" I took his hand and sat down on the wooden chairs nearby "Colin this morning I woke up in...well..your bed." I waited for what seemed like hours for a reply.
"Oh.."
"Yes...oh, I just…" My voice cracked, feeling instantly annoyed that I gave him a glimpse of my feelings "Colin-"
"Helena" he hushed, pulling me in for a tight hug "Shh...don't say anything."
I sniffed trying to hold back the tears.
"Look" I did so and he smiled, putting a piece of hair behind my ear "I don't know why this keeps happening, but I am certainly glad that it did. Tim is such a lucky man to have you, I would do anything to trade places with him but you're not mine, Helena...what i'm essentially trying to say is that..well, I love you Helena." And with this he leaned down and slowly kissed me.
"Hello?" a new voice appeared from the doorway. "Helena! Collin!" It was Geoffrey. "I um…"
I broke the kiss immediately and pulled away from Colin, leaving the warmth and softness that I had just felt with him. "Geoffrey!" I exclaimed. "We were just-" I stopped in mid sentence {What's the point in even trying to explain this, even I don't know what's going on here.}
"Oh not to worry Helena" Geoffrey winked surprising me with his reaction to the kiss. "Anyway I'll leave you two lovebirds to it." and with that he left.
I smiled up at Colin "Lovebirds is one way of putting it I suppose."
The End
