"You need to tell him." She repeated.

"What if he does not feel the same way?" I asked quietly.

Her arms crossed and she looked slightly annoyed "You are just trying to find an excuse to back away. It is not in your nature to just sit back and watch everything unfold. What happened to my best friend that threw popcorn at the TV screen when the main heroine would sit back and wait for her love interest to come and get her?"

My hands went to tug down my dress because I started to feel exposed.

"You once told me that you despised Cinderella for sitting around and waiting for her prince." Lana added.

She was right.

I was not Cinderella, I was Drizella. Just like Stone had told me.

The words repeated in my head like a never-ending poem. I loved him.

All this time, I was not really challenging him. I was challenging myself not to fall for him and that failed miserably.

It was inevitable.

To others, he was intimidating and rude. To me, he was caring and selfless. He had a great sense of humour and never failed to make me laugh. He was smart and as big of a nerd as I was. He was the best guy I had ever met and probably always would be.

Only he alone could set my soul on my fire. He annoyed me like nobody else in the best possible way. He was the only one that could linger on my mind all day and all night.

I could compare it to falling off The Golden Gate Bridge. I was holding on so tightly to stop myself from descending, but it was inescapable. I was going to fall anyway. It was destined. Just because I convinced myself that I was not falling did not change the outcome.

Chapter Thirty-Eight

Chapter Thirty-Eight

Store after store, minutes slipped away until morning became afternoon then night. Lana and I really did shop until we dropped. The dropping part just happened to be at the food court where we spent a good amount of time refuelling ourselves after a stressful day of dress shopping.

My mind however was somewhere else. I could not even fully enjoy my pizza because I was too busy thinking about how my next encounter with Stone would go.

That train of thought still ran around in my head as I made my way up the stairs in my apartment building.

The hallway was brightly lit due to the darkness outside. I was counting the lightbulbs on the ceiling as I walked upwards, trying to reassure myself that he would not be there because he had a full day of work. I told myself that he would be back at his house.
