"Hendrix, do you love me?" I asked. That was a stupid question, but it was common for girls to ask that.
He raised his arm, placed his hand on my cheek, and rubbed my earlobe with his fingertip, "What about you?"
Me?
I was a little lost. It was a long time ago. I fell in love with Hendrix at first sight, and I carried on those beautiful feelings I had up until now. However, after such a long journey, I couldn't get any response from him. So, I had started to become less persistent and even planned to leave him.
Perhaps, I didn't love him as much as I thought I'd be anymore.
Seeing that I was silent, the light in his eyes dimmed. After a long pause, he said, "It's okay. We can take this slowly. We'll love each other deeply in the future."
I didn't say anything and just pushed him slightly, "Go take a bath. I'm tired."
It had been too long, and I should have let go of him earlier. I was really getting tired.
He planted a kiss on my forehead, then got out of bed and went into the bathroom.
I stared blankly at the ceiling.
The phone he left on the bed suddenly started vibrating, I didn't intend to pick it up, but the phone kept ringing, so I answered the phone.
"Hendrix, can you come over and accompany me? I'm alone, and I'm scared." Andrea sounded weak and fragile over the phone.
Glancing at the bathroom, I said, "He's taking a shower. You can call him later."
"Arianna!" Judging by her tone, she wasn’t happy that I answered. She continued, "Why did you answer Hendrix's phone? What are you guys doing?"
Her yelling made me feel a little annoyed, and I repeated, "I said Hendrix is taking a shower. Call him later!"
