Nobody can possibly know what another person thinks. People could say one thing only to mean another. Their actions may not reflect their thoughts.
He himself cannot say what love is, how could she? The closest he had come across love was when his mother was alive. But somehow, he knew what he felt for her was beyond infatuation. It was way beyond how he felt about anything.
She made him feel things others could not. Even though he has had little or no interaction with the opposite sex, he was certain of his feelings for her.
”I can't possibly read your mind, can I? You're the only one who can answer that.” Carl said as he withdrew his hands.
Kim bit down on her lips, ”I want to stay at home with you,”
He went back to staring at the pond, his thoughts unknown, ”Then stay.”
”But I….”
He did not let her complete her sentence as he said, ”Then go.”
He was sure she wanted to give reasons why she should stay in school. Before she started school, they had already debated on this very topic. The only difference is that he did not have an opinion. He would let her decide for herself.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.
”If I go….”
”We're not too far from your school if you're that worried. You can come back on weekends if you want to stay in school or just go from here. Whichever you choose is fine by me.” Responded Carl.
”Why don't you just ask me to stay?”
”I don't want to hold you back or control you. You're an adult, you can make those decisions yourself.”
She began arguing, ”You always made suggestions, now you're just acting irritated.”
”You should also remember you said I should not try to control you because we kissed. I promised I wouldn't do that, so I won't try to influence your decision.”
After he spoke, Kim stopped speaking, she accepted the fact that she brought this on herself.
”Okay, if we aren't going to be that intimate again, why don't you talk to me? You're the only one….”
”I'm the only one who's available? I remember you have two friends. Sean… never mind.” Carl chose to not his jealous show. He did not want Sean close to her the least bit but his mind kept replaying that video.
When she felt the rain drop on her face, she looked at the sky, it was slowly turning dark, the clouds had covered the sun.
”Let's go inside,” she suggested.
Carl also took a look at the clouds before moving inside while Kim trailed behind him. He directly went to his room, shutting the door even though he was aware of her presence.
Kim did not have the guts to open the door or ask him to, so she sat on the floor with her back against the door as her eyes watered.
The truth was that she did not understand her feelings for him. May be she only wanted his attention because she was used to it or she loved him, she couldn't tell. All she wanted to do was stay by his side as usual.
