MAGICAL VILLAGE (PART 2)(CHAPTER 9) His eyes widened. “What? What do you…”“Look I know you’re probably thinking, how can I fall in love with somebody and I’ve only known them for 3 days, but there is nowhere in the law that it says you have to know somebody for a long time in order to fall in love with them. Right?” “Yeah, but are you sure this is not like a crush or something?” “NO. look, I’m21 years old. How do I look like having a crush. I am so out of that level right now”. He paused for a moment. “I don’t know…what to say. I…” “I understand. You don’t love me”. I crossed my arms and sat further back in the chair. I could feel water building up in my eyes. “I’m sorry. Rolanda, but it’s just…I don’t feel the same way about you. I like you and everything. You’re a wonderful, nice person, but…” “Look, I understand. It’s okay”. I turned to the side so he wouldn’t see my face. I tried to change the subject. “So…” I wiped my tears away before I faced him. “…I wonder what the others are doing”. I sat up straight. “Ah. You sure you’re okay?” “YES, GOD DAMNIT. HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU? GOSH!” “Okay. I’m sorry” he tried to rub my back for comfort, but I pushed his hand away. “Don’t fucking touch me. God when is this ride going to be over?” suddenly we appeared in light and the boats stopped. “Thank God”. I stepped out of the boat to the pavement. I started speed walking. “LANDA. WAIT. WAIT” he caught up to me and turned me around. “LISTEN…” “You OBVIOUSLY DON’T WANT ME SO I COULD HELP YOU ON THAT”. “I didn’t SAY I DON’T WANT YOU”. “Well you meant to say it, but in a different way”. He was holding onto both of my arms. “LOOK I DON’T WANT YOU” I released from his grip and walked away. “I NEED YOU. LANDA I’M IN LOVE WITH YOU TOO”. |
