I felt something heavy in my head as I open my eyes from sleep. I’m not even aware that I fell asleep.
My eyes widen when I realize that my head was resting on Nathaniel’s shoulder.
His head resting is resting in my head. That explains the heavy thing I felt. If others will see us now, they would probably think that we are a couple who will take a vacation somewhere because of our position.
I slowly grabbed his head so that I could sit properly. But suddenly he moved his head closer to my neck and his right arm embraced me.
I turned my gazed to his arm, it’s been a long since this jerk hugs me. I felt the fast beating of my heart. I remember, I always felt this way when I was hugging him or him hugging me before.
I shook my head to get rid of the past thoughts in my mind.
No yna! Your heart doesn't beat fast because of it. You’re mad at this jerk remember. You already move on from him.
Remember he hurt you so bad. He disregards you when he doesn’t need you anymore. He lied to you.
I shook him a little at his arm to wake him up.
"Hey jerk! Wake up!" I said in an annoying voice.
But he didn’t wake up. That’s why I shook his arm again.
"Nathaniel!" waking him up.
But still, he didn’t react again.
I sighed.
It looks like I don’t have a choice. I’m just going to let this jerk sleep for now.
But I’m going to make you pay when you woke up!
I reached for my handbag and took my phone. I decided to play some mobile games.
After minutes of playing crossword Nathaniel move again and start to hug me tighter. I can already feel his breathing on my neck.
"Love" he whispered.
My mouth fell open.
I looked at him. I feel that I stopped breathing when I heard him saying that.
'Love?'
That was our endearment before. My heartbeat is faster than before. Is he calling me?
I shook my head in that idea.
It’s so impossible. Maybe it’s not me he’s calling.
Our memory together starts to flashes through my mind. All the happiness and sadness moment. The happiness of being in love with someone that says he loves you too, our happy moments to the prom, our first kiss and lastly how he broke my heart.
I know it's been a long time but I don't know why I still feel the pain of the past. I could still feel pain the last words he said while breaking up with me. How his words torn my heart apart.
I try to calm myself and stop reminiscing the past. But I can’t still forget all the memories I had with him.
Maybe Aria’s right that after all these years. Nathaniel still has a big effect on my life and in my system.
"Georgina, love I missed you" Nathaniel whispered again.
My eyes widen. f**k! Did he just say he missed me?
I can feel my eyes getting blurred.
You really are an asshole, Nathaniel. How dare you say that?
How dare make me feel this way? Gosh, I really need to flush him out to my system.
I’m not going to fall to your lie again Nathaniel.
I focus my attention again on my phone to get rid of anything about Nathaniel. After minutes of playing, I fell asleep again.

Nathaniel
I’m trying my best to pretend that I’m sleeping and Georgina not to notice it. I’m taking this once in a lifetime chance to hug her.
It's hard to find this kind of opportunity and I terribly missed her so much.
I felt like she stopped breathing the moment I called her by our endearment before and whispered that I missed her. For a while she didn't react but after a while went back to playing it on the cellphone.
I know that it’s going to be hard to melt her wall but I will not be turned my back from this. I’m going to win her back.
I’m thankful to Damien and Aria’s wedding, and I have the opportunity like this. I’ve been waiting for this opportunity and I’m not going to waste it.
If I need to kneel down to take her back, I will do it.
I will do everything for her. To own me again, to love me again and to be with my side as long as God let me.
I felt that she fell asleep again. I move my head up.
After a while, Georgina move and rest head to my shoulders again.
I took advantage of the opportunity and picked up my cellphone. I took a photo of us.
I kiss her on her forehead while taking pictures of us.
It will be good for my phone's wallpaper. My current phone’s wallpaper was also a photo of me and Georgina. Way back in high school.
It took two hours before Georgina woke up.
I can hear her mumbled something.
"Good morning love" I greet her.
She glared at me and pouted her kissable lips.
"You, you jerk. You made me your pillow while you were asleep."
I pretend that I didn’t understand what she was saying.
"What are you talking about love? You were the who made me a pillow and you were hugging me too" I smirk at her.
She froze for a while and start to give me a murderous stare.
"What did you just call me?"
This is not how this is supposed to go. It looks like she really loathes me.
I shrugged my shoulder and didn’t say a word.

I’m was sure Nathaniel calls me again 'love' but the thing is now he's awake. He’s not asleep now not like the first time.
I waited for him to answer me but he didn’t say a word and just stare at her.
I'd tried to read what’s going on in his head but I can’t. So, I just returned the topic earlier about him hugging me.
"Uhm... You were sleeping on my shoulder a while ago. You did it first so don’t make it a big deal if I also fell asleep on your shoulder." I told him.
He chuckled. "Well I wasn't thinking it that way but..." his head moves closer to mine. "You were the first one who did it, you did it twice and I did it once. It means you owe me one," he said in a husky tone. His voice was music to my ear.
We stared at each other's eyes. His eyes move and stop at my lips. Like him, my eyes went to his lips too. I bite my lip remembering the time a tasted it.
I feel my cheek flushed. I know I'm blushing.
Fortunately, I immediately woke up from reality. Don't patronize his moves. Don’t let yourself fall for this jerk and hurt you again.
You're not the old Georgina who fell for this man. So, don't.
Don't.
