Heart of Yours

Chapter 44

POV : Guess who!

I watch as he takes a sip of his coffee and scrolls something on his tab. He looks different than usual. And I don't know where he has been for the past few days. But he really does look different.

"Is there anything you would like, ma'am?" The waitress asked me, forcing me to look at her.

"Yes. A refill would do good, thanks" I say and point my finger at the empty cup before me.

She nods, with a forced smile on her face and walks away to fetch the coffee pot. My eyes fall on the man again. His eyebrows look knit, and worried as he reads something on his tab again.

I watch him make necessary phone calls with his eyes still on the tab in his hands. The waitress clears her throat as she glances between me and him, and rolls his eyes as she walks away.

I don't mind about it at all. I take a sip of my americano and watch him again. But this time, he is not there. My eyes quickly shift to the main door and I find him leaving the place. I sigh as I close my eyes for a moment. And memories come flooding back to me. Like it happened just yesterday.

I fell in love when I wasn't supposed to. I fell in love with someone I should have known I never stood a chance with. But I didn't listen to anyone or my own mind, at least. I listened to my heart and went for it blindly.

I thought love was everything. I thought love is what that kept the world running.

But I was young and I was nothing but a fool. A fool that I made out of myself by believing in love. Werewolves have mates, after all. They don't have lovers and that's where I made a mistake.

And the result of it is loneliness. At the end of the day I lost everyone. I lost my family. I lost the man I loved. I lost my own self. And I lost many more. But all I have left now, is the love I still have. Just not for the same person.

I pay for the coffee and walk out, with my coat loosely around me. I don't know why I wore this even though it's not that cold outside. Maybe I was absent minded this morning, wondering if I would get a chance to see him. Like I said, it's been days but thank goodness I finally saw him again. I was starting to get worried.

I smile at the lady who sells flowers right around the corner. She was one of the few members who helped me when I first moved here. I still buy flowers from her, not because I want them. But because it could help her in some way. Sometimes all her flowers would be sold before I even got a bunch. She has a good eye for the colorful ones.

I make it home and the scent says it all. That she is here.

"Oh how do you still have the key?" I shout into the home, as I take my coat off and walk towards the living room.

"Hello to you too, Alanna"
