Chapter 186: The silence
Mia's POV
To worsen it, I couldn't tell where she'd be and so I began to search hospitals, bars and had even gone over to her house but she wasn't there.
It was getting dark and I decided to visit the beach, scream and let out my heart. I got out of the taxi I drove in and ran in the sand on foot.
It was void of people or had just a few leaving. Once I got closer to the sea, i began to scream with tears in my eyes.
It turns out I wasn't the only one screaming here. Someone else was doing that.
It seems this person's scream was louder than mine and I had to stop. Perhaps, it's amaris.
Hastily, I dragged my legs towards the direction of this person and to my surprise, it was Caleb.
"Caleb!" I screamed and he was startled as I was a ghost. He stopped screaming and faced me properly.
"It's Bryan, can you and your crazy friend stop calling me that?"
"You follow me!" I yelled throwing my shoes at him. I opened my purse and threw every object inside on his face.
"What! You followed me!" He screeched using his elbow to shield his face.
Once I saw that everything in my hand was thrown to his direction, I fetched the sand and began to throw it at him.
"Stop following me! Arghh!"
"Shit! Stop that, you're after my life! I know that!"
"I hate you!" I cried as I stopped what I was doing and just sat on the sand.
"I do too because you keep occupying my mind" he muttered and I couldn't breath. His words, the way he says it makes me lose my mind.
I buried my face on my thighs sobbing the more and cursing my existence because nothing is working according to my plan.
Amaris hates me definitely and her hate is justified. I shouldn't have kept Caleb from her.
I heard his footsteps drawing closer to where I was and sat close to me. He grabbed a fistful of my hair and pulled my head to face him.
"How do I get rid of you because I'm not myself with you" he furthers and I blinked my eyes.
He should stop saying that, I'm getting pissed off already. What do I even tell him?
That amaris was his lover from the past and the way he approached her on their first encounter is so demeaning?
What would be his reaction? I was staring at his eyes, the passion in it, the curiousity and his will to know it all.
I know he had a lot of questions bottled up in his chest about amaris and why she referred to him in the same name.
"Why are you here?"
I shoved his hand away from my hair and growled at him.
"I should be asking you that" I mused and he growled while burying his feet in the sand just like me.
"You wouldn't answer you calls..."
"So you stalked me!" I raised an alarm but he smirked.
"Fuck I hate explaining but I didn't stalk you, the sea is where I can free my mind" he responded, gawping at me and I swallowed hard.
"What are you doing here? Ms stalker, because you look as though you were following me too"
"Argh! I didn't, I was just stressed out and came here to ease my head" I muttered in a sober tone intending to bury my face on my thighs again but Caleb snapped his fingers.
"Don't rest that head, it makes you pathetic" he ordered and I kept a forlorn gaze at him.
He looked so charming and his serious face only made him handsome in a wrong way.
"Your friend referred to me as Caleb, you're hiding something Mia and you wanted me to hide because of that thing"
There are just somethings that needs to be hidden but since they've already met, he should play the super hero and rescue her from Flynn.
"I told you, you look like someone I know and she mistook you..."
"Tell me about this Caleb, I need to know, were you guys in a relationship? A relative? Friend? Enemy, I need to work on something"
Silence.
I was just staring as he seems so intrigued to know about the name Caleb but I couldn't say a word because I was frozen, and still trying to snap out of my thoughts.
"It's best you don't know"
"Mia I need to know, it kills me that no one tells me the real me"
"You wouldn't like yourself either if you find out" i responded panting hard and then I closed my eyes.
His diluted eyes dragged me from head to toe and then he licked his lower lips.
"We were something... weren't we?"
Not again. Never because he belongs to amaris and not me.
"No, just let me be Caleb, If you want to know about yourself, why don't you ask amaris" i responded rising up from where I sat puzzled.
I moved to pick my items buried in the sand and while I tried to grab my shoes, Caleb grabbed them for me.
He is everywhere. Can't he just stay away? I rose my head to meet his hot gaze as he searches me eyes.
The way he stared seems as though he had figured out everything. He was quiet as his hands were still placed on mine.
"Am I her brother?" He whispered so seriously that he breaks me. I drew my hand from him and took my shoes.
He is ridiculous, thinking that amaris and he are siblings? Why wouldn't he ask if they were ever dating.
"Think whatever you want but I have a stressful day and I hope we never meet again" I muttered and almost immediately, it began to rain.
Damn it. It can't get any worse than this! Everything is killing me and I just feel like sobbing again.
Caleb stared at me. His eyes red but he wouldn't say a word. I was using my hands to cover my hair, the cold sticking to my skin already as the rain grew more heavier than expected.
He paced closer to me, carried me in his arms and began to run towards his car. He placed me gently inside and turned on the heater.
I was breathing hard, speechless and watching as he took off his shirt, dragged a polythene bag from behind him and placed it inside.
He then took an extra shirt from the back seat and threw it at me. Shit, he stalked me because how would he come with an extra shirt and the rain…
"I knew it would rain and I was planning on staying at the beach until it pours on me" he explains without looking at me.
