Burning Attraction - Chapter Two (2)

Hi everyone!!! Sorry for the late post.
Thanks Meh and Annie :D...

This is the second chapter hope you guys enjoy it!!! and sorry for any grammatical and spelling errors oh and the somewhat boring parts lol. Feel free to comment.

Craven's POV

-"Simi! relax will you..." I said as she constantly kept asking what was wrong with me.
"Sorry, Craven, but is just that I've never seen you like this, you always happen to be the one to be strong"
I took her hands into mines and I urge myself to let out what I held back all my life ever since I knew her.
-"Simi, what I wanted to tell you was that..." my voice rattled as I spoke and I could feel my hands shaking in hers. "Simi I think I like you!" there I said it!
I watched as she stared into my eyes as I spoke the last few words.

Simi's POV

I didn't know what to say, I just sat there, speechless...
"You think you like me?" "you think" I said in a softer tone of voice.
I so urged the connection with another being that I was pissed he even told me something like that.
"Well...yes I think I like you.." he said again.
I pulled my hands away from his and a pushed away a little from where he sat.
I was so shocked and caught off guard of what was going on that I burst out... "HOW DEAR YOU!!!!" The feeling I had inside was hard to explain, he became something so distanced to me in a matter of a second that I hated him in that second he crossed that line. But I could never hate him, he means so much too me. I started thinking about all those times we spent together..."was he really doing it to make me feel better or for the betterment of himself" I said in my mind, as he turned away watching the distance.

"What do you mean, Simi I am just telling you how I feel. I have been having sleepless nights because off you, I think you owe me some credit of being honest with you..."

-"I owe you some credit...so tell me Craven why didn't you tell me this before??? why you didn't tell me this the day I asked you in school if you did??? remember that time Craven?" "Remember when in school Danni and Niki was constantly annoying me in class telling me that you like me, because of how we always used to spend time together?" "Craven you said no..."
"I know I said no...but I didn't want to lose you Simi, please understand" he said.
"Why in the world would someone tell someone that they think they like them???" I said in a louder tone. "Is either you do or you don't!"

My eyes filled with tears, I felt used inside for some reason. I felt as though what was before really wasn't. All the urges inside me just freaked out...he will never understand that. "I have to go..." I said as I turned away fast so he wouldn't see the tears . I got up and quickly walked away.
"But Simi! wait will you"

Craven's POV

"F**k !!! what is wrong with her?what us wrong with me..." I had my chance and blew it. She means so much too me if she only knew. but for some reason she blocks me out. I'm sure I sent those signals to her more than once,i tried to show her that may be I want to be more than just her friend, but she ignored me for some reason. I didn't want to tell her how I felt in school because I was afraid what she might think...because she never gave me the impression that she liked me..she never told me.., and I just wasn't up for rejection. but look at me now, rejected!
I feel so f**ked up!!

Present Day....

Simi's POV

I kept walking to the company, but I felt that my mind was somewhere else. Why am I always thinking about him?? Does this mean I like him too?? I can't eat, sleep or function this has to mean something.... but what.

I reached the company and walked right in, the lady in the lobby acknowledged me and directed me to the third floor of the building where I would be working. The office was nice and small. It had one desk, one computer and a couple of filing cabinets.

"Ms Green, this is where you will be working," the receptionist from the lobby said.
'Thank you Miss" I said.
she showed me what was expected of me for the day and it was that time again I was by my self again.

"Hello dear" Mrs Conner from the office next door bounced in to say hello.
"Hi" I said shyly.
"So you are the new girl who will be holding on for Brenda?"
"Yes Mame"
"My name is Jennifer, you can call me Jenny, mam makes me feel as though I am 40 years.." she said sarcastically smiling
"Ok sorry, Jenny" I said laughing.
"well you enjoy your stay with us"
"thank you Jenny I will try to."

Some time passed and I kept looking at the clock on the wall...I kept praying for the time to come for me to leave. Everybody in the workplace was kind to me that was one good thing about the job. The air condition was getting too cold that I felt I needed the heat of the sun to cool down my body, so I got up and headed for the small balcony from the third floor overlooking the small town.

The door was a big and hard to open so I pushed it with all my might, finally it opened and I was on the balcony. The view was beautiful, the sun's heat felt good. I took out my cell phone and I finally held my ground... I started to compute a text message to Craven... " hi Craven" I paused..."this probably the bravest thing I will ever do in my life... I like you too, I freaked out the other day and I just wanted to let you know that I like you. Do you still like me?"
I pressed sent! and from that very moment the texted was sent I felt like a motion of fear suppressed my body for a second. "what did I just do," I said to myself..
Do I really like him???

I started day dreaming when I heard the door like someone was coming, it suddenly burst open and this tall, dark, handsome guy walked out.
As the door open he looked straight at me into my eyes, I looked away shyly. I felt his stare, my pours raised and I shivered inside. "who was he?" I said in my mind. He didn't say anything to me not even good day. I started to feel uncomfortable then I left just as he started to light up a cigarette.
