-Sharon's POV-

It's been exactly one week since I haven't seen Swayum and exactly one week since I have seen Nolan every single day. I know I like Swayum, and there is no use in hanging out with Nolan. I get it! But what about me? Doesn't my feelings matter? Don't I deserve to be cared for? Don't I deserve to be happy?

Every single second that I stay with Swayum makes me want him, but I can't do it. It is not a movie where after 1 hour and three songs the guy is in love with you. On the other hand, I want him to live me for me and not force myself on him.

I tried. I did I defend myself as a tear of frustration run down my face. I quickly wipe it away before anybody around me notices. I was in school in the study area on the third floor. I was supposed to be working on my project, but I couldn't focus.

I tried my best. I did whatever I can, but it remains a fact that you can't make somebody love you. And he doesn't love me. Heck, forget love. He doesn't love me. While Nolan likes me, he came to my house and got permission from my family to taking me out to a "dinner" as I'm not ready to date yet. Who does that? Tell me!

Swayum never made an effort to be more than friends, and I have known him for four years. What do you expect me to do? I tried to make myself feel better, but it didn't matter. I wanted to see Swayum in Nolan's face, and this made me want to cry. Frustrated I put my head down my arms.

"Knock, knock," I heard somebody say suddenly making me sit up instantly. I look to see Nolan. His smile fell turning into concern lines immediately seeing me my tear strain face. "Hey, what happened?" he asks interest as he raised his hand to wipe my tears but pulled his hand back halfway.

"Nothing. Just stressed about studies," I say wiping my tears and giving him a small smile. He looks at me frowning as if debating to believe me or not. I shook my head at him giving him a genuine smile. "You tell me, why are you here?" I ask closing my books as it was no use. I wasn't getting any studying done.

"I am here for you," he says smiling as it was the most obvious thing. "Nolan..." I started shaking my head but he cut me off taking my head in his and for once I let him.

-Swayum POV-

I smile knowing as I wait in the long line only buy her favorite mango smoothie. I smile remembering how she got me this that one day when I was feeling weak. That day she touched my heart. I knew she was a keeper. Because I told her my day was going bad, she went and got me a caramel macchiato blended and waited 15 minutes for me, which made her late for class.

Nobody has ever done anything like this for me. Though I have liked her since then, I haven't let her know it. I'm not sure if she feels the same for me or not. It seems like she is the same with all the guys. I frown at the thought of being just being another guy.

"Hi, what can I get you?" the lady ask bringing me out of my reverie. "Hey, one caramel macchiato blended with whip," I say smiling. She tells me the total, and I slide the card. As I wait for the drink to get ready, I fumble with my phone wondering if I should ask her to watch Deadpool.

Since I have seen Nolan's apparent interest in her, I have gotten insecure. I don't want to lose her. That's the reason I took her on that bike ride. I wanted to show her my real feelings and how much I understand her. That I appreciate the trust, she shows in me and that I will never break it.

"Your caramel macchiato is ready," I heard the lady call and went to pick it up. As I put the straw in for her, I decide I will ask her. I have to stand up and spend more time with her. I started walking to her stairs and went up to the third floor where I know she will be waiting for the next class.

Smiling big to myself, I slowly walk to the study area trying to be quiet so I can sneak up on her. I stop at the door of the study area as I glance around looking for her. There she was in the corner table, but she seems to be talking to somebody.

There was a blackboard hiding her company. I smile not bothered about the fact that isn't alone and walk slowly towards her holding the shake in my hand. Suddenly my smile fell as the figure hiding behind the blackboard was revealed, it was Nolan. Trying to keep my anger and jealousy, I still continue to walk, but now I had no smile on my face and the cup in my hand was about explode from my tight hold.

"Come on, Sharon. Please give a chance," I heard Nolan say as he reaches out his hand and grab hers making me see fire as I grit my teeth to stay quiet as I stop a foot away waiting to see what is happening here.

I waited for Sharon to remove her hand but she didn't. I couldn't believe it. She was looking at him with a sad/desperate face. "Nolan..." she started as she takes her hand as I wait for her to pull her hand but she doesn't.

"No. Please, let me say it now," he says as he grabs her other hand also. "I had always liked you especially last year when you changed as a beautiful, independent woman. I meant to talk to you last year but everybody that you don't date. I was scared of rejection and never asked you out. But I know now that you like me also. So please give us a chance. I won't let you down," he finishes looking right in her eye. I couldn't believe he asked her.

But I tried to calm myself knowing she would never say, would she? She doesn't like him! Right?! Just then she finally breaks the silence as she replies blushing, "Yes." Her one word made my whole world fell apart as I look at them with anger and hurt. Throwing the shake in the trash can loudly, I walk off from the campus not in a mood to attend any classes.

-Sharon POV-

"Thank you! Thank you! I promise I won't let you regret it," he says smiling immense happiness as he squeezes my hands as I blush looking down making him smirk. "Let's go," he says suddenly. I look at him confused. "Where?" I ask, but he didn't reply instead help me pack up my stuff and pulled me out to his car.

"Now tell me," I ask as we finally get on the highway. "We are going on our first official date," he smiling making me blush as he looks at me with those deep eyes. "No ifs and no buts, only us," he finished huskily as he squeeze my right hand which was still in his hold.

I look out the window not saying anything. It was a nice feeling to have somebody care for you like he does but my heart kept searching my Swayum in him. He only wanted Swayum, and no other but Brain reassured me that I made the right decision. But.. something was missing. It didn't feel like how I always imagined this day to feel like it.

"We are here," I heard him as I turn to ahead and realize we are at a lake. I look at him questioningly to which he smiles and tell me to come out. I do and follow him on this walkway. It was slightly misty making it very romantic for a walk. It was breathtaking, and suddenly it reminded me of my dream of taking long walks with Swayum with no destination in mind.

"I wanted to take a long romantic with you for today," he says smiling as his eyes intense eyes never leave my face making me look down smiling. I didn't know what to say, so I choose to stay quiet. He intertwined our fingers, and we walk swinging our hands. That is fun if only I weren't so self-conscious of him holding my hand.

I was looking down when suddenly Nolan pointed at something or to be precise something, "Isn't that your friend?" He was pointing at Swayum. He was about 3 feet to the right of us leaning on the railing lost in some dark thoughts. My instant thought was to run away without letting him see me, but just then he blink looking down and turn towards us.

Next, he slowly raise his head and instantly his eyes met mine making me gasp as I suddenly stop walking. Then, I felt his eyes travel down to our join hands, and I saw his eyes turn colder than the glacier of Antarctica.

For the first time, I didn't understand him. I couldn't read his face. It was like a blank slate, but his eyes turn had a fire that promises to burnt each and everyone that stood in front in his way. Seeing him like this, I felt a shiver run down my spine, and I unintentionally squeeze Nolan's hand. I felt his eyes gaze on me, but I could only look at Swayum.

As if he hasn't seen us, he turned to the other direction and went off. I stood there frozen as instant regret set in me. I wanted to run behind him and ask him why did he act like that. I wanted to shake him and demand the meaning behind his gaze. Demand to know the reason behind his anger. But I didn't do anything like it. I turned back to Nolan and headed back leaving my heart behind with Swayum as I use my mind to make decisions. It is not what I want but what is right.
