Chapter 58
Hearing you say that you loved me, it filled me with this incredible happiness that even now hasn’t gone away. I was sad of course that you, ultimately, still rejected me, but just knowing that you felt the same way about me made all the difference.
Who cares if you rejected me right now?
You already liked me, so that was half the battle already won. Now I just needed to figure out how to change your mind...
"You know," I started, "I think... Wait. Do you hear that?"
"Hear what?"
I sat up and turned my head back and forth. I could definitely hear something, but I wasn’t sure what it was. "Hold my clothes," I said and started to strip.
"What is it?"
"I can hear something, but I’m not sure what. I can fly us down to check," I explained as I started to take off my pants.
You grabbed my hands and pulled them away. "I’ll show you how to get down," you said as you pulled my shirt down over my head. It was just a glimpse, but I’m pretty sure your cheeks were pink. A certain strategy began to present itself in my mind.
"Okay," I said. "Lead the way."
The way down from the roof was pretty out there with bits that needed you to jump with just the right amount of momentum from one foothold to another. I can fly, so finding you up on the roof was easy, but I really had to wonder how you’d found the way up to the roof in the first place.
