Chapter 14: The Weight of her Absence. (๑♡⌓♡๑)
Leo woke up to the sound of a bag rustling, a sharp, irritating noise that pierced his ears in the morning quiet... He shot upright with caution, only to see Sarah, already dressed, packing her clothes into her bag...
"Babe," he called out to her, wiping his saliva from his mouth...
Sarah’s eyes widened as soon as she saw him awake... "Babe, good morning," she said...
"Hmm," he responded, biting his lower lip. "I see you’re all dressed up and ready."
She nodded, zipping up her bag. Her phone started vibrating on the bed... she bends over and picks it up "Hello, hello... Manager-kun, how have you been doing?"
"Ehh... I know... I’m coming out of my boyfriend’s apartment, I’ll soon be there... I understand..." Sarah nodded while answering the phone call. "Okay, bye-bye." She hung up...
Leo got out of his bed and then headed to the bathroom, minutes later... he then came right back out... His eyes widened as he saw Sarah waiting in front of the door for him. His stomach sank, his heart skipped a beat as he walked over to her...
"Ready?" he asked, feeling a bead of sweat. He swallowed.
Sarah rushed over and hugged him tightly, sniffing his clothes. She looked up while hugging him, her eyes becoming watery. "A part of me doesn’t want to go... a part of me doesn’t want to leave you."
Leo slowly pulled her back. "Come on, don’t do that... I’m not a child, okay?" He kissed her on the lips. "I’ll be fine... and besides, it’s just a week... I can hold out for that much, okay?"
