High School: Way to Forever
Chapter 121: Heart Confession

Anna looked in his eyes and she can see her own reflection in him. Why did they even kiss? Any specific reason? No! Her emotions were a mess.

One time, she wants to be with him but at the same time, she did not want to involve him in her complicated world.

"Alex... I'm sorry." Yes, she was feeling sorry because she used him for her own benefit. Anna does not want to give him any wrong hints. She doesn't want him to wait for her but still, she can't see him with anyone else except herself.

Alex knew it was his mistake. He didn't control the beast inside him. But she never had any option too. Before he could have replied Anna, she stood up and walked towards her horse. "You are an idiot Alex." He whispered to himself. He wanted her to be happy but now her face was again down.

"ANNA!" Alex ran behind her and reached till her when she sat on the horse. He wanted to give her an explanation. Seeing her face down, he felt his heart being stabbed by a knife.

"It was not your fault. I was the one who got carried by my emotions. I'm sorry."

"No need. Come, sit. We have to go back as it is going to be night soon." Anna did not want to talk about it anymore so he agreed and jumped at the horse like before. Their ride back to the yard was quiet.

Neither Anna nor Alex spoke to each other and both of them were in their own world. On one side, Anna was feeling awkward while Alex was thinking of a way to make her happy again. But one thing was fact and that was, this silence was not bearable by both of them

They tied the horse in the back stable and then they made their way back into the house. There, Mr. and Mrs. Asher were waiting for both of them. "Oh, you are back. Good! I made tea. come and sit with us." Mrs. Asher said cheerfully. They were close to Anna because they can see their daughter in Anna's eyes.

Anna was too somewhat similar to Shaira in nature and behavior. And also, Anna interacts more with Mr. and Mrs. Asher, they feel Anna is also their daughter.

"Aunt... You guys enjoy it. I will come some other time. And thank you for asking." Anna did not know how would Alex feel with them so she took their leave along with Alex went drove back to the city.

While driving, Alex was quiet at first but he was not able to handle this silence for much longer. "Anna, are you angry with me?" Alex finally asked the question which he was holding in his mind and heart for so long.

"No!" Anna reacted immediately. Anna was confused. She was not at all angry with him but with herself for letting her lust take over her when she kissed him back. These will only pull his attention more on her if she continues to use him for her own purpose.

"Then, why are you not even talking with me? have I made any mistake? If yes, then please tell me." Alex can't help but feel a little upset and stressed.

"Alex... You see, I don't want to give any hints to you." Anna honestly replied to him. Hearing this, Alex started laughing aloud while driving the car. 'So, all her confusion and sadness was because of this? Hah, Alex you just overthinking. How can she be angry at you? No No..' Alex thought to himself.

Seeing him laughing so much, Anna knew he must have thought she was a jerk!

"Anna... What is happening between us, let it happen. I don't want to talk about what we have in our hearts so let us go with the flow. We are not in a relationship and I know that very well. So, don't worry much." Alex clearly stated. And now when he had told her what he wants, he felt his heart is happy and relieved at the same time. He was coming into ease again.

Though he badly wanted to mark her as his he needs time to do so. Anna might not be ready for this all and might freak out.

Anna was too much touched by his confession. He understood her again, that she was not ready for a commitment to things right now and that was what she wanted to tell him and he caught her!

"Oh, you never told me that Shaira's parents were so rich. They have such a big house with a backyard and horses too!" Alex shifted the topic and the atmosphere again became cheerful.

"Umm... That house actually belongs to me and my brother. He brought his house when he was, I think seventeen. We have a joint registry of this house so, this is the house of my brother not of Mr. and Mrs. Asher. They are living there because their daughter is no more in this world.." Anna explained to Alex.

Alex was speechless when he heard that her brother, Seb bought this house when he was only seventeen!? He had heard that Seb Walker was good in trading but that much good?

"So the paintings....?" Alex didn't complete his full sentence. He does not know how to ask. But maybe Anna understood his incomplete sentence when she answered,

"Yeah. Those paintings belong to my brother." Yes! The paintings which could be sold in millions belong to her late brother. He was an all-rounder, unlike Anna.

"You know, if your brother was still alive, I might bow and touch his feet. He must be an awesome person!" Alex was truly memorized by all the talks Anna told him about Seb.

"Maybe..." Anna just smiled. She knew the reality that he was not that good guy...
