Chereads / I Can Never Stop Loving You / Chapter 5 - My Erica

Chapter 5 - My Erica

Erica has therefore always been single and couldn't forget her first love, she was not on any social media platforms and intentionally avoided searching for Steve anywhere as she was sure she would only be disappointed to see him with some other woman and Erica knew very well that she would never have a chance to be with him but her heart only kept beating for him and today when she saw Steve, her mind went blank and she felt an urge to run away somewhere but the only best part for her was that he didn't recognize her so she felt relieved about that part and she sighed in relief and decided to find ways to avoid him.

Steve on the other hand settled in one of the free cabins which Jack assigned to him as he requested for some privacy.

Many thoughts were going on in his mind, Erica Miller, he wondered if she was Erica Miller who he went to high school with, then he again doubted it as the one he met earlier was very cold and scary and the Erica Miller of his high school was cute and cheerful.

He wondered if that cute high schooler who wore thick glasses and always spent her free time in her school library reading books would actually transform into a strong confident woman who looked cold and gave scary vibes.

Therefore, the first thing he wanted to do was confirm Erica's identity so he requested for her profile which was mailed to him within a few minutes.

When he went through her profile, the first thing he did was check her high-school name and it matched with what he expected then he saw the name of her college and it was Stanford just as he thought as after high school this studious smart girl got into Stanford Law.

When she left home for her college, it was the last time he met her and after that life happened and they lost touch.

He was genuinely happy to know the woman he met earlier was his high school classmate Erica.

Without wasting another single minute, he asked Jack to show him her cabin and he directly opened the office door and entered in.

Jack understood he should not go in there so he didn't follow Steve.

Erica who was deeply lost in her thoughts was startled by the sudden intrusion. People dare not enter her cabin with permission but someone just entered in without even knocking.

She glared at the sudden intruder but the next moment when that handsome charming face came in front of her eyes, she again felt breathless.

She could never forget this face as she occasionally dreams about it.

"Erica Miller, I can't believe it is you" Steve happily exclaimed after watching Erica from head to toe.

Erica took a bottle of water from her table and drank some to stabilize her fast beating heart.

Whenever he called her name in the past, her heart always fluttered and she couldn't believe that even after so many years, he had the exact same effect on her.

"Steve" She slightly nodded her head.

"My goodness, I still can't believe it is you." He exclaimed in surprise.

Erica smiled awkwardly.

"Earlier why did you pretend as if you don't me?" Steve asked her.

"Because you did the same" She coldly responded.

"I did because I was genuinely not sure if you were actually my Erica. See, I came running as soon as I confirmed"
