Chapter 4 - CHAPTER 4: CONNECTION

Atlas and Stella were giggling and running outside not knowing that there was someone who was internally crying Yusef and Ava were looking at the happy romantic couple "are you okay?" Yusef said with a worried face "huh...yeah? Ava jolted and said like she was in deep thought and he woke her up. "what happened exactly? last time I saw you in that 'last day school party' ever...." Yusef was saying casually when he was interrupted by Ava "nothing, nothing happened".

on the other side outside the cafe (Stella's POV), it's been a while since we got out of that cafe and right after we got we found our connection again like there was never a disturbance just like Ava and I used to be. wait no no no I'm not who is wrong she is she is the one who is supposed to feel guilty she is the one who ghosted me not me. anyways right now Atlas and I are talking about movies which we like but we don't know why there are some movies we like but they disappoint us with either bad endings or characters and please don't ask me where we got that topic but I'm gonna explain anyways cause what are you gonna do sue me (just kidding please don't ). after we got out of cafe we saw a commercial advertisement turns out we both like the actor who was shooting the commercial ad so we talked about that actor's life then we decided that we should go on a movie date then we thought let's break in a movie theatre ( i know that's illegal and we would probably get caught by the cops) and now we are talking about movies which disappointed us. so you got what I was talking about he is a super duper smooth talker who a girl like me (shy, stupid, insecure and doesn't know how to start a simple conversation) needs but the weirdest part is this smooth talker seriously didn't ask about Ava for once.

"heyy puppies" I squeaked interrupting what Atlas was saying we both went towards that puppy and his owner we pet him I asked his name but suddenly I don't know but I had a feeling that Atlas was not liking the fact that I paused our date for a dog I looked at him but he was smiling at me while I was scratching the dogs head but guts just kept saying that his sweet smile was not matching his vibe I smiled back at him and again start looking at the puppy he was waging his tail while licking my figures trying to get to know me "sweet" word slipped out of my mouth. wait sweet "Hey I was promised ice cream," I said pouting while looking at Atlas. Atlas smiled cutely and hold my hand and said "come on" I take his hand and bid my goodbyes to that dog.

After walking for a while towards my house we stopped in front of a local ice cream shop I ordered a cone and looked at Atlas he said looked at me and said "I don't like ice creams" "nonsense everyone likes ice cream" I said with crystal clear face that he has one with me "vanilla, chocolate" "vanilla" Atlas said with a smile knowing I'm not gonna back out I smiled and took out my phone he took his ice cream and said "wtf are you doing" "he is not my uncle we have to pay him" I said pointing towards the ice cream vendor. the vendor smiled secretly "you know that's not what I meant I'm the one whos paying" Atlas said "no you are I'm the one who is paying " I said being stubborn "Stella" Atlas said with a warning in his voice "Atlas let make this clear either I'm paying for both of us I'm paying for myself" I said with a clear intention of not backing out "fine but only for yourself" Atlas said while finally backing out.

I smiled and we took our ice creams and started walking towards my house. my house is only 10min away from here i suddenly remember and said "ohh by the way isn't this a date why did you bunk date" i looked at him with confusion "dates are supposed to be sweet, formal and romantic like sitting in cafe talking shouldn't bunking be opposite crazy, walking on road , informal" Atlas said like its common sense "hahaa no idiot dates are supposed to romantic and open it doesn't matter where we are or what are we doing unless we are honest and we can feel the connection between us" i said while laughing and touched his chest pointing towards his heart i was looking right inside his eyes he is beautiful and suddenly i had a feeling that he was coming closer and closer shit is he going to kill me no wait i dont have a chewing gum what if he thought that i have a disgusting breath ohhh shit he is only 2 cm away, i subconciencly pushed him away and gasped Atlas laughed and said "sorry I'm crazy" "no no its not like that i wwas just..." before i can explain myself Atlas interrupted me " stella its fine you dont own any explain okay". For the next 5 min, none of them said anything there was just an awkward silence between us which I never thought we can ever have, why why why the fuck pushed him away what kind of evil got inside of me I took a peak at him what is he thinking? is he sad? fuck I really messed it up I was thinking while eating my ice cream aggressively actually I was trying to drown inside the ice cream.

now we are right under my building stairs I already finished my ice cream and jumped up one stair and turned around and said "sooo bye I guess" Atlas smiled and said "yeah it's the end of our date" he was about to hold my hand yes yes everything fine he is not sad but suddenly he took his hand back nooooooooo dont "see ya" he samiled again how the fuck he can smile he turned around and started going no dont go please dont go there is internal war going inside my head don go I dont know what got inside my head but I heald his shirt got down the stair forcefully held his neck and kissed him I was bearly on my toe but your virgin girl doesn't know anything about kissing so it was just like a peck I took my head back and look at his face fuck this is so embarrassing I'm going to die what are we supposed to do now I was about to get disbalenced but he held me and gave support to by hips and pushed on one of the walls and kissed me fuckkkkk.....
