Chereads / A Date with an Immortal / Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: Ominous

Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: Ominous

"Where are we? Where is this?" Jane asked, they were on a high bridge.

Jane gazed at Von's back. He was dangerously close to the edge of the bridge so it made her worry.

To begin with, she was already having this ominous feeling ever since they started coming here, to add, Von had not even faced her eye-to-eye.

It made her uneasy, also, since yesterday, he was not the same as his usual self.

Had she done something wrong?

She truly could not calm her agitated heart.

"Von…" She mentioned his name.

Von…turned around, revealing the sadness encompassing his face, especially his eyes.

Jane's heart became even more agitated as she started to lightly tremble.

She could not understand why he was showing such emotions, it was as if this would be their last time meeting each other.

The confusion made her very disoriented.

"This is where I want to…"

Jane's face went pale when she heard the last half of his sentence.

_____________

Jane's POV…

Haaah…I finally let out my biggest secret to him…

Will anything change after we meet again? Will his feelings change?

I mean I wouldn't blame him…it would only be normal if his feelings changed now that he knew I'm not normal.

I sighed thinking about such things.

Through the times me and Von has dated, though short, I enjoyed it and came to treasure it as my most cherished moments in my long life.

A week with him was worth as much as my whole life, if not more.

Because of that, I didn't want to continue hiding a secret that had been bothering me since the moment I was born and had made my life as painful and agonizing as it was now.

I felt hiding it would be wrong. And also, even though I could've told him after we spent more time and days together, I felt that telling him sooner rather than later would be more considerate.

And I didn't have the trouble of trusting Von as he was a really trustworthy fellow as proven by the short yet amazing times we spent together.

He seemed really modest and looked like he could keep a word.

So my action of confession wasn't just impulse but also reasoning unlike how it seemed.

Though I was also hesitant of telling him as I was afraid that he would react very differently to that fact.

But I wasn't too hung up on that as I had already judged Von as someone who wouldn't just immediately jump into conclusions and would rather listen than interrupt.

Still, such doubts were naturally sprouted from my heart created by my mind.

But in the end, I decided in telling him having gotten my resolve as iron and steel as it could be that not even my doubt and hesitation would be able to bend it.

So in the end, I ended up telling him.

Though the reason for that wasn't only because I trusted him, there was this foreign feeling brewing within my heart.

A feeling of warmth that I absolutely could not deny, there was a vague want in my heart that wanted to be with him for as long as possible.

This feeling was also a big factor to my confession. Because of it, I was compelled to tell him even more.

I didn't know how he would react, I didn't expect for him to easily believe my absurdly-sounding words with such ease, I was scared that he would run away and we would never meet again after dropping such a bomb-shell of a confession.

I was scared in more ways than one.

But I decided to believe in the Von I spent time together, the Von I knew as someone who I could rely on.

The Von who would listen rather than interrupt.

When he called and asked for us to meet in the late evening, I was excited but also at the same time restless.

After wearing some clothes that I believe I look pretty in — I went to the place where we would meet up.

Not once in my whole long life would I have expected that a day would come where I would act like a young teen in love.

It was ironic hahaha…
