Chapter 24

"So, what did you want to talk to me about?" I ask once the waiter clears my plate and serves my dessert. I waited till after the main course to ask Alex what he wanted to tell me.

"Nothing, I just needed an excuse to take you out," He says, smiling because he has succeeded in his plan.

"Really," I don't know why but I find it cute that he lied to get me to go out with him. I actually missed him.

"Yes, and I am sorry I did. I missed you, and I wanted to see you by all means," He says, taking my hand on the table. He rubs smoothening patterns on it. I look at him, and I can tell he is speaking the truth.

"I am sorry I have been avoiding you," I say, smiling. It feels nice to know he missed me. 

"It's fine, and can you tell me what I did to cause it?"

"As I said earlier, you didn't do anything wrong."

"I don't think that's possible. Things were great between us, but then suddenly you ghost me. I must have done something to cause it."
