Bab 145: Realization

Antonio sat there in contemplation for a moment, his heart falling to the ground immediately. The realization had scared him.

Realization? He should have seen the pattern from early on. It wasn't realization, it was acceptance. An acceptance he wasn't ready to accept. 

Antonio blushed, his cheeks getting increasingly hot. He looked down at the girl on the ground and let out a deep sigh. "What am I going to do now?"

"What are you going to do now? You are going somewhere?" Justin asked, leaning closer to Antonio. 

Antonio couldn't look up at Justin again. He felt like he had committed a crime. He didn't know it was like that… he thought it was simply curiosity. 

Every time his eyes would wander to her, he thought it was curiosity, Every time his heart would thump when he looked at her he thought it was 'liking' her presence around him, every time he thought of her… envisioned her… Antonio's blush spread further and the thoughts started to manifest.
