We were walking back to the store. We just came from Dunkin' Donuts, where he grabbed a cup of coffee for me and a water for himself. He takes out his cellphone from his pocket.

Are you late? I asked.

He shook his head.

Okay. I said, slowing my paces down.

Well, don't slow down. We don't have all the time in the world, you know. he said with mock attitude.

I don't know about you, but I have all the time in the world. I said smugly.

Well, then, fuck you.

Fuck me now. I said.

He turned a bright red and said Sssh. I like my privacy.

Well, excuse me, but if you don't want me fucking with you in public, you better not fuck with me. Coz I swear to God, if you fuck with me, I sure am fucking with you. I said and meant it.

He smiled at me and said That came out in the most wrong and yet the most erotic way possible.

It was my turn to turn bright red. I stopped dead of my tracks.

In my head, I was having a battle on whether I should tell him to stay. No, I was having a battle on whether I should tell him that I wanted him to stay, that I needed him, that...

Where is your home? he asked.

What?

Where is your home? Isn't it that way? he said while pointing towards The Heights.

Yes, it is. That's where my home is. I said.

Then walk in that direction.

Why? I asked, a little confused.

Because your home is that way.

Don't you want company? I asked him. After all, it was his idea that I stick around for his break.

Walk that way. Your home is that way. he said again.

Fine. I know when I'm not wanted I said and stood at the pedestrian lane.

He kept walking in the direction of the store, and I kept standing by the pedestrian lane. He opened the door to the building, held it open for me, waited for me to go in, but I didn't. He went inside, still looking at me, but I didn't look back. He stood by the glass, watching me, as I was watching him...

I was waiting for the stop light to read Walk but it was taking forever. I could see him looking at me, waiting for me to look back, but I didn't...

...Because I wanted him to stop me. I wanted him to call out to me, to tell me to stay, to tell me to never leave...

The light said Walk and walked I did, trying not to walk too fast just in case he would stop me.

He didn't. He just kept watching. And I just kept walking...
