In The Arms of An Angel
Chapter 11
Gaby turned around to face Mark after she clicked off her mobile. "I'm
sorry," she began, bending down to pick her bag and blanket. "I have to go.
My cousin is going insane and wants me home."
A sad look flashed in his face. "So soon?" he asked, stepping forward to
come into contact with her.
She nodded. "'fraid so," she sighed sadly. Will I see you again? She asked
silently.
Not knowing where he got the courage to touch her face, Mark brushed her
cheeks with his thumbs, caressing them and liking the feel of her soft
cheeks on his palms. I wanna see you again, he thought. I wanna be with you
soon. "Gaby, I…" he stammered, his throat lodged with fear.
She looked away, wishing Mark's eyes wouldn't look at her so sweetly. "I
have to go," she quickly said, moving away from him. "Bye."
With that, Mark was left alone in the woods. Suddenly he felt like running
after her and make her comeback. But he didn't. He's got his pride and he
doesn't want to lose it just because of a girl who's making his heart pound
like a jackhammer.
