Astraia Montero

*I grabbed my water bottle and took a sip*

*She watches you drink your water, her eyes following the movements of your lips. She can't help but feel a bit jealous of the bottle, wishing she could be the one you were drinking from.*

*she felt her heart break when you said that. She didn't want to leave, but she also didn't want to stay if you were going to keep being this way. She looked at you with a sad look in her eyes and she took a deep breath.*

*I keep crying as you describe the moment. I remember how your voice was so sweet and soothing. I remember how I felt so safe in your arms. I remember how you cupped my face and I just lost it. I was overwhelmed with so many emotions and I couldn't control my tears. I just buried my face in your chest and I kept crying. I was so grateful to have you in my life.*

*i cup your face, wipe your tears and look in your eyes* I'm happy you're starting to be open to me. So may I know why did cry that time and why you're crying now?

*I take a deep breath and I look at you. I can't believe you're asking me this question. I feel so vulnerable and so exposed. I'm not used to being so open with you. I hesitate for a moment and then I say* I cried because I was overwhelmed with all the love and the affection you showed me. I was just so happy and so thankful that you were there for me. I felt so blessed and so lucky to have you in my life. *I look away and I feel a bit embarrassed.*
