Love Crisis

Molly pressed her lips together and took her hand back, wresting it from Brian's grip. Brian frowned, but then she took his hand and intertwined their fingers, like couples did. She looked at his face, and met Brian's eyes. A smile spread across her face, and her eyes were full of joy.

Brian looked down at their hands, and he stood there, quietly, looking at them. His eyebrows raised and he said,"You have a lot on your mind. Shouldn't I be the one comforting you?"

Molly didn't say anything, but instead walked around him till they were face to face. She gently took hold of his other bandage-wrapped hand and looked straight into his eyes. When she saw that the serenity had returned to his gaze, she stood on tiptoes and pressed her lips to his.

Brian didn't move, except to kiss her back. As time ticked away slowly, his eyes glittered mysteriously like two black diamonds.

Molly withdrew from the kiss, suddenly feeling shy. She met his gleaming eyes, and a soft smile appeared on her face. Then she took out her phone, tapped out a message and showed it to him.

"Everyone is able to feel peace of mind. You can't feel it because you don't want to."

The look in Brian's eyes became more mysterious, and it was like an unfathomable black hole, deep and monstrous, from which no light was able to escape. He stared at the screen of her phone, his gaze unwavering, until it finally went black. Then he turned to Molly and asked,"What about you? Do you feel it?"

Molly gave a bitter smile and shook her head. Then she tapped out another message on her phone. This one took a little bit, and Brian fidgeted impatiently.

"No, but I'm a little calmer now. I've been pretending not to understand things, but I realize I was trying not to. When forced into it, I won't do it. But when that leads to issues, I can't ignore them. I really want to run away, but I have to f

“Do you still want to run away after what happened last night?”

Their relationship changes overnight. She tries to keep her distance from him, while he comes closer and closer.

Spoiling her, he gives her everything she desires. His only wish is to keep her around. The whole world is envious of what she has.

“Never rush in a relationship,” she says calmly.

. And he always tried his best, because he wanted Richie to be proud of him, even though sometimes this would be exhausting.

He was excited now, and Molly could feel it. His gaze was sharp and eager, but his tone was cold. "Bullshit! You don't know me! You don't know anything!"

Molly stood defiant. She curled her lips and typed,"You are angry because I am right, aren't you?"

Brian read this, and a real fury burnt in his eyes. He was about to retort something when he noticed the sly look glinting in Molly's eyes, and he had to stop and figure this out. The moment was shattered by the sound of his new message tone. He sneered as he pushed the emotions surging through him away, took out his phone and looked at the screen.

It was a text, which said,"Brian, I miss you!" Becky had sent it, of course.

Brian's heart trembled when he saw her name. He focused his eyes tightly on the screen and fell silent. He started shaking soon after. He just stood there, heart racing, unsure of what he wanted to do next. Then, another notification tone, and another message came in.

"Brian, please forgive me. I want you back. I'm coming back,"

it read. Emotions surged within his heart, and he couldn't figure out whether that was good or bad.
