Stars

I could feel it as he dragged me back to our room; we were going to argue again. But argue about what? Argue about the fact that I was letting some stranger rub aloe vera on my back and that it ticked him off. I would retaliate with the fact that the two ladies were drooling over him and wanted his attention more than anything in the world. I sighed mentally. This is what we always argue about. It’s the same thing again and again. I’m sick of it.

He threw me onto the bed and I face planted onto the mattress. I was suddenly scared. He crawled on top of me, using his strong arms to support him. I felt so vulnerable because he could clearly see me. “This is the last day on the cruise. We’re meant to be spending this time together.” Leo whispered sadly. My heart broke. Seeing Leo this sad, I’d rather be arguing with him.
“You looked like you were having fun with those two ladies on the deck. I decided to let you have your fun.” I said looking away from him.
He shook his head. “They were just fans who wanted autographs. A lot of people recognized me on that cruise and I had trouble slipping away. I was going to be right behind you when you left…but…”
I hauled myself up and wrapped my arms around his neck, hugging him.
“I don’t like this jealousy feeling.” I said. “I don’t want to be selfish, but I can’t.”
Leo didn’t respond.
“And I’m sorry I’m like this.” I finished.
He pulled me up in a sitting position and sighed deeply. He walked over to his bags and grabbed something out.
“I wanted to spend time with you before I went away on the tour.” He said. He handed me sheets of paper and my eyes widened when I realized what they were. Tickets to VIXX’s concert.
“We start our tour with a concert in Seoul then move. There are 5 tickets there, for you and your friends.”
5 tickets? Me, Adriana, Julie, Tanya and… I couldn’t say the last name. I didn’t even want to think the last name.
“After the concert, I wont be able to see you for a long time. So I wanted to use this trip to spend time with you…” he said sadly.
“There’s still the rest of the afternoon we can spend together.” I said.

He had me at my house by 9:00pm. “The concert is on Wednesday. Hope you can make it.” He said with a smile that shone in the moonlight.
“Of course I will.” I said with a light scoff.
“The trip was fun. Thanks for coming with me.” He kissed me on the forehead.
Watching him drive away made my chest ache. After Wednesday, Leo won’t be here anymore.
