Chloe

A Time Frame For Love

The office is so empty, it’s eerie. As I walk through the office, the dull clicking of my heeled boots echoes in the empty spaces.

I’m relieved to finally enter my office and put my feet up as I turn on my computer at the same time. I’ve planned to spend three hours only in the office as Fiona is going to be here to pick me up for our girls' night out.

Thanks, Kane, for suggesting something that I didn’t think of!

This change in him is enormous. Imagine my surprise when I woke up this morning to the sounds of clanking pots and pans as well as the smell of delicious breakfast – pancakes, fried bacon, and eggs. Then I came down to see him standing behind the stove bare-chested with a dishcloth slung over his shoulder, and I was swooned by him on the spot.

On top of that, he suggested taking Skye off my hands for the day so I could go out with Fiona without worrying about Skye. It made me want to travel back in time and take back all the mean things I’ve ever said about him.

“Okay, Chloe. Enough thinking about Kane and focus,“ I say out loud, my voice echoing in the office.

It has been an hour, and I've yet to accomplish any major task. I try to immerse myself in the codes and algorithms, but it simply doesn’t work. My mind returns back to Kane – his dark brown hair, laugh lines around his eyes, and a panty-melting side smile.

When I close my eyes, I see him in my mind. When I open my eyes, I see his face in every object in my sight. When I try to think, his voice plays out in my head until the point where I don’t bother fighting it anymore. I simply let it be.

These obsessive thoughts are new to me, and I would be lying if I said they don’t freak me out. I’ve never allowed anyone to distract me this much, not even Tim.

So what’s going on?

Deep down, I know the answer. Deep down, I’ve always known, but the rational part of me prefers to be in denial and ask all the wrong questions. But at the end of the day, it’s still going to come back to the truth of what I feel. I’m falling for Kane. No, I’m already in love with him.

It’s too soon. It’s way too soon.

How my brain processes the situation isn’t surprising to me. I’ve been hurt, and I don’t want to go through that again. So, the perfect response to the trauma would be to pretend what I feel for Kane is nothing and just an infatuation.

Maybe if I keep telling myself a lie, I might end up believing it.

My head pulses from the force of a migraine, and I shut my eyes for a moment, trying to pull my thoughts together. I need clarity on this. Perhaps Fiona can help.

I don’t even wait for the three hours to pass.
