The silence was deafening, but I wasn't sure how to break it as I had yet to really come up with any sort of conclusion myself. How was I supposed to make such a big decision on the spot? How was I supposed to know what to do if I had never dealt with this, let alone heard about something like this.
"Well, now that's explained... what would you like to do now?" Erela finally asked. I could see the hope in her eyes that I would want to stay.
She must know how well Ethan and I had hit it off. I had never felt a connection like that with someone before. Not so soon in a relationship, and I wasn't sure I wanted to wait around for that to may or may not happen with someone else again. No, Ethan was who I wanted to work with.
I could be a selfish being, and maybe I was being selfish here in wanting him all to myself. I turned to Erela and smiled slightly, "I want to stay and figure this all out." She seemed to sigh in relief, and I continued, "I'm not sure how to act in this situation, but I figure I'll figure it out as we go along. Much of this relationship we'll have will be a figuring it out as we go type of thing."
Erela nodded in agreement, "Yes, it seems it would be. But I'm glad you decided to stay and give this a chance. I know that would make Ethan happy." She smiled at me, and I knew I had made the right decision. I just hoped this wouldn't be too hard to deal with.
Sighing, I plopped down on the bed. "So now what? What do we do while we wait for Ethan to come back out?" I asked. I was itching to do something. Research on Ethan, run a marathon, anything. I didn't want to sit idle and just wait. Wasn't my style.
Continue?
Yay! So glad this is going again!!
