Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Rachel didn’t stay on the balcony for too long. Once the maid came out of the bathroom, she went to take a shower, As she soaked herself in the bathtub, she closed her eyes and rested. All of a sudden, her phone buzzed.

She raised her head, glancing at her phone. She noticed that a message had popped up on the screen. It was from Roger. “I heard that you’re on the cruise. Is it true?” Rachel clicked on the dialog box and saw that he had been sending her message almost every day for the past few days. However, she hadn’t checked the app lately, so she hadn’t noticed it.

She then scrolled up and saw every message that Roger had sent her. The first one he sent was after she got hospitalized. But before that one, there were several removed messages. He wrote, “Rachel, are you okay?” Rachel could feel just how concerned he was for her.

The second to last of his messages was sent to her just yesterday. “Rachel, I went back to our school this morning and saw our teacher. She’s about to retire in less than two months. She told me that she’s been thinking about you. Do you want to grab lunch with her together some time?”

It was hard to see her brother disappointed. “Roger, stop staring at your phone and have some fruit,” Clara said. “I’ll eat later.” Roger still locked his eyes on his phone.

Unable to withstand it any longer, Clara glowered and snatched his phone away. “Staring at your phone won’t make her text you back! You’ve been texting Rachel for days. If she really wanted to reply, she would’ve done that a long time ago. Roger, you haven’t been acting like yourself these days.
