All Chapters of Unconditional Love: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"10 minutes." I say and bring my wet towel into the room to put it over the heater, then I take my laptop and my books for today's class. With a look outside, I take my thin winter jacket with me and then I'm back in the hallway.I'm through before Jenna?I knock on the next door.“Jenna?” I call."I'll be finished soon, come in." She replies and I walk into her room.“Wow, you have rearranged.” I marvel at her furnishings, which consist of retro furniture, and she proudly sticks her head up.But the furniture doesn't cover Jenna's chaos, her things are scattered everywhere and I really wonder how she manages to find a part in here."Really pretty." I take a closer look around and hand her her scarf, which she lent me in January and which I found in the closet. "Thanks for borrowing.""You're welcome." She laughs. "And ready for a new day?" She takes her shoulder bag and I nod with a sigh."8 hour

"I'm happy too." I reply in a friendly manner and he indicates that we should come back with him.Surfboards of different sizes and colors are leaning against all the walls and I look around a little. I stroke the smooth varnish and close my eyes for a moment, memories fall on me and I try to shake them off ..."I have an O'Neill masterboard for you and all the equipment." Josh brings me back to the here and now and I take the board from his hand. It's a shortboard, I had one of those in LA too.Did he know?"Why not a longboard?" I raise an eyebrow and he laughs."Because Jenna told me that you are not a newbie and honestly Ana ... A longboard?" He looks at me with a grin."You're right, it's perfect." I stroke the waxed underside."I need your dress size and then you can try on a suit or two." He leads us back to the front and I put the board next to the cash register.After an hour I found a long and a short suit that fit pe

We'll be down in 30 minutes." Jenna says and grins at me. "It must have been years since I slept outdoors." She winks at me and I help her on her feet. We collect the food boxes and the wine bottles and go back down the small stairs. Oh man, next time we'll take more blankets ..."Get dressed, Aiden and Nate will be here in half an hour." She instructs me and I go to my room.I put on a tight long-sleeved top, long johns and thick socks. If the water is only half as cold as I feared, then I'll really get the frostbite that Nate threatened me with.Finally, I tie my hair up, slip into a pair of jeans and a sweater, and grab my wetsuit.When I see my reflection, a smile steals on my face.I have no makeup and I realize that this is really me ..."Ready?" Jenna walks in and I hold my thumb up."Then go!" She cheers and pulls me with her, I barely manage to lock my room and stumble into the elevator behind her.Once at the bottom,

Jenna is in love with him and I show up here and act like an elephant in a china shop ...Well done Ana Coleman ...After an hour the boys let off steam and Jenna and I are moving. The wetsuit is windproof and hopefully waterproof too, but my hands are shaking as I attach the safety band to my ankle."Ready?" Jenna beams at me.Fortunately, she is not resentful ..."Always." I try to smile and we plunge into the water.“Take care of the reef!” Aiden calls after us and Jenna points to a dark strip further back in the water.I nod as a sign that I have understood and continue paddling, the water is cold, really cold ... but bearable.I make a few tentative attempts to get on the board and my heart threatens to jump out of my chest.In my mind I hear John talking to me, just like the summer I learned to surf.'Wait for your wave Ana and then you get up and fly.' He says again and again and I sit on the bo

I went out with Nate yesterday. Tell me what else did you write to him? He was suddenly so quiet. “She looks at me.“Nothing more, I declined his offer of tutoring. I can handle it. You were out with him? ”I say no."You didn't cancel because of me, did you?" She opens her eyes in shock."No Jenna." I explain to her and brush my teeth."Okay, I'm relieved." He breathes out deeply and I look at her briefly.Of course I did it for her too ...I have real friends for the first time in my life and I just don't want to risk that.The lectures are actually going quite well and I notice that it is slowly becoming easier for me. I'm in the middle again ..."And Nate and I were eating, it was nice." She gives me an amorous look and my heart contracts."That's good." I try to smile and she beams at me.The evening meal at Grace and Dex's is excellent as always, but Grace looks at me all the time."W

Then you'll be the first to call." I promise him and go to my car.I drive straight to the dormitory and shut myself up in my room, luckily it's Friday afternoon and nobody asks questions ...Why does my past have to catch up with me now?I fall asleep with tears, finally I had the feeling that I know where I belong, but that can be over quickly. With just the blink of an eye.Nothing in my life seems to last ...In the next two weeks Jenna notices that something is wrong with me, but to my amazement she doesn't pester me with questions, she is understanding and I learn that she can also keep quiet. To my surprise there was even a pleasant silence and I am infinitely grateful to her ..."So, today you come with me!" Jenna pulls open my door on Saturday morning and I almost fall out of bed in shock."Are you crazy?" I mumble and curl up."It's ideal surfing weather outside and you can't just lie around here." She pulls the curta

Hey." Aiden sits down next to me and hugs me tightly."Please." I try desperately to defend myself."It's okay, I'm alone, the others are on their way to Poppys." He calms me down and I sob against his chest.He just makes me cry and doesn't ask any questions for now.I have a knot in my stomach and it will take me a while before it starts to resolve and I look up at Aiden in shame."It's okay Ana." He assures me and blows a kiss on my hair."He died in a surfing accident." I say quietly and Aiden looks at me carefully."Jonathan ..." I put my hand on my tattoo and he nods slightly. "He was my big brother, he taught me to surf." I wipe my tears aside.“What happened?” He asks carefully."He had a competition in Hawaii and I was there for the first time in a long time ..." I smile through tears. "He was so happy. He was one of the first to get in the water, the waves were high that day, but the competition was

If only life were easy for once.I look up to see Jenna fooling around with Josh and Ronan, wondering if Aiden is really right.Is she really in love with Nate or not?But I can't risk my friendship with her at the risk that Aiden might be wrong.And that's not the only problem.My November trial, Nate is still my teacher ...I sigh softly and Aiden looks at me worried."Should I drive you home?" He offers me and I nod slightly."Will you take me with you?" Asks Nate immediately and I look to Aiden for help."Sure, we're going to drive my car." He looks at me for a long time and I close my eyes for a moment.Why Aiden?“Jenna? Will you take Ana's car and park it in front of the dormitory? We'll meet mum and dad for lunch tomorrow. ”Aiden stands up and looks at Jenna."Why, surely. If something is Ana, call me. ”She hugs me when I got up."I will." I promise her.Aiden

We drift, we merge and his hands hold mine next to my head.I close my eyes when I realize my salvation is seconds away. I moan and rear up under him when I finally find her and press myself against him, trembling. He also comes pulsating inside me and lets himself fall next to me, breathing hard, to pull me into his arms.I try to regain control of myself and suddenly it falls on me.What have I done?I want to get rid of him, but he holds me tight."Ana ... Please." He whispers and I start to cry."Please say something." He asks me and I sob choked on his chest."Nate ... I can't." I finally breath and he pulls me up to kiss my mouth."What, Ana? What can you not do? ”He asks me desperately."I can't tell you I love you, even if it's true ... There is too much at stake." I try to break free from his embrace again."Please Ana stay." He pulls me back to his chest.“I can't allow myself to make

It's a really cool shirt with a surfboard print on the stomach and the number 54 on the back." He looks at me and I nod until I remember he doesn't see me."Yes. How do you do that? ”I ask, amazed.“When I buy new things, I of course take one of the boys with me and use the color code and the composition to remember which one it is. I have a really good memory, I know that the t-shirt you are wearing is dark blue, meanwhile a bit faded and on the chest is the mark of the New York Yankees in white, also a bit peeled off. "He kisses me."You are breathtaking." I return his kiss deeply.The doorbell lets us go apart and I answer the door.Instead of the supplier, however, I suddenly find myself facing Aiden and unconsciously hold my breath. I'm standing here in Nate's t-shirt and by the way, not much more than that."Can I come in?" He ignores my shocked expression, presses a kiss on the cheek and goes through. The delivery man appe
