Chapter 45 Revenge Mission

• NIA’S POV
• A blush crept up my cheeks as I stared intently at the box of chocolate Ezra had gotten me. If he continues, I might fall head over heels in love with him. He is sweet and considerate, always showing up with goodies in hand whenever he comes to see me. Ezra and his sister make me feel alive like my world is complete. But it all fades away when none of them is nearby to assure me everything will be okay. I think I like Ezra, and I might want something beyond mere friendship with him; at the same time, I don't feel deserving of him.
• He deserves someone he can lean on. Someone to hold him up when he is down, and that implies a confident person for someone like Ezra, who has had to shoulder plenty of things growing up. He also needs to be pampered. I would love to be all of that for him, but I am too doubtful of myself. Also, what's the assurance he desires me differently? He is probably just being nice because Perry asked him to. As sweet as that might sound, it makes me feel deflated. I want to be wanted for me, not just because I appear pitiful.
