UNTIL I MET YOU : CHAPTER 21 – 30
That morning wasn’t easy for me. I’m always thinking about that Gray incident. Something inside me didn’t really regret the act , but i obviously do. It was so wrong but yet it feels so right. He’s weird and strange to me.
But it seems every freak around new york knows him. Or maybe around United States actually , doesn’t really matter.
“Are you okay ?” Vickie asks after taking a customer’s order.
“Yeah. Just thinking.”
“About what ?” I sigh and look at Vickie who’s so eager. Of course I can’t tell her I had a proper kiss with Gray Carter. It’s gonna be stupid. And plus, I’m having issues trusting people.
“It’s nothing.” I shake my head sideways.
“Can you both stop gossiping.” Sanya, the manager snap at us.
I really don’t like her.
She’s an ass and always act like she owns Sandy’s. Vickie roll her eyes and arrange a glass of juice and snacks on a platter to take to a table.
“Table four please..” a cheesy lady shouted.
I scoff and carried her meal to her.
“Anything else ?” I ask politely after arranging her orders.
“Please excuse yourself.”
“Sure.” I nod politely and walk out.
“Are you okay ?”
I look down at myself and avert my gaze back to Vickie. She shrug an arm and raise her blonde eyebrows.
“I look okay, right ?”
“You do, but your mood doesn’t. Are you okay ?”
“Yeah, I’m fine.” I sigh and look at our customers eating.
“You look like someone whose boyfriend broke up with her.” I laugh at her hilarious joke.
” I don’t even have a boyfriend.” I snort.
” Why ? Haven’t seen the guy you liked ?” And that’s a tough question. I roll my eyes and tap my fingers absently on the counter.
After what ever thing Freddie did , I really don’t see men nice or even attractive. It’s really stupid , Gray was cute to me , worse still beautiful.
” I really don’t want to date. Like I’m not ready. It takes a lot of heart to date someone.” I said feeling my own stupid motivational speech.
” It’s true though. I’ve gone through several heartbreaks since highschool and now. I’m still dating someone though , hoping.” She shrug and tuck her blonde hair with a smile.
Now I wish I didn’t lie , I should have told her my reasons.
The door swings open as Alexa and Leslie walks in chattering. Leslie looks happy , like genuinely happy.
I really can’t remember when last I was genuinely happy. But it’s sometimes awkward , Gray makes me forgets my pain each time I’m with him.
“Arie..” Alexa squeal loudly buying the attention of gossips in disguise of customers.
” You’re not looking bad..” Leslie snorts .
” Hey Alex. Hi Les.”
” You look awesome.” Alexa smiles.
“You look really beautiful.” I widen my eyes at her new hairdo. Bleached blonde hair and a tanned skin. Her blue contact lens really suits her. Alexa is a weirdo.
” You’re pretty.” I mutter to both of them. Leslie looks the same , just extra sexy clothes that i always wonder if my parents ever sees her dressed like this . What are they doing here in the first place ?
” I’ll be back.” I told the girls and walk out with Vickie to clean up the tables since most customers are done eating.
We walk back to the counter to see Leslie laughing to something Alexa must have told her. She looks crazy chewing a gum that way.
” Ariel , why are you working ?” Alexa asks.
I sigh.
” Your parents aren’t broke. They are cool. Why are you working ?”
” Alex , I’m fine. I’m tired of staying at home doing nothing. So looking for a job was definitely gonna save me from my parents abusive words and my sister’s nosy act.” I reply.
” So you’re saying I’m nosy ?” Leslie bat her lashes still chewing that gum.
I ignore her and smile at Alex.
” That’s really a nice step though. Who wouldn’t run away from parents like yours. And about Leslie , she’s an Asshole. Ignore her.” I chuckle and shrug.
” How’s that my fault ? I saw her texting a guy named Gray. The same guy whom she spent the night in his house.” Leslie says. She talks a lot and i hate her a lot for that.
Alexa smirks and raises her brows leaning carefully on the counter.
” What !”
” You really haven’t told us about this Gray. His he as hot as Gray Carter ?” Alexa pressures .
” Of course he can’t be as hot as Gray Carter. What will a guy as hot as Gray Carter want from Ariel ? No offense boo.” Leslie scowl.
I roll my eyes and look at Alexa who sneers at Leslie.
