UNTIL I MET YOU : CHAPTER 71 – 80
After our food , I attend my last class and walk back home. I toss my bag on the bed and go through my drawers to find Gray’s spare key. I need to talk to him.
I really want to continue whatever thing we had even if it wasn’t love or anything close to relationship. He had never told me he loved me or even called me his girlfriend. Gray is weird , I’m weird.
I quickly shower and get dressed. I stuff my phone in my back jeans pocket as i head out of the house. Leslie isn’t back. She didn’t even sleep at home last night and two nights ago. She’s been acting oddly ever since we resumed this semester. Like she’s secretly having sex with someone.
I get out of the cab and breathe in. I stand across the road and look up at Gray’s penthouse. What if he’s not here ? What if he’s already gotten tired of me ?
What if he doesn’t feel the same way for me ? What if he’s seeing someone else ?
What if ? Enough of the what ifs..
I’m about crossing the road when he walks out of the lobby hand in hand with her.
She giggles and look at him with eyes filled with emotions. How can I be so stupid. Always stupid. My heart drops to the ground as I watch them. Did he have to cheat because I pushed him away ? With her ?
How could she ? He opens the passenger side door for her and she hop in. He shuts the door and get in the driver’s seat not even sparing me a look.
UNTIL I MET YOU : CHAPTER 71 – 80
.
My eyes are heavy and I didn’t notice I’m about to cry and it’s about to rain. Why are men so difficult ? Yeah, I know I wanted him to leave it’s not like I want him to abandon me. How could he stop calling me because of a short blonde haired girl.
“Ariel..” Someone calls out my name honking his car horn.
I turn to look at this visitor and it’s Freddie. Yeah he’s like my shadow , always everywhere.
“I’m fine Freddie. Thanks.” I wipe my eyes and begin walking.
“Ariel please stop and get in. It’s about to rain.” He says and continue driving in my pace to keep up with me.
I ignore him and shove my hands in my back pocket. Why am I sobbing in the first place ? We never dated or even fell in love with each other but it hurts to see him walk out of his penthouse with a girl. She was far better than me but who cares ?
My hair might be longer , but her short blonde hair is awesome compared to mine. Her blue dress and high thigh boots fits her perfectly and she look just like Jhene. Always fancy.
“Ariel , get in the car.” Freddie sighs , fully frustrated as he get out of the car.
Why did he have to mess up too ? If not for his stupid stunt maybe we would have been together ? His icy blue eyes watch me carefully like he could see through my pains. He walks forward and stop in front of me.
It’s about to drizzle and I don’t even mind getting wet right now.
“Look I might be an ass or whatever thing you choose to call me but you don’t have to cry over someone. Just get in the car and I’ll take you home.”
“Home ? Freddie I don’t want you stalking me.”
“Fine. Then come have dinner with me in a restaurant and I promise to call an Uber to take you home.” I sigh and study his face. He’s already grown a stubble and it’s annoying it looks good on him.
“Sure.”
He smiles and open the passenger side door for me to hop in.
I get in and didn’t bother to fasten my seatbelt. Through out the ride i barely heard a word Freddie was saying. I’m sure he’s telling me how sorry he is and he wish we continue our friendship.
It’s fruitless. I blink my eyes and stare at Freddie who already held my door for me. How come I didn’t notice we’re already at a restaurant. I get out and refused to take his hand. I’m still angry at him even if I’ve forgiven him.
“So what do you want to eat ?” Freddie asks once we’re seated.
“I’m not hungry.”
“Are you sure ? I’m gonna get you whatever thing you need.”
“Freddie food doesn’t buy trust. You might still be my very first friend but you fucked everything up.”
“I thought you forgave me.”
“I did. Doesn’t mean I forgot what happened.” I shrug and sigh. Gray is still not leaving my head.
