UNTIL I MET YOU : CHAPTER 71 – 80
I wish he’s seated here right now. I want an explanation about what i just saw. I want him so bad and it hurts to see him with someone else.
“So what are you doing here ? In New York ?”
He exhales deeply and itch his eyebrows.
“I um.. work in my father’s company actually and it’s in New York.”
“Did you graduate from college ?”
” I took a degree program and it was worth it. I also discovered you’re in New York and I badly wanted to see you to tell you how sorry I am.”
“So that we can have a relationship right ?” I scoff and lean back on the chair to watch him.
He’s really grown different. His natural curly hair is now tousled and he has a really cute stubble which he hasn’t shaved yet or maybe he decides not to. His white dress shirt fits his body and without being told he is well built. Maybe this past few years he’d slept at the gym.
He looks fabulously different but still an idiot. An idiot who made me go through hell. At least he thought me a lesson. A lesson that I’ve forgotten ever since Gray step into my life with his dark world.
“You look beautiful. It hurts to see you cry.” He mutters.
“You didn’t think about that before tearing my habit. It’s passed though but the sore is still there. And just a little sting triggers the pain.” I sigh and clean my eyes.
He nods and look down at the empty table. It’s nice he can’t meet my eyes.
“Are you dating someone now ?” I ask him. I can’t even think of someone being his girlfriend. Aside that rape issue , Freddie is a good person.
Aside Gray, he’s the other person who also fought for me and yeah Alexa. But what happened ?
“I’m not. I can’t. You’re the only thing I think of and it’s painful that i hurt you.”
“Yeah right.” I blink my eyes and fight back the tears. I can’t cry because of anyone not in front of Freddie.
That scenario of Gray and that blonde haired is not leaving my head and it’s annoying.
“My mom asked about you.” Freddie says with a shrug. His eyes meet mine but he look down at the table.
“Thanks. I need to go now.” I move back the chair and stand up.
“You’re sure I can’t drop you ?” Freddie asks and stand up too.
“Thanks, I’m fine. It’s not raining actually. I’ll get a cab.” I walk out of the restaurant and hail a cab.
Without looking back , I slide inside and shut the door. Freddie stand outside as he watch me , eyes filled with emotions.
Most times i wish we can go back to being friends. But it’s hard. Just seeing him all the time, bring back memories. I told the driver my address and lean back on the seat. The drive was short as it halts outside my apartment. I paid him and get out.
I’m meeting up with the kid I’m supposed to babysit. I’ve never been close to kids but I gotta try cause I need the money and I need to forget Gray. I already applied for an internship and I’m hoping for a reply.
I sit opposite the TV and search through movies on Netflix. A bowl full of popcorn rest on my lap as I tune endlessly. I stop right at a romance movie and changed it. Maybe i need to watch something that doesn’t concern love.
I select a random crime movie and lay back on the couch to watch. I barely could concentrate. Gray’s everywhere in my head. And the sight of him with someone hurts like hell. How could he easily forgot about me ? Yeah , he checked on me but that doesn’t mean he should just move on.
I want him back but how am I supposed to tell him that ? What if I tell him how I feel about us and he’s no longer interested. I’m such an ass.
I sob silently and throw my head back on the couch. I wish he can just call me and tell me he want us to meet. To explain to me that he still cares about me.
I pick up my phone and dial his number on my phone. Same thing , voicemail. I groan and throw my phone aside. Maybe i should just move on.
But he makes me happy.
I’m gonna stop crying and forget the fact that someone with the name Gray Carter walks into my life and stole my breath away. Probably my senses too.
