"Did you cook it? It looks delicious!"
I sat in the chair in front of luke and tasted the breakfast he cooked first. Delicious! I looked at him and smiled very sweetly. I should still be asleep at this time but I woke up because I could smell what he was cooking earlier. I don't even know how I got to his bed while in his car I slept last night. And because I was so tired, I didn't even wake up last night.
"I told you! I'm really good at cooking," He said suddenly as he watched me eat.
"I know," I replied and smiled at him.
"You can eat me too if you want. Should I prepare myself for you as well?" He suddenly told me so I stopped chewing and looked at him.
"I'm eating Luke, a little respect, please. Your mouth has no filter now, huh? You want me to sew that?" I said as the fork pointed at him.
He really annoys me. It's too early for him to annoy me like this, maybe later I'll give up, it's dangerous.
"I was just kidding!" He chuckled and leaned on me and then he messes my hair.
"Stop it!"
He raised his hand as if he was giving up. I just rolled my eyes at him before came back to what I'm doing- eating my breakfast. I really hope I just went home last night even though it was late at night, so I can drive, my eyes are still clear.
When I finished eating, I put it away and washed the things I used. Then I went to the living room where Luke was, I saw him watching a show I didn’t know
I sat down next to him and took a pillow and laid it on my thigh before leaning back on the sofa.
"Are you now full?" He suddenly asked.
I nodded. "Yes. Of course."
"That's good!" He took my hand and interlocked our hands.
My heart began racing as soon as he started to hold my hand. I smiled at him but it also disappeared immediately when I felt a sudden pain in my chest, as if it was being crushed again. I quickly removed my hand from his hand. When I looked at him, the shock was obvious on his face so I immediately got up and went out.
I went to the pool to calm myself. The wind is strong here and it also feels good, maybe, my heart will be calm by now.
But I thought that my chest would finally calm down, I was wrong. Because I felt the arms hugging me from behind. That's Luke!
"What's wrong? Is something bothering you, Blaire? Hmm?" He asked on my neck.
I shook my head. "It's nothing!"
"Is that so? Then why did you leave?" He asked again.
I sighed. "It's just nothing! I just want some fresh air. That's all." I lied.
"You're lying! I know, there something bothering you. Come on, Blaire. Tell me!" He really want to know it.
I took a deep breath and then I bit my lower lip before remove his arms around me. I looked at him seriously and heavily sighed. I slowly nodded as I hold his both hands.
"I felt pain in my chest earlier when you held my hand. And the pain I felt earlier, was the same as the pain I felt before 11 years ago. I don't know why," I quickly explained.
He stared at me for almost two minutes, so my brows furrowed. And then, he suddenly sighed as he tightened the grip on my hand. But it's not that tight, it's not that painful either.
"I'm sorry," he whispered and suddenly hugged me. "I'm sorry. I know it's because of me. So I'm sorry, Blaire."
I pushed him lightly. "Hey, don't be like that. It's not your fault. I understand everything now, Luke. I'll be fine so don't worry," I said.
I smiled at him to let him know that I was okay so he smiled too even though it was fake. We didn't go inside first, the two of us sat by the side of the pool and only our legs were buried in the water.
"The fresh air here feels so good." I looked at him and smiled. "Don't worry, my heart is calm now," I told him and he just smiled.
I wrapped my arm around his and interlocked our hands and look up at the sky but I closed my eyes because it was too bright. It will hurt my eyes if I look up while my eyes are open.
I still wonder to this day why I feel that way again. Why? Why do I have to be hurt like that again in just a few minutes? Luke and I are okay, we're fine! So, why?
"Your hand fits in mine like it's just made for me," Luke suddenly whispered but I heard that, I looked at him.
"What?" I asked a little bit confused.
He smiled sweetly at me. "I said, your hand is just for me." I laughed a little.
"I know. I think so, too."
He took a deep breath while staring at me and his smile still placed on his lips.
"I wish I could have you sleeping in my arms. Hear your breathe. Feel your heartbeat. Have you kissing me. I need you falling asleep in my arms. Until then, only my dreams can provide such happiness."
"We better not let go then," I said leaning my head on his shoulder with a smile. He returned my smile as he started playing with my hand in his. I closed my eyes so that I could enjoy finally being able to accept the fact that he loves me just as much as I love him. It was one of the few peaceful moments that I'd had since arriving in this place.
"Do you really need to go home? I really want to be with you, Blaire." He said while following me outside.
"I need to go home, Luke. I need to help claire in the shop, you know that. I also have a work." I simply explained.
He just sighed after a few minutes of thinking. "Fine! I will just take you to the shop."
"No! You will just take me to the rest house because my car was there, right? Remember?"
"Oh! So sad. Fine. Let's go. I don't have a choice." I just laughed when he burst into his car. The door didn't even open for me.
I'm really just laughing at his actions now, especially since we're on the road now and he's still mumbling while looking sadly at the road. I really like him since before. He is so cute.
"Stop that! You look like someone crazy!" I laughed.
"I'm only like this when I'm with you, so you are a lucky woman." He winked at me and I just shook my head.
"I don't think so." I laughed.
"Tss!"
We didn't talk anymore because he didn't talk to me anymore, he just looked at the road seriously until we just arrived at the resthouse.
I got out and went to my car but I didn't get inside first. I looked at luke who was in front of his car and staring at me intently. I raised an eyebrow at him then I laughed when he suddenly shook his head. I was no longer surprised when he approached me with both of his hands in his pockets.
He looks so cool and handsome at the same time!
"Can I borrow a kiss? I promise. I'll give it back," He said and looked at me innocently.
I put my index finger under my chin as if I was thinking about that "No!" I immediately said "No kiss for today's video! Bye!"
I smiled at him before getting inside my car and quickly turned it on. My wide smile couldn’t be erased from my lips as I drove home.
When I got home, I quickly went to my room and took a shower. I also finished quickly. When I came out of the bathroom, I heard my phone ringing on my bed so I immediately came over and answered luke's call.
"What do you need?" I asked immediately.
["Nothing. I just called to ask if you're home already. Have you been home yet?"]
I rolled my eyes. "Isn't it obvious? It's been a few hours since I left."
I heard him laugh softly. ["Oh, yes! That's right. Maybe, I just miss you already."]
I chuckled. "Luke, we were just together a while ago, is that really how you love me? Huh?"
["Yes. I really love you that much since we were still in a college."]
I covered my face using my pillow as I take away my phone from me. "Okay, okay! You win."
["Okay then, I'll drop the call. Just eat right at the right time. Be careful when driving. Don't get too tired. Go to sleep when you are drowsy so that you can rest. And don't talk to other men. Don't even look at them, you should only look at me. Okay?"]
"Wow ha! Okay, okay. Fine. I get it. You really are talkative." I laughed.
["I love you!"]
He suddenly turned off the call after he said that. Just wow!
"He said I love you, he really thought we were together again. That man is really different. Tss!" I said to myself.
I still can't believe it!
I thought then, that our happiness is over, that we would not go any further. And with each passing year, my hope that we will still be to the end also diminishes. But it has changed, it has changed since we met. I admit that there was a little hope that rose in my heart that day. Hopefully, we can continue the love we had before, the love he ruined... even though I know that there are already traces of cheating and traces that he gave me too much pain.
But now that we are together, that we are living well, that we are starting another love story. I realized that everything that happens in our lives has a reason.
Everything happens for a reason... That reason causes changes. Sometimes it hurts. Sometimes it's hard. But in the end, it's all for the best.
"You're here! I thought you weren't going." Claire laughed a little after she said that to me when I entered the shop.
I looked around. "Where's finn? Why he is not here?" I asked as I sat beside her.
She looked at me. "He's sick. So, I let him go home and rest."
"I see."
I put my bag on the side of the desk and leaned on the desk then I closed my eyes. Why do I feel tired? Aish! I didn't do much yesterday, except what happened there in the little house. Oh my god!
"Why? Are you sick, too?" Claire suddenly asked as she touches my forehead and feels if I'm sick.
I took her hand away. "Stop it! It's nothing. Okay?" She smirks and nodded. "Just finish what you're doing there."
"All right, then."
Bumalik na siya sa ginagawa niya at hindi na ako kinausap pa. Buti naman at naintindihan niya 'yon, na ayaw kong makipag-usap. I'm not in the mood.
"Blaire?" And then she suddenly called me.
I looked at her but she's not looking at me. "What?"
"Can you please take my bag inside as well as my other belongings. Please?" I nodded at her and stood up.
I took his things and took them out and gave them to her. I wondered what's up with her. Everything she was using was in order, so I wondered why she seemed to be going somewhere.
"Are you leaving? Where are you going? Tell me!" I asked her.
She looked at me and smiled. "Yes! I'm going to London. I'll be there for... maybe, just two weeks."
My brows frowned. "Why? What are you going to do there?"
"London Fashion Week!" She simply said before smiled at me.
Before I could answer her, I noticed that she seemed to look at me differently. No! She was not looking at me, but behind me. So I slowly turned around.
"Ahh! Oh my god! You startled me!" I quickly uttered.
I grabbed my chest and leaned against the desk and closed my eyes. I can't stand it. They surprised me too much. I glared at both of them and hit them in their arms.
"What are you doing here? And you really surprised me! Do you think it's funny? Again... What are you two doing here?" I asked them.
But they didn't answer, instead, they glaring at each other and their fists were clenched. Here they are... again.
