Gavin’s POV
Despite the cold temperature here in the restaurant, I’m still having a sweat. I was so tense to think that this is only a dinner date.
This is the second time that the four of us will be having a dinner. The only difference is that I am not Aubree’s date for tonight’s dinner. She is with Sebastian.
“Are you okay?” Sam asked me with full of concern.
I just smiled at her and nodded.
We chose the same restaurant where we had our last dinner together. This time my date is Sam. How I wish that it will be just last time where I am Aubree’s date. But I know that is impossible now to happen.
“Its okay Gavin, that person surely loves you.” Sam said out of the blue.
I winced at what she said.
I sighed. I know she is just trying to cheer me up.
“How I wish, but we both know that its not.” I said bitterly.
“Trust me. She loves you.” She smiled and then she winked at me.
I just shook my head by what she said.
She never changed. The ever positive Sam.
Aubree’s POV
We went in to the same restaurant we four had. At the time, Gavin became my source of strength.
I sighed. I just wish that I can be able to fixed my relationship with Gavin. The closeness that we had before. I really miss him. He’s the only friend I had.
When we arrived, the restaurant staffs assist us to our reserved private room.
When the door opened I saw Gavin and Sam having fun talking.
They stopped when they saw us entering the room.
Sam immediately welcomed us while Gavin remain quiet and looking at us.
I swallowed hard when I met his gazed.
I miss him. I really do. I want to go to him and hug him but I know that I need to control myself from doing that especially when he is giving me a cold stare.
The way he looked at me is very different from the Gavin I knew before. I saw sadness and hatred in his eyes. That made me feel so weak.
I felt tears form in my eyes so before it dripped I immediately averted my eyes.
I felt Seb’s hand on my waist. “Let’s go Bree.” Seb said softly.
I smiled and nodded to Seb.
Actually, I feel guilty towards Seb. Though our relationship is still in secret, he never failed to make me feel how much he loves me.
I feel guilty because at some point I feel like I wasn’t able to give back the love that he is giving me.
I know that I should feel happy and contented right now. Because finally I got back together with Seb. The guy I waited for a very long time, the guy that I always want to spend my whole life with. But because of the things that happened between me and Gavin, I can’t make myself to be completely happy.
And I know that Seb is not dumb not to know what I am feeling now. But I never heard any complaints from him. I feel like he knew where I am coming from that is why he is just letting me have my own time to deal with my own problem. And because of that I feel even more guilty.
The dinner became very awkward compare to the last dinner that we had. Seb and Sam were the ones carrying the conversation.
“Exchange partners.” Seb blurted out.
“Yeah. But I guess we’re on the right track now… I mean partner. Right Bree?” Sam said while smiling at me.
I look at Seb. I can see the genuine happiness in his eyes. I smiled to him.
Then I look at Gavin’s direction. I cleared my throat when I saw him looking at me as if waiting for me to answer.
“Y-yes.” I said almost a whisper.
I averted my eyes when I saw pain in Gav’s eyes.
At this dinner it seems like Sam is the only one who feels happy with the things that is happening now.
I guess I was wrong. Sam is really in love with Gav and not with Seb. I can see the joy on her eyes right now.
This place has many memories. I’m not sure though if its a good or bad memories.
I wanted to laughed at our situation now, because it seems like nothing has changed.
