“This is it, I think i can entrust her to you now ”
“I’m glad you can now ” he replied to me with a smile.
“I think I’ll get ready for the work then. ”
“Sure”
I went to the bedroom and this time Ethan didn’t followed me.
I opened wardrobe and got my uniform out. I went to the bathroom and closed the door. I changed into my waitress’s dress. I tie my hair on the top of head with black hairband. I usually do ponytail at my working hour. And then I got out of the washroom.
I searched for my phone and booked scab for me.
I took my hand bag put my mobile phone and then went out of the bedroom. When i got out of the bedroom, Ethan was making sandwiches from the breads that I didn’t get to eat this morning.
“Hey Riley, did you have your breakfast ?”
“Actually not, I was busy taking care of her.. that I forgot about that thing ”
“Good then… Why don’t you came and have some Sandwiches. I’m making for me , I don’t mind making more. ”
I looked at my mobile phone. It was already nine. Our resturant is quite far, Cami and i usually move at nine.
“It’s already late Ethan, my cab can came anytime ”
“Come-on it’s just a sandwich, you don’t even need five minutes to finish it and your cab is gonna take some time to reach here, even if you called.”
“Fine then….. ” I went to the kitchen.
He put the sandwich on a plate . And then he opened the fridge.
He took out a bottle of juice and poured it in a glass.
“here you go ”
“Thank you ”
I quickly took a bite of sandwich… It was really amazing… This taste..
“This really tastes like Cami’s. ”
I looked at him and he smiled to himself. ” I know. She was the one to teach me. ”
I nodded at him… But inside was a question.. When?…. You guys just met a couple of time. And then you proposed her…. When did she had time to teach you this…
I finished all the sandwich and gulped down the juice. Then I put the plate on the sink.
“Left it here, I’ll wash after I came. I need to go for now. ”
“Sure…. I won’t take you plate away ” he jocked.
I laughed at his joke and left the apartment.
I went down to the apartment. I looked here and there but the cab wasn’t here yet.
I take out my phone and dialed the cab’s number that I got online.
“tring tring ” the call ringed before he pick up the phone.
“Hello, Online Cab service… How can I help you? ” he said as he picked up his phone.
“Hello… I booked the cab a while ago. ”
“Yes mam yes, I’m coming to you right now. I’m on the way. ”
“I’ve been waiting here… When will you reach? ”
“I’ll reach soon mam. Less than five minutes ” he said.
“Where are you exactly? Do you know my location? ” he asked.
“I’m in front of the supermarket. Don’t worry mam, I have your location”
“Okay then came fast ”
I hung up the call. I looked around, no one was here. I went to the left side of the building and sat on a bench.
I surfed online and I saw there was a friend request and a message request. I quickly look at the friend request and looked who had sent me friend request.
Unexpectedly The name of the sender was ” Jason “. I quickly went inside the profile to confirm he was the same Jason or not. He was the same Jason.
He was from my school. He, me and cami read together for three years from. We were so close to each other back than… He used to pursue me so much…. But I never felt anything for him. He was my best friend to me not more than that. He was nice, caring and warm like any girl would want his boyfriend to be but feelings are something that I can’t control.
I told him clearly about it but he never listened . He said even if I don’t love him now, I’ll love him in the future. He always get me flowers and chocolates for me from his pocket money. I told him not to do so but he wanted to be more warm to me so that I’ll accept him.
But he have to go out of city for his studies. He wanted to be a basketball player and he said he had to go to somewhere where he can pursue his dreams along with his studies. He was a very cheerful and happy happy guy, always caring positive aura around him but I saw him crying when he was leaving. I don’t expect him to send me friend request after all these years.
I quickly accepted his friend request . And then I opened the message. It obviously was from him…. I opened the message and there was only one message there.
“Hey Riley, I’m back… I went to your house to give you surprise but I was the one to get that… they said you moved out. Give me your address now.”
He was back? I and Cami tried to contact him when he went out but he never responded our calls or messages, not on facebook not on mobile number. We tried to stay connected but he never looked back after he left. He even changed his number and deactivate his facebook account after a while. And then we both stopped trying to reach him.
“Do you still remember us??? ” I asked him.
As soon as my message was sent. It became seen in a while. He was online maybe waiting for my message…
“I never forget you Leyson. ”
I looked at his message and smiled he wasn’t changed a bit. Leyson – it was a mix of Riley’s Ley and Jason’s son. He was the one to make that of course. He used to call me Leyson back than when he was with me and Cami.
And also asked me to call him the same. He had a weird theory about that. ‘Leyson is a name made for Riley and Jason. People should know us as Leyson, not as Riley and Jason because we are one soul in two bodies’
“I’m still angered with you. You better stay away. ” I sent him with a angry emoji. I was surely angry and dissapointed from his behavior,, after he left. We could still be friends even if we were far right?
“You can complain all once we met. ” he sent me another message with a love emoji.
“Give me your address or come out to meet me ” he sent again before I could reply .
I was angry with him but still he was my friend.
“I’m staying at Cami’s.” I wrote the message and sent.
Not long after he replied “Wait for me, I’m coming there in a while. I have something for you both.”
I shook my head… He was still the same Jason.. A bit impatient a bit childish.
“I’m out for work. Cami is not well” I wroe back to him remembering Cami was not well and Ethan was there.
“What happened to her? Is she fine? ” he was concerned about Cami.
“she’s good, just a little fever”
“peep peep” I saw a cab coming in front of me. I then turn off facebook and then call the cab’s driver..
“Hello” as soon as I called the cab’s driver in front of me picked up the phone.
I ran towards the cab and sat at the back.
“To The Star resturant ” I said.
He nodded in respond and started the car engine. We were now on the road full of traffic and a loud music was being played on the car.
I opened my facebook again. There was three unread messages there.
“Thanks goddess. ”
“Where do you work by the way? ”
“Why are you not replying? ”
All of them were from Jason.
“Leyson ” not long after I read his previous message a new message popped up
“Star resturant ” I replied only that text to him. It was my problem I can’t write properly while I’m in a car or a moving vechile.
I didn’t looked at the phone screen for more time after replying him. I locked it and simply put it on the bag.
It didn’t took a lot time to reach the resturant. I gave the cab’s driver his money and went inside.
“Good morning Riley” Jenny greeted me as soon as I entered.
“Hii Jenny how are you? ”
“All good. Here you go. ” she put an register in front of me.
And took the pen and made my signature. Then I gave the pen and register back to Jenny.
“See you around, Riley”
“Of course we will” I replied with a smile and went towards the kitchen.
Then I put the bag in there. I then took a towel and went to clean the tables.
