I just got home from work when my iPad rang, its Charles!
I was very excited when I answer his call through FaceTime.
“Yeoboseyo” I said.
I heard him chuckled. “How are you princess? You look tired.”
Princess and prince and is our endearment with each other. I don’t there is anything wrong with that since we were best friends.
I smiled at him and answered. “Sort of.”
“Don’t treat yourself as if you are the wonder woman. How many jobs do you have right now?” He said teasingly.
I have one regular job in our company, I work with Vince and Lieo as their stylist.
“Its not that much. Its just 3?” I said in a teasing tone.
“I thought its 4?” Charles said.
I frowned. “4? What’s the other one?”
He grin. “Yes. You already have a boyfriend right?”
I rolled my eyes. “Being a girlfriend is not a job you brute!”
He laughed at me, really enjoying my reaction.
“Why can’t you considered that? He also consumed your time. I still can’t believe that finally you already have a boyfriend. I thought you will be an old maid. I even think that I will just marry you if you remained single. You know that I love doing charity works.” He added.
I pouted. “Really? Good thing I have a boyfriend now.” I said as a counter back from his teased.
He smirked. “So when will I meet your boyfriend?”
“When are you going here in the Philippines?” I answered with a question,
He put his hand on his chin as he was thinking. “I think I’ll go back there for our reunion.”
I frowned. “Reunion?”
“You didn’t know? Try to read the updates in our Facebook group.” He said.
That made me think. “I’m not sure. I wasn’t able to check my Facebook account due to my work.”
“Well I think after we talk you can open it. And if I’m not mistaken they made an invitation on Facebook. Almost everyone will come so I informed my manager and CEO for the said reunion for them to adjust my schedule here.” He gave a long explanation.
“Is he—- is he coming also?” I asked nervously.
His forehead creased. “Who are you referring to?”
“H-him.” I said because I know that he really knew who I am talking about.
His brow raised. “Are you referring to Jester?”
I simply nodded.
“Yes he will attend.” He said in a cold voice.
I suddenly got nervous. I don’t know if I still want to see him. I know I already moved on. I’m sure of it that is why I accepted Andrew right?!
“Ah.” The only answer I gave.
“Alli… Don’t tell me?”
I shake my head and smile. “No Charles. I already moved on so you don’t need to worry. I won’t accept Andrew as my boyfriend if I don’t love him.”
“Are you telling that to me or you are telling that to yourself?” He said seriously.
I swallowed. Sometimes I don’t know if I will be happy that my best friend knows me so well that he can read my mind.
I sighed. “I don’t know but when you said he was coming I was suddenly nervous. Do you think I still love him?” There is no reason for me to hide it from him.
Yes now I am questioning myself. Because if I’m okay, why am I nervous? Why do I feel afraid now that I have a chance to see him again? Why it pains me to think about him especially when I pictured him with Rachel and their baby.
“Hey don’t doubt your feelings toward Andrew. You love him. Its normal to feel that because you two don’t have closure.” He said seriously to me.
“You think it’s better for me not to attend in the said reunion?” I asked him.
I do not want to attend. I do not want my mind to be confused. I’m afraid I might be wrong. Maybe until now I still love him, that I still can’t forget him. That maybe I was just overwhelmed with Andrew. And because I was to desperate to forget Jester.
“No. Its better that you attend.” He said seriously.
“W-what i-f I realize that i-its still h-him?” I asked anxiously.
I was scared, I was scared to know the truth. I’m okay now. I am happy now. I don’t want any more trouble.
“You still need to face him.”
I swallowed hard. I think he’s right. I really need to face him. For my sake, for Andrew’s sake.
