Unknown Mishaps

Chapter 15

KHIONE CYRA

I'm not jealous, ok? I'm not. I swear.

I went home pissed and in a bad mood. I pretended everything was fine and laughed with my family during dinner, but once I got to my room, I just wanted to scream.

This morning, Raidon brought a random girl with him and I was pissed. I don't even know why I felt that way, but I did. Then, in the afternoon, I bumped into Jase and everything just fell apart for me. Overall, it was a bad day and I hated it.

I walked to the bathroom and decided to take a shower. A long one. After showering and cooling off a bit, my phone rang. Without looking at the caller ID, I answered.

"Khi?"

It was Raidon. I sighed softly and put my phone on loudspeaker while doing my skincare.

"What do you need, Raidon?" I asked a bit coldly.

"You ignored me today and I can't help but think that you're mad at me."

His voice was soft and sad. I almost felt bad if it weren't for the stunt he pulled earlier. I glared at my phone and took a deep breath.

"I'm not mad and I'm not ignoring you." I said, trying my best not to sound angry.

"You are! I can hear it in your voice!"

"Alright. Fine. I was pissed. I know what you were doing earlier and I got annoyed. I mean, why would you do that?" I snapped, looking at my reflection in the mirror then at my phone.

I waited for Raidon to say something because he suddenly went quiet. I looked at my phone and saw that the call was still ongoing. I was about to apologize when Raidon finally spoke.

"I'm sorry. I also don't know what came over me. I wanted to make you jealous and all that and I just... I don't know. I'm sorry, Khi."

I relaxed and sighed softly, "It's fine. Let just... forget it even happened."

"Yeah."

There was a brief moment of silence. It was a little awkward so I decided to change the topic.

"So... how's it going between you and your girlfriend?" I asked, applying my moisturizer.

"We broke up."

I blinked and stopped what I was doing. I stared at my phone as if I was staring at Raidon. I blinked in disbelief.

"Excuse me? What?" I asked, not sure if I heard him right.

"Yeah. We broke up."

I scoffed, "What? Why? What happened?"

"Things aren't just working for us anymore. I'm tired and... well, I found out she was cheating on me so... I ended things between us."

"You didn't... You didn't ask her why she did it?" I inquired and covered my mouth as I realized something.

Fuck. Am I asking too much? I'm being too nosy. Damn it.

Raidon laughed and I was surprised.

"Why would I? As a celebrity, I think it's obvious why she did what she did."

I sighed softly, turned off the lights in the bathroom, and grabbed my phone. I plopped on the couch.

"I know, but still... you and her go way back, right? How long were you guys in a relationship?" I asked, looking up at the ceiling.

"5 and a half years."

Damn. That long? That's got to hurt.

"I'm sorry about that." I said softly.

We talked about our past relationships the whole night and when I was about to fall asleep, I told him that I'm off tomorrow so I won't be in the coffee shop, but Sandra would be there.

We ended the call and I checked my phone. My eyes widened when I saw the timestamp of our call.

1hr 30 mins 26secs

How'd we end up talking for that long?

°°°°°°°°°°

The next day, I woke up earlier than everyone and decided to make my own breakfast. I made my coffee and finished my omelette which had tomatoes, cheese, spinach, and mushrooms.

As I was eating, my phone chimed. I glanced at it and noticed that Raidon texted me.

Raidon: Wish you were here :

I almost spat out my breakfast and read his message again. I giggled and replied to him.

Me: Who calls their c***s a weiner? What are you? 5? HAHAHAH

I pressed send and giggled to myself. I washed my dishes and heated my now cold coffee in the microwave. While waiting for my coffee to heat up, I checked my phone and Raidon replied.

Raidon: I just thought you'd be comfy with that. I mean you don't look like the type of person who'd call my weiner a c**k.

Me: Raidon, I'm an adult. It's fine. HAHAHA

The microwave sounded and I got my coffee. Then, I received a message from Michie.

Michie: So.... my boyfriend and I got tickets for a movie and we accidentally got double. Do you mind if you and Raidon tag along?

My eyes widened and I stared at her message for quite a while. My fingers hover about my keypad and before I could reply, Michie sent another message.

Michie: Say yes? Raidon already agreed and we're meeting later at 2 p.m.

My jaw went slack and I was stunned for a moment.

Is this... my first time hanging out with foreign friends?

I snapped back out of my thoughts, shook my head, and replied to Michie.

Me: Sure. No problem. I'll see you guys there. Text me the location. :)

I hit the send button and took a deep breath. I finished my coffee and waited for my parents to wake up. I scrolled through the my i********: and saw a post from Joelle.

It was a picture of her and Jase on the couch. He was laying on her lap and her hand was threaded through his hair. She was wearing a white spaghetti top and maybe some shorts because her thighs were exposed. The caption was:

Do you guys believe in second chances?

I scoffed and scrolled past the picture.

Why am I so affected? I broke it off with him already. I shouldn't feel like crying right now.

A few minutes later, my parents woke up and I watched them fix up their breakfast first before gathering my courage to ask for permission.

I know I'm a grown ass adult and I shouldn't be asking for permission, but I'm still new to this country and who knows what might happen.

I approached my mom and dad, sat on a stool by the counter and took a deep breath.

"Good morning. Have you eaten your breakfast?" Dad asked and I nodded.

"Yeah. Uhm... there's something I'd like to tell you." I said sheepishly, caressing my empty mug of coffee.

"Sure, dear. What is it?" Mom said, making her own cup of coffee.

I bit my bottom lip, "My friend from work asked me and another friend of ours to come with her to watch a movie. I already said yes because the tickets were already paid."

My mom and dad stared at me for a few moments before looking at each other. I waited for their answer anxiously and I swallowed thickly.

"That's alright, darling. Let your dad drive you to the location, hmm?" Mom said and kissed the side of my head. I smiled.

"Of course, mom." I happily replied.

I was about to walk to my room when my phone chimed. I looked at my phone and saw a message from Raidon.

Raidon: Ha! I get to see you on your day off! I can't wait to watch the movie with you! ;p

I smiled and replied.

Me: It's your lucky day then. :P

Why did I suddenly get so excited? it's just a movie. Nothing bad is going to happen, right?
