I hugged her tightly I miss her so much even though her mother is a witch we're still very close.
"I'm all alone Astr---" I shut her mouth immediately
"They know me as Elysse here" I whisper ro her.
I sent her to the lobby and stay there to wait until I was done with what I was doing. I don't know how she got here but the only thing I now I missed her and the city too.
"Who's that girl there?" Felix asked me.
"She's my cousin" I simply answered.
he never asked again and left immediately and I hastened my work. I'm so excited to talk to her since Reagan isn't here I don't have a single reason not to be with my cousin.
In just an hour I was done with all the work and I was ready to leave when my partner stopped me.
"I'm sorry Elysse there's an emergency at home I need to go" weep she says.
Wrong timing. I let her go just in case that was really an emergency and I was to blame for not giving her the chance to go.
"I can't show you where I've been here in Coron Bell" I said with a sad tone.
"Its As--Elysse I'm okay here we can talk here though" she said.
I took Bella to the lobby and took her back to the front desk so I could be with her We can't talk properly because we have customers to look after.
"I will be home later tonight Elysse" Bella said.
"Why? Did you book a flight immediately?"
She smiled sweetly. "I'm with my boyfriend Mama doesn't know about him and he is the one who help find you" she explained.
"Really?" I said with a raised voice.
She chuckled. "I didn't know you have a high voice"
We laugh together and when felix came we stop from laughing.
"Hi Bella?" He said and pointed his index finger to bella.
"Yes and you are her boyfriend?" Bella asked.
I hit her in the arm.
"Don't mind her Sir she was just joking" I said with smiling.
"Oh I thought you are---"
"Bella stop it!" I warned her.
"Sorry felix, what are you doing here?" I asked him.
"I just want to invite you for dinner"
"No problem. what time anyway?"
"7 pm sharp" he said.
"Okay"
After he talk to me he left again. Felix is a busy kind of person he come here to reminde or invite me to go somewhere and then leave immediately he also texting me not as always.
"He is an Ideal guy" suddenly Bella said.
"yes but this doesn't like it" i said and point my heart.
"Who is that lucky guy?" She asked.
"He is 26 years old" I simply said.
She almost fell because of her reaction what is wrong with it is okay because i'm not a minor anymore.
"You are over reacting Bella he is not that old"
"But why? are you suffering here?" Her reaction makes her look like a crazy woman.
I didn't mind her anymore I just finished my job actually kaths' work.
My phone vibrated in the middle of my work.
Babe Reagan
Hey I'm sorry.
Since our talks last night that is thelast time we had talk and even his text I didn't mine Bella go beside me and checked my phone.
"That is your boyfriend where is he?" Bella said.
"He's not my boyfriend he insists remember he get my phone and change his phone name" I explained.
"Don't lie to me Elysse I'll let you meet my boyfriend he is somewhere out there" she said.
how can I admit that Reagan had a relationship with me I didn't even feel his courtship. maybe that's just how it is when the mind is already matured and not to be taken to the task like what high school and others do as long as you really how you love him/her
"Where did you met him?" I ask
"School he is graduation students and I'm on the last year" she happily said.
I'm so sad. I wish I was the same as Bella even though she is a year older than me we still the same school year level.
"Congrats!" I try to be happy in front of her.
"Don't be sad As--Elysse you can do it too not this year but someday" her words of wisdom.
She always say a words or a phrase that can make me feel better and give encouragement to me.
"Maybe I'll enroll next year and I don't know how" I said.
We stop from talking to each other because I have a customer.
"Good afternoo ma'am?" I greeted.
"May I know what is Reagan huxley room?"
My left eybrows raised as she asked me that. Is this another woman of his life?
"He checked out the other day ma'am" I said.
"What? He said we have something to do here and he wasn not here" she said with an ugly reaction.
"May I know your name ma'am so that if he go here i can remind him"
I want to choke a womanizer now not a simple choke I want it to do until he's dead.
"Trixie Triyas" she said and leave.
"Womanizer isn't it?" Bella whisper on my ear.
"Tell me where your boyfriend is? It may be late when you get home and tita beatrice will be mad at you?" I said.
"Its okay Elysse you can deal that heart pain" she said.
"I am not Bella!"
Since I was done with work we immediately went to the parking lot because his boyfriend was waiting there. leaning on the car was a man in pants and a black plain shirt maybe it was Bella's boyfriend in our direction he was the only man. So I assume that it was him and I'm correct.
"Jason!" Bella called and the guy was I meantioning look at us.
They kissed each other it was on lips. They act like they're legal now if tita beatrice will found this out I'm sure she will be furious.
"This is my cousin Don't mind her name she used two names" Bella explain it ro her boyfriend.
"Hi" I said then he just smiled.
Did this guy know how to speak?
"Take care of my cousin have a safe flight" I said.
"Don't worry Astrid"
He actually know how to speak I chuckled when they already enter the car. I checked my phone and read Reagan messages.
Babe Reagan
Please talk to me.
I can't even concentrate to my work Elysse.
Hey! Babe!
I don't want to talk to him even though I really want to hear his voice he is such a womanizer and it sucks out of me.
On my way home I suddenly remember felix invited me to have a dinner with him I texted him to ask where we'll going to meet.
Me
Where will we meet?
He reaponse immediately.
Felix
I'll fetch you.
When I got home I found jade reading in the living room.
"Did you cooked already Jade?" I directly said even I'm still at the entrance of the apartment.
"I just bought it outside" she said.
"Its okay felix invited me to have a dinner with him is it okay?" I ask.
"Yes don't forget to tell him that I'm single" She chuckled.
I really feel tired today something is very heavy inside me is it because of Reagan and our fights? Or something because bella visited me?
Its already 7pm and felix is waiting for me outside I was so sleepy I didn't realize I was sleeping I dressed in a hurry.
"Sorry I was asleep" I said while fixing my sandals.
I bought my things during my day off which is sunday and tomorrow is my day off I want to go somewhere wherein I can inhale fresh air.
"Its okay lets go" he said.
While on the road he did not speak we remain silence we both heard the vibration of my phone.
Womanizer
I change his name.
Womanizer:
Where are you?
I still did not reply on his message I focus my sight on the road there was no traffic so we drove smoothly up to the very expensive restaurant.
"Why are you so silent felix?" I couldn't stop asking.
"Seems like you doesn't like to be with me?" He said and look at my phone.
"Why do you think so? If this is because about my phone then I turn it off"
I show my phone to him and power off my phone.
"Happy?" I said with a smile.
He come closer to me and hug. He was five years older than me and I treat him like my older brother with a special version. I hug him too.
"I'm already hungry lets it first" I said.
He just laugh at me. We enter the restaurant and by there it was very elegant and the tables are very organize I couldn't help but marvel at the whole restaurant.
"Did you like it?" Felix asked.
"Yes! Isn't it too expensive here?"
"I can afford Elysse for you" he said.
We have a private reservation just the two of us I saw some of the girls are giggling while looking at felix.
They really attracted to felix charm but how? I wish he was the only one I liked and not that womanizer. I admit it I'm falling for Reagan but there's still barriers on it and some of its part are hard to destroy that means I still have no fully trust on him.
"Are you okay?"
I just went back to myself when felix speak.
"Ah-yeah what d-did you order?" My voice broke.
Oh my god astrid! Don't show to him that you are thinking other man while with him. He is a guy and he knows how to feel a girl.
"What is your favorite?"
"They might not have serve it here" I said though I was so shy to say it.
He smiled. "What is it?"
"Dried fish" he laugh at me.
"I'm just kidding felix just order what you want" I said.
While waiting for food to serve I was so really helpless because felix was just staring at his cellphone and doing something business I think.
"Felix don't you have a girlfriend?" I suddenly ask him.
His attention was with me now he put his phone on the side and look at me straightly.
"The girl I like in love to other" he seriously answerd.
"Oh thats hurt there's a lot of girls out there felix don't be dissapointed" I said.
"But I can get her after they are not yet married" he said.
"You're serious? You can't do that felix you are destroying other relationships" I said to remind him.
"Yes I can Elysse, soon"
My hair on the arms suddenly rose he was very serious and I feel like I want to leave him alone here. Fortunately the food arrived and I feel relief.
"Lets eat!" I said it with my lips are widely curved.
"How about you do you have a boyfriend?" He asked too.
"I don't know" I directly answer him
"Why? Did you two fight?"
"I'm not in a relationship felix"
"I feel like you're lying" he said while not looking at me.
"If that's what you've think" I said.
I couldn't eat well because of his serious questions and I have a strange feeling about felix's actions.
After our dinner he sent me home but before leaving he ask a favor to me that can't get out of my mind.
"Please be my girlfriend Elysse I know that it is way too fast and pressuring you but please be mine" he said.
"Felix I can only give you love for friendship not more than that"
He left in front of me sadly.
"I'm sorry felix" I whispered in the air.
When I entered the apartment it was dark and I did not continue to enter I turn on my phone and see if Jade texted me.
Jade:
I wasn't at home Elysse I did some research so I couldn't sleep there.
She could just turn the lights on did I not tell her that I was afraid of the dark.
Suddenly the lights on and I saw him standing in front of the apartment entrance without any tshirt.
"R-Reagan?"
Without thinking twice I ran towards him ang hug him I don't know what happen to me but I really just miss him.
