Two days have passed since Ken told me about Britney’s pregnancy. I didn’t talk about it to Britney, I wanted her to trust me and tell me herself. I was a bit disappointed she didn’t trust me enough to tell me about her pregnancy but it was her choice and I had to respect it.
I haven’t talk to Ken since then and God, how I missed him! I gave grown attached to him these past few days. I couldn’t keep him out of my mind but I know I had to. Ken would never be mine and I had to get over him. It always brought tears to my eyes thinking about it. But today I had decided I had enough of lying in bed all day. I had to be strong and move on. Ken wasn’t the last man on earth anyway! Mark! I had been thinking about him also. He had given me time to think about his confession and never told me anything since then. He was a really sweet guy and don’t forget very handsome! I was comfortable with him and he knew how to cheer me up. What was there to lose? I should give him a chance and at the same time it’ll keep my mind away from Ken for awhile. I grabbed my phone and dialed. He answered after the third ring
“Hello.”
“Hey Mark! Miya here, how are you doing?”
“Miya hey! Nothing much, just hanging out with some friends. What about you?”
“Nothing much...Eum Mark about what you said the other time...” I trailed off.
“What about it?” I took a deep breath “Well I was thinking that we could give it a try.”
“Oh really? I’m so happy you accepted to give it a try Miya.” He sounded really happy. “What about we could meet up for lunch?” I asked.
“Sounds good, in two hours at Lora’s place?”
“Okay I’ll meet you there then.”
“Okay bye, see you”
“Bye.” And he disconnected the phone.
Two hours later I was ready to meet up with Mark. I wore a yellow sundress which reached till my knee and white heels which weren’t too high. My hair was up in a ponytail and I had some pink lipstick on. I grabbed my purse and walked out of the mansion. Lora’s place wasn’t too far from there so I walked casually till I reached my destination. Mark was already waiting for me outside and he kissed me on the cheeks when I reached him. “Hey” I said and smiled at him. “Let’s go in.” He said taking my hand and led me inside to a table near the window. We ordered a large Hawaiian pizza. “So what’s up?” He asked “Nothing much, just tired because of the wedding’s preparation. What about you?”
“Same here also.” He said and just then the waiter came with our pizza. Not wasting time, I dig in not bothering to take the fork. I looked up to see Mark staring at me with an amused expression. “What? Pizza is better when you eat it with your bare hands.” I said and continue to eat. “You should try it!”
“I don’t think that’s a good idea.” He said taking his fork.
“Come on you’ll see it taste more delicious when you eat it with your hands.” I said and showed him how to do it. He listened to my instructions and took the pizza slice in his hands putting it in his mouth starting from the pointed part. “So? What do you think?” he frowned at first and I began to think that maybe he didn’t like it that way but after a while he smiled warmly “You were right! It’s delicious I must do it more often!” He said and continued eating his pizza. He had some tomato sauce at the corner of his lips. “Eum you have sauce here...let me wipe it.” I said and reached across the table wiping the sauce with a napkin. His black eyes met mine. His eyes were beautiful and warm but Ken’s were much more mesmerizing. I sat back in my seat. Damn! I was here to try to forget him and I was comparing Mark to him. Focus Miya!
We finished our meal and paid the addition. Mark offered to walk me home. We were chatting while walking when a black Audi parked beside us and it was none other than Ken. He rolled the windows and popped his head out “Hey! Where are you two going?” he asked. “I was walking Miya back home.” Mark replied. “Climb in I’ll drop you I was going there also.” He said and we got in. It was just a two minutes ride.
Ken spent the rest of the day with Britney and my aunt and I stayed as far away from him as possible. Mark was keeping me accompany as he also was bored in this wedding things. He was a very good friend but will I ever be able to look at him in the other way? I wasn’t sure.
I was walking to my room when I saw Ken in the hallway staring at a picture on the wall. It was a photo of me and Britney when we were younger. Noticing me, he looked at me with those beautiful eyes that I missed so much. “Is that you on the picture?” He asked. I was hesitant “Yeah it’s me and Britney when we were younger.” His eyes widened with surprise. “So it was you.” Was it a statement or a question? I wasn’t sure. “What?” I asked confused. “It was you at the park. You were the girl I kissed.” That was when I understood what he meant! Yeah he was the boy who stole my first kiss in the park years ago. I didn’t tell him because it would have made things even more complicated that they already are. I didn’t think that would make any difference but judging by the look he was giving me I assume it mattered for him. I fell in love with him the moment he first kissed me but did he also? I was hoping he did! I was going to reply when Mark walked in.
“Hey bro, time to go!” he said and turned to me “I had a good time with you today Miya. I hope we can do it once again.” He said and unexpectedly he gave me a peck on my lips. His lips were soft but Ken’s kisses were better in my opinion! I blushed and looked at Ken. He wasn’t pleased, I could see it! His eyes were dark but he kept a straight face. “Let’s go Mark.” He said and walked pass me not even saying goodbye. How rude! Minutes ago he was looking at me with warm eyes and now he didn’t even look at me. Was it because of Mark? It definitely was.
