Primrose

A sigh escaped from my lips before I slowly closed the door behind me.

"You don't have any work?" I asked as I sat on my swivel chair.

Loey glanced at me before returning his attention to the screen of his phone. "I still have two hours before my schedule. Don't mind me, Primrose. I'll just stay here."

Shaking my head, I didn't say anything and just focused on my work.

It has been three days since Loey confessed. Three days since he told me that he wanted our relationship to be real. I was speechless. I didn't know what to say. Yet, he was fine with my silence. He said he'll give me time to think about it first before giving him an answer. 

To be honest, I felt guilty when Loey even said that if I still want to pursue a divorce in the future, he'll understand.

After that, he didn't open the topic again. I also calmed down with the Karlin stuff. After avoiding him for two days, I've cleared my thoughts a bit. Still, I won't deny the fact that my blood was boiling whenever I remember that girl. I'm just happy and satisfied hearing Loey's side. For three days, he's been making more time and effort to be by my side. To make me feel secured. Maybe to show me that he's sincere with what he told me.

"I have to go."

My eyes flickered on my wristwatch before looking at him. "I thought you had two hours. It's only been an hour."

He stood and walked closer to me, stopping in front of the working desk. "Our leader messaged me. There are some changes that we all need to discuss."

"Oh." I cleared my throat when I sounded down that made him grin. "Okay. You should go now. I also have a meeting in thirty minutes."

I tried to avert my gaze but my body stiffened when he leaned forward and put his forehead on mine with his eyes shut, just like what he did the other day.

"I hope my presence is not pressuring you or something. Primrose, I want to take things slowly. When I said that I want us to work out, I mean it. Karlin is in the past and I want it to remain in the past. While you are my present and hopefully my future. Still, I'll just be here, okay? Take your time."

A smile broke into his face before he opened his eyes. My heart pounded when our eyes met.

Hindi ko namalayan na hindi na pala ako halos humihinga. Para akong umahon sa isang pool nang lumayo si Loey sa akin na may ngiti pa rin sa labi.

"See you at home!"

Bago pa ako makapagsalita ay mabilis siyang tumalikod at iniwan ako. Without even realizing it, my lips stretched into a smile. Kahit sa meeting ay halos nakangiti lang ako. Napapasulyap sina Ate Alice rin sa akin kasi kahit na hindi gaano maganda ang balita ay ganoon pa rin ako.

I know, I look crazy. But what can I do? Loey has that power in me.

I let out a groan before I stood and stretched a bit. My body was a bit tensed due to sitting the entire time. Kapag may meeting lang yata ako nakakatayo at nakakagalaw. 

Napalingon ako sa pinto nang may kumatok.

"Come in!"

Dredleigh entered the room carefully while carrying an iced-americano. I smiled at him and gestured to sit down.

"Hi, Prim."

"Hi! Break time?" 

He nodded before handing me the iced-americano. "For you. Loey was the one who ordered that. He couldn't come because he needs to discuss something with Leigh about some arrangement of the song we're going to perform."
