The Best Man

Chapter 35

Lying in my bed, I thought of the things that happened today. The tears suddenly flow from my eyes again. When will I stop shedding tears for you Jonas? I should not be feeling this way. I should not let you in my life again.

I erased my thoughts of him. I went to take a shower and went to my hot tub. This warm water soothes me, relaxes me from the tension I have encountered this day.

I spent an hour at the tub, and if only I could sleep here, I will. I felt my stomach, and is telling me that I have to eat already. It's growling, really. I haven't eaten my lunch, I just ate some of the salad and nothing more.

I dried myself up and wore my PJ's and went to the kitchen. As usual Manang Luisa is there, cooking is already done.

"Ella, you hungry already? I'll get some food for you."

"Yes Manang, thank you," is all I managed to say.

"Is something bothering you?," she asked.

"Nothing, Manang," I faked a smile.

"Okay, whatever it is, whenever you're ready to tell me, just approach me okay?", I don't want seeing you like that." She continued.

I ate greedily with the seafood casserole she made. This is really a sumptuous meal for me, partnered with my favorite homemade iced tea. I finished it all up, and cleaned the plates. I hurried to my room to sleep.

Knock. Knock.

I opened the door and Manang Luisa handed me my glass of milk. "You never fail with this," I got the glass of milk from her.

"Of course," she smiled at me and kissed me good night.

I opened my laptop and want to know if Trish is on line.

** LovelyTrish: OFFLINE.

Sad. She's off line. I closed my laptop and just sent her a text message.

 

To: Trish-best

 

**Babes, He's back. **

 

Message sent!

Still no reply from Trish. Maybe she's busy, or she's already asleep, I thought.

I kept on stirring on my bed, I can't sleep.  It was about two o'clock in the morning when I really fell asleep.
