Cycle Of Love Series #5: Love and Crosses

"Where on earth is that sound coming from?!"

Irritation woke me up when I heard a ringing sound. I couldn't see where's the sound coming from because my eyes were closed so the only thing I can do is to blindly get my phone to check if that's making the annoying sound.

And . . . I was right. Someone's calling. But, I'm too lazy to see who's calling so I just answered it. Baka emergency kasi.

"Hello? Who am I speaking to?"

"Good morning, Zye. It seems like I woke you up from your sleep." His low voice was familiar but I didn't minded it.

"Okay . . . Just tell me who you are and what do you need, please."

"I'm here to explain why I'm not there on your special day . . ." The voice I was hearing suddenly switched to a soft voice so I got alerted. It even became my cue to check who's calling and my eyes widened in shock to see who it is.

"What the hell, Andrius?!"

"How did you know my number?!"

I heard his chuckle on the line. "I can sense that you're awake now."

"What do you want?!"

"I'm glad that you asked that, huh. I thought you'll be hanging up immediately if you know I was calling."

That made me realize that what I should be doing right now. Why didn't I hang up?! "Right. Silly me. Why would I ask what do you want when I already knew what is it?" I responded. "If you want to explain, no! Take that explanation of yours and go to your house and fix your problem. I don't care what it is, just fix it!"

"Ashandria . . . If you would just liste-" Before he could complete his sentence, I already pressed the hang up button and bring back the phone on the night stand.

"Explain your face. I don't need it," I told myself, looking at my phone on the night stand.
