Gigi's POV
I stood by the bar in my restaurant, putting some drinks into an order, just so I could finish the bill and bring it to the table.
There were only a few tables here and I was counting the minutes till they leave so i could close this place and go home. I was tired, I've been doing nothing but working these past days, Justin hasn't talked to me, I haven't reached out either. I think that, after our kiss, we both telepathically agreed to give each other space.
Things would be awkward if we just kept hanging out as if nothing happened. I can feel the tension just by imagining such scenario.
However... I'd never admit this to anyone, but sometimes, when I'm laying down in bed, before falling asleep, I can't help but think about it. I hate myself for it, but it's become a daily habit, I can't fall asleep without thinking about it.
My phone vibrated inside my apron as I got a text, and I looked down to read the name of the person texting me.
Justin: Im sorry
Wow, did I manifest him?
I let out a deep breath and began thinking about what should I reply.
"Excuse me m'am. We're ready to pay." Someone at the counter said.
I plastered a smile on my face and went on to attend the customer. He payed his bill and soon left. I walked over the dirty table and quickly cleaned it, still thinking about coming up with a reply to Justin.
I wasn't sure if I should just dismiss it and say it's fine, or actually address the situation. To be honest, Ive gotten used to him always being there, wether that he just over text, I don't want to make things complicated. Plus... I kinda missed him.
I just wonder... Did he get the wrong hint? Did I send missed signals to him or something, that made him think he could kiss me?
I took a deep breath and took my phone out to reply.
Gigi: it's fine
Justin: ... is it? say what you truly think
I stared at the screen and pondered on wether I should speak what's really on my mind or just dismiss this and remain unfazed.
Justin: I like being friends with you I don't want things to become awkward or for you to become distant and give me the cold treatment again
Gigi: why would you kiss me then? If you don't want things to be awkward
Justin: I don't know! You were teasing me I just wanted to shut you up i guess but Im sorry
