Three Perfect Days

Chapter 13

Reality hits me.

Paolo.

I have Paolo. Well I don't have Paolo as in have but we have something.

And Luke. He is my boss. I'm just his maid. His fake maid. He belongs to my fake world. But I feel something towards him. I like him. A lot. (Like Paolo?)

I look at Luke and move off from his lap. "Just a minute." And I walk out off the room.

I take a deep breath, "Paolo how are you?"

"Not good." I hear him sigh

"Why? What is the problem?"

"I miss you Anya. I miss you so much. That's why I'm not good."

My heart race as he say those words. He always make my heart race with simple words (Luke can also make your heart race).

"But I guess you don't miss me."

He sounds hurt but I know he's just pretending it. I know him very well.

"Tsk. You're such a baby. I'm just busy."

"I'm ok if you call me baby as long as I'm your baby."

I smile with that. I miss Paolo. I miss everything about Paolo.

I'm about to say something when I see Luke looking at me. And I feel like I'm caught cheating or something.

"Anya?"

"Oh sorry Pao. My boss is calling me. I need to go."

"He's already calling you? Anya can you stop that maid thing? I have a feeling that he's taking you away from me?"

"Who?" I ask

"Your boss. Anya I don't like this."

"Pao he's my boss. He didn't even like me." I lie.

It's hurts me that I'm lying to Pao. He's special to me.

"Sorry. I'm just afraid that I will lose you. Even the idea hurts me. I love you Anya. You know how much I love you. How much you mean to me."

I want to run to him now and hug him but something is stopping me from doing that. I look at Luke who is not even making any movement.

Yeah. Definitely he is that 'something'.

"You will never lose me Pao. I promise."

"Okay. Take care Anya."

"You too. See you soon." And I end the call.

I walk towards Luke who is leaning at the door in a sexy way.

"Who is that?" He asks

I want to wrap my arms around him and kiss him but I can't. If I do that it will just make my heart crazy.

This thing between Luke and me is part of my fake life. Nothing is real with this. It's just hormones.

"Just a friend." Then I walked pass him.

I need to put some space between The two of us.

-Luke-

I want to drag her and kiss her senseless until she tell me what is wrong.

After that phone call she become distant. She never looks at me. Whenever I try to talk to her, she says nothing then she will give me a smile to assure me that nothing is wrong.

I hate it. Every part of me is missing her. I want her eyes on me, only me.

I need to know what is wrong and fix it before I lose my mind.

I approach her, "Anika can I talk to you."

She didn't say anything. She just nod.

We went to the shore. I take a deep breath and,

"Let's end this."

What?!

I look at her. Her face looks blank.

"Let's end this Luke. This thing between you and me. Please. Let's just pretend nothing happened." she said

I want to shout at her. I want to get mad at her. I want to. . . I want to. . . I want to hug her and kiss her.

"Why?" I ask

That's all I can ask. That's all I can say.

"Let's just end this. Please."

"Just end this? Is that easy for you to end this?"

She didn't answer. She looks at her feet and say nothing.

"Ok. Let's end whatever is this." I said and I walked away.

I feel like I need to punch something or do anything stupid. I hate this. Those feelings. Fvcking feeling.

I need a drink. I need a fvcking drink.

"Bro I've been looking for you."

I look at Miggy and give him a bottle of beer.

"What is your problem? Why are you drinking like a broken-hearted boy?"

And it dawn him.

"Sh!t!"

"Your right. Sh!t!" I said bitterly

"What happened? The last time I saw the two of you, you are making out in the kitchen and now this?"

"I don't know what is the problem bro. After that phone call she became distant. Fvck bro everything that is happening make me feel sh!t."

He will say something but I stop him.

"I fvcking I love her."
