Perhaps Love

Chapter 5

Francesca's Apartment

I'm having my early morning routine. Well I do have my early morning routine if I'm off. I resigned from my 3rd job, my job every weekend. As the Pub needs people every weekend. So now I'm able to have off. Unlike when I had 3 jobs in a week hahaha. I can only took half a day off. I sighed, now I can have a whole day off.

I'm sipping my coffee when I saw Brenda came out from her room.

"Oh! Good morning my friend!" then she sat on the sofa across mine.

"Good morning too dear." I greeted her with a smile. "Coffee?" I offered.

"Oh, yeah please I'm still lazy to make." And she yawned. I stand up and go to kitchen to make her coffee. Maybe she sleep so late again last night. She's a novelist.

"You stayed up so late last night?" I gave the coffee to her and sit again.

"Yeah, I need to finish my story before I forgot what I should write on that novel." She sipped her coffee. "Hmmmm the best coffee in the morning so far."

I smiled, "Crazy," She put her feet on our mini table. "So how's your night? It's so good to have an off day after a busy night right?"

She's right. It is really nice. "Well last night was the busiest night we ever had. But we handled it very well."

"Good to hear that, it's been a long time since I went there." I curved a mischievous smile at her. She saw it.

"Oh stop that Fran!" Hahahaha I laughed. I know why she stops going there, it's because of Steven Kang. He was her well how should I describe their relationship? Hmmmmm high school lovers? Hahahah. But it didn't go well that's why they've got separated before their graduation. After that they hated each other. Well Brenda hated him so much. I don't the side of Steven.

He's the reason also why she became a novelist. I only know that the guy who broke her heart was Steven when she stopped going in our Pub.

"It's been a long time ago, I think ages. You still not move on?" I'm teasing her.

And she throw our sofa pillow on me, good thing I wasn't drinking my coffee.

"Shut up! Of course I already did." And she rolled her eyes. "And for sure he was also or maybe he won't remember me at all. Remember he's a womanizer, 100% womanizer feeling like he's a Casanova, char! Ganern (with a British accent)"

I always say char, ganern (it's a Filipino word) though I didn't grow up in my original home country I still learned some of few Filipino words. Because of my parents.

"Come to think of it, how small world it is right?" suddenly she told me. Yeah it was indeed a really small world.

"He is the friend of your sister's boyfriend's brother, hahaha"

"Correction, not just a friend but a cousin too, which I wondered why you didn't know that?" I suspiciously look at her.

"Are you dumb?"

"Excuse me?" I glared at her.

"Didn't I tell you that our story did not come out? I mean it's like a secret relationship. Because he just used me." I saw sadness in her eyes. She's still hurt.

"Oh, I'm sorry it slipped on my mind."

She looked at our wall clock. "Didn't you mention yesterday, it's Benedict's birthday today and he invited you tonight for that?"
