Contract Agreement With My Bestfriend

Chapter 61: Sister I Wish I Had

Olivia POV

It's been a week since I got back in New york.

I ended up spending New year away from my family.

I haven't heard anything from Sarah since our last conversation.

"Sorry about this Via.. I know there are other places you would rather be right now." Ivan said while offering me a cup of coffee.

"Thanks for the coffee." I replied.

"Is Sarah okay with this?" He asked curiously.

We are pretending to have some romantic date right now.

"We aren't really talking so I don't know.." I said honestly.

"You two fought or something? Does this have something to do with you being back so early?"

"You said it yourself that Sarah won't be able to make me truly happy. That she could hurt me all over again. Now that she has her memories back, all the more chances of that happening. I should have listen to you." I said.

"Sorry Via.." he replied sympathetically.

I  awkwardly chuckle without any humor.

"Isn't this what you've been waiting for? Don't pretend like you're not happy now." 

He tap my back in a friendly gesture.

"I know I've been too much of a jerk lately but never have I wish to see you unhappy. I mean it Via, I want to repair our relationship and I'll respect whatever you want." He said.

"I guess this is my karma for hurting you." I said in a low voice.

He held my cheek and we made eye contact.

"Via don't think of it that way. You were not happy with me anymore and I just didn't want to accept it. But as your friend, I want you to know that making you happy is all I want." He said sincerely.

"Thanks Ivan.. I want the same for you. I am glad to still have you as a friend." I replied hugging him.

I felt great comfort in knowing that Ivan and I can actually talk like how we use to. Our relationship is slowly but genuinely mending.

"We don't have to wait until the movie ends. We can just tell people now that we decided to be friends. I know it may be unpleasant for some to hear the news but.. I think we can get through it together. We are not the first celebrity couple to break up. It will eventually get better." He mentioned.

"A lot of people will be pissed. I don't know if doing that is going to be a good choice at all." I told him.

"Whenever you're ready.." he said smiling.

After a few hours, I went back to rest at my house.

I sat comfortably at my sofa.

I got a call from my mom.

"Hello sweety, I'm glad you pick up. How have you been doing?" She spoke softly over the phone.

"Oh I'm good mom, how are you?" I asked her as well.

"I'm good too. Actually I just want to ask you something.. a little personal." 

I frowned a bit worrying about what she wanted to know.

"Sure, what is it mom?" I asked.

"I can't help but wonder about you and Sarah. Is everything okay?" She asked worriedly.

What did Sarah say?
