<Blair, present>
Damn it, out of all times I had to see him here. Eloise and Theo are not aware, I better move with them. "Blair, are you okay, you look a little pale." Eloise asked, grabbing onto my arm.

"I'm fine, can we move upfront, there's a gap." I said. I hoped that we can move, I hoped i didn't need to meet him.

"Blair...?" That same voice rang in my ear.

I didn't want to turn around so I just pushed them with me to move. "Wait, I know it's you Blair!" I could feel him getting closer, his voice getting louder. He grabbed my wrist and spun me around.

I turned and I saw him. He looked no different, the same old hair and face, but he looked more... tired. His first panicked face lightened to a relaxed face. He smiled at me but I couldn't smile back.

"Greg...let go of my hand." I sighed, pushing his hand off my arm.

"Ah...sorry." he let go of my arm and took a step back. I could see Theo and Eloise staring at me, concern written all over their faces. "Hey, I gotta go."

"W-Wait, can we talk, I really feel that I need to talk to you." he said. I hesitated, I didn't want to listen but I'm moving, if I don't listen now, I will never know. I nodded and his face seemed to light up slightly.

"Theo, tell my dad I am at the cafe there." he nodded.

"So...how have you been?" he asked.

"Please get to the point."

"The party was my mistake for not inviting you, but you always said no." he started .

My fault?

"Well, I would have said no but wasn't it your responsibility to stay loyal? If this is how you have been thinking about the situation, I will take my leave." I can't believe he just said that. I stood up from my seat but he grabbed my hand.

I glared at him but I gave into his pleading face. "I know I shouldn't have done it and I am truly sorry. I really wish that you can forgive me, that's all I ask for. I have not been in a relationship in the past 6 months, I'm trying to repent."

I can't bring myself to forgive him, he did me wrong so many times. The more I look at him, the more I remember how hurt I was. I'm still hesitating. Just then, I heard someone call my name.

"Blair."

His voice was so deep, it sounded almost melodic.

What are you thinking about, Blair? Focus!

I felt his warm presence behind me as he held the sides of my chair. "It was taking a little long and I was a little...worried." he furrowed his brows as he made eye contact with Greg.

"Who is this?" Greg  asked. I could hear a slight annoyance in his voice.

Theo exchanged glances with him but I couldn't catch what he wanted to convey. Before I could respond, Theo responded.

"I am a close friend." he emphasised.

I could feel my face heating up, I mean it took me by surprise.

Greg grimace and I could see the smirk forming on Theo's face. "Well if you will excuse us, we have a flight to catch."

That was hot.
