The Write Thing

Chapter 23

It has been three days and somehow I'm being able to get through my anxiety from what happened that night. That incident causes trauma that I know would affect me in some ways. The process wasn't easy for sure. But if there's something I can't get over with until this moment, is the feeling that's evoking me everytime Rafa would comes out my head.

That guy has become the reason behind my sleeping trouble these past few days. It was the first time I get hug by a guy. But sure that's not supposed to be a big of deal. It was just a hug, and I don't know why I can't slip that thought out my head. No matter how hard I try, it keeps flashing in my head. Weird how I could still feel the warmth that moment I was in his arms. Which is insane.

"Grey looks effortlessly cool."

My attention drew over Bea who's been looking down her phone for I don't know how long. The look in her eyes shows a clear sign she's been daydreaming again. Which isn't a new thing to me anymore.

"I think I'm in love." My eyes squinted real quick as I stroll infront of her.

"In love?" I asked but she continued daydreaming with her phone. "How do you know if you are in love with someone?" My sudden question made her brought back to the present like it was a magic word

My face scrunched up when he looked at me with his brow raised. "Are you in love?"

"What the heck? No! I was just asking, since people making it some kind of a deal. I don't even have any idea what and how it feels." I interjected and she rolls her eyes.

"Come on, don't be silly, Lorraine. Love is such a broad term for almost everything in the world. It comes in different ways and aspects. But if we're talking about romantic love, that's another story to tell." She said as she slid her phone to her pocket. "You know that feeling like your world revolves around that person? Or even worse than that."

I stare at her for few seconds before letting out a huge sigh. "Bea, I've never been in love in my life. I mean, maybe not in a way we're supposed to feel for someone in particular. But I know the difference between in love and just simply loving someone. We can love anyone but we can't be in love with everyone or anything. That's a complete different thing."

"Ohhh... Look at the expert now." She chuckle and I just shake my head.

That only gives me more headache. Don't even remember what's with the sudden question.

I shrugged everything and shove all the thoughts at the back of my head and just pay attention to my work. I can't be stressed as much I am already. I have to gather myself to be able to to work on properly.

My day had went by almost the same thing as everyday. Taking orders, serving people but a lot more compose this time. Which is really the best thing to do for someone who gets paid by doing the service she would have to give.

"Good day, what's your-" I was unable to finish my words when I realize it's Grey standing infront of me.

He gave me big smile but I didn't return the gesture when I noticed the girl beside him.

"I'll just get your order. You can have a seat." He said to the girl who looked at me with a serious face before strolling to an empty seat.

"Hey, that's not the same girl you're with the last time." I spoke as soon as I bring my eyes back at Grey. I even attempted to take a quick glance at the girl but received the rolling of her eyes in return.

"Oh are you talking about Margot?" I raised him an eyebrow.

"How the heck would I know?"

"Maybe Jane, or was it Chelsey? Probably Mirna." My mouth went agape in disbelief the whole time he was talking about girls like it is a thing.
