A Love Like Water

Chapter 25 - Duty Calls

- Sam's POV -

It is Monday and Becky and I are going back to work..

I intentionally arrive in the shop earlier than my usual time because I want to talk to Becky to apologize for what happened the other night..

I was twisting and turning on my bed last night because I kept on thinking about her. We haven't talked with each other after what happened, not even a single text message. I told her to message me once she got home, but she didn't do it at all.

I still feel bad and guilty. But what can I do if other people badly needs my help? :(

When Becky kissed me, I did kissed her back. I hope that she felt that I wanted that kiss too.. 

Even if I know that I'm entering a danger zone.

That thing we did there will surely affect whatever relationship we have right now..

I sit on the pavement as I drink the coffee that I bought earlier as I wait for Becky to arrive. I also bought one for her. I hope this will somehow help the expected awkwardness between us once we see each other today.

Becky gave me a duplicate key of the shop before in case I arrive earlier than her. But I don't want to go in yet. I want to see her so I can immediately make up with her.

I am wriggling my feet on the ground as I patiently wait for her..

When I heard a notification from my phone so I took it from my pocket to see who it was..

- Becky -

7:30am : "I won't be able to come to the shop today, Sam. I'm not feeling well." Becky said in her message to me. I immediately got worried, its all my fault.

I hurt her. Now she doesn't want to see me. But I want to see her. I want to apologize for being an asshole.

7:31am : "I'm sorry Becky. Okay, get well the soonest please." I replied.

Instead of opening the shop today, I left and went straight to a milk tea shop.

Fuck work, I only applied here to get to know Becky. Now I ruined everything and I want to fix things between us. I'm not saying we'll be lovers, but maybe someday.. I don't know, that's complicated. But right now I just want to apologize and I hope the awkwardness between us will go away.

I bought her milk tea and pad thai and chicken curry and a lot more foods.

What if she's really sick and cannot cook for herself? So I bought a lot hoping she would eat them. Please..

After buying foods for her, I arrived in front of the condo building where she lives.

Again, I felt this familiar feeling when I stood in front of the lobby..

Why does it feel like this?

I started to walk towards the information booth in the lobby.

"Umm. Where is Ms. Rebecca Chankimha's flat?" I nervously asked the information booth lady.

The lady's eyes widen in shock from the information booth when she saw me as if she has seen a ghost.

"Ms. Fr- -e-e, s--seven--teenth fl-oor." She stuttered. So weird. I didn't get the first word that she said but I got the floor number and that's all that matters.

"Thanks!" I said and started to walk towards the elevators.

*sigh*

I'm nervous..
