Loving You, Feels Wrong. (Freen x Becky x Billy)

Chapter 17

The next couple of days felt like torture. Freen would wake up and check her phone for any messages from Becky and find none.

And every time her phone buzzed, a flicker of hope would rise within her, wanting it to be Becky, and more so, wanting it to be a hopeful Becky. And not a Becky who had given up on them completely.

She tried to keep herself distracted. When she wasn’t house hunting, she was catching up with her friends. She spent a day at Khun Mae's too, it felt good to be back home and in the company of everyone she loved.

But there was a hollowness in her heart, and she knew why. That hollowness would only be filled when she was sure Becky wasn’t mad at her anymore, or would give her a chance for them to try being friends in the least.

It was Thursday. 4 days had past since she last saw Becky, heard her voice, reveled in her presence again. And the more time passed, the more she feared Becky was coming up with reasons for them to lose any semblance of a relationship.

Freen met up with her agent. She’d been house-hunting since Monday, she was desperate to find a place again, she couldn't be living out of a hotel room any longer. Noey had given her this agent's name and contact and the woman was quite friendly and seemed to understand Freen's requirements.

Just as they were walking out of one of the apartments she’d just seen, her phone began to ring.

BECKY. She quickly picked up.

“Becky? Hey!” Freen answered quickly.

“Freen, Hi…” Becky said, calmly.

“Maybe we should stop somewhere for lunch before going to a new place?” The agent spoke to Freen, not realizing she was on a phone call.

“Sorry, uh, you have company, I can call later…” Becky said, sounding a little nervous suddenly.

“Uh no, ummm, I’m just house-hunting. That was my agent, P'Beer.” Freen rushed to explain, hoping Becky wasn’t jumping to any kind of conclusions.

“Oh, okay.” Becky said.

“How are you?” Freen asked, she wanted to keep the conversation going, and that was the first thing she thought to ask, even though she knew she’d seen Becky's just a couple of days ago, and with the way they left things, Becky was probably not in the best of moods. It was a ridiculous question to ask.

“I’m fine… uh… listen I was thinking, we should catch up. To talk.”

“Ka! Umm… are you free today?” Freen asked.

“I’m at work right now, but I should get done by 6 pm.” Becky said.

“Alright, do you want to get something to eat or something?” Freen asked carefully.

“Let’s just go for a walk?” Becky replied.

“Ka, sure. That works.” Freen said with a smile.

Becky was letting her in. This was Becky letting her in right?

“If we get hungry we can always stop for a bite somewhere,” Becky said.

“Ka, that sounds good to me.”

“Ka.” Becky replied and then there was an awkward silence.

“I’ll come pick you up at 6?” Becky asked.

“Oh no, there’s no need. I’m going to be out all day looking at places, so I’ll be below your office building by 6.”

“Alright, I’ll see you then.” Becky said.
