You Again [FreenBecky]

Chapter 26

Christmas was two weeks ago.

And two weeks ago was the last time I talked to or saw Freen.

I'd say I was relaxed and comfortable but those fourteen days were the absolute worst. After she gifted me the apartment, we headed straight to her place and opened the Christmas presents. I got Freen a new denim jacket which she loved immensely and pearl earrings for Marissa. Those two wouldn't stop thanking me but still I wouldn't stop thinking about how much Freen actually spent on me. But the conversation with Freen where I wanted to ask her to choose was never brought up. I still hadn't talked about our relationship.

Freen didn't call or text. Maybe she decided to accept our terms of keeping the distance which we formerly discussed but whatever it was, I was dying to see her. Although, Marissa and I kept in touch and Faye also officially moved in with Freen. Song and Faye actually kept their mouths shut in front of everyone, I missed them all. Anda came around often, since I was living with Lookkaew again, Anda and Lookkaew made sure to indulge me in their conversations and plans and the oldest of the two also second her girlfriend; she asked me to pressure Freen into choosing.

Two weeks ago was the last time I talked to Billy as well. He called a couple times but I didn't pick up the call. This time he was genuinely sorry but I was not going to forgive him for his behavior. On the New Year's Eve, I actually saw him. Lookkaew and Anda escorted me to my place where I packed my stuff. I made sure to take everything. Billy was heartbroken but I couldn't even look at him without becoming angry so in absolute silence, the three of us headed out. I was leaving Billy very soon anyway.

The three of us then went to my new apartment. Anda already knew about the plan so she wasn't surprised but Lookkaew? Well, let's just say she was kind of very shocked to see what Freen gave me. She couldn't believe it. The three of us hung out in that place for a couple of minutes but I still moved back in with Lookkaew. It still didn't feel right to stay there. And I knew I wouldn't stay there if Freen wouldn't be with me. And it was all too much to accept. However, those two weeks were the absolute worst without her and I couldn't do anything to meet her again.

Our normal life routines were again started. Lookkaew and I went back to our offices and worked our asses off for the new issue for January which was always the hardest one. We didn't even have a second to breathe and eat something. Almost every night I came home exhausted. My time with Allison was reduced, she spent more time with Anda than me. The older girl was in love with the little toddler and they did everything together. I missed my daughter but what could I do? My work was necessary to give her a better life. The only time when I actually see her were the mornings and it sucked.

Today was the first Friday of the new year. I was so glad that the week finally ended, I couldn't actually take another day of working so much. Lookkaew and I packed our things in the office and moved out of the cabins, only to find the empty corridors. It was already ten by the time we were free. It had been that way since the past two weeks. I took a deep breath and got inside the elevator along with Lookkaew and we moved down in a complete silence. She drove to our place and we picked some takeouts from the pizza parlor. I was dead tired.

And then my cellphone started to ring. I lazily took it out of my bag, knowing that it would be someone from my office but when I saw the caller ID, I couldn't believe it. It was Freen. She finally decided to call me. As Lookkaew parked the car and we moved out of it, I picked up the call while moving upstairs to my home now.

Becky: Hi.

Freen: Hey! How are you?

Her voice. Oh god, her voice sounded so good. I almost melted but then the elevator's door opened and we moved inside it and shortly began moving up.
