JUST ONE MORE CHANCE

chapter 19

BECKY'S POV

I woke up, stretching my hand out across the bed, only to find the space beside me empty. My eyes opened slowly, adjusting to the morning light filtering through the curtains, and I felt that brief pang of disappointment. Freen wasn’t there beside me.

But then, I noticed a small piece of paper on her pillow, with my name written in her familiar handwriting. I reached for it, my grogginess fading as I held the note, unfolding it with a slight smile already forming.

"Good morning, love. I'm sorry for not being there when you wake up. I just need to do some important tasks. So I had to leave early. I didn’t want to wake you up—you looked too peaceful, and I thought you could use a bit more sleep. Eat your breakfast on time okay? I'll meet you in university. I love you. Bye!!"

I smiled, imagining her sneaking out of bed, trying to be as quiet as possible. She always thought of these little things, making sure I’d wake up with a warm, comforting start to my day, even if she couldn’t be there.

I lay back against the pillows, reading her words once more, feeling that familiar warmth and love bloom in my chest. Knowing I'll see her soon, I closed my eyes, letting her message linger with me, already looking forward to see her.

I took my phone and texted her a 'Good morning and I love you'. Then I started getting ready for university.

As I was making my way across the campus towards my classroom, excited to see my baby. But as I approached, I saw her talking with someone else—a girl I recognized...

Nita. Wtf!

I stopped on my way. What the hell are they doing together!!

Freen's back was facing me so she could see me but that bitch saw me and smirked at me. Freen noticed her expressions and turned around. She was shocked to see me there. She gulped nervously and was about to walk towards me but I quickly turned to the other side and started walking as quick as possible.

I went straight into the classroom, without looking at anyone and sat down on my seat, keeping my head down. My blood is boiling with jealousy. I'm sure Freen knows that bitch has feelings for her and still she is talking to her.

I looked up to check around the room but she is still not here. Wow just wow!
And my other friends are also not here yet. I sighed heavily and put my head down again.

After like 3 minutes, she came into the class and sat beside me. I can feel she is staring at me but I didn't look at her. I'm so so mad at her. I'll not talk to her for sure.

"Hey love." She said softly, placing her hand over mine,"Are you mad?"

I removed her hand and turned my face to the other side. Then she cupped my cheeks with both of her hands, forcing me to look at her but I avoided looking at her eyes.

"I'm sorry okay? She suddenly came infront of me, asking me to talk to her." She said calmly.

"And you just agreed to talk to her?" I said this time looking directly into her eyes.

"I really didn't want to talk but she was being so stubborn."

"You know very well she has feelings for you. Haven't you ever noticed how she looks at you? I hate it so much!" I said, trying to remove her hands and look away again.

But she refused to let me turn away and said,"I know baby. But please let me tell you the whole story."

"I don't wanna listen anything. You even saw me walking away but you didn't even try to stop me or come behind me. You stayed there with her." I said. My eyes are getting teary with anger and sadness.

"I'm so sorry baby. I stayed there so I could tell her about us and make things clear." She said caressing my cheeks. Her voice is low and gentle.

"Huh? What did you tell her?" I ask her.

"When I was walking towards the classroom she suddenly came infront of me and said she wanted to talk to me. But when I refused to talk she literally started begging. So I didn't have any other choice and agreed to listen to her. Then she started tell me about her feelings, about her having crush on me for long time blah blah blah... And when she was asking me for a date, you came there and saw us talking." She paused to see my expressions.

To be honest, I was getting more angry. How dare she ask my Freen on a date!!

"And what was your reaction? What were you doing when I left" I asked her.

"When you left, I wanted to chase you but I thought it was important to tell her the truth and make things clear. So I told her that I can't date her and I'm already in a relationship with the person I love the most. The love of my life. And that person is You. There is no one else I'd rather be with. You are the woman of my dreams." She gave me a kiss on my forehead. I couldn't help but blushed at her words.

"And what was her response?" I asked her calmly this time.

"But she still insisted to give her a chance. That's when I got a little angry and told her to stop forcing me and that I don't want to see her near me again. I warned her to stop bothering us. Then I walked away without waiting for her to say something." She added and gave me a warm smile.

"Umm.. okay. I'm letting this slide this time. But if I see you again with any other girls I'll kill them and you for sure. I will not share you with anyone." I pouted and hugged her, burying my face into her neck.

She hugged me back and started rubbing my back, "Okay your highness. I'll do whatever you say." She said and kissed my head.

Then I moved back to look at her and smiled widely.

She smiled back and said,"Oh I forgot to tell you about something. How about we go to amusement park this Sunday?"

"Huh? Amusement park? Suddenly?" I was confused. Why does she suddenly want to go there?

"I thought you would want to go there with me." She shrugged.

"Yes. I want to go there with you but how do you know about it?"

"Hehe.. I saw your bucket list." She said scratching her neck.

"YOU! FREEN SAROCHA CHANKIMHA!" I almost yelled at her. "When and how did you see it?"

"Last night. In your diary." She grinned.

"Oh God!! This is so embarrassing." I said covering my face with my hands.

"There is nothing to be embarrassed about. You can write up as many wishes as you want. We will do all of it together. And after that you can write many other wishes." She moved my hands from my face and held my hand.

Her eyes are filled with love and admiration. It was making me feeling overwhelmed. Her words. Her eyes. Her care for me. Everything was making me feel very special and loved.

"Thank you  Freen. I love you so much." I told her, almost at the edge of crying in happiness.

"I love you more baby." She said pulling me for another hug.
