Elmo | Forget
I was too surprised to see her inside my sister's office. I didnt have a notion that the girl who Max have been telling me was Julie.
She's one of the best person that I know.
She's freaking talented, you have no idea.
She's such a sweetheart!
She's really loyal and pure and kind, i dont know, i just love that girl too much.
Max's words were onloop in my head when our eyes met.
Loyal?
Pure?
Kind?
My expression changed and i got too irritated. I wasnt ready to see her. Not now. But here i am. Standing right next to the person who decided to leave me a couple of years ago. She chose to go and walk out of my life without telling me a good reason to do so. She decided to go all by herself and even told me not to come back. I see no reason for our separation but she wanted this. She gave up. She disappeared just like that. She chose to go and leave. She chose to be alone. And i chose to forget. Completely.
"Who are you?" I repeated. I dont know why those words automatically came out of my mouth.
Her smile faded when i asked her the same question again and said
"Im Julie."
Her expression changed and gave me a smile. A smile that never reached her eyes.
"Im Julie Anne."
I simply nodded and walked myself inside a room full of black pieces of gowns. Probably her creations.
"Body hugging gowns. Tulle. Ball Gowns. Dresses." she said in an almost a whisper while pointing every sections of the black dresses.
I nodded as i simply looked at the gowns and as i stand there longer, it gets harder and harder to choose. Every piece of it has a unique highlight and i know nothing about what Jordin wants.
I dialed her number and on its third ring, she picked up.
"Hey Jords? Will you come over at Max's dress shop? I cant choose which one will look good on you. I mean it's all beautiful," i whispered the last part as I distance more myself from Julie.
"You cant? Okay i'll just choose five dresses then and we will come back for it tomorrow," i made a deal and she agreed. She told me she's in a cover shoot and she cant come over.
She was seated on a table near me, her head was bowed and focused on her sketch pad.
Her hair was falling off her face covering an eye on my view. She still looked pretty when she's serious.
"Ba..." i took one step and was surprised when i almost say a word that i know i have been fighting not to say.
I shut my eyes and anger washed my mind. No. I wont let anything to start again. We are done with it. She chose to live alone. I chose to forget. Elmo, keep that in mind!
My thought then was buzzing and i need to calm down.
I cleared my throat to get her attention. She dropped her pen and pad and then picked them up immediately and stood in front of me again.
"Oh im sorry sir, may napili na po ba kayo?" she asked in a rushed tone and i shook my head.
"You do it for me." i answered shortly.
