Moving On

Seeing you again

second chance? maybe he deserve to have it

"nice! you look so refresh Krissy"

"thanks aunt. How's grandma?"

"oh. she fell asleep."

"by the way Kris, I have a business to do I'll be back maybe ....... before the dinner"

"ok aunt but be careful"

"sure thanks. Before I forgot, could you guys please tell the Tyche Family my sorry that I can't talk to them?"

"I will mom be careful"

we then placed a peck in each other's cheeks

"by Ericka"

"bye mom"

with that, she disappeared from the scene

"so? ...  how's your relationship going?"

"really Kris?!"

a blushing Luke immidiately reacted

oh Luke. You're still the same Luke I know since we were children

I can't hide the smirk on my face because of mix feelings about the memories of younger Luke and their relationship

"why are you smirking?"

"don't mind it luke"

"weirdo"

"at least she's smiling darling!"

nicely done by Ericka

"seriously?! darling?!"

we're just the same like few years ago

talking about nonsense and random things when we were alone with each other

"remember that day when Luke tried to wear aunt Lorie's stilettos when we were six?"

"yeah! Oh! they have a picture of it!"

"where?! I want to see it Ericka!"

"wait I'll find it. I saved it to my cellphone"

"seriously guys?! could you please stop it? seriously"

he said but we all knew that he's also laughing inside

a typical tomato luke

"by the way, how's your designing carrer going Ericka?"

"its good. I'm still at low league but I'm at east improving"

"you're really humble darling. Actually one of her design will be featured at victoria's secret fashion show"

Luke proudly said. They really look a cute couple teasing each other

"darling?! oh Luke! stop the cheesy call please"

Ericka blushly said

we just laugh at our conversations till Ericka's phone rang

she then excused herself and went out

"Krissy"

he only calls me by that when he's serious

he's the type of guy that wants to seperate good times and serious moments

"what?" I said while looking at grand that is still sleeping soundly

"you sure you can face that jerk now?"

"nothing to worry about luke. If I'm nervous, that's because I don't know how but I want to find a way to forgive him"

"before I forgot kris, grandpa called this morning"

"its ok luke. I want to hear what he said"

"it seems that he knew that you're here in Greenfield. He told me that there's a huge party he's throwing to celebrate the company's 19th anniversary"

his beloved company

he then continued after a few seconds of silence

"you're invited. He invited you"

that was unexpected

"give me few hours to think luke"

next week is the anniversary of the company. He might get angry to mom if I turn down his invitation. On the other hand, I still can't face him. I'm still not ready yet

"speaking of grandpa. Did he visit grandma already?"

"yeah. Believe me, he's really worried when he got here. The invulnerable boss of Luminous group of companies became vulnerable for the first time"

that was far unexpected

I think even us, his relatives didn't know much about him.

"sorry guys but I have to go"

Ericka nervously said as she enter the room

"what happened?"

"we have an urgent meeting for the upcoming fashion show this week and they need me there"

"you ok? you look uneasy"

luke said really worried

"I'm fine"

"bye kris!"

luke then kissed here

with that, she disappeared from the scene

"go with her luke"

"but you need me here krissy"

"I know myself luke. I'll be fine. Go with her"

"ok thanks kris. I promise I'll be back after we're finish there"

"don't think too much. She needs you"

we then gently hugged each other

... ... ...

few minutes had passed since luke left me when I heard a knock

as I slowly opened the door, he's there. Standing in front of me. And by the look on his eyes, I can tell that he looks surprised too bust like me

"come in"

I said as I cut the awkwardness

he wore his usual office attire. The way he talks to me and his facial expressions when he's serious, he didn't changed after all

"just put that basket at the table. I'll buy something to drink"

"Kris, ... lets talk"

he said as I was standing in front of the door to get out

he was immidiately snapped into the reality

"I mean, my father wants to tell you something"

"about what?"

"I don't know either"

"is that so? ok"

I said as I was ready to turning the knob

"Kris"

"what?" I said not turning to face him

"sorry for what happened last..."

"its ok Noah. I already forgave you and I wnt us to be friends again"

I then face him which I think caused him to look away

"yeah. Thanks"

its better this way than the last time if I remember it right
