Mistaken Love (#Wattys2018)

Chapter 2

Realisation

The next following days, it went on smoothly and I still haven't told Gale that was in the club that night. I lied and made up some lame excuses like I felt ill that night and I was unable to call him because I was asleep.

Lame excuses but it works.

And I also didn't mention about the hot guy that I made out with because that will surely piss him off. And Lau suggested that it would be better if I don't tell him if I plan to not do it again. It will just ruin our relationship. Well, I wanted to break up with him but, I still doesn't want to hurt him.

He's the only one that loves me more than anything. And now I really do feel bad that I kissed a stranger in the club.

I should have not kissed that man.

Now I have to take that secret to my grave.

Right now, Gale is in Canada, doing something about the case that he is handling. And I missed him already. I know I made a mistake for kissing that man in the club and I will make sure that it will never happen again.

God, I just cheated on my fiancé? But it's just a kiss, right? Shit. I really did cheated on him.

"Don't tell you are still thinking about the guy you just kissed?" Lau woke me back to reality as she pinched my back.

I'm just driving my best friend to her place. And it has always been like this, before me, I drive her home first.

"Why would I think about him?" I scoffed, it is a lie of course because I am still thinking about that handsome guy.

"Maybe because you like him?" Lau smirked, teasingly.

"I'm engaged, Lau. Don't tease me." I slapped her hand away from punching me because I'm driving.

"So what if you're engage? You're not married yet." She rolled her eyes then crossed her arms.

"Lau, can you please hand me my phone? It's in my bag." I asked her because it is located at the backseat. I can't reach out behind because I'm currently in busy road.

Lau obliged and gave me my phone. "Thanks." I murmured then tried to call Gale. But it made me reach up to 6 missed calls and he is still not answering.

"Who are you calling?"

"Gale." I answered. "He's not answering me."

"Maybe he's busy." Lau shrugged her shoulders then chuckled. "Or maybe he doesn't want to talk to someone. Shana, just leave him be."

I didn't listen to her and just keep on calling him. Seriously, Lau never approves about Gale. She doesn't like him and it is very obvious. She barely talks to him when we're all together. And she gets mad at me when I accepted his proposal.

And I really want her to like him. Who doesn't want that?

12 more missed calls and he is still not answering. I already dropped Lau home and I am already in Dad's house when he is still not answering.

"That's an awful face. What are you thinking?" My mind snaps back to reality when my older sister, Lana speaks as she nudges my shoulder. I was actually making a soup and I didn't noticed that I absent-mindedly staring at it while I wait for it to simmer. And the soup just dries off because of my carelessness. "Shit." I removed it immediately from the heat and transferred it somewhere.
