Maybe This Time(GirlxGirl)

Chapter 5

Joey's POV

It's already 11 in the evening and I am still in the office. I did not noticed that I fell asleep while working. It's already Friday and I have class on Saturdays so I packed my things. I am about to head straight to the elevator when I noticed that Sophia's office lights are on.

"How come her office has its lights on when she's on a vacation leave?" I thought to myself.

I walked to her office and turn the doorknob, it wasn't locked. I can hear small voices from inside the room so I pull the door slowly. I thought that there was an intruder so I peeked silently. I saw Mia kissing somebody. What the hell is she doing inside Pia's room? It is illegal to use this room when the officer is not around unless it was Sophia who gave her the permission. I can't clearly see who the other person was. Mia's body is blocking the sight. I had a weird feeling that it was Sophia. I noticed how closed were they to each other within the short time I was working here in ILH. To confirm I fished out my phone and dialed Pia's number. To my surprise, I heard a phone ringing that implies it was indeed Sophia who was on the other side.

Afraid that I might disturb them,

I silently ran to the elevator and pressed the down button. In my luck, the elevator went quickly so I get to enter and punched my designated floor in no time leaving them alone. I started my car's engine and stepped on the gas without heating it up just to get away from the building as soon as possible. I reduced my speed the moment I reached the streets of New York.

While driving, my phone vibrated as an indication that I've received a message. It was from Sophia. I am about to reply when the scene came back to my memory. What was wrong with me? Why do I have to feel hurt? Why do I have to run away? My heart pounded as if it was breaking my chest from within. I felt lonely and longing for the first time. But why do I long for her when we have never been together in the first place? It never happened to me before. Only to Sophia. It is as if my heart knows her but my mind do not remember her. This weird awkward feeling is distracting me. What shall I do?

It's past 12 when I got to my unit, as usual, Sheena is still awake waiting for me. It has always been her hobby to wait for me to come home. She's such a sweet best friend.

"Where. The. Heck. Have. You. Been?" she asked slowly while she closes the door.

"I fell asleep in the office, Sheen." I went straight to the kitchen to check the refrigerator. "Fell asleep?" Seriously tho?" She followed and took the food from the microwave.

"I am being serious." I responded grabbing a fork from the utensil cabinet and stabbed the pork she pre-heated. "Thanks for this." I added referring to the food.

"You're welcome. Go to bed after eating, okay? You still have class later." She leaned down to me and kissed my cheeks. "Goodnight, bestie. I love you." She added.

I wrapped my arms around her and leaned my head to her tummy, my ear touching her tummy though. "I love you too, Sheen. Thank you for always being there." She tap my head as a response and went to her room yawning. She's pretty sleepy and yet she still waited for me to come home.

I took the plate to the living room and turned the TV on. There's nothing to be watched since it is already past 1 am so I browsed the channels and found a spongebob squarepants on nick. Growing up as a kid, I used to hate this show, never did I remember loving this show even before. Few years ago, while browsing channels my attention was caught by this show and I do not know how did it happen that I instantly loved spongie. I enjoyed watching the show that I forgot about the time and my class later that afternoon. It's 3 am when the show finally ended, I grabbed my things and proceed to my room. I fell asleep once my back hit the bed.
