My Missing Piece | Sean Lew

Chapter 10 | Star Gazing

Sean's POV

"So, what were you crying about anyways?, is it okay?, if you don't mind" I ask

"Well its nothing really" she replies.

I know shes lying.

I should just stop.

"So you seem to be down lately" I say.

"Well, maybe I guess, its just been really hard for me to get used to living in L.A" she replies.

"You'll get used to this life, soon". I say

"So..." I reply.

"Do you really start all your conversations with a 'so'?" She laughs.

"Maybe." I say.

***

I typed in my phone's password and decided to text Anne. I laugh at her name on my contacts.

I text her saying

'Come here at my house, you've stalked me so I think you remember where I live :p, 8pm ASAP, no questions." I text her.

***

I hear a knock on the door, assuming it was Anne. I open the door and yes, it was her.

"What took you so long. Its like 8:42" I reply while checking the wall clock.

"Well don't expect me to remember your huge house at once." She chuckles.

***
"What are we doing here anyways?" She asks.

"Well I thought it would be a good idea to just star gaze and forget about our problems." I reply.

"Yes, yes of course" she replies.

"So, Anne, I have a question." I ask looking at her, but she was busy looking at the stars.

"You already asked." She says laughing.

She gets me every time.

"Haha, very funny.", I reply laughing.

"Have you ever fallen in love before?" I ask

DAMN IT SEAN.

WHY DID I ASK THAT.

DAMN IT.

"What made you ask that?" She replies.

"Well, its okay if you don't mi-" she cuts me off.

"Its okay, Ill be happy to tell you." She replies smiling at me.

I looked at her getting lost into her eyes.

What the heck.

This isn't happening.

This cant be.

I just met her.

Nope, nope.

"Back in the Philippines, I met this guy in school. We were good friends since we were kids.When we grew older, we became closer. But when reality stroke, he seems to avoid me at some point and it just became a wreck, I fell in love with him. But its not like all fantasies you expect. Seems not much as serious ones, but it affected me, as a sensitive person I am."

"Oh damn, such guy he is." I reply.

"Don't worry, I'm over him" she replies.

"Well now that I've heard your story, I never knew you were that sensitive." I reply

"Well yeah, since I was a kid, my dad has always been so busy with work, meetings and stuff, leaving early in the morning. Its just the same busy schedule he has when we were in the Philippines, I never got the time to bond with him." She replies while facing the other side avoiding my gaze.

"Oh, but I'm pretty sure he's doing it for your family. Trust me he loves you and he always will, its just that he's doing it for you."

"Thanks, I never really had this deep conversation with anyone except my best friend, but she's way back In the Philippines.", she replies.

"Don't worry, you'll meet awesome people here in L.A" I reply.

"I'm glad we had this talk, Sean, I need to get going Now its getting pretty late." She replies as she stood up.

I stood up and offer to walk her home.
