The Day We Met

8.

I just sent a draft to my boss through email. It's a bit late because I was distracted for a few days with what's happening with Kevin. Well, he called me a lot of times already. I never answered it. He sent messages too. I have read it but I didn't reply. What's the point?

He posted a picture of him and Sunny recently. It's in a carnival obviously. Good thing, they're already okay.

"Hey, let's have breakfast." It's a text from Ria. I jumped out of the bed. My two assistants went to Manila already. I don't need them anymore. I can handle it from here. I think I'll be home after two weeks.

"Where's Ria?" Ugh, it's Sebastian Adam again. I don't know which name should I call him. Ria calls him Sebastian Adam though.

"She went out to take a call. What do you want?" He asked.

I sat beside him and checked the menu.

"I'll have coffee only."

"You should eat." He said sternly.

"I don't like eating breakfast."

"Eat."

He's being bossy for some reason. I hate it.

He would not stop glaring at me  if I wouldn't eat, so I chose to ate even if I didn't want to.- YES GLARING.

"What's taking her so long?"

"I don't know." He's such a bummer. Ugh. He rolled his eyes at me.

"Seriously, what's wrong with you? Why are you being a jerk to me?"

"It's none of your business." And then he left... We fought but I didn't expect it to be this way. He treated me like his mortal enemy. How childish! It's just a freaking name. It's fair for the both of us since we both faked our names. It wasn't only me!

"Where's my brother?" Ria arrived.

"He left. I don't know. He finds me annoying."

"Don't mind him. He's like that when he likes someone."

"What?"

"Oh nothing. Come on, Red. Let's go swimming!!"

I took a shower first and then followed Ria.

My white maxi dress was a gift from Kevin. I remember.

"So, is it your first time here?" She asked.

"No, I was with my family when we first went here."

We both swam going to a deeper part of the sea. I know how to swim because my dad taught me back when I was still young.

"You know, I just want to thank you Red for being here not only because of your work but also because you treat me as your friend. I appreciate it, really."

"It's so impossible not to be your friend. You're very nice."

"Have you seen my brother by the way? He's always missing." I don't need that guy. As if.

"He won't be with you whenever you're with me. He hates me so much! I don't know why."

"Don't be too blind, Red. You will know the answer soon. I trust my brother."

"Wait, what are you talking about?"

"I know Seb more than anyone. Trust me and him on this."

"Ria!!"

"Hahaha kidding. Nevermind!"

We talked about a lot of things. I'm really enjoying her company.    But I know she has to leave again because of her career.

The weather is nice and I can feel the sun rays and the strong wind.

Unfortunately, I have to go back within a week or so. My life is not here, it's in the city.

"Hey, Red. You awake?" We're staying here at the pool benches. Maybe Ria though I was sleeping.

"Nope."

"Later, let's drink up."

"Sure."

"And tomorrow please join us. We're going to our mom's house."

"Okay. I'll get going before we eat dinner. I need to shower."

"Go ahead."

It took me an hour in the bathroom. I took a dip in the hot tub and I fell asleep. I'm such a sleepyhead.

When I unlocked my phone, there were a lot of missed calls. Some are from my mom and the rest are from Ria. Kylie texted me too though.

I dressed up immediately. I'm wearing a white sleeveless cropped top and high waisted shorts. I alsoties my hair so it won't fall off my shoulders. I know it's cold outside but I want a comfortable get-up.

"Seriously? I have been waiting for years!!" Sebastian Adam again.

"It's only 9 pm. You have to chill. Where's Ria?"

"She's already sleepy. Thus, that woman asked me to wait for you."

"You should not have waited for me if you are only going to act this way."
