The Runaway Bride

Chapter 7 - 5 Signs and A Phone call

It was one in the afternoon,I was sitting alone in one of those many chairs outside Starbucks while sipping my favorite frappuccino , Okay.. Scratch that! I’m not really alone. 



I was with my baby, Scarloe who was busy playing with her pink noisy rattle as she sat right next to me on a high chair. I remember I’ve slid a newspaper inside my bag before I left  to Eastwood. 





 I was bored. Hella bored that I started reading every column of the newspaper I was holding. Even read about Piolo Pascual’s sexuality debate corner.. Is he gay? that I dont even want to know







So many things have changed including the fact that pretty boys these days are actually so pretty they wanted boys to themselves as well








I was reading one of the article of Jucelle Cuyos’, when my eyes had dropped to the next ‘talk’ which I don’t know how I stumbled upon it 








5 Signs you’re heading down to break up – It read and It left my curiosity all drenched and hungry to  know what the article has inside









If your guy is suddenly saying no to potato chips and yes to the gym, you might want to ponder with whom, exactly, he's envisioning sharing this revamped physique -- it might not be you. And if you've b………….












“Really? You’re reading those kinds now, Diane?”



I looked up and saw him flashing me his super mega watt smile that will definitely have girls turn around 360 degree just so they could catch a glimpse of it







He took the chair just across to where I was and then grabbed the newspaper I was reading for over an hour now







But before he had his butt over the chair, He beamed another grin at Scarloes, who was sitting just beside me on a high chair








He pinched little Scarloe’ nose which made her giggled like a cute baby she already was while showing off her adorable dimple, her asset aside from having an already-cute-looking freckled-face








“What are you doing here?” I asked while glaring at him intently. I didn’t even invite him in but he just came out of nowhere and sat at our table








“Well let’s see .. Signs of break ups huh.” He said not even answering my question. The news paper itself was covering half of his face and I couldn’t make out a line if what he was thinking right now










He read aloud the five signs that I was supposed to read it myself.. Each signs stung my already worn heart and I couldn’t tell anymore if it is still beating





1. You don't have anything to talk about.





---- True. Even he knows that I am a Finance Grad, He wont even spill what the heck is going on inside the business ring. It’s not like I’m stupid and I wouldn’t get the thing right?

2. You don't care about the people who are important to him




---- He often tells me how this Lebron James’ a bad ass in court. And Im like? I don’t really care about those 6’11 almost 7 feet afro guys. Ugh! And  to begin with? I don’t even like basketball. Its boring. Why are guys so into basketball anyway?











3. Someone's suddenly a workaholic. 






---- Yes, Ever since he started managing their family business, he’s been like that. It’s like whenever he gets home .. He takes off his tie then flop to our bed without even acknowledging that I exist right next to our bed

4. You only seem to hang out in big groups.






----Sad but true. After his busy days, he would either slipped me to his sched and have dinner with his secretary, his co-workers and few of the investors I know. Then the whole time, They would talk nonstop and I would act like a cactus in the middle of the sea.. Completely utterly hopeless, I know!








5. You're not supporting each other.



----- And I feel like we’re slowly drifting a part one by one ..















This wasn’t our first major fight. In fact, back in the days, it was worst .. Before I was pregnant with Scarloe .. There’s this thing that happened between us.








On the day that I had this weird morning sickness, I thought I was probably tired. Maybe. But it suddenly hit me that maybe. Just Maybe, I might be pregnant.






The thought of it for the first time had my stomach clutch telling me how nervous I was at that time. So many things have flashed my mind and I was nervous to see Tyler’s reaction ..








‘What if he never wanted one?—what if’ --- Those thoughts kept on coming into me hence to be sure, I took a pregnancy test on a stick.








Walking around back and forth while waiting for the result on 15 agonizing minutes was one hella experience I’ll never forget. It struck me especially when I saw the result.









It says, I was positive but I was still dreamy and wouldn’t believe that white stick thing so I’ve check on Dr. Weiss, My OB at that time ..








I told Tyler to be with me at that time. I expect too much, I waited for him to come  but he never did.
Atleast that was what I thought before he slid inside my Doctor’s office
“Im sorry" He said, watching as I slowly stood up from where I sat.
