Love Always Finds A Way (Taglish) [OlStan]

Part 14

Lizzie's POV

It's been weeks since the last time I've seen Marg. And it is a surprise to see her today. She's wearing a pink skimpy dress. Hugging her curvaceous body.

"Sweetie, what is happening? Don't you miss me?" I heard her ask.

"I'm busy, Marg. Sorry." He responded.

Busy? You're not, Seb. Clearly you're not. Well - he's busy. We're going out every.single.day, during lunch time. And i'm not proud.

This has happened before, with Chris. And history is repeating itself. No, I am not allowing it to happen again.

Seb and I are friends. That's all there is. No more, no less. We're just enjoying each others company. We just get along so well.

"Don't you miss me? You're not answering my question!" Her voice sounded exasperated.

"Marg, we'll talk later ok? Let's not talk about this thing here." He said calmly.

I know it's not right to eavesdrop, but I just can't help it. The only thing that separate us is a plastic panel, taller than me about 20-30 metres. Seb is even taller than the panel.

"Sebastian, see me tonight or we're over!" After that, a clinking sound from her shoes heels can be heard.

He didn't even follow her. I look at Marg, I saw her glaring at me. She pulled the door and slammed it close.

I heard footsteps, he approached me. "Heard it?" He sat on my desk.
I nodded. "How can I not? We're only separated by this?" I knocked on the plastic panel. "Why didn't you follow her?" My eyes fixed on my monitor. Legs are crossed, my arms crossed over my chest too.

"Should I follow her, you think?" He look at me.

"I don't know. You tell me, should you?" I shrugged my shoulders. I look him in the eye.

"I need a good advice right now. Don't ask me back. I don't have time for that."

I raised my eyebrow. "If you love her, then you should, Idiot." I muttered under my breath, then break our eye contact.

"You think I should follow her?" He asked again.

"If you love her, then you should." A feeling of loneliness crept inside me. Somehow, I'm wishing that he would not follow her. I felt scared. It is happening again. I'm falling again.

Tumayo s'ya mula sa pagkakaupo sa desk ko. He walked away, head to the door and then he went out.

I feel a pain in my heart. I clutch my chest. Why? Why? I thought I've learned from what happened before? I tried to focus on my work. But I just can't.

He walked out the room, he followed her. That only means one thing Lizzie, he love her. With that thought, my energy was sucked out of my body. I felt weak.

Tears started streaming down my cheeks. Not again! No! I took a tissue from the holder and use it to wipe the tears away. No, you're not crying because of him. After I've wiped the tears away, another batch came falling down.

I weep. I can't help, I was trying to control my emotion, but somehow I can't. I turn off my monitor, I'm going out, I need fresh air. Lunch time.

Lumabas ako ng room.

"Where are you going?" He asked. I can smell cigarette smoke from his breath. That's unusual.

"Lunch."

"Without me?"

I walk passed him. I can sense his presence. He's just behind me, not saying a word.

I went to the same cafe where I usually had my lunch. It's been a while. Since Seb and I started going out for lunch, we'll always go to that "Yellowgreen Cafe"
