Love Always Finds A Way (Taglish) [OlStan]

Part 19

Seb's POV

Our relationship is not perfect. We fight, there's misunderstanding and all. But we make sure that we talk about it, we work it out.

I received a call from Marg that morning before I go to work. She said that she'll drop by the office, we have important matter to discuss. There's something about her voice that scares me. I'm scared for Lizzie and I. I'm scared that whatever Marg will tell me today, it might end Lizzie and I's relationship. I don't know where I'm getting the idea.

I saw her preparing our coffee. The usual stuff she does every morning. She walk towards me and kissed my lips. Her perfume, her scent is like a drugs to me.

She handed me the coffee, then we sat beside each other. "Are you ok?" She touched my arm.

I sweat a lot than usual, I don't know if she noticed. I'm nervous, I feel like my stomach's churning. "I'm ok."

"Sebby.. I can tell you're not ok. What's bothering you?"

I took a deep breath. I need a fresh air. "I'll just go out." I stood up and started walking on my way to the door.

"Where are you going? Do you want me to go with you?"

I shook my head and off I go.

I went to the beach. I watched the waves dancing to the tune of the wind. I sat on the sand, removed my shoes.

I don't know what Marg will tell me later. But I have this feeling that this is something that will break me and Lizzie apart. She will not contact and talk to me just like that after 3 months for no reason.

I came back in the office, not sure how long I was gone. I saw Marg sitting in the chair opposite mine. Lizzie is focus on her monitor.

"Hi there." Marg waved her hand. "Where have you been?"

"Non of your business." I said coldly. My heart is racing, stomach churning, the muscles on my body is constricting.

She smiled. "There's no more cubicle, huh?" She observed, then she looks at Liz.

"What brings you here?" Not really fond of chitchat with her. "We're over."

She nodded. "I know. I know. But, i'm pregnant Seb."

Lizzie's eyes and my eyes met. I can see a questioning look from her face. Like asking me, "what the hell is she talking about?"

"And so?" I retorted.

"Seriously Seb? Ikaw ang ama! You have to marry me."

I chuckled. "Are you insane? No!" I think my voice echoed in the room when I said the last word.

Tumayo si Marg sa pagkakaupo n'ya. Lumapit sakin. She started slapping me, left and right. I didn't fight back. "Ang kapal ng mukha mo! You already get what you wanted from me kaya wala ka ng pakialam sakin!" She starts crying, tears trickling down her face. She throw weak punches on my chest.

"Marg.." I heard Lizzie's soft voice. She wrapped her hands over Marg body. "Just go home."

Marg kept crying. I am at loss for words. In denial, no I couldn't be the father. I don't know what to say. But really, I have a lot to say. But I kept my mouth shut. I don't want to make things worst.

Lizzie guided Marg on her way out. Then she went back on her seat. She's not talking.

"Liz.." I called out her name.

She looks at me and tears started falling down her face.

I pulled her closer to me. I placed her head on my chest. "I'm sorry." That's the only thing I can tell her, the only thing I have in mind.
