Walls

Chapter 25 part2

I've been very busy lately. I was working over time since Rhesel, my co-worker, went on maternity leave so the rest of us needed to fill her slot. She's on her 8th month for her first baby with her husband, Kean. I am happy for them since I kind of witnessed their love story. Although everything happened fast between them, they looked happy and really perfect for each other.

I can't help but compare my love life to them. Why can't I just have my happy ever after? Why is everything around me so complicated?

I felt my phone vibrated. I checked it and saw Jayson messaged me.

"Hey. I miss you already."

I smiled.

"I'm sorry. Just really busy. I'll make it up to you soon." I sent.

I haven't went out with either of the two for the past week due to my work. Aside from filling up a vacant slot, the whole hospital were really busy for an upcoming health inspection this coming week. All of us were buzzed up.

"But I need to see you sooner than soon. :(" He replied.

I chuckled about Jayson's childish acts. He only shows that side if him to me.

"Sorry. I promise, as soon as I can."

"Need to see you now. :(."

"Can't."

"Even for an hour or two?"

I considered his question. It would be unfair for Jason since I went overnight at the resort with Jace last week.

"Fine. After work, 6pm. I have to be home before 9pm, I have an early shift tomorrow." I sent him.

"Great! Promise you'll be back home before 9pm. :*"

I laughed at the kissing emoticon that Jayson sent and went back to work.

Jace's POV

"But Danielle." I insisted.

"Sorry Jace. I am just really busy. I'll make it up to you guys I promise."

"Busy? But you'll be going out with Jason." I said.

I called Danielle since I really miss her already. She's been really busy with work and I can't help but also miss our moments back at the resort.

"Jace, I told you. I gave in to him but that would only be a few hours. I can't squeeze in meeting both of you in my schedule. I said, I'll make it up to you guys as soon as I can, right? Besides, I don't need to explain to you everything I do." She said sounding pissed.

"Uh Oh."

"Wait, babe. Danielle, sorry okay? I just really miss you and I can't help but feel jealous especially since I knew you'd be going out with Jason." I explained.

"Fine. I have to hang up. I'm still at work." She said.

"Okay. I love you." I said.

She ended the call. I let out a sigh.

I was kind of feeling disappointed. Why? I don't know. I know she won't reply back to my I love you but I somehow hoped she would. Especially with what happened back at the resort. I can't help but my spark of hope grew a bit with how she interact with me. She even kissed me back.

"Damn." I cursed.

I felt I had an edge with everything that happened back there. Of course, Jason would do something to catch up.

Then something came in my mind.

***

I passed by Krissy's apartment to have a quick shower before going out with Jayson. He agreed to meet me here. He told me we will just have dinner just to catch things up.

I quickly got dressed and fixed myself. I was the one who picked my attire since Krissy was in South Korea for a week long vacation. She tried to convince me to come along but I can't since I was very busy in the hospital.

As soon as I was done, I heard the doorbell rang. I grabbed my things and met Jayson outside.

Instead of dining in a restaurant, Jayson led me into a building. I tried to ask him what would we be doing there but he just smiled.

We entered the elevator and Jayson pressed the top floor. When we got out, we climbed up another flight of stairs. At the end, I saw a door and when Jayson opened it, then I realized we're in the roof top.

"I just want to spice things a bit since we always had dinner in restaurants." He smiled.

I smiled back at him and noticed a blanket spread on the floor nearby. There were also a picnic basket and a guitar on the side.

"Of course, there would be a guitar. Jayson will always have his guitar." I thought.
