Everything I Didn't Say | M.C

FIVE

George and I sit together I was on his right about 5 inches away from him, I was gonna sit on the opposite side where I can face him but I don't know what pops on my mind and I sat next to him but I think it's okay anyway.

He ordered his favorite tea here at The Athenaeum which is the Evergreen Tea and it's freaking expensive. I just told him I'll get what he gets because I don't have any idea what to order and I'm not familiar to this tea place. So I conclude George is damn rich. After he talked to the lady who entertain him for the orders I tapped his arm.

"Uh, George?" I said and stared at him with my uncomfortable face.

"You okay?" He said and put his palm on my neck.

"Yes, you don't have to do that.." I said and remove his hand quickly.

"You're a bit like, you are going to be sick.. Do I make you feel not okay?" He asked and looks sad at me.

"Yeah, kinda. I mean It's not that I haven't been into places like this but we're just going to have tea or snack you said and you don't have to treat me to this kind of places."

"It's fine don't worry about it! This is actually my favorite tea place my mother always brings me here whenever she's off work." He said while looking on a different way.

There's really something that's bothering him and I wonder what it is. I guess Caleb was right after all what he told me that he sees me to him now I see myself. He's depressed not really on how he looks but you could feel it and how he gestures there's this negative vibe that's pulling you. While we're waiting on the snack George ordered, I'm looking at him while he stares on the window. There's like a big war that's going on his eyes, he stares deeply on the window I don't know if he really looks on the road outside or he literally thinks something. I guess the lessons that I've encountered was paying on me or it was on my nature?

As the lady arrived and place the orders on the table. There's this medium pot for the tea while she serve it to us and two fancy tea cup and a platter of different kinds of cupcakes, scones and mini slices of cakes.

"Oh God, this is cute." I said and smiled.

"I never see you smiled." He said and look straight to me.

"Well the sweets are, thanks for bringing me here and I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what?" He said and took a sip on the fancy tea cup.

"I don't know, I feel I have to say sorry.. I guess I was just thinking too deep about you like you were a bad person but now I guess not. Of course not because you bring me here I just felt it." I explained and I literally feel shy now.

George pick a saucer and take a mini sliced cake with blueberry on top and hand it over to me.

"Eat this with the tea it's taste good." He said while he do the same.

"Aren't you going to respond on what I've just said?" I'm getting confused.

"I don't know what else to say too and I don't blame you for thinking that because it's my fault, dragging you somewhere and you're just new here and yeah I know you are not that person who's in for the money." He said as we look on each other.

"How sure are you?" I said and move a little away from him since we're just inches away.

"Just please don't creeped out. I did a little background check about you, I just got curious."

"Curious to what? Literally, you and Caleb are freaks!" I said with a high tone.

"Not like that Lai! Look I just like you okay? I was a bit stalker not a creepy rapist or something." He chuckled.

"Well there is nothing interesting about me." I said and finally took a sip on the tea.

Wow. It was really good.

"But I would like to find that out." George said and holds my left hand.

"No, you can't." I said and shove his hand.

"Sorry that was fast."

"I thought we're just friends?" I asked.

"Yeah but I will try to change that."

"Clearly why? Tell me." I stared at him, eye to eye though I feel awkward.

"Because, because-you look like my mom and I miss her so much." He said and stands up I don't know if i'll take it as a compliment or what.

George went out of the tea place but he didn't leave me he just sits outside I don't know what to feel after he said that to me. I look like his mom? What is that supposed to mean? I admit I feel sorry for him and it was a confusion for me. I went out and sit next to him.

"Is something bothering you?" I asked. I have nothing to say I do feel awkward, literally a hundred percent.

"Look Lai, I've been depressed for like a year. My mom passed away one year ago she died in pulmonary carcinoma it's a lung cancer she had a tumor on her lungs. She was my everything who gives me strength and motivation but she left. I just can't accept it." Tears went out of his eyes.

"I'm sorry, how about your dad where is he?" I said while rubbing his back.

"He first left before mom."

"You mean he died too?" Shit. This is a serious matter.

"Yes, but he died in a car accident when I was twevle years old. My granddad was the one who raise me after my mom died. My life was just tragic but you came and..." He whispered.

"What?"

"When I saw you at the university I had this spark on me and I thought it was a bonus because your beauty was like my mom's not that being an old woman you know from your aura but from the months that has passed when I'm all down I could feel like your the one who will light it up. I feel like I found my saviour.. Also I thought it was good because you and Caleb were in a same class."

"I-I, don't know how to reply to that." I said and my eyes widen.

"Am I running this really fast?" He said.

Obviously George. Yes.

"Well yes, look George.. I can't." I said.

"What do you mean you can't?" As he stands up and look in front of me.

"I can't love you.."

"I'm not rushing everything, I just want to let you know that I like you and I'm willing to wait."

"It's not like that. Listen, I- I'm waiting for someone.."

"Oh.." He's voice turn low then he put his hands on his pockets.

"I'm sorry George."

He nods.

We both go back inside he's ery disappointed so I am not because I didn't give him a chance but It's like I broke his heart and make him lose his hope to regain his happiness but I don't want to love him because I was sorry I want it happened because I feel something. As we walk to get inside I grab his hand.

"Hey.." I said as he look at me and lift his head up.

"Yeah?"

"Look we can still be friends and hang out, you know that kind of stuff."

"Alright, thank you Lai I'm really sorry I pushed you." Then he pulled me into a hug.

It was tight.

"It was fine." I whispered.

When George and I go back to our seat I saw a very familiar face, really familiar. My hands strats to shake and I felt down I don't know if I feel hope or I lose hope.

"Lai?!" He shouted.

"Luke, I-" He walk straight to me and hug me.

It's Luke, Luke Hemmings.
