This Romantic Novel [√]

Chapter 7: Old History

The tension was quiet. Just enough that I could hear my heart beating and feel my palms sweating from the awkwardness I was sensing between the two males, one held an expression of happiness, whilst the other displayed a blank one. But still, I decided to try to break the silence between them.

"So Kane", I started, allowing his body to turn back to my direction, while Luke's eyes gazed averted to me. "What brings you here? I thought you and Amanda left?"

"Well, we were. But we decided to stay here for a while for vacation," He answered, "Plus, I wanted to see what her home city was like," he added with a smile.

"I see, then you must be going to Amanda right now", I spoke out.

He chuckled at my response before replying.

"Yep, that's right. I am going to meet her at her favourite restaurant during her childhood - you should come along, guys, I'm sure she wouldn't mind," he suggested.

               However, I didn't want to. I didn't want to be the fourth wheel between the three of them, as even I (as a writer who had no experience in writing a romance novel) can see that there is a love triangle between them. Now that is something I would rather avoid and not get caught up in the middle.

               I opened my mouth and was about to reply 'no' when Luke answered for me, which allowed my rage to increase more.

"Sure, we have free time today, so why not spend it with you guys." Luke said with a fraudulent smile.

"What?" I quickly said, "Look. Luke can come, but I have to do something important," I explained to Kane before waving goodbye. Turning my body to the other direction.

               Only to be turned back around by Kane.

"That wouldn't be fair to Luke then," Kane replied, seeing his expression turned a bit dismal by the thought of Luke just coming to meet with him and Amanda. "Plus, you're both dating, and it wouldn't be fair if the other person didn't come," He paused.

I was about to say something once again, however, I was cut off by Kane, who gave the puppy dog eyes.

Which –in fact– was kind of cute.

I was about to reply 'no' again when I heard Kane's voice, leaving me to hesitate.

"Pwease~~~" Kane added, approaching closer towards me.

I wanted to reply 'no' - but when I looked at his face once again.

This was the part when I had to give up.

"Even though I only found out now, it's just great to see you guys again," Amanda smiled cheerfully, sitting.
