Exhaling the smoke out, I looked over the balcony glass and viewed the city lights as I smoked my third cigarette.
I had called Skylar over to bring some beer and I had to tell her what happened. When my cigarette were finished to the filter. I threw it in the ashtray and walked back in.
The main door opened and Skylar's familiar voice greeted.
" Got them?" I asked her, she held up a bag of beer.
" Yes, thank you, may God bless your soul," I said as I quickly took the bag placing it on the coffee table and took one bottle up. I opened the bottle by the table side and gulped down the whole thing.
" Whoah whoah, " Skylar said walking over to me and took my bottle away.
" Hey!" I said trying to get the bottle back.
" If you're gonna drink like that, might as well I take them backa and replace them with plain water which in that case you already have at home, " Skylar warned me.
" Fine, just give me back, " I said , she squinted at me as she gave back. I took another gulped and put it aside taking out another one.
" The last time you are like this was like a year ago except you drank bottles of lemon tea and cried your eyes out, " Skylar recalled.
I was already at my third beer and fourth cigarette. My eyes started to tear up a little as I looked over to Skylar.
" I feel so stupid," I said after being silent. Skylar gave me a confuse look.
"I should have not say it," I said, looking down at my hands.
My heart aches as I remembered the look on Louis's face. The hurtful look. The look where you were so happy about your expectations but in the end, it all crashes down and the smile turns into frown.
" Tell me what happened, " Skylar said as she came beside me.
I told her. I did. She was like my second sister that I could count on.
" Let me ask you," She paused as she flicked the cigarette butt into the ashtray.
" Since when did you felt stupid for crushing someone's expectations? " She asked narrowing her eyebrows.
"Since when did you cared?" She asked. " Ms Faye, it's been like more than three years I know you because you are just one cold numb person except for the six months of sweet hell, but overall you don't give a fuck about anything unless if it's something or someone that really mean to you or unless you're falling for him, " Skylar said as her arms flailing around.
I thought about it for a minute. If that's the case, it means that I'm falling for Louis.
Oh God.
" So you're telling me that I'm actually falling for him and my feelings were not playing around, right? " I asked her as I placed both my hands over her shoulders.
"By observing the way you are," She looked at me from head to knee, well because I was kneeling on the couch.
" You are indeed," She smiled.
I let my hands off her and sat back. Hands over my face.
" But no matter what, follow you heart," Sge tapped on my thighs and stood up. Skylar collected the empty bottle beer and threw them away, cleaning up the lounge room a little.
" Well, don't sleep too late lady, we got school and you don't want to skip it, " Skylar said as she took her bag, indicating that she had to go.
"Will do and thank you anyways for tonight, I don't know what to do if I did not asked you to come,"I hugged her.
