(Magnus Haven #2) Bad Life, Bad Love (COMPLETED)

Chapter 18

"Freya.." pagtawag niya sa pangalan ko.

I'm not crying because I miss him, I'm crying because I can't believe what I just saw! This can't be true! This can't be real! I have no against with LGBT+ community but damn, they are both straight!

Ian's confused and shocke were still on me. He was about to come closer pero mabilis na akong lumabas ng shop. I know I shouldn't run because I'm inquiring a sandals and it's rude to leave her with nothing but how am I supposed to focus when they are around!

I managed to run far awat from them even though my eyes are blurry. I looked behind and saw nothing but blur. Mukha na akong tanga sa kakatakbo but they don't know what I just saw!

Akala ko nakalayo na ako kaya tumigil ako sa pagtakbo when someone grabbed me from my arms. And I know whose and it is belong. I wiped my tears off and tried to remove his hand from me.

"Freya.." After how many months, after that talk outside our company, he said my name again. "It's not what you think.."

Inalis ko ang kamay niya at lumayo sa kaniya. Hindi ako makapaniwala na tumingin sa kaniya. My mind is in haywire. Hindi ko alam kung magiging masaya ba ako na nakita ko siya, should I be sad that I saw him with someone o magagalit dahil may kasama siyang lalaki na mukhang sila pa?!

"I don't judge you, Ian.." I said. "I never judged you but.."

"But what?" He fix his hair, it's mess because of chasing me. "Freya... You told me I deserved someone better, right?"

I casually nod my head. "I can tell you're lying that you don't judge me.."

I looked away and bit my lip. "Can we talk?" He asked but I never answered.

"Where's you're boyfriend?" That made me look at him. I'm expecting him to look furious or jealous but all I can see from him is delight and happiness. "Masaya ako na napapasaya ka niya, Frey.. I learned my mistakes, I've been a shit to you.."

Natutop bigla ng sasabihin ko. "We need closure, Frey.. Can we talk?"

I was about to answer but I stopped when I hear one familiar voice behind Ian. My heart stopped for a while when I saw it's Sander. Sinundan iyon ni Ian ng tingin at lumayo kaunti sa akin.

Sander spotted us and mabilis na tumakbo papalapit sa akin. Nagpalit-palit ng tingin sa aming dalawa habang ako ay hindi maipaliwanag ang saya at gulat pa rin sa loob ko.

"Freya.." He said in his strong accent. "How are you?"

I can't take it anymore. I quickly pulled him into me and hugged him the best way I can. All I know is I miss him so much, even though we only bonded for a short span of time and even though I'm shocked to what I saw.

"I'm expecting that you'll be disgusted to what you just saw." He said that when I broke the hug I made. I laugh a little bit.

"Why would I?" I managed to clear my throat. Nagulat ako nang punasan niya ang luha sa mata at pisngi ko. "I was just.. shocked.."

Hinila niya si Ian palapit sa kaniya. He put his arms in his shoulders. Ian punched Sander's waist because of that. "I'm also expecting that from you.. I'm not wrong with that.."

Bumaba ang tingin ko. I saw the shop's name into that. What did he bought? Napansin nila ang pagbaba ng tingin ko. "Ah. I bought this since you walk out that shop." He laughed and handed it to me.

I squeezed his hand. "Damn you."

"I'm just being true. If you just saw how shocked that saleslady were, it'll will guilt you to death." Tumawa nanaman siya. "So I bought it instead."
