XI: Confessions

Samantha stared blankly on the ground, speechless of what I just told her.

"How did you know about that night?"

She looked back at me, looking nervous.

"I dreamt about it, the night you crashed. I heard the things you said."

"What exactly did you hear?"

She asked me immediately, I hesitated to answer. I took a deep breath, calmed myself and then I answered

"You kept on yelling "please come back" and you said you regretted about not telling me......"

I paused 'cause I didn't know how to say it.

"Regretted telling you what?"

I blushed as I said it to her suddenly

"You regretted not telling me you loved me"

She got confused, as she stared blankly at me

"I don't remember saying it that night. Are you sure it was me you dreamt of?"

I also got confused. Maybe it was just some sort of dream I fantasised. Probably the effect of being single for so long.

"Well, I probably made the wrong assumption."

I told her as I held the back of my head. I guess that was a long-shot for me. After that talk we had I then said goodbye.

"Goodbye Andrei, thanks for today. Sorry for bothering you. I'll see you tomorrow!"

"Yeah, I'll see you then."

As I walked back a guy was leaning on the post-light right across the street. It was Joshua, as I approached him he then said

"Real-slick Mr. Romantic."

"Hey! You were eavesdropping weren't you!"

I shouted at him, he then Karate-chopped my head and said

"You're so noisy. Samantha might hear us dummy."

I tried to massage my head that hurt. I then said

"Why'd you have to do that dude? That hurt"

"It's because of that mouth of yours. I was following you. Thinking that you were going to finally ask a woman on a date."

My eyes widened as I was going to say something but he immediately interrupted

"I was going to......"

"But you had to go and mess things up with that lame question."

I stopped as he said that and I just stared blankly to him

"I still wonder why you didn't make a move on her in our previous life dude. I mean, Samantha really did like you before. It was so obvious."

I stared at him and asked

"What do you mean?"

He turned to me surprised, with a look of disgust

"Ehh?! Don't tell me you didn't realise it?! Dude it was so obvious. She was head over heels for you!"

I stared at him as confused as I can be, he face palmed himself and said

"This is the reason you were such a loner before."

"Hey, I had you guys. I was not a loner."

I defended myself, he dropped his hands and told me

"Did you ever have a wife? Or a girlfriend maybe? No, I don't think so."
