Frozen Fire

Chapter 43

NOTE: Hello! I just want to say that this story only has 2 chapters and an epilogue left so yeah hehe :) Also, I noticed a lot of errors and inconsistencies in this book and I really wanna edit them but I want to finish the entire book first before editing so bear with that muna hihi (this chapter is also unedited hehe). Also, this chapter has 4.5k words ey! Safe to say that it is very eventful and a LOT of questions may arise. All I could say is, trust me ;) 

Anyway, enjoy reading!

Chapter 43

The Decision

"Safira, I know I'm not the best person to ask love advices from, but I think you should sit down for a while, have a cup of chamomile tea, and think about it further," Doll said from the other line. She sounded worried and unsure.

"Doll is right, Saf. I don't think you should decide this early. Besides, don't you wanna hear his side first?" Elle suggested.

I crossed my legs and propped my arm on my vanity table. Napahalumbaba ako habang nakatingin sa aking sarili sa salamin.

"It has been days, Saf." Elle said, just as uncertain as Doll.

"You need to calm down," she added. The side of my lips lifted, ever so slightly, in amusement.

"I am calm," I responded, bored. I examined my nails and thought of what color I should put on it. Beige? Pink? White?

What would suit a chignon and a light-colored gown?

"You are way too calm," Elle pointed out and went on to say, "It's scaring me."

A smirk broke free from my face.

"I am always this way, Elle. What are you on about?" I asked, amused. I lifted my gaze from my nails and unto the bouquet of red roses that were on my table. It had a note on it which had the simple words, please talk to me, love. Napailing ako nang mabasa ko iyon.

He sent that a day after I shooed him away. He was just outside my house. I can see his car's headlights from my terrace despite the curtain covering it. He was making his presence known but still making sure he was not crossing the line.

He was outside, in his car, while I cried in my room. I cried so hard I never thought I'd last a day without crying my heart out. Rage, pain, jealousy, confusion, sadness. All of which were too strong and my heart couldn't handle all of it.

He could easily climb up the wall to my room. He could easily do what he normally does and break the rules. My room isn't that high up and he's Phoenix. He can do anything if he wants to.

But he didn't.

I was thankful he didn't

But a part of me wanted him to. A part of me wanted to see whether he'd be the same Phoenix I knew. The guy who would stop at nothing for the girl his girl.

He did this for days. He would be outside the porch at 8PM on the dot and would leave past midnight. He has sent me flowers and chocolates and everything I could think of. He was using material things to appease me. He even bought me shoes.

But he never went near me. He tried calling me once but that was it.

Hindi ko alam kung may pinaplano siya, kung anong balak niya sa buhay. All I know is that I don't care enough to know.
