Heading back towards my room, I heard a familiar voice which came out
from the lobby‟s area. It‟s like Gabby‟s voice. But who is she arguing with? I
walk faster and to my surprise it was Gabby arguing with her ex.
“Gabby, what‟s wrong?‟‟ I intervene by grabbing her hand away from
Dexter, that lame guy
“Dude, mind your own business. I‟m still talking to her!” He confidently
said.
“Dexter, right? Well, it‟s nice to finally meet you…loser!”
After saying that, I throw a strong punch at him that made him sit on the
floor with his nose bleeding.
“Let‟s go Gab!” I said.
We headed towards my unit and there I slammed the door. I don‟t know
why he even gave a chance to talk to that useless person.
“What was that Gabby? Are really that stupid to still give him a chance to
come near you? Are you even thinking how he treated you the past few days
or maybe because you‟re still in love with him? Answer me!!!” I shouted
furiously.
I sat on the sofa after throwing up those words to her. I didn‟t hear any
single word for a moment. I know it‟s quite harsh but I think she deserves to
hear that.
Suddenly, she walks quietly towards my room and get something from my
closet. When she came out, she handed me a clean towel and my medicine
kit. By then, she walks into the kitchen and gets some ice cubes in the
fridge. I wasn‟t aware that I also got few cuts in the left side of my lips for
that small punch from him. She gently treated my cuts and put medicine on
it. I intently stare at her and never take my eyes off her. When she realized
that I‟m intently looking at her, there she began explaining her side.
“Sorry. It wasn‟t really my intention talking to him or even seeing him again
in person. I even changed my gym club knowing that there‟s a greater
chance I would bump into him again. I was on my way towards your unit
when I accidentally bump at him on my way there. I ignored him but he
started making a scene. With so much anger, I yelled back at him telling
him to stop talking to me. That‟s the time you‟ve seen us in the lobby‟s
room.” She explained.
“I‟m sorry. I overreacted. It‟s just that I can‟t tolerate that guy after what he
has caused to you. You‟re all that I have here and same as you. Who else
would care for you?” I said.
“No one.” She replied.
“See? It‟s only me and you helping each other here. That‟s why I can‟t close
my eyes and let that lame guy get near you again.” I comforted her.
She gave me a hug and diverted our conversation towards food. She‟s a total
food lover. Good for her she has a good metabolism that‟s why even she eats
much, she doesn‟t get fat.
She spent the night in my place and there we‟ve watch random movies until we both fall asleep. She took the left side of my bed just like the usual way
she would do.
Until now, I haven‟t told her about Dale and how I met her. She just knew
I‟m meeting someone at the moment. She‟s not really an intruder when it
comes to my relationships or some other girls I‟ve met. That‟s what I like
most of her. She just waited for me to open up to some matters and hear my
story.
But soon, I promised to myself that I would tell her about Dale. I know she
would freak out of unbelief. Right now, I‟m just too careful with my process.
I don‟t want to ruin everything I almost lost. She‟ll know it in time.
I reached for my phone in my bed side table and open my messenger. I read
some chats from my friend from the States and others are from my aunt
who is celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary in California. I just send
my wishes to them via chat. I was about to lock my phone when I decided to
chat Dale some goodnight messages. I know it‟s weird since I‟m still under
probation as a friend but this is what I want. I wasn‟t hopeful to receive a
reply from the message I sent but she sent me a smiley.
It was a goodnight for me.
