Sudden Change

Chapter 7

Shayne POV

"You are really staying there? Dude, that's great!"

"Ah-huh... you think so?"

"Of course, haven't you remember how you always talked about her? Dude, this is your chance to tell her what you're feeling to her."

"I think that's not gonna happen."

"Oh come on, don't be like that! You can tell her now if you want."

"She doesn't want to listen to me. And she already rejected me. There's no point---"

"Hey, hey, hey. That's not the Shayne I knew. You're the one who told me 'if I wanted to, there's a way.' that's the reason I married my wife."

"Our situation aren't the same Damien. The reason why the two of you got married, Kimmy love you and you love her. Courtney doesn't even want me."

"But you are there Shayne. Don't tell me you are giving up now? Bro, you spent your 7 years working really hard and managed to graduate, you've said that it was for her. Just tell her, if she doesn't want to hear it, make her."

"You know it is easy to say that, but in reality? It's hard. And I don't want the things between us got worse even more." I stand up and went to the kitchen.

"Stop with your excuses. You love her, you just--"

"Oh, hey Courtney, good morning. Didn't saw you passing by." I saw her making her coffee. She just look at me and nod.

"Can you put this on loudspeaker?"

"And why would I do that?"

"If you can't tell her, I wi---"

"I'll talk to you later." And I ended the call.

"You're early." I said and somehow didn't know what to do.

"Yeah, Zayne have school today, need to prepare for his food. And I see, you still haven't changed? Still wakes up before the sun rises."

My lips smile on its own.

Atleast, she still remember something about me.
Oh, Zayne is going to school today.

"You need help?"

"For packing Zayne's food? I'm sure I can do that alone." She said without looking at me busy stirring the coffee.

I straightened my stance, didn't know how to response.

"Y-yeah.. I-..ahmm. *eherm* I think, I better be in the li--"

I felt happy when she say

"But you can help me making breakfast. Come here, you can have this, I'll just make another."

I walk toward her with a smile that I'm trying to hide from her.

Once I'm close to her.

"Are you sure? I can make min--"

"Are you gonna accept it or n--"

"Of course I wil-- ouch."

Of course the mug is hot,
What are you thinking Shayne!

I supposed to feel the pain, but just seeing and hearing her laugh, the burn feels nothing.

"There's a purpose why they make a handle for mugs, you need to hold it there." She said with a smile.

"What can I do? You make me dumb, I can't help it."

Her eyes widened and look at the doorway before to me.
