Mia’s POV
Phone Call
The clock that hangs on the wall is the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes, I’m a little dizzy, I touched my head and sit on my bed leaning my back on the pillow. I can still remember what happened last night, that perverted man kissed me and I was slapped by his girlfriend. That was so embarrassing! He really freaks me out.
I hate that man because he stole my precious first kiss, I don’t want to see him again. I will let him pay if ever we met. Just if. I shake my head. Stop thinking about his mind, focus.
I rise up from the bed and went to the bathroom to clean myself. I changed into black sleeveless and blue short shorts, I dried my hair and went down.
I passed to the living room and I saw Kelly lying on the sofa, her hands are at her stomach and her feet are put at the top of the armrest. She’s still wearing the dress she wore last night, I’m glad I still manage to change my clothes even though I’m drunk. I went to the kitchen to get water with lemon and I drink it to help remove my hangover. I also made a glass of water for my friend, put it on the table. “Ell, wake up.” I poke her cheek, “Please, give me 5 more minutes to sleep.” She said in a lazy tone but she opened her eyes in excitement and sat up on the sofa gesturing for me to sit beside her. “What was really happened last night?” I have no choice but to tell her what happened that night, she looks shocked and amused. “How was it? She paused then continued “Do you like the kiss?” she said, totally mesmerized by everything. I feel the heat on my face, “It’s not cool, okay? He’s a pervert!” I muttered. “drink this, it helps you recover from a hangover” I command her as I gave her the glass.
She did what I told, then gave me a glance “Don’t try to change the subject, Is he a good kisser? I saw him, he's pretty handsome” she teased as she put the glass on the table. “I don’t know! And. I.do not. Like.Him.” I said angrily, she hold my both hands, then looks into my eyes and say “Dear, you have to move on. You have to forget about the past, you’re the most amazing girl I met. Many guys will accept who you are and love you forever. Believe me, all you have to do is to open your heart.” I can feel her sincerity for me, it's just that I’m not yet ready. I’m still in pain, tears are shedding in the corner of my eyes but I hold it. I gave her a smile, showing my cute dimples. I release my hands to hers “Thank you for your advice” I tap her shoulder and look at her innocently, I continued “I want to give you a piece of advice too. You better hurry now, your manager is about to pick you up today. I guess you have a PHOTOSHOOT.” I remind her, she suddenly stands up and ran quickly upstairs. I laugh at her until the tears fall through my cheek, I wipe it away.
Her manager, James Monroe phone me this early telling me that he needed Kelly to work right now. He even told me that it’s a big company, as if I care, haha. I feel bad for my friend, she has to force herself to work this weekend just because of her demanding manager.
I heard the horn of the car coming from the outside, I know it was James. Oh, stupid James. He’s always stealing my friend from me. I saw Kelly running down the stairs wearing her yellow sundress, heels, and sunglasses, then she went out of my house, waving her hands to me. Great! I’m alone again. I sat on my sofa, turn on the television and watch Netflix while eating my favorite macaroons. My phone beep, I looked at the screen to see who texted me, it -- was Alex.
From Alex:
Hey Mia, How are you? It's been weeks but I haven’t heard anything from you. Hope you’re doing good. JJJ
The moment I’ve read the message, my phone slipped on my hand and fell on the floor. I felt mixed emotions.
Tears are traitor, it roll down on my face. I wanted to reply to him and say I’m not okay, I’m hurt. I wanted to blame him, but he made this thing cleared on me before. All I can blame is myself and I can’t ruin his happiness just because I was in pain right now.
I cried a lot until it went blank, I fell asleep on the sofa.
I’ve made myself busy every day, I was always in rush even on weekends. I tried to divert my mind to other things just to forget about him.
Days had passed by, I couldn’t notice that it’s been months. Kelly is always there for me, she enlightens my mind to move forward and never look back. As for Alex, he kept texting me but I restrain myself from.
One night, I was sleeping soundly when my phone ring. I pick up the call, Who would call me at this time?
“Hello” a husky voice of a man greeted me, I was shocked, my presence went awaked, I missed him so much.
“A-Alex?” I stuttered. “How are you? I’ve texted you every day but you didn’t message me back.” He said in a worried tone, “I-I’m good. I’m sorry but I-I’m b-b-busy” I answered as I walked through the window and look up at the sky. “Did you wear your pajamas and sweater? I know you are cold.” He said worriedly, “Yes.” I answered.
Why are you so sweet? I can’t help but fall all over again. No! I need to stop this crazy feeling. Someone already owns him. I clasped my right chest.
“Sorry to bother you at this time, I wanted to tell you I care for you. You are dear to me, tell me if you need anything. If I have time, I’ll bring you here and we’ll explore Paris. I can be your tour guide.” He said. “O-okay,” I said in a low tone “Go back to sleep now. Goodnight!” He hung up the call, I put my phone on the top of my drawer and go back to bed.
I flipped my body back and forth on the bed, but I can’t sleep. I sat down in the bed, turn the radio on and try to sleep again.
