Chapter 33: Alone

Faith’s P.O.V

“So…you often stay alone?”

David’s sudden question caught me off-guard. “Huh?”

I placed my pen down and stretched my arms above my head, giving a break to my aching muscles. I’ve been at this for quite some time now. Hopefully, after this week, I would finally be done with catching up on all my previous assignments and go back to working normally.

That would mean having more time to hanging out with Debby and Nik and going to the movies with them as well as going out to the shopping mall and the beaches, like we’ve been planning to do all this time.

“I asked if you have to stay alone quite often, at home I mean.” David gave me a small smile. “I heard you talking to your friend this afternoon…sorry. It’s alright if you don’t want to answer.”

Him placing the question like that made me feel a bit uncomfortable. Was it really a big deal if I tell him that I’ll be home alone or not?

“No…it’s…” I stuttered a little. “Just tonight. I don’t usually stay alone.”
