Kaia was busy for days as she was preparing for the party when Naomi called her. "Hey Kai! Can I drop by to see the updates of the party?" Naomi asked. "Definitely. I'll wait for you." Kaia said and chuckled. "Great! See you!" Nao said and dropped the call.
Kaia looked at the picture in her table. It was a picture of her and Lucio. She took the picture and smiled at it. "Oh Lucio, how can I ever tell you that it's not you?" she asked as she caressed the photo she was holding.
"Hello there— oh my. Having a drama?" Naomi suddenly bursted out, she stopped and leaned on the doorway. "No, I was— I'm fine. Have a seat." Kaia laughed. Naomi chuckled and walked towards the sofa. Kaia went there as well, holding the folders she's about to show Naomi.
"So, here we have a hall of a five star hotel. It is known to accomodate—" Naomi stopped Kaia by closing the folder she was holding. Naomi smiled at Kaia, "Do you love him Kai, or if love is too much, do you like him?" she asked. Kaia sighed, "He's smart, grumpy at times but he's sweet—" Kaia was cut when Naomi spoke again. "Sweetheart, none of that answered my question." she smiled. Kaia chuckled, "Of course, I do." she lied.
Of course she doesn't. Because if she does, she'll probably never hesitate about anything at all, she'll be more than willing to bet her heart on him. "Uhuh, tell me love, how often do you tell that lie?" Naomi asked and raised her eyebrow at Kaia. Kaia chuckled, "I am not lying Nao." She said. "Yeah right, keep fooling yourself hun, goodluck with that." Naomi said laughing.
Naomi crossed her arms and legs, "Kaia, whenever I see your cousin Kairo, my heart skips a beat, does your heart do the same when you see Lucio? I'm worried sick for him everytime he's not around. I'm pissed when he doesn't take care of himself well. Now tell me love, are we on the same page?" Kaia stopped and thought, of course not. She never felt any of those with Lucio.
"Sweet heart, if you're not in love with him, let him go. You deserve more the same way he does. Do not trap yourself or him into a loveless romance, come on sweetheart, you know better than that." Naomi smiled at Kaia and stood up. She grabbed her bag and smiled. Kaia stood up as well, Naomi held her hands, "Kaia, love, you're smart. So please do what smart people does. Also, I'll leave everything to your decision, like I said, surprise me." Naomi said and left the office
Kaia that day, did not accept any visitor, she needed time to think for everything was too much to consume. She spent her hours finalizing the details of the said party. Time by time, Lucio bothers her mind but she shrugs it off. Night came quickly and she decided to go home, she took another glance at the photo she was holding earlier, "Oh Lucio, you placed your bet on a bad girl." She said, sighed, and shook her head.
