Elanie's pov
It's been three days since the last time I saw him its been three days since that night we have the talk that leads on me telling him to leave me alone and it's been three days that I didn't manage to stop thinking about him .
His been on my mind sometimes I end seeing his face in some of our costumers and I'm telling you it's not funny at all I mean how is it fun to feel embarrassed when you end up just looking at your costumers face for some time.
I've been hearing a lot of advices on Kael about it I mean he always end up watching me doing as I embarrassed myself.
" Hey El! El?? " I got startled hearing Kael's voice beside me.
"hmmm what ? what is it?" I said as I put down the cup on my hands. I've been keeping the used cups for the day while he do the accounting on his counter. His been talking to me about tomorrow's promos for our costumers as we celebrate the anniversary of the shop.
In the middle of our conversation I got lost on my thoughts .
" I've been calling you for the nth time already you're out of it AGAIN" he did make it clear to give emphasis to the word again for it happens often this past three days.
" I'm really sorry Kael. I think what you already plan for tomorrow is good and well what am I supposed to do?" I whispered the last words I really ,really hate myself right now,I mean disappointed about how I'm acting . I always messed up and I'm telling you it's frustrating because I've never felt like this before ever since I learned to love my new life with my adopted father .
" You know what ? You really need to stop fooling yourself and accept the reality in order for you to continue" He said now looking at me straight to my eyes while saying that.
" What do you mean?" I ask in Confussion.
" I mean you have feelings for him , that's the reality so stop denying it . Embrace what you feel and go with the flow. If he comes around again let him be . Give him a chance and if he didn't show up again his not worth it that's when you start to move on amd live life just like how you really are" He said and shrug.
I sighed before saying " that's easy to say than done,but , you're right though. " He's right it's me who keeps on rejecting my own feelings that cause me to have all things mixed up in my mind.
" Okay then " I say and puffed some air out of my system to calm myself. " I'll do it. Let's have destiny or fate , whatever they call it to help me this time" I say and right their and then I made a decision . If he comes back let's give it a try if he won't then let's leave it just like that. I know it may sounds so unreasonable and very ideal or practical but its better this way .
Deep inside though I wish for us to be destined .
As we finished everything and make sure that our decorations are ready for tomorrow we closed the shop together.
Kael turns to me " I'll give you a ride home it's a bit late now " he said in a tone which no room for objection so I just smile and nod. Before we can reach his car I heard my name being called and my heart did skip a beat .
That's the voice I've been hearing inside my head.
" Hmm Ela? " Kael is giving me a taunting smile while looking at me with " here's the chance "look. I just look at him with my wide open eyes .
" Please can I give you a ride home and have a talk?" he said I sighed from hearing his gentle voice because I didn't turn around I can only hear his voice now I can clearly hear what he felt without looking at his face . The reality is in his voice the clarity of his intension . I take a deep breath before I turn to face him though I prepared myself to look at him .
When I saw his face my heart did a summersault . The way he looks at me with determined and hopeful eyes I know I can't never say no to that.
" Hmm I ... Okay?" I stiffly said after a while which makes him smile that smile that can catch every woman's heart , breathtaking indeed. So can you blame me for not believing in this dream like situation?
" Thank you" He said still smiling . He looks at Kael and I turn to look at him too with " I'm going" look.
" Yeah yeah " He said while looking at me then he looks at Randall and say" So , man please take care of she's quite stubborn " he said with a laugh " Kael" I exclaimed at him which makes him laugh with Randall. Whose friend of who? I would like to ask that but I just shake my head and can't stop myself to smile .
" I'll take care of her . Thank you" Randall said and they both nod at each other and Kael gives me a quick wave before getting on his car to leave.
I walk towards Randall's car with my racing heart as we look at each other. This felt so right but still the fear is still there somewhere inside me.
" Thank you for this . I know I may sound so sure of myself but I felt like this time you're willing to give me a chance by this" He said when I am near him . I gulp and I can feel the blood flash all over my face from the way he said it and with his smiling face at me.
" I.. You're welcome?" I answered questioningly in embarrassment , he chuckles before opening the car door to let me in and he walks around the car towards the drivers seat. He really does like driving even if he can have his own driver eh? I thought to myself.
To fill my curiosity before I can stop myself I did open my mouth to ask
" Don't you have a driver?" I ask after he starts the car he turns to look at me in a bit shock like look before grinning at me. I blushed and look outside the window .
" Sorry I'm supposed to not ask it out" I muttered he laugh a bit before saying " I just want to do it myself besides you'll be uncomfortable with someone else around" he said which surprised me because he really did consider my thoughts.
"Thank you" I muttered genuinely happy for his thoughtfulness.
I just hope I won't ruin this again cross fingers for that.
