"Hmmnn.... Who's calling me so early.." Cassie yawned and stretch her arms before reaching her phone at the side table. She swipe right to answer the call. "hmmn... H-hello??..."
"Hi Babe, good morning!.. How are you been doing?... It's been so long, you never contact me ever since we part ways... I was waiting the whole time." A voice of man asking with upsetting tone talking at her from phone.
"Rex?" Cassie drowsiness became fully awaken when she heard what the caller said.
"Waiting for me to reach over you?! Huh?! You are the guy, you should be the one who contacted me first!".Cassie angrily responded to him. " How dare him throw the blame on me!" She thought angrily. " What bad wind blows you to contact me?". She added irritably.
" I just missed you lot, babe. Is there any other reason for me to called you up?" Rex said in flirty way.
Cassie rolled up her eyes hearing what Rex says. She let out a deep sighs and asked." Is that so?" She get up in bed and grab her bathrobe and hang on her shoulder. She fixed her messy hair before coming down.
" Yes, babe. Here's the thing. Today is my birthday. Have you already forgotten?"
" Ohh... And?" Cassie frowned and put her robe on the chair and sat down facing her mom and step-dad eating their breakfast.
They both stared at Cassie with distain looks.
" Hey! Brush your teeth and wash your face first before grabbing your foods."Her mom scolded her.
" I'm done doing it mom." She said and talking back to Rex. " What do you want from me?" she asked coldly on Rex still on the line. And put some foods on her mouth.
" I want you to come on my birthday bash. Please love?" He acted cute on his tone, trying to convince her to come.
She think deeply and sighs. " Hmmp! Should I come or not?". After a few minutes of silence, she accepted his invitation. " Okay, send me the location and I will attend."
Rex feel relieve on her answered. " Okay love. I'll be waiting there. I'll send now the venue." He said and throw a kissed on the phone.
The couple in front of her curved their brows after hearing the sweet ending call. Cassie looked at them and turned her head down focusing on her own plate, her face turned red and feel ashamed on Rex gestured.
Her step dad glares, like a knife piecering right in her post. Cassie cleared up her throat and stand up leaving the dining room with her bathrobe on her hand.
Thereafter finishing up, her phone suddenly beeped and she looked at her phone. It was Rex texting her the party venue. " This is the last time, I will seeing him. I'll broke up with him and parted in good way." Cassie told herself and she choose a dress at her closet to wear later on the party.
Cassie arrived in the hotel where the party held. She asked the front desk attendant which room Rex rented and a man lead her way to the banquet.
Soon as the man opened the door, she stepped up in the room. There were already plenty of people inside and turned their head facing at the doorway and whispered on each other.
Cassie never let her self-esteem broke up on their malicious stares, for her attending this party has her own motive. She walked in and grab a glass of wine, her head keep looking everywhere to find Rex but she suddenly got shocked when Rex pop up all of the sudden and hug her at back.
" Jesus Christ! Rex! You startle me!" she got annoyed and throw a punch on his arm.
"Hehehe...Looking for me?" he sat beside her hand grab her hand and caressed it.
" No, I'm not.."
" Ehh.... Stopped denying it. You neck was like a giraffe searching for me around." Rex smile and teasing while stare at her beautiful and cute face.
" Cut the crap, Rex. Here, this is my present to you. Happy birthday." She said coldly and handed the gift over to Rex.
Rex was not happy sensing her aloofness towards him. He feel she got changed and acted coldly to him.
Cassie break the awkwardness and said." I came here to tell you that....." She paused for a while and continued. "We are officially done." And she stand up from the chair and about to leave but Rex hold her tightly on her hand.
" The party isn't started yet. Why leave so early?" Rex felt a bomb explode from his heart and acted like he heard nothing.
" There is no need for me to stay any longer, Rex. I'll take my leave now." She tried to removed his hand but he is too strong to make it.
" No, your not leaving until I say so." He firmly said towards her.
Cassie sighing sign for resignation. She sat back again and silently drink her wine.
