After my talk with Ziko earlier during lunch, I have felt like a heavy burden was lifted off my shoulders. It was a closure. I could now consider starting something serious with Milo. This was the reason I kept running away from situations that might lead me into starting something him.
"Are you not going home now?" Laila asked as she waited for me in front of my desk. Others were also getting ready to leave.
"I am. But I have somewhere to go to first," I answered.
I had also told Milo not to bother waiting for me after work today. He must have thought that this was because I still found it awkward to be with him. I did not tell him about my plans with Mia.
"Okay then," Laila said. Before she could leave, Mia walked in.
I thought we were just going to meet at the eatery. Did she want us to go together?
"Oh I see," Laila smiled and Mia smiled back at her.
