INT. Jenn's Cafe
I spent the entire evening at Jenn's Cafe. I didn't even bother going back to my apartment to change. I'm so heartbroken. Two of the most important people in my life betrayed me. Stabbed me a million times. I cared for them but they just played me for a fool.
Thank God, Aunt Jenn is there for me when I needed someone I trust to comfort me since my mom lives hours away from me.
I fixed my makeup in the restroom and texted Daisy and Lucas separately, reminding them to be at Jenn's at 7 pm.
Since Aunt Jenny reserved the entire cafe just for me, this is the perfect place for the surprise. I can't wait to see what their reactions will be.
It's almost 7 pm now. I'm just waiting for them to arrive. I prepared the gift I got Lucas and put it next to his seat. Their meals have been served on the table. This will be their last meal with me. I don't plan on getting involved in their lives anymore.
A few minutes later, Lucas arrived first. He leans in to kiss my lips but I dodge and he kissed my cheek instead.
He furrowed his eyebrows. "Did I do something, wrong baby? Why are you trying to avoid my kiss?"
"I wasn't trying to avoid it, I just don't want you to ruin my lipstick. Don't you see I'm fully makeup today?" I replied, faking a smile at him.
"Uh, sorry babe. Didn't see it clearly because the lighting here is a bit dimmer than usual, " he said, slightly forming a smile at me.
He looked around the cafe and noticed that there was nobody else there except for the two of us and a few of Jenn's employees. "No wonder it's so quiet here. No one else came to eat here?" he asked, while still standing beside me.
"I reserved the entire cafe for our date tonight, babe. It's a special day today, don't you remember?" I replied, entwining our hands and slowly walking towards "our table".
I let go of Lucas's hand and he got seated. "Aren't you gonna sit babe?" he asked, looking at me.
"I'll join you in a jiffy. Right now I'm waiting for your gift to arrive, " I replied, turning my back at him and started to walk toward the entrance.
Before I could even reach the entrance, Daisy has arrived. I grabbed her wrist and bring her towards the table where Lucas is seated.
He raised his eyebrows. "Babe? I thought this was a date. Why is Daisy here and where's my gift? he asked in confusion.
Daisy, who's already looking confused, just followed me from behind. As we arrive, I asked Daisy to sit on the chair opposite to Lucas but she hesitates.
"Daisy dear, " I sighed. "Don't be a bitch and SIT DOWN, " I raised my voice.
She was stunned. She immediately sits down.
The atmosphere in the cafe becomes tensed. Everyone is quiet for a moment. Daisy opened her mouth as she was about to say something but nothing comes out.
"Before you guys even start speaking, let me talk, " I said, leaning on the wall behind me. Their eyes are set on me like an eagle ready to catch their prey. "The reason I brought the two of you together is that I wanted to clear things up, but before I do, babe, your birthday present is in the paper bag beside you." I pointed at his gift.
He turned his head to the side to look at the paper bag.
"What's this all about Ry?" Daisy suddenly asked.
"Yeah babe, what's going on?" Lucas asked.
I ignored them. I don't want to look at their face because it reminds me of their sex scene from earlier today. I closed my eyes and let out a sigh. I return my gaze to them.
"First of all Lucas Bauer, don't you ever call me babe ever again. And secondly, you, Daisy Wright, you and I are not friends anymore, " I said, trying to prevent my tears from going down.
"WHAT?" they said in unison. "Why babe?"
"I said stop! Don't f*cking call me that, " I replied, almost sounding like I'm screaming. "Stop all this bullshit. I can't stand this anymore. I tried to be calm but you guys, oh you guys really let the volcano erupt, " I said angrily.
They both looked at each other. "You guys are disgusting. I can't believe I still want to see both of your disgusting lying fake faces, " I shook my head. Tears are starting to stream slowly down my cheek.
Both of them just stayed silent. At some point, I knew they already foresee what I'm talking about.
I took my phone out, opened my gallery, and click on the video I took. I placed my phone on the table.
Their eyes widened. "Speechless?" I said with a smirk.
Daisy started to cry. "Rylee..., " "Babe, this..., " Lucas interrupted.
"Stop. I don't want to hear any of your excuses or explanations. We're done, " I said, my voice is trembling. "I can't believe you guys have been doing this behind my back. Out of all the men, why Lucas, Daisy? I'm hurt. You guys really hurt me. Our relationship and friendship end here, right now. I don't ever wanna be associated with you guys anymore, " I declared.
I took my phone from the table and started walking towards the exit. Before I leave, I turned around to faced them one last time and said, "Happy Birthday, Lucas. Enjoy your gift. Daisy is all yours now." Raising my middle finger to them and stormed out of the cafe.
I know Lucas will go after me so I quickened my steps and get in my car quickly. Before he could even reach my car, I drove off.
What a painful way to end the night.
