Chapter 39 - I feel sorry for Seth

Zendaya just stared at me as if she was reading what I was thinking; then she raises her eyebrow

"Give me a reason why I should help you? You used Seth and now you're planning to use me too?" Zendaya stared into my eyes intently

She's right I just used Seth to make money and pay my debt in the bank how can she trust me and not use her? I just misinterpreted when she saved me

"Yeah you're right; I will do this alone in the first place I choose this" I should have stood up when she spoke

"You're not going to convince me? Answer my last question; do you love him? Do you love Seth?" She looked at me intently

"I—I-- -I like him.." I answered her question

I don't know I'm confused...

She stood up and took her bag

"Love is different from liking Seven, love is when you accept him completely, you accept his bad qualities and weaknesses, his past and present; that's love what's your heart feels, there comes from that.." She said while pointing her heart

I don't know what should I say before she left I heard what she said:

"I feel sorry for Seth.." Then she left the coffee shop

I'm already outside Seth's unit, I've been standing in here outside for a few minutes after Zendaya and I talked I went straight to the bar to get drunk; I'm a bit tipsy but I can manage

I went in and I saw Seth restless face while he was standing

"Hey! Where have you been? I keep calling you but you didn't answer my call, I even called Zendaya but cannot be reached" He said; he looks so worried

Why do I feel pain now that I look at him..

He walks toward me and he smelled me

"Hey! Are you drunk? I thought you two are going shopping?" He raised his eyebrow

"I—I—I'm sorry Seth.. I'm really sorry.." Tears dripped from my eyes

Anxiously he touched my face to see me

"What really happens? You can tell me, did you hurt? Why are you carrying?" He throws me questions

I just cried, how can I say the reason if he is the reason why I am like this

He hugged me tightly, which made me cry even more

"Ssshhhh it's okay, don't cry my Seven, I'm here" He comforts me

"Sorry, Seth—I'm really sorry.." I said repeatedly

I didn't notice that I fell asleep in his arms while crying..

I woke up by the ring of the phone so I looked at the side table to see who was calling, I saw that it was Seth's phone, and only now did I notice that he was next to me who was currently sleeping, I turned my gaze back to his phone and saw Celine calling

I check the clock and it says three o'clock in the morning, what does she needs and calling this time?

I slide the answer call and put the phone to my ear

"Hello? Seth, I've been calling you many times but why didn't you answer?" She said on the other line

"Who will answer your call if you call at this time? Even the morning chicken is still on the sleep Celine" I said

"Wait! Who are you? Why did you answer his phone? Where is he? And how did you know me?" She had a lot of questions

"I will hang up now, call him tomorrow," I said and end the call

I turned to the bed and I saw Seth looking at me while leaning on the headboard of the bed

"Ahh—ahh—Celine called, I already answered because it might disturb your sleep" I hesitate to say

I handed him his phone when he held my hand so I sat down next closest to him

"Tell me what happens Seven? Why are you crying earlier?" He looked at me as if he was reading what I'm thinking

Shall I tell him the truth?

What if he gets angry?

What if I lose him? What will I do?

He will still give me this attention when he finds out about the contract?

But I need to face the consequences of my action, I need to tell him

*Ring ring ring ring*

I would have told him when his phone suddenly rang, he answer the call but he still looking at me while playing with the strands of my hair; he loved playing with my hair he always do that

"Later? Okay I will come early" I heard him say to the person he was talking to, and he hang up his phone

"Who is that?" I asked, maybe Celine is the caller again; that girl tss—

"It's Zendaya, she wanted me to come in early later, she talked to the president of our school about the special activity of the student council and he agreed to hold the activity later" So that was Zendaya

I feel guilty again not only for Seth but also for Zendaya in fact she can tell Seth but she prefers to keep quiet, maybe I should confess to Seth after the special activity

Whatever Seth's decision I will accept it, I just hope he doesn't hate me for what I did

I looked at him and hugged him; it was the first time I initiate the hug, I hug him tightly and close my eyes..
