Stella's POV
Carla is here again in Alice's condo unit. And as usual, she's cooking again. She already likes to stay and cook here in Alice's condo. As a matter of fact, who doesn't want to live in this luxurious condo?
"Hey, Stella, taste this cupcake I made," Carla said.
"Okay, it looks like you did a good job."
"Of course, it's me! Soon to be a famous chief."
"What are you going to do with those cupcakes?"
"I'll give it to someone."
"A gift? For whom? "
"For my boyfriend."
"What? Do you have a boyfriend? Why don't I know that? "
"You're not asking me."
"Yea, you are right. Where did you meet him? "
"At school, we are in the same class. So, we became close friends until he confessed his feelings to me which is I also have feelings for him. So, we decided to level up our relationship. "
"Oh, that's nice. I am happy for you, Carla. How long you've been dating already? "
"Almost a month already."
"Aw, that's nice. I hope the relationship between you two lasts. Next time, introduce him to me."
"Sure, maybe next week. On-campus, I will introduce him to you. "
"That's great. I want to know the one who captivated your heart. "
"That's funny, Stella. By the way, how's the taste of my cupcake? "
"Taste good as always. You are the best cook and baker I have ever known. "
"Aw, you're so sweet, Stella. By the way, how are you and Mr. handsome? "
"What? We don't have a relationship so I don't know what he's doing. And lately, I don't see him coming out of his condo. I don't know if he has left his condo already. "
"Oh… I smell something fishy. You have no relationship but you care? Sounds interesting. Looks like you already missed him. Maybe he was just busy with his work. You said he was a rich guy; he was probably busy with lots of things. "
"I don't care about him or what he does! Okay!"
"Chill, Stella. You are very defensive. I am just saying. "
I immediately turned back to Carla and went back to the couch. Luca stepped on my lap. While the two cats were sound asleep on the couch. I don't know why I reacted so quickly about it.
"Are you okay, Stella?"
"Yes, I am fine."
"Oh, okay, all of a sudden you're in a different mood."
"No, maybe just tired."
"Oh, okay. Don't think too much of that. Maybe… it's not another woman."
"What? Other women? Do you think he has another woman? "
"I don't know… maybe, those rich people are like that. They like to take turns with women and they don't know how to take a relationship seriously. "
"How can you say that?"
"I've met a lot of rich people and that's what I've noticed. There are guys dating two women at the same time. I think that's just normal for rich people. For them, money can buy happiness. So, be careful with your neighbor who is not far away like everyone else. "
I stared at Carla while caressing Luca in my lap. I also suddenly thought of what Carla had said. In fact, why would he waste time with someone like me when there are so many women chasing him and then, he already has all the qualities of a man so it is not difficult for him to find another woman. Maybe he already has a girlfriend and isn't just telling me.
"Oh, you think so deep, Stella. Don't tell me you're in love with that man already?"
"Of course not. Why should I fall in love with that man? I know the difference in our status in life. "
"Okay, that's good to know. Because I don't want to hurt you in the end. Those like them, will not waste time for those like us. I'm warning you, Stella, don't ever fall in love with him, once you fall in love… you don't know if he will be able to return the love you gave to him. "
No words came out of my mouth. Carla was right, for Sebastian it was just a big game. But what should I do? If I feel like I've fallen for him. I suddenly looked at Luca because he suddenly meowed at me.
"Are you hungry Luca? Just a moment and I'll get you something to eat. "
I went to the kitchen to get cat food. Suddenly, I looked at the calendar hanging in the kitchen. I suddenly remembered Ms. Alice. There's only a week left and she's going home and everyone will be back. My old life will return and I will never see Sebastian again. I think it's even better at least I can still forget him.
I came back with the cat food for Luca. I laid it down near the couch.
"Luca, come here. Here's your food. "
Luca approached and looked at his food but he did not taste it.
"What's wrong Luca? Don't you want your food? "
He meowed at me again and brought his body close to my leg.
"Is there a problem, Luca?" I asked with concern.
"Maybe she wants something else, Stella," Carla said.
"So, what is it?"
"I don't know. You're the one who studying Veterinary. You should the one who knows. "
"Luca looks fine tho. He doesn't seem to be in pain and he was fine a while ago… I don't know why he suddenly became like that. "
"Maybe he wants something else. Maybe he wants milk or something. "
"He already drinks milk earlier so that's impossible."
"So, what will you do? How is that now? "
"Maybe he will be fine later. I'm sure Ms.Alice will be mad at me once she knows this."
"As you said, Luca will be fine later. So, don't worry about it, Stella. "
I just smiled and nodded to Carla while caressing Luca.
