Chapter 12 - a move from the past

"Ella are you avoiding me" Marcia said

"Excuse me boss but we are not even friends for you to say that you're my boss how can I avoid you" she said and left

They went back to being strangers,

Manuel proposed to Ella and she accepted

"I guess you were never mine to begin with" Marcia said after finding out and he congratulated her

He took a week off and he met someone

His car collided with this woman and it was her fault

"Oh sir this is just a small scratch your boss seems rich aren't you ashamed of asking a girl to pay for the damages" she said and the driver told Marcia he got out of his car and

The moment the girl saw her

"Wait Eli? Eli Marcia Garcia?" She said

"Do you know me?"

"Of course" she said and hugged him

"I miss you" she added

"Excuse me who are you"

"Bridget your high school crush, I was crushing on you so much" she said

"Ain't you shy saying that"

"Why would I? Have you seen yourself in the mirror you're my dream man" she said

"Bridget but I don't know you"

"You won't remember because you talked to me once in our whole years at high school, you helped me when someone stole the 20% of my remaining school fees you promised to pay and told me to wait for you, you kept your promise that money was probably your pocket money but to me it was an opportunity to a better future, I had no hope after it was stolen but you helped me and I was grateful I never got the chance to say thank you because you were unapproachable. It's either you allow that person or she did" Bridget said

He tried to remember but he couldn't but he was glad she remembered him from high school and his friend remembered him from college

"Don't try to remember, it's ok" she said and he said sorry

"What are you doing he?" She asked

"For rest" he said

"Can I see you again" she asked and he gave her his number and left she was so happy

Bridget had a crush on him but couldn't approach him, he was from a wealthy family and she was even struggling to go through school so she stayed away but then fate happened and he talked to her and was helpful she was happy and gave her hope

Maybe she stood a chance but that was the only time he looked her way

"It's ok let me do all the crushing, one day maybe I can get close to you" she said and now maybe she had that chance now

She was very happy.

At night she called his number and her call came at the right time he was in a deep thought and it wasn't good

"This is Bridget, my car crashed into yours earlier today" she said

"Why are you explaining"

"In case you forgot" she said

"Anyways what should I do for you" he asked he wasn't in a good mood

"I was just trying your number to see if it was original"

"If you don't trust me then you shouldn't have asked for it" he said

"Sorry but I am so happy to see you again"

"Ok then talk to you later" he said

"Ok but you look more handsome and mature wow my heart was literally melting when I saw you"

" really?"

"Yes I need to tell you in case we never talk again or meet again" she said and hang up and he just happened to grin and seemed a little confused

She called early in the morning again and was talking too much but he wasn't complaining because his mind was shifted from his usual thoughts and he had nothing to do

She was a goofy person and she was a happy girl who loves spreading happiness but doesn't know. He found his smile again and that week was refreshing, he got a new friend and this one was funny

He looked refreshed to some of the workers,

One day he called Bridget

"Are you ok?" She asked

"Why?"

"You called me first and that's usually my position" she said

" where are you" he asked he wanted to take her out

"I am looking for a job" she said

"What about your previous job"

"I was laid off today" she said

"Hey why did you call?" She asked

And he was quiet

"Ok can we have food later on, I will call you" she said and hang up, he wasn't sure how to feel
