Harmony was dumbfounded.
She knew that she went below the belt. And, she just realized that when Drake threw her that question.
She stayed silent and looked outside of the car.
"Harmony, why are you that tactless? What if Drake do something because you called him a gay?" She said to herself.
She couldn"t help but feel mad at herself because of sometimes not thinking of what she was saying.
She bit her lips because of making their situation awkward.Silence filled in the car for the next couple of minutes. She knew that Drake just focused his eyes on the road when she didn"t answer.
"So, tell me, what were you doing back there? Who are you waiting for?" Drake suddenly asked as if nothing just happened a couple of minutes ago.
She turned to him and she saw that he was looking at her while the light was red.
"No one," she simply said as she was still feeling ashamed because of what she had said earlier.
"Okay, I thought you were waiting for your ex," he said and then he was not removing his gaze from her as if he was waiting for her reaction.
"No. He left me already," she said with bitterness in her voice. "He would not come back. I know Paul. if he didn"t like a thing, he would surely not like that again anymore," she added.
"But you are not a THING," Drake said and put emphasis to his last word.
"Yeah, right but I don"t think that"s going to happen," she said and for some reasons, she couldn"t hide the pain that she felt inside her heart even if she knew that she was talking to Drake.
She bit her lower lip when she realized that she was already talking too much.
"Hey, it"s okay. I think it's good to let out your emotions and your thoughts with a stranger," he said as if he was encouraging her to talk more.
Well, she knew that was what she needed. She hadn"t opened up everything yet to anyone though she did to her mom the day that Paul had broken up with her.
But the emotions she had the past few days, she had no one to talk to. Her mother had been very busy with her business and she didn"t want to bother her at all.
She let out a deep sigh. "Are you offering to listen to me or are you just trying to get information from me?" She couldn"t help but ask.
"Woaa. Such an accusation. I didn"t know that if you try to be kind, people will be thinking that way about you," Drake said in a sarcastic tone.
She knew that she couldn"t blame him. But, she didn"t know what his intention was either.
"Look, I am just returning the favor of what you have done for me the other night," he said.
She nodded.
"I could see that even if you say you are okay, your eyes say that you are still in pain," Drake said while still focusing on the road.
She didn"t know where they were heading.
"Thank you for the concern. I think this shall pass. I have been in a relationship with him for a couple of years and I never thought that day would even happen.
I thought that I would be with him forever. I thought that I would be spending the rest of my life with him, growing old with him," she said, full of emotions.
She felt like there was a sharp knife that stabbed her heart deeply.
Drake nodded to her and then looked at her as if saying he was listening."Would that really be possible? To wake up one day that you already fell out of love with someone?" She couldn"t help but ask the man.
"Are you really asking me?" Drake finally spoke.
"Yes, I want to know your answer."
"I think no. It"s not possible. I am thinking that he just reasoned that out and he already found someone new. In short, probably, he is already into someone else," Drake said straight to her face without beating around the bush.
And those words were like knives that slashed her heart.fight back her tears. "I tried to be the best girlfriend that I could. I tried to be understanding and give what he wanted. I tried —"
"Stop there, Harmony. The last thing you said, you gave what he wanted. That"s not right," he said. "He should be the one pampering you and not the one pampering him. Did it ever enter your mind that it was just a one sided relationship?" Drake cut her off in the middle of her words.
She was shocked with what Drake had said.
Harmony didn"t know how to answer his question.
"He always says I love you and all to me, Drake. So, I don"t know. My mind is in turmoil right now," she said as she couldn"t stop the questions that started to pop up in her mind after all the things that Drake said to her.
What if it was really a one sided relationship and Paul never really loved her at all? But why would Paul lie to her?
These were some of the questions inside her mind which she didn"t know what to answer.
Drake had points but she couldn"t deny that those questions were just adding burnt to the pain that she was feeling.
Though she must admit that she was impressed with the way that the man was thinking.
"Even I can say that I love you, Harmony. Anyone could say those words to you," Drake continues. "Just think about everything that I said and surely, you should be able to move on and even forget him in no time when you realize the answers to my questions," he said. "There"s no sense crying over spilled milk. There are a lot of fishes in the ocean."
