Keep living...
Keep living...
She noted he was a really good time keeper because he was there in exactly 10 minutes.
He wore a casual Tee and trousers and his hair was neatly styled to the back unlike Leo who always went about with a messy hair which was actually kind of cute.
Louis smiled at her before taking the seat opposite her.
"Good afternoon." He greeted before asking, "Why didn't you order for something?"
She also noticed he had a nicer appearance compared to his twin brother. He looked like the type who smiled a lot and he had a really sexy kind of baritone.
Mia was still embarrassed and it was evident in her flushed cheeks.
"I wasn't planning on taking anything. I just wanted to apologize." She said while trying to maintain eye contact with him.
"Alright." He nodded without pushing much.
"I'm listening." He said before folding his hands in front of his chest.
"About the other night, I am really sorry. I don't think it's necessary explaining the reason it happened that way, but I think it's best I let you know that I am really sorry for it."
"Is something going on between you and Leo?" Louis asked straightforwardly.
"Why are you asking me that?" Mia asked with a frown.
"I'm just curious since you kissed me thinking it was him." He explained, making her cheeks color.
"Some things led to that. I believe I have done what I wanted to do and cleared my conscience." She said before standing up.
"Are you sure that's the only thing you should be apologizing for?" Louis asked whilst still relaxed in his seat.
"Are you sure that's the only thing you should apologize for?" He asked again when he saw the confused look she was giving him.
"What else was I supposed to apologize for?" She asked curiously..
"You called me a jerk." He said while looking at her.
"Are you messing with me right now? When did I do that?" She asked with a frown. "Friday night was the first time I met you and I do not remember calling you a jerk even though I was a but tipsy that night."
"Are you sure about that?" He asked, cocking a brow at her.
"I guess you just have been really surprised that night that you didn't hear the first question I asked you.
"What question?" Mia asked as she thought back to that night.
She remembered the first question he had asked her was "Aren't you the girl from the amusement park?"
"I can see you remember now." He said with a smile once he noticed her facial expression change.
"We met in front of that strange looking building that looked like a shaman's house and you called me a jerk immediately you saw me." He reminded her.
"Oh...." She exclaimed. "That was you?" She asked in surprise. She had called him that thinking it was Leo since they had been having their 'one word insult session' back then.
"Yea." He nodded. "That was me. I guess you also mistook me for Leo."
"I'm sorry about that also. Do have a nice day." She said and began to walk out but he stopped her again.
"Shouldn't you at least have a cup of coffee with me before leaving? I came here because of you and can't just leave now." He said while looking at his watch.
"I never asked you to come here. Have fun drinking your coffee." She said before walking away.
***************
Chloe stood in front of a small studio apartment and knocked for the second time.
"Coming.." A male voice yelled from inside before opening the door.
"Hey babe" He said before kissing her cheek lightly. "Sorry for keeping you, I was in the bathroom." He explained when he saw her frown.
Chloe looked him up and down and nodded. It was obvious he had just come out from the bathroom. His body was wet including his hair. He was topless, revealing his perfectly constructed body and wore a loose fitting pant. A towel was draped around his shoulder while water dripped from his body.
"I said I'm sorry..." He apologized with a pout and made to hug her but she stopped him with a hand in between them.
"I don't want to get wet. I have to visit the mall soon." She explained before handing him an envelope.
He smiled happily and quickly checked inside. After counting the money, he frowned slightly and looked at her.
"Babe.. it's short." He said with a sad pout.
"That's all I can give to you now."
"But—"
"No buts David. You have to do with that. I've given you too much money already yet you don't do anything profitable with it. Because of you I've gotten into trouble several times and even messed with my brother's apartment and now I can't even—" She paused and took in a deep breath as if trying to calm her nerves.
"Just take that."
David looked at her sadly and held her hand... "I'm sorry." He apologized.
"This time, I'll make sure I get a good job and take good care of you "
"You keep saying that everytime. Anyway, I don't think they would be any need for that." She said before walking towards the door.
"Why? What do you mean?" He asked, moving closer to her also.
She was quiet for a bit and looked at his confused face.
"I am breaking up with you." She said.
"You.... are joking right?" He asked in shock.
"I am not. This... cannot continue to go on between us. I just realised I–"
"Chloe please..." He moved even closer and cupped her face with his hands so she would look at him.
"Chloe... I love you... I.. I cannot live without you.." He said in a low voice as if he was going to break down any moment.
"You love me too right? You care about me right?"
Chloe forcefully pushed him away and raised her voice. "I... I don't know anymore.. I don't even understand this relationship. The only thing that goes on is you constantly asking for money while I keep giving you money over and over again. Are you even sure you love me or you are just after my money?" She asked angrily.
"How can you say that Chloe?" He asked in disbelief as his eyes began to water.
"I know it's very normal for you to think that way because of the circumstances but even if you didn't have any money or come from a rich family, I wouldn't love you less. It's been 4 years with you.. how do you expect me to live without you now?" He asked before wiping off the first tear that escaped his eye.
"Just take the money and keep living. I can't do this anymore." She said before storming out.
