I haven't send him a message that I went out yet. Oh no.

 

"Excuse me. I'm just going to get my phone." I hurriedly run to the living room to find my phone in my bag.

 

When I get a hold of it. It's ringing. Deus is calling.

 

I nervously answered it.

 

"Hel... " I was cut by his shout on the other line.

 

"Where are you!!" he sounds so mad

 

"I went somewhere. I... I'm sorry I left without saying anything. I look for you in the living room but you weren't there. I assumed that you are in the study getting some work done so I decided not to disturb you" I reason out

 

"Location. I'm going to get you" I can hear him closing doors.

 

"No. I'm staying here tonight. I'll probably go home tomorrow or maybe the day after that" I said with conviction. He can't change my mind.

 

He stay silent on the other line. I am waiting for him to talk. This silence between us is killing me.

 

"Love..." he protest. I am waiting for him to add more but he remain silent.

 

"If you're hungry I cooked us dinner and it's on the fridge. Just heat it up." I remind him.

 

I can hear his deep breaths on the line. Since we are both silent for about three minutes now, I decide to end the call. Maybe we need some time away from each other.

 

It's so uncomfortable just talking to him.

 

I don't know when we start being this distant.

 

Did we lost our spark?

 

I can't remember the last time we even share something about each other's day.

I miss him.

 

I go back to the kitchen and eat with the happiest people on earth.

 

"You look pale and sick. Are you on a diet? You loss some weight" Kai suddenly look at me with his concerned eyes. I fixed my posture and give him a smile.

 

"No, I'm sexy enough to do diet" I joke and he made face to contradict me.

 

"Cocky eh" he remarks. I laughed

 

"You need to eat a lot Ellie. Here" Ali put a lot of food on my plate.

 

Our night went well. I feel so happy that I got the best company. We sleep in the living room and watch movie all night. We had pillow fight and we're throwing popcorn at each other all night. We acted like kids and it really calm me.

 

The next day, Kai needs to go to work.

 

Ali decided to stay with me. We went shopping and pamper ourselves.

We went to the spa and nail salon. I also decided to go to hair salon to have a haircut. My hair almost reach my waist and I want to turn it back to my old mid length wavy bob. I also ask for some highlights.

 

"Wow Ellie I miss your college look. So beautiful as ever." I flipped my hair and Ali laugh. "That's the confidence girl."

 

After spending all day at the mall we need to go back to their house for dinner.

 

She's planning to cook and I'll help her.

 

I decided to stay in their house for one more night. I look at my phone as I change my clothes to my pajamas.

 

No calls and text from him the whole day. That's heart wrenching. Seems like he doesn't miss me at all. I throw my phone to my bag and put a smile on my face. A fake one.

 

I will go home tomorrow and try to fix my relationship with Deus.

 

I am not giving up on us. I'm just trying to make my self feel better so I will not burst when we talk.

 

I jogged my way to the kitchen and help Ali out.

We are laughing while preparing dinner. Moments with her is always one of the happiest moments of my life. When we finished cooking we decided to play with their psp five while waiting for Kai.

 

We are so competitive with each other. We are so focused that we didn't hear the door open.
