2024-10-29 19:42:56Different drinks were in each table. I didn't drink but when I sight how Demi drink all of her glass made me watch her in awe. I just stared at him, and did not speak. But every time I tried to reach for words to her, she's just repeling my gaze on her. My chest ached there. So… I'll lose her too huh?
My mouth was stuck there. It was almost depressing to notice the influx of the few. Some were approaching me, but I did not recall anything if I smiled or not to them. Maybe once, but truly I didn't. I couldn't help but smile as Demi and I moved away from me.
It did not help that I noticed Alforo's arrival. The silhoutte of him, while in the dark were still alluring. I knew very well that he was, especially when he first looked for me in the sea of people. And when he found me h

I chilled at the sound I finally heard. I'm not expecting what Klaud might utter. I seem to have been drenched in cold water there. So that's the reason? That's why Klaud treats me like that. Like he still had feelings for me. That it was all planned by Alforo. I can't seem to accept that. I was left stunned."It's not true right?" my voice is broken.I shrugged as I averted my eyes from Alforo. They both didn't respond to my sentiments. Tears pooled down my cheeks when it sinked in to me properly."Is it really planned, Alforo?" I said coldly.It's too cold but I didn't mind it. I looked at him. But his expression were just too hard.
