I went up to my apartment smiling. I got my keys out but noticed the door was unlocked. I panicked. I was sure I left the place locked and if someone came the security guard would have told me down stairs. I thought for a minute, then it hit me. I had given Aubrey my spare keys. I turned the knob. I was dreading this. I took off my shoes and made my way to the living area. I saw her silhouette sitting on a chair that was facing the entrance. I turned the lights on and she just looked at me arms and legs crossed.
I took off my jacket and placed it on the couch and sat across from her. I hadn't told her that I wasn't in so she must have been here for a while judging by the empty plate on the coffee table.
"You watch way too many movies, why are you sitting in the dark alone?" I asked a bit nervous since I knew where this was going.
Why have you been ignoring me?" She asked ignoring my question.
"I hav-" she cut me off by putting her hand up.
"Yes you have, despite you having school and an internship you find time to hung out with Tyler and his gang on the weekends."
"How did you..."
"I have my ways." She was silent for a minute. "So what are you hiding from me Harry Black? Spit it out, I'm gonna find it out eventually, you know I can."
I looked down at my hands while I cracked my fingers. I couldn't exactly tell her that I was having unrequited feelings for her fated. I needed to tell her something, not a lie cause she'd see right through that.
"Um... I met my fated," And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you swerve and avoid a conversation. Her face turned from menace to intrigue. She leaned in and put her elbows on her knees.
"When did this happen?" Her tone was kind of pissed but excited...I don't know either.
"Two weeks ago." I bit my lip nervous she was going to be mad I didn't tell her.
"WHAT?" She practically screamed. "You met your fated two fucking weeks ago and you never told me? I literally told you the second it happened to me." She shook her head. "I feel betrayed." She leaned back and looked away from me.
"It's not like that,I just wanted to get to know him before I told everyone else." This was a lie and was also kind of true. Me admitting and telling people I did would have made things too realistic and things would have changed. Part of me didn't want that, although nothing would have come out of the current situation.
"You've known them two weeks and your literally going to spend your whole life with them, I don't see the reason behind you actions. I'm upset."
"Okay I am sorry, what can I do?" I didn't really mean to upset her but this was necessary. For me at least.
"Saturday, 6pm sharp, you and your fated at the movies we are going to go on a double date. Do not be late." She stood up and flipped her hair.
"But-" she held out her finger at me.
"No, that's what I want you to do. It's the least you could do for stabbing me in the back."
"Wow you're gonna be dramatic about this till the end huh?" I shook my head.
"I'm disappointed you thought I'd act any other way" she said and left without saying anything else. I flopped back on the couch and rubbed my eyes. There was no convincing her other wise. I pulled out my phone and hoovered over the keyboard.
Me
Hey, are you busy Saturday night?
Luke
Can't get enough of me I see
No I'm not.
Me
Great, my best friend wants to us to go on a double date so yeah...
It's just a movie and dinner
I hope that's okay
Luke
That's fine, can't wait ; )
Mendokusai. I thought.
I looked my phone and made my way to take a shower.
I had been avoiding E all this time now we were going to be stuck together for while on a fucking double date. I couldn't even imagine the situation. I am not sure if meeting my fated had changed my feelings but I guess I'll know in the next three days. I am not exited.
