BLS #7: BREAKING THE LAST

Chloe Regens

1 month later..

Ken is avoiding me like I’m a deadly virus. After that incident in Tennessee, he went back home alone leaving us. I felt sorry for the others because we went back to New York the next day.

The girls comforted me because that night I was crying. I thought I will never cry but I cried my heart out alone until Rose realized that I’ve been locking myself inside the room.

Since that day, I tried to go to his office but the security already block me. I tried to wait for him after work but he never came out from his office. I tried to call but my number got blocked. I’ve tried to go to his house but it’s useless too.

1 month full he’s avoiding me.. 1 month 12 days 17 hours 12 minutes 17 seconds.

This feeling is 2 times worser than breaking up with Xander. I have 3 years relationship with Xander and not crying after breaking up and now I have no relationship with Ken but crying when he’s avoiding me. Stupid? I know.

“Chloe?” I just realized that I’m spacing out.

“Sorry.. I’m sorry Angel.” I apologized immediately.

“Why don’t you take a break?” She looked at me with a sad expression.

“No no.. I’m fine.” I smiled.

“As your boss, I’m ordering you to take a break. You have work hard all this time and you need a break.”

“I’m fine Angel, seriously.”

“Ken isn’t it?” She asked and I sighed.

“How is he these days?” I asked since her husband is Ken’s best friend.

“Sorry Chloe but I don’t know about his condition.” Angel said.

“Hey don’t be, I’m just asking.” I patted her hand.

“Go home Chloe.. or take a trip back to LA and see your family.”

“Angel I just work for you 1 month, I don’t deserve this.” I said and she shook her head.

“I use your design a lot and you work so hard.. Why can’t I give you a break?”

“I-”

“Chloe/” Angel looked at me seriously.

“Huh?”

“Go home.. take a break, watch netflix or whatever. Try to hit a guy or something.” She smiled and I chuckled.

“Okay fine.. One day, just one day break.” I said.

“Okay deal, fine.” She gave up, I picked my bag and bid my goodbye to her and walked out from her office. I looked up to the sky and see the sky has the same feeling as mine. It’s dark and I know it will rain a few moments after this.

My heart was really broken and I don’t know what do to again. It’s hard to reach Ken now because he completely pushing me away so badly. Even though I don’t see him for awhile, I still like him and the memories with him is still fresh on my mind.

I felt a few rain drops fall on my head but I ignored it. As the time goes by the rain is staring to get heavier and heavier. I walked in the rain and ignoring the fact that it’s cold and freezing because of the wind blows so hard.

“A beautiful girl shouldn’t walk alone in the rain.” I looked up to see a light brown hair guy standing beside me and holding an umbrella.

“I’m fine, you can go.” I said weakly.

“Your face is pale.. here hold this for a sec.” He gave me his big umbrella, he took off his jacket and then wrapping it around me.

“Thanks but I don-”

“I’m Conard Renov, yours?” He cut me and he held the umbrella again.

“Chloe, Chloe Regens.”

“Wanna grab a cup of coffee to warm our body?” He asked and I turned to him. He smiled to me and he seemed nice.

“Starbucks?” I asked.

“If you like that, let’s go.” He said and Starbuck is just 2 blocks away.

“Umm Conard thankyou.. for this and this.” I pointed at the umbrella and his jacket.

“No problem Chloe, don’t walk in the rain again. You might catch a cold.” He smiled sweetly.

“Yeah.. Thanks for the reminder.” I said.

“Uhmm.. are you free this friday?” He asked and I turned to him raising my eyebrows.

“There’s my friends birthday party and I was hoping if you want to be my date?” He asked.

“Date?”

“Is it too fast? Look I didn’t mean to-”

“Okay.” I cut him.

“When?”

“In two days.” He said and I nodded.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“Let’s get in first, what do you want to drink?” He asked as we entered the starbucks.

“Hot chocolate.” I said.

“Okay hot chocolate coming right up.” He smiled and I chuckled. I sat on one of the empty tables and looked outside the window. It’s raining heavily.

After a few minutes pass, Conard brought my hot chocolate and he gave it to me. He drank a hot cappuccino and a sandwich.

“Thankyou Conard.” I said once again and he looked at me.

“Hey it’s fine and besides I was passing by when I saw you were drench. I’m quite lucky I’m helping a beautiful woman like you.” He smirked and I chuckled.

“You’re going to work?” I asked as I pointed to his bag.

“Nahh just went to a meeting and that’s all for my schedule today.” He said.

“Ohh.. if you have work you can go.” I said.

“No.. so can I have your phone number?” He asked, giving me his phone and I nodded. I put my phone number to his phone.

“I’ll call you Chloe.” He said smiling.

“Will wait Conard.. so where do you work?” I asked as I sipped my hot choco.

“Building next behind this.”

“Oh I see.” I nodded my head.

“How about you?”

“I’m working as a designer.” I said.

With that I talked with Conard for a few hours..
