Besotted

I stood next to Caleb in the conference room as he gave a presentation and just for a mere second looked my way as I took a few steps back to give him some space. It's been three weeks since I got back to the office. Caleb had changed or should I say he moved on.

There was nothing in between us. If anything it was left then it was only professionalism. I saw him getting together with Hailey. He looked happy and everything that he was not with me. Not only in the office but even the media started talking about them.

I would see notifications of them having dinner night, hanging out together from the media. It would be a lie if I said it did not hurt. Like a football, he kicked me away and I was the only one who allowed him to do that.

I curled up on my bed as I saw the notifications. My brain told me to see it more so that I would get over with him but still, I couldn't. He looked happy. His eyes lightened up and twinkled every time he was with Hailey. He no longer needed me and that hurt me the most. I slammed the phone to my next on the bed as I sighed putting my hand on my eyes.

The phone beeped and I checked it to find Eden's messages.

Unlike Caleb, he has been apologizing a lot and never backed off from wanting to know what I was doing. He was really generous enough to ask me if I was alright. At some point, I understood that it was not his fault. Honestly, when I was not with Caleb, I liked being with Eden and perhaps that might have given him the wrong impression that I liked him.

I should have cleared things out between us.

I texted him back telling him that I was alright and I needed some time alone. He was generous enough to understand.

I got an email and I checked it find that my application to the design school in Paris has been accepted. Immediately I got up from the bed looking down at my phone. A gasp escaped my mouth as I put my hand on my mouth and squealed like a madwoman. I couldn't believe it.

I seriously couldn't believe it.

It was like a dream come true.

Finally, I could complete my studies and be able to live my dreams. I had always wished to be a jewelry designer and finally, my form was accepted. After so many days, I was able to feel happy as I stood up from the bed and made my way to the mirror.
