PERCIE
I turned my head, swearing silently. The shock on Hailey’s face twisted my gut to see me with Lexie together. She stopped at the door, causing her friends to stop too.
I swallowed hard and looked back at the girl in front of me. It was not that we broke up or I was cheating on her.
The waitress approached and asked Lexie about her order.
Lexie looked at me. “Are you sure you want me to sit with you?”
My brows furrowed. “Of course. Why not?”
“Um, Hailey might think something, you know,” she whispered.
I chuckled. “We’re just roommates. I don’t think she cares if I’m talking with girls. I’m not stopping her to make friends either. Or even go out on a date. She is a big girl. She can take care of herself.”
“Okay. But why do I sense some sarcasm and jealousy?” She beamed at me.
“Nuh. I was like a brother to her.” I looked to my right. Hailey was looking right at before she averted her gaze to her friends.
“I don’t think that’s how she looks at her brother. She likes you a lot, Percie.”
I looked at Lexie incredulously. “What? That’s impossible.”
“Hailey likes you. Trust me.” She smiled, raising her brow. I wished she was true, but it didn’t feel that way. The feeling wasn’t mutual at all.
“Yeah, of course. She likes me. Like her brother.”
She laughed out loud, hitting my hand playfully.
I laughed too while Hailey was narrowing her eyes in our direction. I narrowed back. What’s wrong with her?
“That’s not what I mean. I mean, she likes you like like you, but never as her brother.” She rolled her eyes.
“That’s what she said,” I told her.
She giggled like a schoolgirl in front of her celebrity crush. Lexie was actually funny and genuine. Why didn’t I notice her before? Maybe because I was too busy ogling at someone who would never be mine, someone who never looked at me the way I looked at her. Or maybe, I was too blind to see what was right in front of me.
She nudged my hand.
“Are you saying something?”
She grinned. What’s with this girl?
“You do really like her, don’t you? But you both are so blind to see or maybe, too shy to admit your feelings for each other.”
I rolled my eyes. “Do you carry a magic ball with you? Just eat and stop pushing what’s not true.”
“But you wish it is.”
I closed my eyes and released a sigh.”I like her, but her parents trusted me of her, and I can’t just break their trust. Besides, she’s too good and innocent to be with me. I’m not what you think I am, Lexie.” I looked at her to see her reaction, but she didn’t even give me a hint of surprise or judgment.
“I sense desperations.”
“Whatever you say, Lexie.”
