The Billionaire's Daughter

Chapter 34: The Past

Four months have passed since that day but the pain is still raw in my heart.

Reminiscing Franco and I’s usual banter at school and at the cafeteria always made me smile.

“Saphira! What’s with that face?!”

“Oh Hi Rob. Just thinking about some things.”

“If you’re thinking about Franco again. . .”

“Stop. I know this is wrong and I promised not to be sad again but I can’t help it.”

“Saphira, he’s just gone for. . .”

“Shhhh. I don’t want to hear it Rob.”

“If you want to be melodramatic like that, sure, I’ll let you. But I’m hungry come on let’s eat. Franco will be mad at me if I don’t take care of you.”

“Are you sure you’re okay with this Rob? I mean, you know how I feel about him and still you’re here.”

“Saphira, I already accepted the fact months before that I cannot replace Franco in your heart but I am still here to be your friend. Nothing will ever change that.”

“Thank you Rob. You’re such a good friend. I don’t know how I could have survived these past months without your support.”

“Silly, as if I was the only one here for you. You have . . .”

“Stop! I told you I don’t want to hear that.”

“So dramatic. Come on, I’ll treat you to lunch.”

Flashback

Every afternoon at 4 pm after school hours, we always go to the café he was working. He will work his daily four hour shift during the days when my parents were out of town, which is most of the time, I will wait for him in a corner table of the café studying or browsing the net.

“Hey besttie, are you ordering the usual or want to try something else?”

“Just the usual.”

“Hey, you need to try our new best seller. Please? I will make it myself.”
