The Couple

Celia

I am back home after meeting my college friends, we decided to meet today since Linda and John will be joining their jobs next week, Shelly is moving in two days to Manhattan and Matt being a love lost puppy is moving too but after a week.

He still hasn’t told Shelly that he successfully got a job in Manhattan and will be with her in the same city, she still thinks he is jobless since he rejected all offers as he was waiting for this one.

I really don’t get it how a playboy suddenly changed for a girl, weird but I just wish she accepts his love soon.

The last two days were really annoying. Yesterday, the whole time I felt someone’s eyes on me but I couldn’t find them one time. It was like the party at my dorm, when hunk was checking me out the whole night until I approached him.

Me reminding today's events.

These two days are the most irritating slash weird days of my life. Either felt being watched or was restless. I didn’t sleep well last night either. I was thinking about nothing in particular but felt like I am missing something. I tried but couldn’t think of anything.

At last, I gave up around half past 6 in the morning and decided to go for an early jog since after college I had nothing to do and I was not meeting my friends till late morning.

I was having my same route and was running at a slow pace planning my rest of the week apart from the appointments I have with other friends or my parents. When I felt someone running past, it was like I saw the hunk again after the other day at the airport. I wonder why I am thinking of him too much.

I shrugged and continued my jogging as the guy ran really fast for jogging and got out of my vision pretty soon. I blame my excitement and anxiety of moving and starting a new life in Cooperstown for having me restless and overthinking.

We decided to meet at our regular place for brunch and will decide later for today’s plans. There was only Shelly and Linda, Shirley and Carl when I reached. Shelly is upset since Matt didn’t get hired in Manhattan’s company, well according to her, and how she is unwilling to join so soon.

I teased her that she should have Matt let know of her feelings sooner but she won’t budge since she is moving now she doesn’t want to have anything with him. I wanted to give her a piece of my mind but I think I don’t have a say in this topic since I broke up with George for the same reason.

Soon, Jeanne arrived but to our surprise not alone, some dark blonde or light brown hair guy is with her and since Jeanne has black hair he is perhaps not Christian, that leaves only Greg. She has a frown on her face, so its definitely Greg.

We are all surprised since she rarely talked of him and none of us ever saw him. We just heard of him and that too only his name. But didn’t she say yesterday, he isn’t coming and instead he sent her brother. Well, a lot can happen in a day and I have to know what can.

They took their seats and soon John and Matt joined us. Everyone knows about Matt’s plan and if it leaks he will make sure the person won’t see the next day’s sun.

Soon, I excused myself to the restroom and dragged Jeanne with me holding her hand. She screamed as soon as we entered the restroom. She is damn frustrated with Greg. She said when she got home yesterday after my house, he was there and she is still so angry.

Because of Greg’s coming she doesn’t get a single second for her brother and he is so awkward with Greg that he doesn’t stay at home for a second. He left early in the morning and came back late at night. He even ate his food in his room yesterday.

She told me this for the first time that it is arranged and she can’t get out of it. This is new to me, she always said he is her boyfriend and its complicated as she isn’t sure of the relationship and doesn’t want to get out of it.

I am so sorry for her how her grandparents can set her up with someone she doesn’t want. She cried a bit while we hugged. She fixed her makeup and got ready like nothing happened, she didn't cry. She is so strong sometimes that I forget her childish side.
