I was walking out of the building where I work, going to a parking space nearby to get my car.






I'm still worried about yesterday, I didn't give him my number and now I don't know how to contact him.



Why am I worried anyways?




It's kinda like a good thing, I don't have to see him again.


Are you really sure you don't want to see him again?







Ugh, damn it!


When I reached the parking lot, a familiar voice behind me spoke.


"That's a really cute car you got there."

I smiled, realizing it was you.


But I'm confused.

How did he know I'm here?

Did he follow me from work?

That's impossible, he doesn't know where I work.







Or does he?






I faced him, giving him a confused look.

"How exactly did you know that I park my car here?" I asked in a serious tone.






"Well, I have my ways. And I want free clothes, that's why I'm here."
He answered jokingly.




"Whatever, just get in the car so this will be over." I got in the driver's seat while he was on the shotgun seat.



The ride was awkwardly silent, I didn't dare to open the radio.





Because what if something like in the movies happen?





When they play the radio a love song was playing and stuffs like that, I DO NOT WANT THAT TO HAPPEN.







Okay maybe I'm just exaggerating.





"So, how are you?" He said, trying to break the silence surrounding us.

"What do you mean?" I answered, even though I know exactly what he means.

"Uh, you know, it has been a year after that happened.Were you all right?" He asked me.

Wow, just wow.


He's got the nerve asking me that. I could really kick him in the balls right now!

He left, saying that he doesn't love me anymore.

Was the 5 years of our relationship not enough??

'Deep breaths dear, deep breaths' I told my—




"Don't act like you care because you never really cared in the first place!" I blurted out.


How the hell did those words came out from my mouth??!!


I looked at him, he looked shocked as well.

"I-I'm sorry. I just—"

"Nah, it's alright. It's my fault anyways." He smiled.


And there was silence again.




We were already near the mall, that is a good thing.


When I parked the car, you immediately went out of the car and opened the door for me.

Uh huh.



"Uh thanks?" I awkwardly smiled.


We went to the mall, still no one is initiating a conversation.



You suddenly stopped in front of me.



"You know what, forget about what happened in the car earlier. It's totally my fault. So as a peace offering, ice cream?" He said.


I sighed.



Well, it's not bad to accept ice cream your ex-boyfriend is offering you right?



I nodded.

And you smiled, took my hand and dragged me to an ice cream parlor in the mall.





Why did I agree to this?
