Kendra's POV
After freshening up, I set my phone's alarm at two p.m. so I could have time to go to the hospital. I crawl myself to bed and eventually fall to sleep.
Ring...ring...ring
Groaning, I grab my phone from the side table.
'Tsk...tsk...tsk... it's only been thirty minutes since I got to bed.'
"Hello" without glancing
whose calling.
"Kendra, you are home, and you're not telling me?" it's Jia, my cousin. I'm picturing she is somehow pouting.
"Sorry Ji, I'm going to call after a nap but since you disturbed my sleep and called me, guess I could use your help later," I said to her.
"Do I?"
"Yes, and that is your punishment for waking me, I barely got asleep for two days, and here you are disturbing me." ranting at her.
"Sorry Kenn, I didn't know," she mumbled.
"Okay, get your pretty ass in here in fifteen minutes, I'll just get myself dressed and we're head to the hospital." shaking my head while smiling. My only cousin Jia can be annoying sometimes but I love her so much. Besides Liam, she is also my best friend. And she knows everything about me and Liam. She is my shoulder to lean on.
Getting out of bed, I take a pair of ripped blue jeans and a light green button-down shirt and get dressed.l let the half side of my shirt tucked inside my jeans and the other side lose outside. I didn't bother putting on makeup, just lipgloss, tied my hair in a messy bun, putting on white sneaker shoes. Grabbing my purse and phone and I'm good to go.
Going downstairs, I went straight to the kitchen, where I see Nana preparing something.
"I thought you said you're going to take a nap?" Nana ask.
"Oh, I did until Jia disturb my sleep." I went to the fridge to grab something to eat.
"Hungry?"
"Yeah" I replied without glancing at her.
"Take a set and I'll whip something for you."
"No need Nana, just this yogurt and a sandwich is enough." taking the strawberry flavored yogurt and some marmalade and bread, I take a set near the counter where Nana is working.
I hear the door open as I am about to take a bite of my sandwich.
"Oh, I miss you, Kendra," Jia came through and went straight to give me tight hug.
"I don't," I said but give her a bear hug.
"Hahaha, very funny," she mumbled but I see a glimpse of tears falling on her cheeks as I cup her face to look at her.
"I miss you too, honey."
"Let me finish my sandwich first then we'll go," I said and get back to my food.
Minutes later we're on our way.
"How are you doing Kenn?", she asks while driving.
"I'm doing fine, "I replied turning myself to her and giving a soft smile.
" And how about Carter?"
" What about him?" I raised my eyebrow as I take a peek at her.
"You know, any further development between you two. Any lovey-dovey going on?" she took a glimpse at me to see my reaction.
"Oh yeah, you see he invited me in a week vacation in Hawaii, and we spent almost every moment with each other, smooching, petting," I said nonchalantly, just to see how will she react.
She suddenly stops the car, giving me a wide smile.
"Oh my God, this is a miracle," she said excitedly as if she is a little girl who just received her favorite ice cream.
"Hahaha, got you." I laugh harder as I cannot keep myself pretending.
"You....you take....my joke...literally," I said in between laughing.
l watched as her eyes got bigger as my words sink into her. Then she slaps my shoulder hard.
"Hmm, I can't believe you fooled me." shakes her head but chuckles.
"Kidding aside, why not try dating him?"
Carter is my Boss, CEO of the BCGlobal Technologies. For three years, Carter has been trying to date me.
"You know the reason" I replied somehow managing to get ahold of myself.
"How long will you gonna torture yourself Kenn, it's almost 10 years now. He did not even bother to give you a message, not even once." I know they wanted me to move on, I am too but how am I gonna do that when Liam is all I am longing for. I tried dating before but it lasted only three weeks, I feel disgusted every time he tried to kiss me. I feel awful as if I'm a cheater. Eventually, I give up, never bothered trying again.
" You think I want this? I do too want to move on. But every time I think about doing that, all I can see is Liam." I softly said as I felt my chest start getting congested. I hastily wipe the tears that roll down my cheek. I don't want to cry.
"I'm sorry sweetie, I didn't mean to make you upset."Jia apologizes as she reaches my hand and squeezes. As her other hand on the steering wheel.
Nodding slightly, I close my eyes and pretend to sleep to stop this awful conversation.
