The next day, I woke up so early. I needed to resume work today. That's the only thing that could keep me sane. Staying indoors would only make things worse for me. I'd missed the office anyway.
I got dressed, and surprisingly, Nicholas was waiting for me. When he saw me, he said, "I was waiting for you."
"Good morning," I greeted.
I bid Ms. Maya goodbye and left immediately with Nicholas. He was being nicer than expected. He opened the car door for me to get in.
I didn't want to ask too many questions, so I got inside, and he went to the other side to get in too.
He let out a sigh and asked, "Have you thought about what I told you?"
I stared at him, confused. "What's that?"
"Will you be my girlfriend?" he asked again.
I stared at him blankly. "Are you sure you didn't wake up on the wrong side of the bed? What is this about?"
He rolled his eyes and said, "I really want to be with you. Don't you get it? I'm not doing this because I want to do it, but because I mean it."
