12 Boyfriend or Boy Friend

CHRISTIAN'S POV

"Chris!" she said cutely.

She went downstairs and slowly step close to me while Chai, who was about to go inside, stopped and looked at Jen.

"Your childish ex-girlfriend is here again," Chai said while crossing her arms. "I'll just go inside first. I don't want to witness a child play."

Chai headed inside while Jen was already in front of me.

"I've been calling you many times but you wasn't answering," she said.

"What are you here?"

"Oh! By the way, I'm your new neighbour. I just moved now and I'll be seeing you every day from now on."

"We already talked about this Jen, right?"

I'm not happy of what she was doing. I don't want to hurt her but I prefer not to hurt Chai than her.

"And you know me Chris, I won't stop until I get back whose mine again,"

"I'm not yours, Jen. And I'll never be yours," I said then left her and I go inside.

"Are you done talking? I thought it would take long?" Chai said who was standing in front when I opened the door.

I passed her and walked straight to my room to get dressed. Then I went back to pick up the foods I brought. Accidentally, I saw Chai in her room who are trying to fit a dress.

"Where are you going dressing like that?" I asked which make her stunned.

She immediately put down the dress on her bed and went out from her room.

"We'll be having a reunion later with my batch mate in college,"

"So Eliel will be there?" I asked while still picking those foods and put it on the plate.

"I thought you will be cooking?" she asked and sat down on the table then taste all the foods.

"I'm the one who cooked it before I left the house," suddenly she stopped.

"You went home?"

"The tournament's venue was on the same route as ours so I just passed by there but ended to slept there," I finished unpacking the foods and we started to eat.

"How's my Mom and Dad?" she get sad.

It's been a long time since she went home. She was doing her best here in order to get back their house which been sold to finance her studies before.

"They're doing well," I stand and step close to her. "They want to give this to you,"

"What is it?" she looked at me. I hug her tightly and kiss her forehead which made her flustered. "That's from them," I said and let her go then went back to my sit.

"What about our house?"

"It's still for rent according to Tito. But don't you worry there still no buyer so you still have the chance to get it back." I saw some tears are forming from her eyes.

"I will soon to complete the payments of the house. Especially now that I am a regular employee in the company I work for,"

"So you will stop for being a caregiver of Sami?"

"Probably," she said while the sadness was still visible on her eyes. So I just changed our topic.

"By the way, your ex will be there later?" I asked and secretly wiped out her tears.

"Huh?"

"I'm asking if your ex will be there also,"

"Of course!" she transform into a happy mode. Then she ate her favorite fried chicken. "In fact he was the one who bought the dress you saw before. And including those high heels," she said with a smile.

"Why he's buying those stuffs for you?" she then looked at me while I'm waiting to her reply. "For what?"

"I just said earlier that I'll be wearing it to our reunion later. I think you're not listening to what I am talking about," she said smilingly which made her looked like happy receiving those stuffs from her ex.

Take note that he was her ex but she looks happy. And they have been separated because she saw him with other girl. Then now, she was happy to receive those stuffs from him. Hahahahaha she's crazier than me. This woman surely a blind one. Tsk! I stop eating and stared at her.

"Why?" she asked while the fried chicken was on her mouth.

"Are you getting back together?" she was surprised to what I said and she cough suddenly. She then drink a cup of water before answering me. On the other way, I started to eat again my pancit.

"You're really crazy? Does it mean then that we get back together?"

"Then what should that be called? You accepted the stuffs he bought for you then it looks like your happy receiving a gift from your EX. What is that? Just a souvenir?" she then giggled to laughter and looks like she was crying. I just smiled then.

I'm happy seeing her laughing hard like this. It's been a long time since I saw this smile on her face.

"My ghad!" she wiped out the tears of joy on her eyes.

"Why are you laughing that hard?" I seriously asked.

"Hahaha na hahaha."

"Will you please drink first water before you talk? I can't understand you," she drink the water I give then she started to talk.

"You're so funny. You looks like my boyfriend who get jealous on my ex," she again wiped out her tears. "My ghad! I think my stomach - - - "

"I'm your boyfriend, aren't I?" I said seriously which made her flustered. "Boy friend, a male friend."

"Ahh...,"

"What are you thinking?" I just smirked on her and it looks like she was pissed off.

Hahahaha! It's my turn. I just laugh but not as loud as like her earlier.

"You're really crazy!" she said and kicked me on the head.

"Ouch!"

"I thought it's true!"

"Why? You want it to be true?" I teased her.

"Of course not!" she answered without any hesitation while trying to pick the last fried chicken.

I do not know what happened to me. But I just suddenly feel sad to what she said. It seems like my heart get hurt but I do not why.

"Why?" I curiously asked her while eating the last piece of fried chicken.

"Offfffcourssssseee..." she then swallowed what she was eating and then spoke again. "Of course! I don't want to lose two people to one person,"

"Huh?" I wondered what she was saying while finishing the pancit I was eating.

Sometimes, I can't understand her. She just suddenly talk about sayings that I can't find the meaning of it. This is probably the effect to her in watching dramas.

"Of course, ... " I think that it's your favorite words for today. You always talked like that since earlier. "... your my friend and then you'll be my boyfriend, it's something different. We may say that we didn't work, we break up. Not only my boyfriend will be gone but also my friend."

I can't moved to what she just said. I freeze for a moment. When I came back to my sense I then speak.

"We can still be friends even though we broke up," I just said.

"Exes can't be friends. It will be awkward then,"

"So you're confirming that you and Eliel are back together?"

"Of course no! Not! We're just friends,"

"I thought it would be awkward to be friends with your ex,"

Boom! See now! You're being attacked by your own words. Hahahaha

"In would be different with Eli. We first met as strangers to lovers to exes to friends. When it comes to us, it'll be more different. It's because we first met as friends to lovers to exes to strangers. Or maybe we can be friends again but not like as before," she seriously explained to me in details.

I have nothing to say then so I just stared at her. What if I make my joke true? Will this be the outcome as what she said or otherwise?
