AMARA hugged herself because of the coldness of the night wind. It caresses her skin softly that it made her shiver all of a sudden. She regret not taking her jacket awhile ago when she went out from the appartment she's living in.
She's just wearing a yellow sleeve less shirt and a fitted pants that still hugged her body perfectly despite the simplicity of her outfit. That's the first clothe that she grabbed because she was in a hurry. She wasn't even able to put a light make up, for Pete's sake!
She looked at her wrist watch and sighed heavily. Her brows furrowed because her boyfriend is already late.
Her boyfriend called her awhile ago and asked her to meet him in their favorite open restaurant. The ambiance is nice because you can feel the fresh air and even the city lights are ovelooking in their location. He said that they would meet around eight in the evening that's why she came earlier than the said time.But one hour had passed yet he hasn't arrived yet.
"What's taking him so long?" she asked herself and grabbed the water on the table. It was the third glass of water that she order from the waiter, by the way. She just wanted to disappear all of a sudden because the waiter is glancing at her multiple times already. Of course, she haven't order a real food yet because of waiting for her boyfriend.
She suddenly felt irritated that she even rolled her eyes upward. She would definitely scold her boyfriend once he arrived.
Damn, if ever that he's still not here after thirty minutes, she would leave instantly!
She shook her head when she remembered that she have tons of work that she left in her apartment. She's working as a writer at a well-known publishing company. She still need to edit her manuscript because the freakin' deadline is coming! Her boss might scold her and didn't want that to happen because he was really nice to her. She does not want other to think that she was abusing their boss' kindness.
Almost thirty minutes had passed but she already wants to go home! Her butt is already aching from sitting for a long time.
She was about to stand up but her boyfriend finally arrived! He looked fresh and wearing his black shirt with his fitted pants and a pair of sneakers. His hair is still wet and her irritation melted when his manly scent attack her nostrils.
"Why are you late?" Amara said with a shaking voice while staring at his boyfriend who is ccomfortably sitting in front of her.
He crossed his arm and looked at her. Is it just her or Amara could really feel thay something is about to happen. She got scared suddenly for unknown reason. Why is she feeling this way?
His stares are not even helping. It was... cold.
"Traffic," he simply answered.
"You could've texted me and informed me that you might be late or something, Alex! I've waited for hours already-"
"Then you could've went home. You're making this a big deal," he sarcastically said that made Amara's lips opened in disappointment. She wasn't even able to finish what she's saying.
Amara can't believe what her boyfriend said. It seems like he's not really in a good mood. But she still tried to calm herself. Nothing will happen if she continue to argue with him. It might add his irritation.
These past few days, her boyfriend became cold and distant to her. She doesn't want to think about the reason why he's acting this way but she's a bit scared. It's bugging her mind for days already.
She's scared that one day, Alex will broke up with her.
She loves her boyfriend so much. They wouldn't last for three years in a relationship if she doesn't love him. Alex is also feeling the same way towards her and wouldn't even let a day pass without telling her he loves her. Of course, she felt delighted and happy even if he's just asking if she already ate. He was her walking reminder whe she forgot something.
On every days that the God created, she thinks that she's just loving him deeply. Oh, that's cheesy, she though.
But sadly, Alex seems so really distant like she have an illness or something. He rarely visit her in her apartment unlike in the past. He's not even kissing her anymore. She remembered those times when they were in a public places. He would kiss her nonstop even if there are too many people looking at them. She would just laugh at his naughty acts.
And now, he didn't even bother to kiss her on the cheeks.
Amara gulped the lump on her throat and to ease the pain that is creeping on her chest. She stared at the glass of water in front of her. She can't even look at him in the eyes.
"What are we going to talk about?" she asked him but the her boyfriend remains calm and expressionless.
Physically, Alex looks like he wasn't even bothered unlike her. There are so many what ifs are running in her mind.
"I want to break up with you, Amara."
