Lie To Me novel Chapter 38

“How’s the wedding?” Reysa asked me later that night when I got home. She was sitting at our couch as she watched some movie on the television.

“Feet off the couch, Reysa.” I said instead.

She rolled her eyes and removed her shoes before putting back her feet on the couch.

“So, how was it?” She repeated.

So, curious, ain’t yah?

“It was beautiful. I told you, you should have come with me,” I answered.

She scoffed. “As if. You know I don’t support you being friends with your ex and his now wife,” she said.

“There’s nothing wrong with that, Rey,” I said. I sat beside her and took out some chips from her hand.

“There is, especially when that girl, Maxine, kept on pushing you with some other guys.”

“She’s just being friendly, stop bitching about it.” I said.

“You’re siding on her now? You’re choosing her over me,” she said.

Scandalized, I turned to her. “What? I’m not choosing anyone, Reysalyn!” I said, but then, I realized something so I squinted my eyes. “Are you jealous of Maxine?” I asked.

It was her turn to feel scandalized. Her eyes widened and she moved away a bit. “Ha! Why would I be jealous of that girl?” she said.

I laughed. “Come on, Reysa. I know you; you were like this to Ruth before. Hmm…” I teased.

“Shut up, Jianna. I’m not jealous,” she denied.

“Oh, really? Then, why are you blushing?” I teased more.

“Stop it, Jia.” She said, glaring at me.

I laughed and moved to hug her, I also leaned on her shoulder. “You and Hans are my best friends and no one can ever replace you two in my heart,” I said.

I felt her took a deep sighed. “Just don’t hang out with that two too much. I hate the idea that they are pushing you to commit something you’re not even interested with,” she said.

I nodded.

“You don’t have to worry, Sa. I will not have someone I’m not interested to,” I said.

She didn’t say but shrugged. I know that she’s concerned and I will not invalidate that.

And as per, Russell and Maxine, I know they are also concern and I appreciate that. I also do know where Russell’s concern is coming; he thinks I lost interest in love because of what happened to us.

He thinks that I’m afraid to love because I’m scared of getting hurt and he was wrong, they were wrong.

I’m not scared. I’m talking my time with what’s important right now and I believe that if love is for me, it will come to mw without me finding it.

I want that kind of love, the one that I didn’t expect to come but came. And I prayed that it was a love that will stay and never leave.

I want someone who will love only me; someone who will always choose to be happy than deal with the past. I prayed to meet someone that I will be happy with.
