Rent 23

Realization

SARA

My heart felt heavier and heavier as the weekend neared. I just couldn’t find it in myself to smile because Gio kept pushing me toward Adrian. It was odd. What was it that I was really expecting from my rented boyfriend?

And lately, he had been acting cold and was constantly reminding me that the weekend getaway would be my chance with Adrian.

“Oh my, you look awful!” Jeanie exclaimed when she saw me in the hallway photocopying some documents.

“Damn you, too,” I said grudgingly.

“It’s beginning to sink in, isn’t it?” She cocked her eyebrows and leaned against the wall while scrutinizing me with her observant eyes.

“What is?”

“The truth, Sara. Your choice is becoming clearer, isn’t it?”

“I’m not supposed to choose, Jeanie. From the very start, you know I’ll be with drinking buddy,” I answered flatly and gathered the papers. I started to walk away, and she followed me to my office.

“Stop torturing yourself, Sara. Make up your mind. I’m not used to seeing you like this.”

She motioned at my entirety with her hand as if I was a very offending sight with my unruly hair, black eyebags reaching the floor, messy dress... yup, I see what she meant.

“I don’t know what to do anymore, Jeanie. I don’t know what to think.” My voice was becoming tight as I grabbed my bag and slung the strap over my shoulder. It was already lunchtime and I wanted to eat alone to clear my mind.

“Sara...”

I hastened my pace to get out of the office, leaving Jeanie behind.

I PLACED MY TRAY of food down on a table situated near the floor-to-ceiling window of the restaurant to watch the passersby while I ate my lunch. I finally calmed down, and I couldn’t help but think how ridiculous I must’ve looked, almost breaking down in front of Jeanie. Between the two of us, I was supposed to be the steady person since Jeanie was already in charge of being the crazy one.

But Jeanie had a point. I needed to straighten out my feelings before the rent period lapsed.

A heavy sigh escaped between my lips as I started eating. I’ll just cross the bridge when I get there, I thought. Right now, I was too scared to face it. Chicken. Damn, I really am Kung Pao’s mommy.

“Mind if I join you?” a cheery voice asked and a tray of food was placed opposite mine. He was all smiles, his eyes squinting as he stared at me. The collar of his polo protruding from his sweater was a bit crooked, but it didn’t make him any less gorgeous. He actually looked like a mischievous kid trapped in a hot man’s body.

I looked around the restaurant and saw multiple vacant tables. Weird. Was he hitting on me?

“I’m hitting on you, yes,” he announced.

My head immediately whipped toward his direction. What?!

“Just kidding,” he chuckled and placed a spoonful of food in his mouth, letting the spoon protrude from his lips while giving me an eye-smile again.

I looked at him suspiciously. Creepy.
