The Secret
Chapter 8
After I got off Matt's car, I quickly went up to my hotel room. But when I was in the lobby, I saw Kai.
"Hey, what are you doing up so late?" I asked as I gave him a hug.
Somehow he pushed me away slightly. "I was about to ask you the same question."
"Why so grumpy?" I yawned.
"Grumpy? I don't just go off with someone else." He was serious.
"What?! What are you talking about? You sure you feel okay?" I gave him a weird look.
"That guy? Who was him? What were you doing with him?"
"Matt? He just gave me a ride here. I met him tonight." I said, "Geez, calm down."
"Calm down?! He just gave you a hug." He was freaking out over nothing, "Seriously, who knows what his gonna do with you?"
"I can take care of myself too, you know!" I was beginning to get annoyed.
"I'm not so sure you can."
"You don't control my life, Kai!" With that, I left. I hated when I fought with him. I just went up the elevator and into my room.
I locked my room and fell onto my bed. Tears came down my eyes. I buried my face into my pillow. Then started to think. Was I really into Matt? What if Kai was right? Did Matt have a thing for me? So many things were going through my head at the moment, I couldn't think straight. Soon, I fell asleep and was trying very hard not to think of anything.
The next day, I was outside the whole day. I didn't want to meet or talk to anyone. That night I still went to my job. Surprisingly, Matt was there!
"Hey Kelly!"
"Oh, hi." I said not as cheerfully as before.
"What's wrong?"
"Oh nothing. I was just thinking about something else." I faked a smile on my face. Then we spend sometime talking while I was on my break. He helped to put on few smiles on my face. Then his friends arrived and he went to talk to them. I went to the washroom. While I was in there, I saw Teresa.
"Hey cutie." She said.
"Hi." I sighed.
"What's wrong? You just met a cute guy who is interested in you." She cheered.
"That's what's wrong."
"What? I don't get it." Teresa said it as she brushed her hair.
"See, it's like this, my boyfriend saw us last night when he was driving me home and thought there was a thing between us." I sighed again.
"Wow, you are a damn lucky girl." She said. "You got such a good boyfriend."
"What? He was accusing me of having to cheat on him or something." I was shocked.
"Oh come on, your boyfriend obviously cares about you." She explained, "Can't you see that?"
"Yeah, I guess. But now we're like on a break or something." I said, "I haven't talked to him yet."
"I suggest you better work this out soon. Before anything gets even worse." Teresa was finished with her hair, "Come on, let's go before you-know-who comes and yell at us again."
I laughed, then we went back in.
Once we got in again, Matt was there. He came over and said, "Hey, when are you getting off work?"
"In half an hour, I think."
"Alright, I can wait for you."
"You don't have to, you know."
"No, but I want to."
I smiled and went back to work.
When I got outside. I saw him waiting in his car. He said, "Over here."
I walked over and he gave me a ride again. As usual he hugged me again when I got off. When I walked in the lobby. Kai was there again. This time he didn't say anything and I had nothing to say to him either. I just totally ignored the fact that he was there and went straight into the elevator.
