The Secret
Chapter 9
The next evening as I was about to leave for my job, the phone rang.
"Hello?" I asked as I picked it up.
"Oh hi Kelly." The person on the other end said, but soon I realized it was Matt.
"Hey Matt, what's up?"
"Nothing really, just seeing if you're doing anything tonight."
I thought about it and said, "Well, I have a 2 hour shift right now."
"Alright, after that do you want to hang a bit?"
"Sure."
"I can also pick you up right now, if you like." He asked politely.
I looked at my watch, I knew I was going to be late if I didn't get a ride so I said, "That be great, thanks."
"Okay, I'll be right over." After that, he hung up the phone.
I started to get ready; as I looked out the window the sun was setting. So I made my way out to the lobby. I waited a while then saw Matt's car pull up in front. I walked quickly outside, but saw Tyson, Max, Kenny, Ray, and Kai coming out of the car behind.
"Hey Kelly!" Tyson yelled.
"Hi guys." I stopped to talk to them.
"Where you going all dressed up?" Ray asked.
"Umm... to work, actually." I paused, then saw Kai's reaction to my answer. "I'm running a bit late, so I'll see you guys later, ok? Bye!"
I quickly got into Matt's car and then we left. When I got out, he said he had a few things to do first and would meet me afterwards. I smiled and went inside. That night was the same shift. I was serving people drinks and stuff. But I did get used to the routine every night.
Then when I was about to get off work, I saw Kai walking in the club. I had to stop to see what he was doing at first, but he wasn't walking towards me. He just sat down at the bar and ordered a drink. I hoped that he wasn't just coming here to yell at me more. Few minutes later, Matt arrived with flowers.
"Hi, these are for you." He said as he grinned.
"Aw.. thank you." I smiled just a little. "I'm off work, you want to get out of here?"
"Actually no, I have something to tell you." He sounded serious but he was smiling. He held my hands and put the flowers on the table. Then he said, "Kelly?"
I smiled and nodded, didn't know what was that important to tell me.
"I think I'm in love with you." He said then paused.
I - I was just shocked.
Then he continued, "From the moment I met you that night, I knew you were the girl for me."
I still had nothing to say. The problem was that I had no feelings for him. I felt terrible. Somehow, I let go of his hands and pushed out the crowd, then got to the washroom.
Teresa followed me; she knew there was something wrong. Then she asked, "What happened?"
"He, he said he loved me." Tears came out of my eyes.
"What?! Really?? You've let this go on for too long."
"this? What's this? I let what go on for too long?"
"The fact that he was in to you? Hello? Pay attention to the rest of the world!" She blamed me.
"So? What do I do now?" I asked for advise.
"I don't know.... I just don't know what you should do next..."
