One More Chance by Jaycelle Rodriguez

Chapter 101: Do you still have feelings for him?

~~~After you go, I can catch up on my reading. After you go, I'll have more time for sleeping. And when you're gone, looks like things are gonna be a lot easier. Life will be a breeze you know. I really should be glad, but I'm bluer than blue, sadder than sad. You're the only light this empty room has ever had. And life without you is gonna be bluer than blue~~~

"Yes, my princess. Do you want us to stop at a McDonald's or you only want pizza?" He asked, lifting his daughter in his arms.

"Hmm... cam we stop and buy both?"

"Of course! What my princess wants, my princess gets."

"Yehey!"

I sighed, shaking my head at the two.

"Let's go, mommy."

I just nodded to Cali and smiled when Luke turned to me smiling.

"What? You went with him to your old house?" Jack screamed in shock the moment I told her where I went this morning. "Oh, jeez, Sam!"

"Hey, Cali was with me!" I chuckled, but I immediately avoided her gaze.

We're now in the back office of the coffee shop. Luke was just the one who brought Cali home as I went straight to the shop after visiting the house and showing the property to the buyer which happened to be Luke's cousin. "And I had to come with him to sign the documents too," I said walking over to the mini pantry to get something to drink.

"Okay." I know she followed me because I heard her voice close behind me. "What's the reason again why he had to sell the house--- I mean, why you had to sell the house?"

"We will donate the money to the foundation."

"And you believed him that he would really sell that property?"

"Yes, because I was there. I signed the documents with him, right?" I walked past her and went back to my desk with a glass of juice in my hand.

"Hmm... alright." She shrugged. And when I thought she would stop there already, well, I was wrong. "So, did the memories come back?"

My head snapped at her.

"What do you mean if the memories come back?"

She smirked and walked slowly towards my desk.

"If the memories came back." She shrugged. "If the happy, sad and painful memories came back when you went there with him? Those times when you cried hysterically over him in your room, screaming out the pain---" "Jack!"

"What? I'm just asking, Sam." She chuckled but it was sarcastically. "Hmm... do you still remember the restaurant scene?"
