One More Chance by Jaycelle Rodriguez

Chapter 162: I love you too

"What happened? Why did he leave just that after answering my question? Did I say something wrong?" Martha asked confused. She seemed to get sober after Luke had left. "No, you didn't say anything wrong," Dana answered for her.

"Then why did he leave?"

"Well, he was just jealous after seeing Sam talking to Martin a while ago," Dana again, added with a shrug.

"Oh, jeez! Sam!" Martha turned to me.

"What?"

"What are you waiting for? Run after him and get your boyfriend back!"

"O- Oh... y- yeah... why am I still here?" I asked more to myself, but since they all heard it, they just gave me a humorous laugh.

"Go, girl!"

I didn't wait for any second and ran towards the exit. I immediately looked for him outside the club and I thanked God in silence when I saw him in the parking lot.

He was against his car when I reached him with his hands in his pockets and looking blankly on the ground.

"Luke," I called him as soon as I stopped right in front of him. "I thought you were gone and left me already," I said with a deep sigh. It was only then that he looked at me. "Why made you think that I would leave you?"

"Because you were mad at me?" I ended my reply with a question mark as I wasn't sure of what I said.

He remained silent for a few seconds before taking a deep breath.

"I'm not mad at you." He said slowly as she shook his head.

"Then why did you leave? If you're not mad at me then why didn't you talk to me inside earlier?"

"I'm not mad at you, Sam, I'm just upset about what I saw!"

God, you don't know how much I wanted to see and hug you earlier, but when I saw that man with you, talking and sitting next to you, I couldn't understand--- I couldn't explain what I felt. I was upset, mad--- jealous all at the same time. I wanted to surprise you but it was me who was surprised." "Luke..." I took a deep breath as I held his hands.
