BLAIRE

We were completely silent as we started eating dinner. I was in awe upon seeing this arrangement from afar. But I was more amazed upon seeing it upfront. Petals of flowers were sc atte red on the sand, while the table was surrounded by small candles placed on the ground as well. The whole set-up was definitely romantic.

But I still can’t stop thinking, Why is he making all these efforts when what’s going on between us is clearly transactional? If not for what happened in the past, I’ll assume that he wanted to win me back.

Is he?

No matter how much I wanted to get all the answers I needed, I’m afraid to hear the truth. These past few days have been tough, for they brought out all the unwanted feelings that I’ve been hiding inside me. Despite my attempt to deny what I truly feel, all my attempts will come crushing down on me the moment I lay my eyes on him. He’s my weakness, my Achilles heel.

Even though I haven’t eaten anything since this morning, sitting across from Sebastian makes my food hard to swallow.

“You don’t like the food?” he asked. He probably noticed that I was barely touching my food.

“N-No. It’s not like that. The food is delicious,” I answered.

“So, what? Can’t stop thinking about your boyfriend after you talked to him?” He said it with an evident coldness in his voice.

I’m getting weary of his constant accusations. I hoped to convey that I’m no longer available, but broaching that subject always sours his mood, inevitably spiraling into

anger.

I took a loud breath before deciding to clear it up with him. “I don’t have a boyfriend,” I casually admitted.

Without lifting my head, I noticed from my peripheral view that he was stunned hearing what I said. He’s probably not expecting that answer.

“The, who is—”

“Cut it, Sebastian,” I declared, cutting him off. I felt a firmness in my tone as I lifted my head, locking eyes with him. The air cra ckled with charged intensity, a silent challenge between us as my gaze held unwavering. “You don’t have the liberty to ask questions

about my personal life. The same goes with me. I’m not going to ask questions about you.”

He shrugged his shoulders. “You can ask me all you want,” he responded.

I squinted my eyes, weighing whether he was telling the truth or not. Will he really be able to answer my questions if I dare to ask?

“So, how are you and Catherine?” I asked bravely. I realized that no matter what his answer is, it doesn’t change the facts about what happened in the past. And it will definitely not change the course of our future.

“Eat. Your food is getting cold,” he said, evading the topic.

I scoff. As expected, Sebastian and his obsession with secrecy. I just shook my head and decided not to press more on that matter. I’m not really interested in knowing. I was just testing whether he’s telling the truth or not. And obviously, he’s lying.
