Gale stood by the kitchen counter doing something on his computer while I cooked for us dinner, it been silent for a while and it was starting to suffocate me. I wanted to see what he was doing but also didn't want to seem nosy.I knew he could sense my curiosity but didn't say any thing and it was getting to me, I started to think if it concerns the little chat we had with Rebecca yesterday but no cause I could see his beautiful smile frequently.
Chapter SixteenThe night around seemed so silent send me deep into thoughts. I passed by couples holding hand and all cozy making my heart drown in more confusion and pain.

I was starting to give up on pleasing her. Gale loved me and that's all that matters, as long as he keeps fighting for me I also won't stop fighting for him.

Chapter Twenty ThreeWhen I walked in here I thought I was late only to find that Gale himself hadn't arrived yet.He had booked a table at the second floor by the balcony, the view was nice. It felt like I had the map around every sky scraper in the city.But soon I realised that it had been an hour and Gale was no where to be found, the breeze blew hard and I felt goose bumps rise on my skin.I grabbed my phone and dialed his number, waiting patiently I realised his phone was off.
