PROLOGUE

KATLEYA RAN to Blue’s room. She had entered it several times before, so she knew exactly where it was. Upon reaching the door, she barged in without even knocking. She didn’t see the person she came for, but she didn’t lose hope and let her eyes wander around the room. She realized that Blue was on the balcony, standing with his back to her, gazing up at the sky. He was still wearing the same clothes he wore when he came from her house.

She approached him on the balcony and didn’t hesitate to wrap her arms tightly around Blue from behind. “I’m sorry,” Katleya said, her voice laced with sorrow.

“What are you doing here?” Blue’s voice was colder than the wind. He didn’t even bother to look at her.

“I’m here because I love you,” Katleya said, tears brimming in her eyes as she tried to hold them back. She knew she was the reason why he was acting this way. “I love you, Pie.”

Blue turned to face her. “Why are you doing this?”

Blue wanted to stop his tears, but he failed as they spilled over. He was hurting for her, too. He didn’t want things to turn out this way between them. He wiped the tears that streamed down his face.

“I only see you as a sister, Kat. I don’t love you.”

Katleya abruptly pressed her lips against his, but he pushed her away. She stumbled.

“What the hell!” Blue shouted.

Katleya stood up and kissed him again, but Blue pushed her away once more and stormed back into the room. Like a loyal dog, Katleya followed him. When she saw him heading for the door, she ran ahead to block his way. She even shut the door to ensure he couldn’t leave.

Blue scratched his head in frustration. “What do you want, Kat?”

“Tell me you love me. Love me!” Katleya fell to her knees. “Please, Pie. Tell me that you love me. Please. Please. Please.”

“Kat, come on! Get up. Don’t do this!”

Katleya stood and placed her hands on his face. “What do I lack, Pie? I have all the ingredients, don’t I? I’m ready to cook. But why?”

Katleya sobbed uncontrollably. Blue held her hands and pulled them away from his face.

“You graduated with Latin honors, but why are you so stupid when it comes to me? I don’t love you, Kat! I only see you as a sister. You’re just a friend to me!” Blue shouted.

Katleya stared at Blue, her tears flowing endlessly. She still didn’t lose hope. She wanted to hear him say he loved her. “Undress me if you don’t really love me.”

Without hesitation, Blue stepped closer to Katleya and removed her clothes. She bit her lower lip to suppress her sobs.

“Touch me if you don’t care about me anymore.” Katleya prayed he wouldn’t touch any part of her body, but her hope was crushed. Blue placed his hands on her chest, gently stroking her. She looked at the man she loved as tears streamed down her face.

“F*ck me if you want to get me out of your life.”
