Chapter 32 – Three Things

We all look in the direction of the door when it opened. My heart stopped beating for a second when I saw Marco and Philip entered the cafe. As they walked to our table, I tried to calm myself.

"There's the girl smitten Little Charlie's heart," Philip joked.

I smirked, shaking my head then following their eyes. They were both looking at Albert's hands on my shoulders. Feeling the need for security, my left hand grasped his hand on my right shoulder, and I intentionally lean on him.

Albert looked at me, a bit confused about my action, but he seemed to like it. He lowered his head and gave me a quick kiss on my forehead.

Marco whistled tapping Philip's surprised reaction.

 "Oh oh! Somebody just got his heartbroken," he teased as he sat down on the chair, next to Ed.

Philip followed, sitting next to him, and forced a smile but not looking in my direction.

"Coffee?" I asked as I stood. Sitting there just made me uncomfortable. <
