I Should Have Known You

EIGHT

Just like other relationships, we encountered challenges like what had happened weeks after...

“Allan! Why you are always holds your phone? Is there something that I don't know?” I shouted at him.

“No! Would you please be quiet?” He said, his voice tough.

“Shut up Allan! This is my house! I have the right to speak!” I said.

“Let me explain.”

“No! You don't have to explain it, I know, you have a girl.”

“Yes, I have a girl in my phone, do you wanna see it?” He said. It looks like he's annoying me.

“You know what? You can leave now.”

“Wait.”

I pushed him to the door. “Just go.” Damn it! I knew it! “Leave me alone!” I said.

“I will not leave until you let me in and explain.” He said.

I knew he'll break my heart, but I can't resist. After two hours of waiting I let him in again.

“Thank you Elisse.”

“What do you expect? A 'You're welcome?' answer?” I told him.

“Here's my phone. Take it. “

I hesitated, but then I took it. Allan just stood up, waiting for me to respond. As I browsed it, I saw my photo, he used it as a wallpaper. No! There's got to be something. Then I browsed the conversation I saw many but there's no message from any other girls. I glanced back at him, he's still. I wonder what's on his mind right now. I looked back at the phone. What now? Think Elisse. Yeah! Memory! I thought. So I browsed the photos. What? Almost three thousand photos! I thought.

“You've got to be kidding me Allan, almost three thousand photos? What the heck are you doing?” I said, waiting for the photos to load, “Seriously Allan.

“Look for it.”

“Shut up!” I told him.

It took minutes to load. I was shocked to what I had seen, it was me on the photos! I viewed all of it, and its all candid shots! I don't even know he did that.

“What are this?” I said. My voice cold.

“It's you.”

“But why are you doing this?”

“Because I love you.”

I can't say anything. Like I was paralyzed.

He walked towards me, “You know I won't do anything that would make your heart break right.” He said.

“Um, I'm sorry Allan, I thought you have an affair with somebody.” I said, now my voice calm.

He hugged me, “I love you.” He said.

“I love you too Allan.”

In that particular moment I felt a little heartache. I hoped that there's no next.

We last long enough and our relationship is getting stronger and happier. One day he asked me out on a date. This time he surprised me. He showed me his SUV, He's trying to impress me and yes he did.
