Chapter 18

I made a mistake.  Certainly, she hasn't moved on with her ex who is now returning.  It means she still loves him...and it also means she doesn't love me.
"God...I missed you so damn much!" I clenched my fist and try to hold back my tears. I immediately turned back in their direction and walked to the car and immediately drove away.
I don't want to see her with someone else. I know I look selfish because of being stingy though she's not even mine.
And that is bad. I don't want to strangle her with my selfishness, I don't want her to suffer more.  She only considers me a friend, I have to accept it so that she won't be in trouble and just be happy instead.
I knew I would be happy too when she was happy, even if those smiles were no longer smiling at me.
I don't want her to be with someone else, but I don't want her to suffer and hate me more if I force him to be mine.
"I love you," I whispered on the road, now seeing Amelie's smiling face.  This is dangerous. I can see her angelic face everywhere.
"I love you so damn much,"
And I want you to live freely, so I'll set you free.  Fly high, my love.
Finally, I let her go. I'm glad she's happy now.  I'll do everything for her, even if I lose everything.
Shane Edmeryl's Point of View
"Good afternoon, Mr. Harper." I politely greeted him when he arrived at the place where his second date with Ms.  Smith will be.
"Good morning," he greeted and went straight inside, not even throw a glimpse at me.
I didn't expect that, I was stunned and thought for a moment.  I thought...gosh Amelie!  Stop it!  It's good that he's avoiding you now!  Isn't that what you want? The more he stays away from you and gets closer to Ms.  Gizle!
Maybe so, Anoush has now realized that we don't really fit in for each other.
It was as if something suddenly stabbed my heart at the thought and that stab added, even more, when Ms.  Gizle and Sir Anoush greeted each other happily.
What the hell, Amelie? That's just right so please, don't act like a stupid!  My goodness!  Just focus at work!
I shook myself and straightened up.  I approached the waiter and told him to deliver the food to Ms. Smith's table to get their lunch date started.
I just watched them eat happily while the other staff pictured them for remembrance or guarded their security.
"Is that a face of being heartbroken?" My face went bad when Denny surprised me.
"Tss...no! You know, I'm really happy now that Mr. Harper has finally realized that we're not a match. That he'd better try to give chance about him with Ms. Smith. I'm happy now that he's having fun with her. I have no reason to be broken duh! Work comes first, don't be silly, okay? "she just raised an eyebrow.
"Defensive much, sis?"
"Ha! What's so defensive about it? I'm just telling the truth! Besides, whether I like him or not...it doesn't matter, I'll be okay soon. Don't worry, I'm too beautiful to brood everything and be depressed in one corner."I said confidently.
"'K...I thought that's what a Ms. Matchmaker's brokenhearted looks like. We don't have to worry anymore because you're really beautiful, that's why until now you still don't have a boyfriend because you're so beautiful"  Denny was being damn sarcastic.
"All right, slap that f*cking sentence to me again. You know,  I'm just really beautiful so all the men are numb, in the end, nothing. No one is trying to flirt. Besides, this angelic face, I know that's why men are also numb because they think I already have a boyfriend, so they didn't even dare to try. They're scared!" she just nodded.
"Okay...okay...okay... So I think, because of your goddess's face, I bet you'll be an old virgin."
"I know right--" I was stunned by what she said and realized what she had said. "Y-you!" I threatened her at the same time because I was so annoyed with her.
"You're crazy! I'm not that old duh! Well...i-if that's the case, what's wrong?!" I want to cry now because of the intensity of her teasing.
"Being single forever is not bad! You have freedom, you can do whatever you want until you die! No problem, no pain in the pocket, time is not wasted! So being single is the best!" she nodded again.
"Okay, ma'am. It's up to you to find a partner when you're old, ah? Someone to clean your ass when you poop, someone to help you take a shower--"
"Shut up and get lost." I shuddered because she was overreacting.  She's lucky that she's my best friend, otherwise, I might not have been able to control myself before.
"Here it is, leaving. Bye, Amelie bestie mwah! By the way, good luck finding your own Mr. Harper!" she hurriedly winked and flew a kiss at me.
My own Mr. Harper? Wtf is wrong with her?! It's not like there's another one. But the truth is, he's the only man I love. The only Mr. Anoush Harper who entered my life recklessly.
I just shook and was shocked to see that Anoush and Gizle were no longer there in their seats.
I got confused and looked around and was stunned again when I saw them coming out and walking away.
"Boss, let's go home. Mr. Harper said he will take care of the rest, he and Ms. Smith will take a walk then he will drive her home." I didn't expect that.
"But this is the last time we're going to assist them. The next date we have to leave them alone, right?" I turned to Denny as she touched my left shoulder.
On the contract, only two dates we would assist in supporting our client. Then the next date will be all theirs,  we will not bother them again. Then if the two of them got together, our job has finally done.
"Let's go. They'll just walk and I have security guards assigned to guard the two of them. They'll be safe." I just nodded and sighed.
"Take a rest. You still need a beauty rest, right?" I sighed again at her joke.
I headed to the parking lot and started the car.  I turned my look to the side of the road to see the two of them walking happily while having a conversation.
I just wish I was there, I just wish I was with him. I wish I'm the one making her happy now.
But that's impossible. He's happy now, that's what it should be. He is fine. Just be patient, Amelie, when they got together, he'll be gone from your life. That's what you want in the first place, isn't it? To lose that stupid jerk in your life.
I looked to the front and accelerated the car. My tears were slowly dripping so I had to park the car on the side of the road bridge first because I might just have had an accident when I was still driving with my blurry eyes.
I got out of the car and headed for the handle of its bridge.  I looked far from where I stand and there I could see our happy memories.
I just let the tears flow--
"Amelie-" I looked at my back when someone put a jacket on me.
"J-Julius..." I didn't expect him to be here now and worried about me.
It was Anoush's voice who's calling me, but I think I'm mistaken because it's Julius who's here now.
H-how did he find me? Is he just following me? Why him? Why can't be...why can't be...
I looked at the side of the road and saw Ms. Gizle and Sir Anoush also standing from afar and just staring at us.  I looked at Mr.  Harper.
Why can't be him instead?
I looked at them both. Gizle's handheld his and I felt even more jealous.
"Why are you crying?" I looked back at Julius who was now wiping the tears from my cheek.
"C-can you take me home?" That's all that came out of my mouth.  I don't like what's happening now, the more I don't like what I said to my stupid ex, but it's all done now.  All I want is to rest, I don't have the strength to drive anymore.
"S-sure, I'll take you home." Julius assist me into the passenger seat of my car, but before I could enter I looked at Anoush.
His intensified jaw could not escape my eyes, seems to be well prepared to rush into battle.  His clenched fist signifies that he can knock out anyone who tries to obstruct him. His eyes blazed like fire as if it could pull out daggers and throw them at where he was glaring.
"Be careful." I looked back at Julius as he put his palm on my head to prevent my head not to hit on the roof of my car.
I went inside and just waited for him to start the car. Farther and farther away, Anoush gradually disappeared until I could no longer see them.
