CHAPTER 12
So much more was said in the unsaid.


- Bridgett Devour

"So ....
That means you are a virgin?"

This time he literally choked on the water he was sipping.
I didn't think anyone could ever choke while sipping too. But hey, that's not my problem.

Unfortunately I never got the answer to that question. He got an important business call afterwards and offered to drop me off but I refused saying I need to do the grocery. Which was true, I really needed to. This week was my turn.
I'll need to call Kat to confirm what all I had to buy. I was never good at doing house chores, especially grocery. I would always forget one or the other thing on the list.

I walked towards the main store. It was a bit far away.

I almost fell because of how sudden stop it took.
I was about to give a piece of mind to whoever stepped out if the car but.... turned out it was Maria.

"Hello, dear. I was going to your house only. I called you a few times but you didn't pick up my phone so I thought to visit you myself only." She explained.

She called me? Oh wait....
I didn't turn off my phone from silent this morning.

"I'm really sorry Maria. My phone was on silent. But why did you want to meet me ?" I asked her.
