Love is not treating me well
Shit. I fuck up. Me and my stupid mouth.
"Wait" i grab her wrist. She looks at my arm. I let it go.
"Have a seat please. We can start over" i say.
She thinks. After what it seems like three seconds she takes her seat. I let out a sigh of relief.
"I never catch your name. My name is Elsa" i introduce myself as I offer my right hand.
"I'm Anna" she shakes my hand.
"We're sisters" i exclaim.
"Excuse me?" she asks me in disbelief.
"My name is Elsa." She stares at me perplexed.
"In Frozen the two main characters are named Elsa and Anna. They're siblings" i explain to her.
"Oh." Is her only reply.
...
"Never a fan of Disney" she continues. I scoff at that. Folding my hands across my chest.
"Your highness, for being a queen, you sure know how to behave."
And she said she's not a fan of Disney. How in the hell she knows that Elsa is the queen.
"I have a little sister. She dragged me to the movie and watched it three times." I look at her face. Did i say that aloud.
"No you didn't. I can read facial expression" she grins. Umm. I was scared back then. Okay so the beautiful woman here can play too.
"Well I have a meeting in about two hours. I need to prepare my presentation. If you don't have anymore thing to says, i'd like to excuse myself, my queen" she says in the most polite tone. I like being a queen.
No no no. Don't go. It clears as day that she doesn't like my approach. Well i'm not entirely sure. I have to play it different
"I'm sorry for my attitude". Geez i apologize. It's rare.
"Doesn't queen always right?" she laughs.
"I'm trying to be civil here" i huff in response.
"Anyway" i start.
"I like you. Since i laid my eyes on you, I have a crush on you. By the time goes by it's getting bigger and bigger. Maybe it sounds foolish but i fall for you. I want to know you better. Would you like to go on a date with me?" Finally i say it. I confess my feelings for her.
She's fidgeting in her seat and rub her palms. Am i too blunt?
"Anna..."
"I don't know how to respond to your sudden outburst. Am i flattered. Yes. Do i like you. Yes you too are beautiful" she smiles.
She likes me too. And oh she says i'm beautiful. I smile from ear to ear.
"But..." Oh no. Good things never come with a but.
"But i already have a fiancée" she refuses to meet my eyes.
Fuck. My smile turns into a pout. I thought i have a chance. This is impossible. I look at her ring finger. I don't see a ring.
She must be notice my gaze. She reaches inside her blouse and reveal a necklace with a ring as a pendant. She flashes it in front of me quickly before replace it in her blouse.
"I get itchy sometimes" she says pointing her finger.
"Are you happy? i ask.
"Never been happier" she flashes me a smile. I can see it in her eyes. Love and longing.
"I don't know about it" i sigh in defeat.
Buzz buzz. I glance at my phone. A reminder.
"It's nice meeting you. Have a little chit chat. Umm i will never interfere your relationship but you know where to find me if you, you know things happen" i sound desperate. I've put my best game for this and before they get married i still have my chance.
"See you next time."
She nods and back to her previous table.
I gather my belongings, put it in my briefcase. I sip my last drop of coffee. I never touch my strawberry cheesecake. What a waste. I don't have time and after the heartbreaking rejection, i lost my appetite.
I quickly off to the door and walk away.
