Chapter 60: Kellen's Ex-Girlfriend
...
Did she just say that she's Kellen's ex-girlfriend? I've never heard of her before. Kellen doesn't like talking about them and neither am I so I can't prevent myself from being shocked. I never thought I'll see one of his ex-girlfriends hundreds of miles away from Brooklyn. Does she live here in Ohio?
"No, I'm just... surprised." Kellen forced a smile before standing up and that girl kissed his cheek as a greeting, I think. Is she French or something?
"Well, it was surprising to see you too," she told him. "Oh, hello. Are you his secretary?"
I also stood up as a sign of respect. "Ah, yes. I'm Olivia, Miss."
"Actually she's my—" Kellen was about to say something but I did not let him.
"I'm his secretary," I repeated so he won't dare to say it. I don't know the reason why I act like this. Maybe because I don't want her to know that I'm his girlfriend. I don't look like someone who can wear signature brands and have a designer bag as she does.
"O-okay?" She might have noticed that I was acting a bit weird. "My name is Hattie Wilson. I'm a friend of Kellen. But we also dated back then," she laughed when she remembered.
I just laughed with her because I really don't know how to react to that. I looked at Kellen who was now looking worried about me. I feel insecure and uncomfortable.
...
"Liv, please talk to me. Are you mad?" he followed me to my room. My mind was full of questions and I'm now overthinking things about earlier. "Hey," he softly said before pulling my arm to make me face him. "Are you mad? I'm sorry—"
"No, Kellen. I'm not mad," I answered him.
"Then why are you avoiding me? Is it about Hattie? Liv, she's in the past now," he tried to explain.
"I know. I know," I said. "I'm sorry if I'm being paranoid of something I don't need to worry about. I just didn't expect to see one of your... ex-girlfriends." He took a deep breath before pulling my chin up so I could meet his eyes.
"Liv, if you feel intimidated, just remember that you're my girlfriend, not her. You're the one I like and the one I love," he told me.
"But... did you love her?" I asked him. I couldn't get it out of my head so it just came out of my mouth.
He couldn't speak. It looks like I already know the answer. "Yes. I loved her. But it's all in the past now. And I've never loved someone as much as I love you, Liv. Please believe me."
It's hard for me to hear that. Even though it's all in the past, I still can't act like everything is okay with me. "I need to be alone, please."
...
It has been three hours since he left my room. I'm now wearing my pajamas and I'm sitting on my bed while hugging my pillow. I feel guilty already. Earlier, I thought I was the one that needs an explanation. Now, I want to apologize for how I acted. I should've not been like that lately. I'm his present and that's all in matters.
I stood up and I even hesitated to open the door but I still did. I slowly walked towards his room and knocked on the door but he didn't open it. I opened it but I saw no one. He might be in the living room so I went there but he's still out of sight. I went to the kitchen and that's where I saw him. He's drinking a glass of bourbon while his other hand is on the countertop. I was barefooted when I went closer to him that's why he didn't hear me.
"Kellen," I called him and before he could turn around, I hugged him from the back. "I'm sorry," I said, leaning my head on his back. He held my hand for a few seconds before removing it. He then turned around to face me.
"Are you still mad at me?" Kellen softly asked. He doesn't seem to be drunk.
I shook my head to say now. "I realized I shouldn't be. As you have said, it's all in the past. I should not worry about it anymore because I already have you. I'm sorry for being like that earlier. I didn't mean to," I explained to him to make things clear. I hate it when we have this kind of misunderstanding. I don't like it whenever I'm away from him.
"You don't have to say sorry." He brushed my cheek using the back of his hand. "I love you, okay?"
"I love you too," I said before hugging him again.
...
After a long drive, we're now at the airport. We're taking our flight back to Brooklyn today. Our expected time to arrive is at 7:00 AM.
"You're cheating," I told him before rolling my eyes.
He chuckled when he saw me do that. "Aww, my baby's annoyed. Let's have another round," he told me.
At first, I didn't want to but he forced me so we played another round and I won! Well, even though I know he meant to let himself be defeated but I'm still happy that I won.
"Okay, now she's happy," he chuckled while fixing the cards.
Time passed by and the lights are now off. We're now sleeping on the portable bed inside the private plane. It's very comfortable lying here.
After more than 8 hours of flight, we're already back in Brooklyn. We still have work at the hotel but Kellen wants me to have rest first at his penthouse.
"What about you?" I asked while we're inside the elevator.
"I feel fine. You don't look like you had enough sleep," he said and looked at me.
"And neither you do," I told him.
He pinched my nose like I was a child. "Just get some rest. I know you're exhausted," he said before leaving the elevator because we're already at the 45th floor where his office is located.
I stayed inside because I'm not gonna lie, I really didn't have enough sleep so I'll accept his offer of resting for a while. I then entered his penthouse and went straight to the bedroom to have a catnap.
...
"Summer, what are you saying?"
I'm putting back her clothes to her closet. She's planning on leaving our apartment with an unclear reason.
"I need to leave now. I already know the truth," she told me, putting her clothes on her bag again.
"I don't understand. What are you trying to say? What truth?" I curiously asked her. I really can't understand what's happening. Why did she suddenly want to leave me?
"Go find it for yourself," Summer said and walked away with her bag.
"Summer, please!" I was going to chase her but I stepped on something. It's a picture frame and the glass was broken by me. I slowly kneeled and picked it up and I saw a childhood picture of Summer and... someone I don't know.
Why is it blurred? I wiped it using the hem of my shirt but the face of the other kid she's with is still blurry. Where did this picture come from? I don't remember that we had this in our apartment.
I put it down before chasing after Summer again. The door was left open so I got out of the house easily. Then, I saw her getting into someone's car. But she turned around when I called her. I'm already crying because it feels like she's leaving me for good. I don't understand a thing right now.
"I'm sorry, Liv. But this is where I truly belong. I need to go now," she told me and I couldn't answer anymore. I just let the tears fall down to my face. Why is this happening? Why does she need to leave me?
...
I heavily breathe when I woke up. There were tears in my eyes when I remembered the nightmare I had.

While we're in the plane, Kellen wants us to play cards so we did. I was annoyed when he always wins every single round. I thought I was going to win the last one but he still did."You're cheating," I told him before rolling my eyes.
