BLIND DATE ( ENGLISH VERSION )

ALEXA’S POV

” Alexa, my child!” My mother called me. She ran towards me and hugged me tightly afterward.

” I am sorry, mommy!” I apologized because I could not imagine how much she worried about me.

” It is okay, Alexa. I am happy that you two already reconciled,” My mother commented after she let go of me.

” And I hope nothing or no one could ever destroy your bonds again,” She sentimentally added and held Cassie’s and my hand. I stared blankly out of nowhere because of what my mother said because I remembered what happened earlier before Cassie and I left James’ house.

” Lex,” I did not know the reason precisely. Still, I felt the nervousness in my body when I saw Cassie’s facial expression shift to a serious one.

” Y-yes?” I stammered.

” I have a favor to ask,”

” You are too serious, Cassie,” I jokingly commented to lighten the atmosphere.

” I know that we were only reconciled, and I felt like I am a bit shameless to ask you a favor,” She remarked. She looked at me in a hesitant manner.

” What is that about Cassie? Come on, I am your twin. What is your favor? I will do anything,” I energetically told her.

” Really? Anything?” She asked to confirm that I would not destroy my words.

” Yes, everything for you,” I smiled.

” May you give back to me, my boyfriend?” Cassie thoughtfully stated.

” W-what?” I stammered while asking. I also silently prayed that I misunderstood what she said.

” I mean, Ken is the only man who loves me except dad, Sebastian, and our cousins. I could not imagine my life without him by my side,” She explained. But that was also how I felt towards Ken.

She gently held my hand and added, ” You still have James by your side, but I have no one. I love him very much. Please, give me back my boyfriend,”

” But he is not a thing that could be returned. He will be the one deciding about it,” I argued.

However, the following words Cassie said to me made my mind a deep thought, ” I know he was just confused right now. I also know he still loves me. Please help me win him back. I could not live without him by my side. You have everything, just give him to me, and I will be fine.”

I came back to my senses when my mother asked, ” What is wrong, Alexa?”

I slightly shook my head and faked a smile, ” Nothing, mommy. Maybe I am just tired. I will go upstairs in my room to rest,”

” All right. Do you want something to eat? I will ask our maid to prepare and bring it to your room,” Mommy asked me while Cassie remained silent.

” I am good, mommy. I will take some rest. Maybe, I would get something to eat later if I became hungry,” I smiled.

” I will go upstairs now, mom, Cassie,” I added. They both nodded, so I started walking towards the stairs.

When I arrived at my room, I immediately lay down in my bed. I miss my bed so much. I bitterly smiled when I stared at the ceiling. I love Cassie, but I also love Ken. I do not know what I should do. Those are the only thing running through my mind until I fall asleep.

***

It is already dark outside when I wake up. Maybe I would not cut off my dream if I did not feel hungry. It was funny that I could only be happy in my dream, but I needed to wake up. Since my tummy already protesting, I decided to go downstairs. However, before I could go to the kitchen, I heard a familiar voice, so I decided to hide on the wall.

” Good evening, nanny!” Ken energetically and politely greeted our maid.

” Good evening, sir! I wondered why you just built some tent outside their house since you always went here,” I heard the nanny jokingly say to Ken.

” Psh, nanny. I am sure Alexa’s father will not appreciate that,” Ken replied.

” So, you decided to go here during this time since they are not here,” Nanny commented.

” Yes! I am afraid uncle will put another black eye on the right if he saw me again,” Ken remarked. Wait, did he say black eye? I could not resist myself anymore and took a peek to see what Ken said. My eyes widened when I saw a black eye on his left eye. Who did that to him?

” Nanny, did you already call A—-” I instantly hid back on the wall when I saw Cassie go out from the kitchen.

” Love, you are here!” It was visible in Cassie’s voice how happy she was when she saw Ken. I bitterly smiled. I remembered that I used to call Ken ‘love’ when we had a fake relationship.

” Oh, you are here, Cassie. May you entertain this man because I need to check my laundry,” Nanny said. I heard her footsteps walking away. Now, it was only Ken and Cassie in the living room.

” Cassandra, I already told you to stop calling me like that,” I heard Ken state in a serious manner.

” Why? You are still my boyfriend,” Cassie asked him.

” Then, let us break up right now,” Ken said coldly.

” W-what?” I looked at them when I heard Cassie’s voice crack down.

I saw how Ken let out a heavy sigh before he spoke, ” I am sorry, Cassandra. But I do not have any feelings toward you anymore. Since your fake death, I taught myself to forget you and I succeeded,”

” N-no, I a-am s-still a-alive, L-love. W-we c-can s-start over a-again,” Cassie begged while trying to reach Ken’s hand. However, Ken avoids it.

” Sandra, I did love you but not anymore. I am sorry. I hope you understand,”

After Ken said those words, he started walking towards the door and left. On the other hand, Cassie falls down to the floor. When I heard car engines leaving already, I decided to go out from where I was hiding and approached Cassie.

” Cassie,” I called her name and hugged her.

Cassie hugged me back and cried in my arms. I let her cry until she calmed down. After a while, Cassie let go of me and faced me.

” He broke up with me,” Cassie stated, which broke down the silence between us. I remained silent because I did not know what I should say to her.

” Alexa, you will help me, right? Please convince him to get back together with me,” Cassie begged while holding my two hands tightly. She looks so hopeless and desperate right now.

” Cassie,” I could only call her name since I pity her situation right now.

” I could not handle if he would not be in my side. It will kill me if I lose him forever.” My heart beats fast because of what Cassie said. Even if it was only words, it brought me so much fear. Even I could no longer feel the pain if Cassie were in danger again. I hugged her again and secretly let out a sigh.

‘ Please forgive me, but I love her. I must do what I know is right,’ I whispered in the air. I made sure that Cassie would not hear it.

When Cassie calmed down, I accompanied her to her room to take some rest. After making sure that she was okay, I went back to my room. I hurriedly grabbed my cell phone and dialed his number.

” Let’s talk,”
