The path (Short update)
A few weeks after the camp, Tobin texted her.
Tobin: hey
Chris: Hey
Tobin: What are you doing?
Chris: Reading
Tobin: Boring…what book?
Chris: HP
Tobin: Really? ;)
Chris: No.
Tobin: Aw…
Tobin: So…you free tomorrow?
Chris: Y?
Tobin: I have a meeting near your place. So, wanna meet for lunch?
Chris: Can’t. I’m busy.
Tobin: Reading?
Chris: No
Tobin: Eating?
Chris: Yes…
Tobin: We can eat together?
Chris: I’m meeting someone actually
Tobin: …
Tobin: Is it like a date?
Chris: Sort of…
Tobin: Who is it?
Tobin: Forget it.
Tobin: got to go. ttyl.
Christen just shook her head at the last message from Tobin. Typical. When it’s not into her favor, she just took the high road because it was easier.
Few hours later.
Tobin: Hey..sorry about earlier
Tobin: Chris?
Tobin: Oh…maybe you are asleep.
Tobin: I’m trying hard here, Chris.
Tobin: My head knows it but my heart hurts. I’m still trying to get to the fact that we are just friends now.
Tobin: I should tell you earlier how much you mean to me
Tobin: I regret the choice that I’ve made
Tobin: But knowing that I can lose you to someone else, that made me realised that I don’t want to
Tobin: I lose you once and I don’t intend to let you get away again this time
Tobin: I know it’s not fair but if by being unfair mean that I can get you back, then I don’t care
Tobin: I want you, Chris. I decided I want us to be more than friends
Tobin: So I just want to tell you upfront that I’m getting you back.
Christen read through all Tobin’s message the next day. She didn’t believe what she was reading. Tobin just assumed that she will just jump in joy when she decided to be with her? Please. She was not gullible anymore.
Christen just switched off her phone and get ready for her lunch.
