Chapter 153

<>><><><>

Gangtae and Scott are done with basketball for the day so they're getting ready to leave the court

Sasha pulls up outside the basketball court and makes her way towards Scott and Gangtae

Sasha's POV

I find myself wanting Gangtae's company these days. It hasn't been like this before.

I guess he's a very big distraction from Adrian he has been keeping me sane from not having Adrian around me.

Gangtae has really been a good friend to me and he's like an anchor for me because surprisingly I don't feel unloved and I don't miss my parents.

He's always there when I need some company and someone to hang out with.

I still miss Adrian though. Anytime I remember that Adrian is still mad at me I feel sad to my stomach. Adrian is a very special person to me and I really want his forgiveness but I should give him some space to get over what I did to him and Kelly.

"Since Kelly came into LA I know Adrian won't rest till he gets her back" I overhear Scott saying to Gangtae

"Kelly's in LA?" I ask in shock and they both turn their attention to me

"Yeah she is Sash" Gangtae answers me and I heart skips. I feel a pang in my chest and a weird feeling at the pit of my stomach and it only happens to me when I'm nervous or scared about something.

"I'll see you later man" Scott says to Gangtae without glancing at me. He  is about to walk past me but I block his way

"Scott.. do you hate me so much that you won't even talk to me?.. you didn't even answer my question about Kelly" I say to him

"Tae answered your question didn't he?.. look Sash.. I really have to go. Ashely is waiting for me to pick her up from work so I've got to run" Scott says before walking out of the court and driving away in his car

"Sash.. sorry for Scott's behavior" Gangtae says apologising to me "it's fine.. I'm not angry at him" I say to him as I have that unsettling feeling in my stomach again when I remember that Kelly is in LA now

"So you knew Kelly's in LA and you didn't tell me?" I ask Gangtae and Gangtae sighs

"I didn't tell you because I knew you wouldn't be so happy about it" Gangtae says to me

"And why wouldn't I be happy about Kelly being in LA? Is there a restriction against Kelly coming into LA?" I ask him trying to hide my nervousness he gives me a knowing look

"What?.. don't give me that look Tae" I say to him.

"I.. I actually want to apologise to everyone including Adrian and Kelly" I say to him trying to convince him that I have no hard feelings towards Adrian and especially Kelly.

He looks surprised by what I just said. "You really want to apologise?" Gangtae asks me in disbelief

"Yyeah.." I stutter as the reality of what I just blurted out to do sink in.

I'm definitely not ready to face both Kelly and Adrian and have Kelly gloat over my apology to her. The thought alone makes me cringe

"You Sasha Elizabeth Clinton wants to apologise to Kelly?.." he says and I gulp

"Not only Kelly but Adrian too" I say "I'm not surprised that you want to apologise to Adrian but to Kelly as well?.. wow! I'm proud of you Sash" he says to me and I feel my heart skip when Gangtae says he's proud of me and I unknowingly smile at him when he says that

"Come on...let's go have dinner Sash" he says to me.

"Okay Tae.. take my keys" I say to him "you brought your car?" He asks "yeah.. I did" I answer "I didn't know you came here with your car" I answer awkwardly and he chuckles a little and for the first time his chuckle actually sounds really nice in my ears.

What's wrong with me? Why am I feeling weird things now?

"Okay.. I'll just come back for my car after I drop you off" he says bringing me out of my thoughts

"Okay" I say to him before we leave to have dinner together.
