Chapter 27; Forgive me Lisa

Camilla stayed still and just smirked.

" Really ?" She asked with a gloomy face.

Canary released her waist after seeing her expression.

" What's wrong ? Is everything okay ?" He asked.

" Follow me outside right now !" She declared and walked away.

Canary was perplexed by her sudden reaction. He took it easy and walked after her. They left the hall and went outside where no one was.

It was a little dark and cold outside.

After making sure that they were just the two of them outside Camilla stopped walking and turned to face him.

" Canary, What the hell is going on ?" Camilla raised her voice at him.

He was more confused. " I am the one who should be asking. What the hell is going on with you ?" He questioned.

" You dare ask me that after ignoring me for the whole party ?" She inquired in disbelief.

" I didn't ignore. I was busy interacting with my friends." He said.

" Friends ? Which friends yet you were busy talking and dancing with that bitch ?" Camilla fumed in anger.

" Wait , Which b…, God forbid. Bianca isn't a bitch. I just asked for a dance. Do you have any problem with that ?" Canary asked.

" Of course it hurt me. You were with her the whole night." Camilla barked.

" Why should it hurt you ? Don't I have a right to dance with other women ?" He asked in disbelief.

" Canary, I am your girlfriend" Camilla reminded him.

" What ?" Canary looked more surprised to hear this.

His reaction also amused Camilla.

" Wait, You just said what ?" She questioned.

Now it begun making sense to Canary.

He understood and tried to calm down. " Camilla, I am sorry. I think you misunderstood something." He said.

" Wkat did I misunderstand ?" She asked.

Canary passed his hands through his hair wondering how he was going to explain this to her.

" Okay, Here is the thing. I don't know what makes thing that You are my girlfriend…" His statement broke Camilla's heart into pieces and her eyes turned red immediately.

" Damn.. I thought we were just friends." He added.

Camilla's anger melted into sadness. She couldn't believe what he was saying.

" You thought we were just friends? What of…? What of the words you said to me everyday ? The kisses…the love we …have been making ?" She asked in stutters and tears begin finding their way down her cheeks.

" I thought we did that for fun." He told her sincerely.

" So, You never loved me. Right ?" She asked solemnly.

Canary looked away from her.

" I am sorry.."He mumbled facing her again.

Camilla felt so embarrassed and hurt at the same time.

" Camilla, I…." Before he could complete his statement a hot slap landed on his left cheek.

Camilla slapped him so hard with all her might that he felt his jaws redden up immediately. He swallowed the slap and just stared at her.

" So..all along you have been using me for fun ?" He asked and broke into tears.

" I thought you were also having fun" He said softly.

Camilla shook her head and then walked away in tears.

Canary didn't even release a tear or feel guilty for this. After she was gone he just chuckled in disbelief.

" Camilla, I didn't know that you are naive too." He smirked and turned to go back inside but as he was going back he saw Lisa coming from the other side of the exit.

She had removed the shoes which now she held in her hands. She went to sit down on a bench before seeing Canary and begun messaging her legs.

" Can't believe my feet hurt. I shouldn't trying putting on high heels again." She said thinking she was there alone.

Canary heard her and smiled. He walked to her slowly but she was more focused on pressing her feet so she didn't hear his foot steps.

" Do you want some massage ?" Lisa heard a deep voice ask and looked up immediately to find Canary standing right before her.

" You ?" She asked in disbelief and on remembering she was in a very short dress with half of her thighs out she struggled to pull it back to her knees.

Canary smiled and sat down besides her.

" What are you doing here ?" She asked.

" What are you doing here ?" She asked.

" I just came to have some fresh air." He said.

" Then go and have it ?" Lisa told him stubbornly.

He stared at her in disbelief. " Why are you chasing me away? Can't I have it from here ?" He asked.

" Hahaha.." Lisa laughed out loud which amused him.

" You think I have forgotten eveything you said to me ?" She asked.

" What did I say ?" He asked for a reminder.

" You said it sucks to be around me even for a second. So fuck off !" She said and looked away from him.

Canary couldn't help laughing. " Oh, I really said that. You have a very good memory." He praised.

" I can't forget.." She stated and her face turned serious and sad.

" You hate me so much. You even asked those girls to call me a thief." She said.

" If it weren't for my designs, I could be so far away right now." She said.

Canary felt touched and offended by her words. He stared into space and said.

" I was so stupid..and selfish" Hos statement made Lisa to look at him. He was still staring into space.

He laughed at himself and said. " I really did a very foolish thing." Lisa was surprised to hear these words from him.

Now he looked at her and their eyes met.

" Lisa, I am sorry for everything." He declared.

The way he looked so serious and guilty made her feel like he was indeed sorry for everything.

" Forgive me Lisa.." He spoke again and looked into her so deep.

" Forgive me Lisa.." He said and looked into her eyes so deep.

The look he gave her seemed to melt away all the anger and grudge she kept for him inside.

She first kept silent and then said. " Okay then, I forgive you." She said and looked away from him immediately as she couldn't help his peircing eyes.

" So, Can we be friends ?" He asked still looking at her and this forced her to face him again.

" What ?" She was astonished.

Canary just brought out his hand and gave it to her for a handshake.

" Let's be friends.." He spoke.

Lisa looked at his hand and then his face for sincerity. Did he really want to become her friend ?

" Well, Yes.." She gave in her hand for a handshake.

Canary gave her a smile as they shook hands which she didn't know if she was supposed to respond to or not. She ended up smiling back at him and after they shook hands she looked away from him and stared at the moon.

He noticed and said.

" It's beautiful, Isn't?" He asked.

" Yeah.." She answered.

" Actually, I didn't know that you are this beautiful .." He confessed.

" What ?" Lisa found herself looking back at him.
