Chapter 21

The Cell phones

I wanted to play dumb, I didn't want to admit that I flirted with Kevin after Gigi got together with him, "I don't know what you're talking about Gigi."
"You don't get what I'm talking about? How about I read to you what I'm talking about?" she said. "The first day that Kevin and I were officially together he text messages you, "Charmaine, we need to talk. Are you free later on today?" Then you text back to him, "I'm busy right now, how about we meet tomorrow?" He then says, "Charmaine, are you really busy? I'm sorry for what had happened, I really want to talk to you right now, see you, and hear you're sweet voice". End of day one. Day two Kevin sends to you, " Good morning sleepy head. Are you awake yet? I miss you." You reply, "Miss you too. I've woken up, have you eaten breakfast yet?" And it continues, day three, he sends to you, "Up yet sleepy head. I miss you."
Day four he sends to you, "Charmaine, I miss you. How come you didn't reply to my text last time? Is everything okay?" Day five, the day of your birthday he sends to you, "Happy Birthday Charmaine <3!" Why did you stop sending text messages to him Charmaine? Felt guilty? Well you should!"
I didn't know what to do, all I could think of was how stupid I was to have done that, and how stupid it was of Kevin to keep those messages and let Gigi get a hold of them. Not only has he broken my heart once before, but he has now ruined the friendship I had with Gigi. "I'm sorry Gigi, I didn't want to-" before I could finish she cut me off.
"Sorry and you didn't want to is all you can say to me Charmaine? No one stuck a knife at your throat threatening you to have an affair with your best friend’s boyfriend."
I knew it wasn't the right time to think about it at the moment, but as guilty as I was, she made me furious. I mean I was with Kevin at the very beginning, and she ended up with him. She isn't the first victim. I really didn't do what I did on purpose to get back at her. I knew it was wrong and stopped. Love is blind, I really just couldn't control myself at the time. All I can do right now is just listen to her crying on the phone, feeling guilty and like a coward, not being about to fend for myself, but at this moment, I was in no position to speak my mind.
Silence, nothing but silence despite the fact that Gigi was sniffing and blowing her nose. We didn't say a word to each other. I know she must be really hurt right now, but I was too, for her accusing me like that, and not giving me the benefit of the doubt. This is all Kevin's fault, I should have listened to his ex whom I met one day.

[Flashback:]____________________________________
Kevin and I were not officially going out yet at this moment, and it was earlier on when I met him. We were walking in the mall until he said he had to go to the washroom.
As I waited on the second floor for Kevin, I looked down to the first floor as I was facing the escalators.
"Charmaine?" a girl suddenly called me.
I turned around to see Niki, she was Kevin's ex. Kevin told me about her and even showed me a picture of her, but he never really told me why he broke up with her.
"Niki right? Umm how do you know me?" I asked her confused. I knew her, but I thought Kevin had already broken up with her before he met me, so I couldn't come up with any possible answer for how she knew who I was.
"That's not important Charmaine. What's important is what I have to tell you. Kevin is a player, a two timer, a jerk. He's not worth your time. Just give it up and break up with him before he breaks your heart," with that she walked away.
________________________________________________

Guess what? Niki was right all this time. Kevin was a two-timing-low-life-jerk. Why couldn't I see it before? I didn't believe her at the time because I just assumed that her opinions would be biased since she just broke up with him. Boy was I wrong.
As I was in my sea of thoughts Gigi finally decided to speak up, "Charmaine I think I'm just going to go to bed. Bye," she finished off coldly.
"Nigh-" before I could finish she hung up on me.

It was late and I didn't want to think too much about it any more either. I decided to fluff up my pillow and just go to sleep.

After all that had happened I just stayed at home for the next couple days. Tavia dropped by for a few times to check up on me and see what I was up to. The guys were busy with their schedule of interviews and photo shoots.

Today I was watching the interview that the guys had the day after the concert, and I was sure glad I didn't hear my name come up yet. Also, surprisingly my parents never asked me about the guys, or the night of the concert. Possibly they never saw the news about it, or they decided to change from being overprotective to a little more open minded.
Suddenly my phone rang, "Shirley," I whispered to myself. That's odd; we haven't talked to each other in years, why would she call me? She was always closer with Gigi...
I picked up the phone, "Hello?"
"Charmaine Sheh, how could you do such an ungrateful thing like that to Gigi. Playing the third wheel and flirting with her boyfriend. Soon enough everyone will know and turn your back on you!" she finished yelling and hung up.
I was in shock. It's understandable to tell a few of your close friends, but to have Gigi allow everyone to know just to get revenge and have everyone turn their back to me, that's ridiculous. Tears flowed from my eyes, this feeling was worst then when I found out that Gigi went out with Kevin. Gigi and I used to be so close. We shared our problems and would spend hours on the phone talking to one another, until Kevin came into the picture.
"It's all your fault Kevin Cheng!" I screamed out in frustration.

I sat on my couch staring at my feet until I heard my name coming from the TV.
"So Raymond, who is this Charmaine girl? You guys said that she was a special friend, but is she a special friend to all of you, or only one in particular?" the interviewer asked.
"Well," Raymond started off.
I was really curious of what Raymond had to say. I shouldn't expect too much since the guys are on TV, but deep inside I have realized that Raymond means a lot to me as much as I try to brush this feeling away.
"She's a special friend to all of us. She's not like many other girls, treating us as normal people as oppose to a big shot celebrity," Raymond finished as Ron and Bosco nodded in agreement.
"So is there or is there not a possibility for your relationship to reach a new level?" the interviewer asked Raymond.
Raymond chuckled, "Anything is possible."
"Well folks lets take a short break for now," the interview said as the commercials came on.

"Anything is possible," I repeated to myself. "Would Raymond really like me," I kept thinking. I really wanted to call him right now to see how he was doing lately. Taking my phone into my hands I just stared at it, as I pressed some buttons to open up my phone book scrolling down the Raymond's number.
