One's Boundaries

Chapter 17: Questions & Disbeliefs

NEXT MORNING

08:00 A.M

*Knocking on the door.*

I heard someone knocking on my door. 

Me: (sleepy) Who...is..it?

I just had a crazy night yesterday, and I am trying to recover.

Zane barged into my room and pulled me out of it.

Me: Zane! I am still tir---

Zane: Your entire workplace is on our door!

Me: (awaken) What?! What do you mean on our doorstep?

Zane: I mean what I mean (sighs) Sorry twin, but you might have some explanation to do to your colleagues.

Me: Oh no! About my engagement! (sighs) There's no turning back from here I guess...

I looked at Alicia and Ziana.

Me: How are you both keeping?

Alicia: I just want to know how you will explain your engagement to them.

Me: Please don't remind me.

Alicia: Okay then, but on a serious note, what are you going to tell them?

Me: I don't know...

I went to the doorhole.

The entire office, including Nathan and Jonathan, is on our doorstep, right now. On Saturday.

Me: I just want to... never mind. It's my mess, I have to get myself out of it.

Ziana: You mean you were dragged into it?

Me: Thanks Zi.

I opened the door.

Me: Hello everyone.

Riana came in front.

Me: Are you... okay, Riana?

Riana: What do you mean, 'Am I okay?!' Of course not! You are Lee---

I closed her mouth.

Me: Come inside everyone. (looks at Ziana, Alicia, and Zane) May I?

Zane: Sure.

Everyone came inside. After I closed the door, I saw Leah eyeing Zane.

Me: Don't think about Leah. I'm watching you.

Leah: Geez, okay Liana... Romano.

Zane: I will be out with Ziana.

Ziana: Where are we going to?

Ziana was dragged away by Zane and Alicia stayed with me, which felt much better because I would have been interrogated by them.

Me: Does anyone want something to drink?

Them: No, thank you.

Me: Okay, you are all acting weird.

Riana: Of course! How am I supposed to react when you said you want nothing with romance the next thing, you are getting married to Lee Romano!

Kayla: Not going to lie, Liana that was a HUGE step.

Nathan and Jonathan kept silent while the three women were whining.

Me: I know, and it came... as a surprise for me too.

Leah: Okay, what do you mean?

Me: Well, we have---

Alicia: Those two were so annoying and cute to see at the same time... they would always talk long on the phone every day.

Nathan: Really? And you decided to keep it a secret? Wow...
