Contract Agreement With My Bestfriend

Chapter 50: Ivan Greyson

I ring the bell a few times.

I didn't bring a lot of things with me. I begin to feel nervous when I heard the sound of the door opening.

I close my eyes and take a deep breath.

"Via? Love??" His sweet and gentle voice made me feel awkward.

He was so happy to see me.

And all I'm feeling right now is guilt.

"Ivan.. hi" I finally response as I force myself to look back at his eyes.

"You're here?  You're really here right now? in England?" He said while mildly pinching his right cheek to make sure he wasn't just dreaming.

I held his hand to stop himself from pinching his cheeks.

"Yes.. I'm here." I replied with a half hearted smile.

Now I'm feeling more anxious and discourage. 

He's been so good to me and he doesn't deserve to get hurt.

"Wow.. I'm so glad to see you. Why didn't you tell me you were planning to go here? I thought you can't leave the country?" He pull as we get inside his room.

"Yes.. I know I should contacted you first but I didn't want to do it over phone. Sorry for not telling you beforehand." I replied. I sat on the couch while he got me something to drink.

"We just about to wrap up from filming. Just minor editing I guess. I don't think there's anymore to do. We can visit some good places around and have fun. I know we couldn't do it in Thailand but we can do it here now." He said while giving me a big hug.

His arms are so big and warm.

I closed my eyes again.

I can't bring myself to say the words that I need to say to him. 

It didn't feel like it was the right time.

I couldn't break his heart when he is too happy right now.

"Where are your things?" He asked curiously.

"Um.. I'm staying in a different hotel." I reasoned.

"You don't have to, you can stay in my room." He replied smiling.

"I already got the room. It's okay." I replied while avoiding eye contact.

"I–Ivan.. there's something.." I was interrupted by a phone call.

"Wait a sec.. I have to take this." Ivan said as he walk away leaving me in the couch feeling disheartened.

I got a message from Sarah. She was wondering if I already met Ivan and if I'm doing okay.

I gave her a short reply that I'm already in England and that I'm still trying to get the right time to tell Ivan.

After a few minutes, Ivan came back to talk to me.

"Sorry about that, some of the guys wants to have a drink." He mentioned.

He was referring to his cast mates.

"You should join them." I replied encouraging him to have some fun.
