Isabelle Pov...
We are having our usual bonding, shopping and eating. This is how we treat our stress and depression, bleeding our cards dry. Luckily, we have a body that never gains fat. Whatever we eat, we are still sexy and flawless. Most envied us even our friendship.
"Oh god, Isabelle! Victoria's Secret is having a fifty percent discount today, I almost forgot!" She exclaimed, really excited. She didn't even hear my response as she ran towards Victoria's Secret shop. I laughed, catching up with her.
We were busy buying our lingerie when she received a call. She was ecstatic, jumping and giggling in front of me before answering her phone. She calmed herself before talking.
"Hi!" She greeted, retraining herself how excited and flattered she was. I bite my lip watching her.
"Okay!"
"As in now?" She asked to confirm but her eyes were on me.
"Okay! I'm with my bestie right now, but I can ask her to come with me!" She responded, still restraining her giggles, biting her lower lip.
After the call, we immediately asked the sales lady to wrap up our orders in a hurry, going to the plaza where she was asked to go. I followed her silently as I couldn't relate to her happiness. I don't know what it is all about! All I know is to support my bestie for her happiness.
While nearing the place where she was told, I could see a little crowd and my heart thumped faster! I couldn't breathe properly. My legs are starting to shake nervously!
Why am I feeling this way?
What is in that crowd that makes me shiver like this? I keep on asking myself. I was supposed to pull Elaine's hand when a group of couples serenaded her while they were giving her a bunch of roses from each of the people she passed by. I stay back watching what is going on.
When they stop singing, another sexy baritone voice sings a song by Bruno Mars: Just the Way You Are!
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are
Yeah
Feeling the familiarity with his voice, my heart sank the moment he appeared behind the crowd. My breath hitched, staring at him lovingly singing a perfect song for her. I felt my heart slowly rip into my chest, agonizing!
Why? How? These are the words that slowly slip on my lips, watching them.
I can barely stand to watch them. My tears slowly fell as I covered my mouth to suppress my sobs. I love him so much and supported him, but why did he pick Elaine?
After he sings the whole song to serenade her. He gave her a huge bouquet before asking her:
"Hi, Elaine!" He greeted her, smiling and staring at her lovingly.
"Hi Denzel!" Elaine giggled.
"I don't know how to court a woman, but one thing is sure, that I like you!" He started.
The pain is already unbearable listening to and watching them. I can't believe witnessing this scene. I thought Denzel liked me as I got all his responses, but what just happened? I mumbled, sniffling a few meters away from them.
