He used to hate her

A day later, Sofia left the dinner earlier. Because of me. I convinced her to go and assured her I will do the rest of the work. It's all for her birthday. We don't have much money but atleast I want to buy her a cake.

Thinking of Xander, he hasn't visited me today. But I know he will visit me in a different. First, it was the dinner and then the kitchen. Today it could be any place. But I hope it shouldn't be my home. I'm not living alone.

Anyways, I have reached the cake shop at 8:00 pm. I have to select something to buy for her. If I have more money, I won't look for something less costly.

I entered the shop, looking everywhere for some minutes but nothing is under my budget. I don't feel like this is going to work. When did I become incapable of buying Cake?

I explored the same shop over and over again while the other customers already bought and left. But then something caught my eyes. A cake that I cannot buy in this life. A wedding cake. It has four layers. It's a mixture of white and pink. The one combination I have always loved. I admired it inside the glass. What am I doing here? I can't even buy a cheap cake but I'm looking at expensive ones. Even the decorations look so complicated. I have to leave but my feet aren't moving.

" Do you like this? We can buy this for our wedding in future?" I almost lost my balance when I heard a familiar. The one voice I always love to hear. Am I dreaming or Xander follows me everywhere?

" What? What are you doing here? Why are you following me?" I whispered silently without disturbing the other customers.

" You have been looking at the cake for a long time. We can buy this for us if you want it. After selecting the cake, we can choose our wedding dress and.."

" Stop it. Why are you planning something impossible? I don't know if you forget or not but I remember one thing. You are getting married to Veronica in two days. Just two days." I told him angrily. But then I regretting it. I shouldn't have said it. He doesn't want the wedding to happen.

Xander had a hurt look on his face. He just took a moment of silence before talking again.
