Chapter 90: What's she talking about?
The next day, while I was at work, I was in a very bad mood. I had already told Betty what happened over the phone so I was expecting her.
Working as a receptionist, even if you are upset, you still have to smile at customers which is so annoying. While I was at work, Betty walked into the hospital wearing a long coat and black sunglasses. She walked to me and moved the glasses down to her nose with her index finger,
"Sorry can I speak to the doctor?" she asked with a weird voice,
Though I was in a bad mood, I chuckled,
"Hey, girl,"
"Hi Angie," she said and removed the glasses.
"I'm so glad you showed up, I was in a really bad mood,"
"I know, but can I ask you something?"
"What is it?"
"Do you like Jeff?"
"What, no, I don't,"
"Really?"
"Yeah, I mean gross,"
"Then why are you upset?"
"I uh... I don't know,"
"No, you can't be angry for no reason, tell me why you're upset,"
"I don't know Betty,"
"Well, maybe you're upset because of the way you treated Jeff,"
"What do you mean?"
"You know what I mean Angie, you're upset because of the way you treated Jeff yesterday,"
"No, I'm not,"
"Then why are you angry?" Betty asked and I remained quiet.
"Listen, it's not a crime to fall in love with someone else if your first relationship didn't work out,"
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm saying maybe you like Jeff and you hate the fact that you like him, and you're frustrated you yelled at him and at the same time you're trying to be happy and feel less concerned about what you did to him,"
I sighed,
"Betty, I..,"
"I know you were heartbroken, and it's not your fault you don't trust any guy anymore but I need you to do me a favour, trust Jeff,"
"Betty no, what are you even talking about, it was your that pushed me to Jones and you saw how it ended now you're asking me to trust another guy,"
"Angie listen to me, I'm not asking you to trust Jeff neither I'm I asking you to date him, just give him a chance to get close to you, don't trust him, Angie, trust me. Would you let what Jones did to you make you never fall in love again? Love is a beautiful thing believe me so why let one asshole be the reason you never fall in love again?" Betty asked and I remained quiet, "Just try to know him better Angie, and if your heart tells you he's good, then follow him,"
"But why are you telling me all this?"
"Because you are my best friend and I love you, and I don't want what Jones did to you to make you never fall in love again because you'll miss out on the best part of love,"
