JEREMY’S PLACE>
Jeremy got home and was welcomed by Tessa who has been waiting
“Finally you’re home” She said happily and walked to him
Jeremy sighed
“Why are you here?” He asked
“Pizza” She raised the box up
“I don’t like eating pizzas” Jeremy said,walking in
“What? You always asked me to bring you pizza even when it’s late” Tessa said,going after him
“I never ate them Tessa” Jeremy said and she stopped
He faced her
“So,you’re saying,you were only punishing and stressing me?” Tessa asked sadly,staring into his eyes
“That’s right” Jeremy responded and Tessa bite her bottom lip
“You must have h@ťěd me a lot” She mumbled,looking down
Jeremy walked closer and took the pizza box from her
“Let’s eat this together” He said and Tessa immediately raised her head up
“Really?” She asked and Jeremy nodded
Tessa smiled and sat down
“Wait here” Jeremy said and left the living room
He returned with drinks
“You don’t really have to come here,waiting for me” He said as he sat down
Tessa got up and sat down close to him
“So you’re going to let me come here anytime I want?” She asked,bringing her face closer
Jeremy stared at her lips and then looked away
“I’m saying,you don’t have to come here again” He muttered and Tessa’s mood changed
“Why? Aren’t we friends?” She asked
“We can be friends without you coming here….”
“I told you I’m in love with you” Tessa said
“But I’m in love with someone else” Jeremy said and tears rolled down Tessa’s eyes
“Who?”
“Alexa” Jeremy replied and Tessa blinked out more tears
“I thought….you feel the same way” She stammered
“That’s what I thought,but I can’t get my mind off her. We might not understand each other so much,but I still love her” Jeremy said
“But…you changed me. You are the only one who understands me,I’m in love with you” Tessa said in tears
“I’m sorry okay? Just….forget about me and don’t change back to the old Tessa I know” Jeremy said
Tessa immediately hugged him
“As long as she love you as much as I do,I don’t mind. But can we be best friends? You’re the only one I have right now,I don’t want to lose you too” Tessa said
Jeremy wrapped his arms around her
“Sure,best friend” He said and Tessa broke the hug
Jeremy wiped her tears
“I’m going to try getting over you,I promise” She sniffs and Jeremy nodded
“So,are you dating her now?” She asked and Jeremy shook his head
“I told her I don’t have any feelings for her again” he replied
“What?! Are you crazy?” Tessa frowned
“I guess I am” Jeremy smiled
“I’m sure you broke her heart,call her” Tessa said
“I don’t want to,I will just do that later” Jeremy smirked
“Gosh,you will receive another slap from her” Tessa said and they both laughed
“I wish she can be less jealous,well I don’t blame her,I’m kinda hot” Jeremy said and Tessa smack his head
“Hot my foot…”
“You were crushing” Jeremy said
“Not anymore!” Tessa yelled and they laughed again
‘I still love you,but I’m sure I will get over it soon….right??’ Tessa said inwardly,staring into his eyes
Jeremy broke the eye contact and opened the pizza box,he turned back to Tessa and she kissed his cheek
“I will try my best not to kiss your lips,just gimme more time” She said and Jeremy rough her hair
“Let’s eat,I’m starving…..I’m eating this just because of you” He said and Tessa smiled
“You’re gonna be stuck after eating this,trust me” She smirked

“f-__-k Rosalie,gosh!” Francisco groaned as he dropped Mariana on the bed
They’ve been out having fun all day and eventually she fell asleep
“She’s so heavy” He muttered and adjusted her properly,he kissed her lips
“Are you saying your rose flower is heavy? That’s harsh” Mariana said and opened her eyes
“I love you” Francisco chuckled and kissed her deeply
“You’re like my sleeping pills,I’m so sleepy,stay right beside me” She said sleepily
“Sure,go to sleep” Francisco kissed her head
“I love you Francis” Mariana said
“I love you more baby,so crazily in love with you” Francisco said
Mariana smiled before closing her eyes.
•••
Leonard was busy drinking in the cellar
‘I h@ťě you!!!’
Those words from Mariana kept ringing in his head,he couldn’t even go to his mom for the dinner she told him about
He couldn’t stop thinking about her but the fact that she now detest him make him feel like dying
Suddenly,his phone buzzed. He reluctantly took the phone.
*LET’S MEET UP*
He was surprised to see the message from Francisco,another message came up and it’s the meet up place
Leonard didn’t think twice before getting up,he left the house immediately.
••
Leonard met Francisco standing,obviously waiting for him.
Francisco turned to face him and there was silence until he broke the silence
“Try making her fall in love with you” He said and Leonard gave him a confused look
“I’m leaving” Francisco added
“Why?” Leonard asked
“Because…….You deserve her better than me” Francisco said and Leonard was quiet
“I feel bad too,I ki||ed all your girlfriends,thinking my Rosalie is dead,but I was wrong. I won’t let you lose her the second time,I’m going to give up on her,so take care of her when I’m gone” Francisco said
“She’s in love with you,not me” Leonard said
“I love her more than my life” Francisco said and Leonard looked down
“I know” He muttered
“It’s a pity…..” Francisco said,wiping the drop of tears from his eyes
“Do you really have to leave?” Leonard asked
“She won’t get over me if I don’t” he replied
“I love her” Leonard said
“I’m insanely addicted to her” he added and Francisco smiled
“It’s crazy how we always fall in love with the same girl” he said
Leonard hugged him
“I’m sorry,it’s all my fault” he muttered
“No,I’m more sorry. You deserve her better” Francisco said,patting his back
“When are you leaving?” Leonard asked
“Tomorrow morning,I’m sure she will wanna come to the airport after she read my note,so be there for her” Francisco said and Leonard nodded
“Wanna have a drink together?” Leonard asked
Francisco smiled and nodded
••••••
“Francis?” Mariana Mõ@ɲed sleepily and touched her right side but it was empty
“Francis” She pouted and finally opened her eyes when she got no response
She sat up
“Francisco!” She called and left the bedroom
She searched for him everywhere but nothing,she ran back in and took her phone
“How can he leave me home?” She said and dialed his number
She was still trying to call when her eyes caught with the note on the table beside the bed.
She took it immediately
*I’M SO SORRY FLOWER,I’M SURE I WOULD BE GONE BEFORE YOU SEE THIS. I GUESS WE ARE NOT REALLY MEANT FOR EACH OTHER,PLEASE GET BACK WITH LEONARD …….*
“NO!!!!” Mariana screamed and continue reading with shaking hands
*I LOVE YOU SO MUCH ROSALIE,MY FLOWER*
“Francis!!” She threw the note away and ran out of the house in tears
Lucky for her,she got a taxi immediately
“Airport,hurry up please!!” She shouted
Minutes later,they got to the airport,she didn’t even remember to give the man money before running off
“Francis!!!!” She was screaming as she ran
She searched all over the airport,crying her eyes out
“How can I help you miss?” One of the airport attendants asked
“I……I don’t….I don’t know where he went to” Mariana broke into more tears and squatted
“Francis…..” She stuttered painfully
She was there for some minutes until a hand touched her shoulder
“Francis!” She called and immediately got up only to find Leonard
Even though half of his face was almost covered from the cap he was wearing,she knew it was him
“Riana…..”
“Get away from me!” She shouted and turned again
“Francis!!!” She cried
Leonard pulled her into a hug forcefully while she struggled out of his grip
“He’s gone….but I’m here for you,trust me” Leonard said
“Leave me alone..stay away…from me” Mariana hiccupped, but Leonard didn’t let go
Slowly she gave up and allowed him hug her,she started crying against his chest while he hugged her tightly
