Arsia's POV

Two hours later, we had already finished with the kitchen and her closet. Liz had ordered some Chinese take-out for us and we arranged them on her half-done dining table, seeing as we were not done attaching all the parts to it. 

The takeouts consisted of Chow mein, chicken fried rice, Kung-pao chicken, ginger beef, and shrimp with pineapple. I know that sounds like a lot, but if Liz and I put our minds to it, we can finish a whole horse together when we are hungry.

Liz was already drooling as she couldn't wait for me anymore to set all the boxes in place. She picked up the Kung-pao chicken and started to chum away. "Mhmmmmmmmm" was the only sound I heard from her. I broke into laughter and started eating the shrimp with pineapple.

After about 7 minutes of "mhmmms" and "ahhhhs" due to how good the food tasted, we decided to just talk about random things and tease each other.

"Hey did you manage to get a hold of Ryan?" Liz asked while looking concerned.

"No still, not since the time he cancelled our date, he is really starting to piss me off, and it's more annoying because I don't know if I should be mad at him or worried about him!" I said as I groaned frustratedly.

"I'm so sorry about that, Arsia. Do you still feel like this is something you see a future with? Cause like you said it has been 3 years and no word of moving in together, or plans for the future. Even though I know that you have been fighting for this relationship for months now, is it still something that you think is still worth fighting for some more? These are questions you have to ask yourself, baby girl, in order for you to know if you guys can fix it or have to set each other free!" Liz said sympathetically.

Liz was absolutely right, she told me what I did not want to hear but it was the truth, she is good at saying it how it is and I love her for that, I thought to myself.

"You're right Liz, it's just that it's so hard for me to be able to sit down and think of all these things again about someone I had thought was the one, you know? Let alone even be able to talk about it, that's why I have been holding out for months, but I think I am ready now, thank you so much, Liz! And how did you become so smart and be the one to advise me on relationships?" I said to Liz while questioning her with my eyebrow.

"I became this smart right after I dropped that dead weight of a boyfriend I had, who was dulling all my brightness! Can't you see I am glowing now," Liz mocked as she tried to cheer me up.

"And what of your mall Roman God?" Liz teased me while wiggling her eyebrows at me.

"And what about him? I don't even think he is real, I don't think he is human, like how could he possibly exist?" I said as my mind started to daydream about seeing him yesterday

"Girl you just tripping, he is real enough, since your smart ass decided to crash into his rock-hard chest," Liz said while laughing at me.

"Whatever bitch, just let me daydream about a man I can never have," I said while acting playfully hurt.

"Girl, like Justin Bieber said, never say never," Liz beamed while shoving a shrimp in her mouth
