|Saria's POV|:

Jonathan was staying the night at my apartment, Leo didn't like him too much. Leo was not my little puppy anymore, he was now my big puppy. He's the best cuddle partner and luckily he's one of those dogs that doesn't shed so I can get as much cuddles as I want without looking like I'm wearing a fur coat.

"Come Leo" I said patting and he came on the bed and went to his designated spot that I place a towel on so that his paws don't get my sheets dirty.

Jonathan was brushing his teeth, I already did my night routine. I couldn't stop thinking of that lady he was talking to and the way she smiled at me.

"Babe" I said and he hummed in response
"Who was that lady you were talking to at the shop the other day" he popped his head out the bathroom
"What lady?"
"The lady you were talking to when I came out my office with Grant"
"Sorry I don't remember, I have a lot of thing running through my mind right now"

I didn't respond to him because I know he's lying, he always acts like he forgot what happened when he was lying. I was processing how to confront him when I got a call

"Hello... what?... You're speaking too fast I don't know what you're saying...oh my... please calm down, don't let him do anything illegal, no no no don't let Grant punch him, Ok signorina Denise I'm on my way right now. " I said putting on my on a hoodie and my UGG slippers

"Where are you going?" Jonathan asked
"Grant is in a situation right now"
He scoffed "So you leave whenever he calls?" I crossed my arms "So you lie whenever you're confronted?"
"I told you I'm not fucking lying" he said rasing his voice
"You can't completely forget something that happened less than 72 hours" I said raising my voice to match his tone

"Why are you dragging this on, I forgot ok. what the fuck do you want me to say"
"I'm dragging this because I know you're lying and I want to know why"
"I want to know why you're always with Grant"
"Grant has nothing to do with the fact that you're lying to me"

"Are you in love with him?" He asked and I was taken back by what he said
"What?"
"Are you in love with him, because no one is ever ready to leave their boyfriend at 1 in the morning for another man unless they're in love with them"

"Oh my gosh you're jealous of him" I exclaimed throwing my hands up in disbelief
"Yes I'm jealous of him because you're always with him or on the phone with him or always with his kids, or signorina Denise, or his parents and siblings are always coming into the shop. Why be with me if your so obviously in love with him"

Am I in love with Grant? pshhh of course not we're just really close...right?

"I'm not in love with him, he's my best friend"
"Saria me and my best friend don't spend as much time together as you guys do."
I sighed and he shook his head
"I don't think I can do this anymore" he said

"What?" I asked with widened eyes
"Saria I love you, I do. But I can see the way he looks at you and the way you always take care of him. I think I'm in the way of you realizing how much you actually love him. As much as I love you, I love myself more and I don't want to be the one hurt when you finally do realize that you're in love with him."

"Jonathan-"
"No Saria, I know you love me" he said smiling but it didn't reach his eyes "you just don't love me as much as you love him. I don't resent you for it, and we can be friends but I can't stay in this relationship knowing there's always going to be someone else"

My brain was rushing with all the things he said that I didn't realize he took all his stuff and was about to walk out the door but stopped
"Oh and that lady in the shop that day was one of my colleges, for your birthday I was going to surprise you with an upgrade to the shop." He closed the door and left
