Thank you beautiful/handsome people for sticking with me and enjoying it as much I enjoy writing it. We going UP!

Anna's POV

Eva finished cooking and the three of us sat and ate together. While we ate there was something that had been on my mind for the longest and I had to get it out.

"What really happened the day Eva came to apologize?" I asked and turned to Jessica.

"Who me?" she asked.

"Well anyone really. You or Eva." I said.

"To make a long story short, I apologized and Jess was still upset so she said some things. I had a panic attack and then you came, the end." Eva said and continued her meal.

"What things?" I asked.

"Just things." she said.

"Well if it's just things then just say it." I said as I got annoyed.

"I told Eva-.." Jessica blurted.

"Oh my God Jess, just drop it!" Eva said before Jessica could've finished. I looked at Eva then continued to eat. I finished before them, washed my plate, kissed Eva on her cheek and left.

"Anna, where are you going?" she asked as I opened her front door. I ignored her and continued outside to my vehicle and got in. Eva knocked on my window and I jumped a little. I let the window down.

"How may I help you?" I asked.

"Can you fucking get out." she said with her arms crossed. For some strange reason I enjoyed seeing her upset, she was scary but so cute. I got out and she looked at me up and down before she spoke.

"Where were you going?" she asked.

"Home." I answered.

"Why?" she asked again.

"Because I'm tired." I replied and faked a yawn. She flicked me on my neck and I quickly held her hands behind her back and pulled her to me. She gasped and smirked.

"You're lying." she said softer and less hostile.

"Okay. Tell me what Jessica said." I said to her and nibbled on her ear but tightened my grip on her hands. She whimpered before she answered.

"Anna, please l-let m-me go." she begged. I immediately released her and turned to get back in the jeep but she closed the door. She put her hands under my sweater, around my waist and hugged me.

"Promise me you won't say or do anything to her." she said and looked at me.

"To who?" I asked.

"Jessica." she said.

"I promise" I said.

"When I went to apologize, she started saying a lot of stuff." she said.

"Stuff like what Eva? Stop beating around the bush." I said.

"Stuff like you were too good for me and I didn't bring anything to the relationship." she said. My body became tense and I looked up in the air in hopes of not blowing a fuse. Eva pulled my head down to face her and kissed me but I couldn't kiss back.

"Boon! Kiss me back." she said and I reluctantly kissed her.

"Eva, I'm ready to go." I said. She held on to me tighter almost stopping my breath.

"Don't be foolish. Come and help me clean up before my parents get here." she said and grabbed my sweater and pulled me inside with her. I could've resisted if I wanted to but I didn't want to.

Eva's POV

I dragged Anna inside, we cleaned the kitchen but she was silent whole time. Even when we crossed paths she made sure our bodies didn't touch, she was really upset. My parents came just as we were finished. I ran to hug them and Jessica jumped over the couch to greet them as well.

"Looks like some people missed us." my Mom said to my Dad.

"I didn't miss them." Dad said sarcastically. I nudged him and he held me in a bear hug as usual.

"Oh goodnight Anna, I didn't see you there." my Mom said to Anna.

"Goodnight Mr. and Mrs. Cudmore. You guys look well rested and relaxed." she said with a tight lipped smile which was her fake smile. We helped my parents with their bags and they went to bed not too long after, they said the traveling made then weary.

I sneaked Anna's keys in my pockets, left her downstairs and went to my room. I knew she would try to leave as soon as my parents went to bed. She came in my room, took off her sneakers, went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and flopped on the bed all in silence. I moved over on her chest but she didn't look down at me.

"I thought you were leaving." I said.

"I can't when you have my keys." she said.

"Do you want them?" I asked.

"No." she said and closed her eyes.

"Boon, why aren't you talking to me?" I asked.

"I am right now Eva." she said and put her hands behind her head.

"You know she was just upset when she said that." I explained.

"Of course she was but why did YOU break up with me?" she asked.

"Well at the time I believed what she said and to be honest I still do to certain extent." I admitted.

"What do I do to make you feel that way?" she asked. I sprung from my position and sat up to face her.

"Listen it's definitely not you. She pulled a card that she knew would hurt me but she didn't think it would've triggered my panic attacks." I said.

"I understand but like why do you feel like that still?" I asked.

"I don't know. I feel all eyes on me, judging me, comparing me to you and it's a lot. Since she told me that, that's all I see." I said.

"Forget what people think, do you think I'm too good for you?" she asked.

"No you're the perfect person for me." I said.

"Well respectfully, fuck Jessica and whoever else thinks whatever. It's literally me and you against everybody if it has to come down to that. You understand me?" she asked and I nodded. "You have to answer Eva and let me know you're willing to make this work. I need to know that I'm not holding on to false hope. I'm very serious about you Eva." she said and her voice began to crack on the last sentence.

"Yes I understand and I'm serious about you. Don't cry though, I'm not leaving you." I reassured her.

"Ain't nobody crying girl so shush." she said and laughed.

"You never told me how my food tasted." I said.

"Esther always told me if I had nothing good to say, don't say anything at all." she said.

"You're an idiot." I said and flipped her off.

"I wished you could cook for me all the time." she said.

"Why would I do that when I could teach you." I said.

"Okay here's the deal, you teach me to cook and we take up boxing." she said.

"Why boxing?" I asked.

"Well, you need to learn how to defend yourself. I won't be around all the time and then I'd hate to hear something happened to you. I'd have to do some things you'd frown upon." she said.

"Anna stop saying things you don't mean!" I warned.

"Eva I mean that from the bottom of my heart. I would've broken all Christian's limbs for pulling you so aggressively at that party and I would've been torturing Brad up to this day for putting his lips on your face but you stopped me." she said.

Those guys barely touched me and that was her reaction, what the fuck did she have planned for the guy that slapped me.
