The Boy Next Door

Just one last time

Liam's point of view

I spoke going near "Florence what happened? What are you so panicked? Did he do something?"

She spoke "I'm absolutely fine"
But she was not looking fine.
She was going to her room, but I didn't allow her to "Tell me each and every word happened there"
She nodded no and was going.

I dragged her to the sofa and made her sit down a d held her hand "Now tell me or else I'll not leave your hand"
"Ohk... "

Florence's point of view

I went out with Ben and sat on one of the benches outside. I was silent he started.
"Hi... Hi Flo"
"You have no right to call me Flo"
He kept quiet.
I spoke "How do you know I live here?"
"I just followed you one day"
I signed "So why did you come?"
"Let's get together again"
"Again? When were we even together?"
He kept quiet and spoke "If we can go back again to the past... I work tell myself to accept your letter"
I smiled "If I cod go back to past, I would stop my self from writing that letter to you"
"We can start over again"

I was smiling"You know what? Let me tell you. We were in the past, you used to smile to me. I thought you liked me, but no, you smiled to everyone. I thought that was your good nature. When you rejected me... I thought you were a bright busy student. So I did not want to disturb you...but then.."

"Florence..."

"Wait let me complete. When I was in hospital you didn't even come to see me. This made me literally so sad and when I did return... I found the chocolates which I gave to you were on my desk... That time I understood that you don't even care about me... Now you came after so many years..."

Ben spoke "Do you feel sad now?"
"You want truth?"
He nodded slightly.
" Then listen. I am actually very happy that this is our last meeting. If you have nothing. I'll leave now"

As I was leaving he hugged me from behind "Can't I get one more chance?"
I turned towards him and spoke "dont touch me and also we aren't meant for each other. Hope I'll never again see you in my life. Bye!"

In present

I stopped speaking.
Liam spoke "Only this happened?"
"Yes..."
"Really?"
"Yes..."
"Really?"
I irritatedly spoke "I slapped him too okay?!"
"You really slapped him? But why?"

"Because? Because, I was leaving but he again hugged me. This time so tight that I was not even able to move. I was screaming but he wasn't leaving me, even after rejecting him. He even tried to kiss me! I slapped him and ran here.."
"Oh.. is he still there?"
"Hope so not"

Liam's point of view

When Florence was narrating, I literally crushing the bottle. But now I'm smiling, because she rejected him.
She asked me "Why are you smiling"
"No nothing."

She was leaving to her room and suddenly I called her "Flo..."
She just smiled. Now I was jumping in happiness.

I went into my room and jumped on the bed happily.

Tomorrow morning

I was still in Florence's house. We we're having breakfast and chatting.
I spoke "How are you?"
"Yeah I'm fine... Just yesterday was just a bit messy"
I asked "Hmm...Leave him. Will you again start figure skating?"
"You know what? Only if those years back, there was no Ben... I would..."

I stopped her and I spoke "If Ben was not there, you would have been in internationals. Not in front of me but touring the whole world for competitions. I would be your junior and would be inspired by you and would beg for your autograph"

She laughed "Hey I was not going to say that"
"It's my heart's speech. So will you start it over again?"
"I really want to... But my parents don't want me to"
"Let's do it secretly and why don't you show your parents to me? You never took them to me"
"Secretly? And I don't want my parents to meet you all because... If they will then nothing will ever be the same. Nothing will be normal"
"What? "
"Never mind. Forget it"

I paused for few moments and spoke "So would you like to start your passion again?"
"Passion..."
"Say no more. I understood you want to do it"

I picked up a package from my side and gave it to Florence.
"Flo, this is for you"
"Oh... This is for me?I... I cat believe you bought these..." She spoke surprised, while opening the package.

She spoke surprised "Oh my God! Is this for me?"
"Yes" I nodded brightly.
"You brought the clothes and skating shoes, but what if I said no to again start figure skating?"
"I was having a lot of confidence on you that you will again restart your skating. So...I just bought them."
"So how do you know my size? Did you steal my clothes? I told you not to steal, but you again did. Hush..."
"Flo! I don't steal! I took your size from Janice!"
"Oh... Anyways I will not apologise to you, cause you used to steal"

I rolled my eyes... On her words.
I spoke showing her my phone "So you will participate in this competition"
She read it aloud " Figure skating Competition - Couples. So this is for couples."
"Ahh yes, for couples. And I'll be your partner. This will be in 3 weeks. And also with this competition, if they like we can directly get selected to Nationals"
She smiled and asked "So practice from when?"

Hope you all guys like it and please support me!
