Christian plopped down on the sofa in his apartment, his best friend Ziani following suit. The two chilled and talked about a bunch of random things, bursting into fits of laughter at some memories and from the bottles of booze they finished.

"I want you." Christian abruptly spouted. Ziani giggled a bit causing him to frown.

"I'm not joking. I want you." His fingers hovered and glided over the girl's bare thigh that laid across his legs on the crimson sofa.

"Are you sure?" She whispers over the peaceful silence almost as if she didn't want to be rude and disturb it.

"What?"

"Are you sure you want me, or is that easier to say as opposed to 'I want your loyalty but in Remi's body'" She snickers a bit as her eyes never leave those of the confused man. The love of her life.

"I thought I told you I didn't want her."

"And you didn't once upon a time. But you do again, you miss her."

"No I do-"

"It wasn't a question Christian."

"It wasn't rhetorical either, I told you already, I think about you Z."

"Thinking about me doesn't change the fact that you still love that girl, no matter what she does to you. I will not believe that you haven't realized that." She grew annoyed with Christian's bullshit.

"Ziani, what the hell are you talking about? Your sister fucked up what we had! How could I ever be with her again?! She is dating the guy she cheated on me with!" His voice raised and Ziani raised her eyebrows. There was simply no need to raise his voice and get defensive, unless she had spoke only the truth he's been trying to hide and get rid of.

"Answer me this then Ian, do you love her? Don't bullshit me either, be real with me, don't you dare lie."

"I just mean I-.... I mean I will always have love for her but I-" He tumbled and fell over his words.

"Cool. Last question, if she hadn't had left you herself this time and begged for your forgiveness like all the other times, you'd be with her right now wouldn't you?"

The two stared at each other dead in the eyes. Ziani awaited the answer although she was almost certain of it already , she also knew he'd still try to save himself.

"I- I probably would have... but Ziani....I want to love you.."

"See? You WANT to love me like you love her so you can get over your hurt. The really fucked up thing is I wish you did love me like you love her. I won't put myself in a situation where I'm nothing but a settlement and maybe even temporary. I'll see you later Christian, find me when you know exactly what you want."

"Z stay," Christian pleaded.

"Ian I'm hurting myself by watching you hurt. I can't pretend I don't love you to death any longer. I'm sorry but I can't be just friends with you and I can't let you lie to me.....

You're in a state of denial Christian....I hope you come to terms with your infatuation for my sister."
