"Sorry?" I frowned.

"I know" Her expressions were not 'cool' now, but rather curt. "I know how you look at him, how you look at us when we are together, like a child looks at the moon, wishing to have it."

"I think you got the wrong idea"

"Oh I have the very right idea" she cut me off. "I know your kind of girl, when they get a little attention in their life they prance about it, think everyone is waiting for them and they can have anyone when they want whenever they want."
So she is not the modest and sweet girl I thought she was. It was just facing to embrangle me for this particular moment.

Ignore her hazel and make your way out.

"but I'll not allow it to happen" she squeaked.
"When Ed was drowned in your thoughts and memories ....and when he was hopeless for any relationship. I was the one who changed that." She quirked up her lips in a cunning smile.
Yes. I now get how you changed that.....by pretending to be a sweet medicine under the skin of a leech.

Keep calm hazel.

"You think you can walk into his life again, sweet talk him and wrap him around your fingers. You're wrong"

That's not what I was planning. I cannot believe I was feeling guilty for this girl. I am giving up on Ed so that she can be with this girl.

It's his life Hazel...let him be.
I'll blast surely.
Don't dare utter a word about it.

"I specifically invited you today not to bond over a beer.I invited you so you could see what I and Ed have, what you can't break, what you're incapable of."

I swear I am gonna explode.
Don't say anything Hazel you promised Ed.

"so you could see that this coincidence you and Ed ran into isn't some 'high school lovers' reunion'. It's our story Ed's and mine and I have him now."

"Is that why he slept with me." my patience gave up and I saw her wicked smile fade as those words blurted out of my mouth. And for seconds it was worth it, all her haughtiness dropped in her eyes. "Maybe you should've focused on how Ed looks at me" She was still gathering words as I immediately walked out of their apartment.

What the hell have I done? I promised him and I broke it. How will I ever face him? This is Ester, her being the hurdle was not the only thing enough while she had to have such a testing-the-edges attitude. Why did she push me so hard? Why did I say it?
