Ophelia's POV
(Don't be a silent reader<3)

"Are you kidding me?" Liliya closed her mouth with her hand, when her jaw dropped after what I told her.

"I wish I did" I threw myself on the couch, standing in the living room of Liliya's apartment.

As I found out, she's no longer living with her parents for a few months now.

I wish I had a chance to leave my parents' house too.

"Yeah, like dropping this big ass explosive at me was so easy to believe" Liliya was standing in front of me before she made her way to sit beside me.

If you're curious about what I have just told her, it's about something that happened a few days ago. To be more clear, it's about Arden's apology.

Since Liliya and the others got to experience me and Arden together passing by them at the rink a few days ago, Lili was quick to give me a call after.

She begged me to tell her what happened, but I was knocked out by the things that happened between me and Arden, so I promised her to tell all the tea after a few days.

Here I am. Dropping bombs at my friend now.

"I wish you could have seen my face, when Arden started apologizing to me. He fucking snacked my ability to talk for a second" I get these flashbacks from that day's conversation with him.

"Well I bet, I can imagine how you looked like" she evilly glared at me.

"You" I point at her. "Don't look at me like that"

"Alright," Lili chuckles. "Tell me more about regretful Arden" she pushed herself more comfortably onto the couch.

"You see, there are some things that need to be held as a secret between me and him" I tease her.

"Opi!" my ginger friend pouts.

"Okay, okay" I laugh at her adorable face. She's so cute.

"You can't just leave me on a cliffhanger" Lili scrunches up her nose.

"Then don't blame me after I give you a heart attack" I mouth it.

"I promise, I won't!" she crosses her fingers.

"I told Arden to kiss me for him to get my forgiveness" I spill.

"What?" Lili almost choked on her saliva. "Wait. What?" it seems she lost her voice for a second.

"I wouldn't ask WHAT, I would better ask HOW and WHY" I roll my eyes.

I did expect her to react like this, but where are the other questions? I want to be asked why I did what I did.

Come on.

"Holy shit, Opi! Why would you do that?" she finally managed to get her speaking ability back.

"I wanted to have the last revenge on him. My intention was to make him nervous" I play with my fingers on my lap.

"Did you make it work?" Lili asks, staring at me like crazy.

"I did for a millisecond, but then Arden switched places with me" I get chills every time I remind myself about the things he whispered into my ear.

"He did what?" Lili moves closer to me. I guess, she's invested in this story.

"I should probably tell you about the thing we had two years ago, to make you understand why I asked him to kiss me" I fold my legs on the couch.

"Tell me" my friend is impatient to hear.
