Be With You

"Can we talk?"

I already had a few encounters with Tanya.

But of course that was different than before. When me and Quen were just casual friends.

I know she had feelings for him. Not only by how she looks at him but our friends already talk about this and I was not able to focus enough before to understand how much like Tanya had for Quen they are talking about.

Her face was really beautiful. She looks stunning because she knows how to dress up. He was taller than me and gladly I was wearing my pumps today so I didn't look small for her.

She and Quen had the same interest. Been block mates and org mates for years. They probably know each others likes and dislikes.

Their passion.

I had to remind myself that Quen loves me.

He said he loves me, right?

Flashbacks of what happened to me before came all over me.

That's when I'm ready to open my heart to someone. An unexpected surprise will wake me up from my fairytale dream.

"Of course." I smile at her. "What is that?"

She stared at me for a second before glancing at the books I was holding and I'm conscious enough to hold it tight like I was embarrassed that she saw it.

"Books about photography?" she asked and chuckled and couldn't help but to furrow my eyes at the sound of that, her eyes glancing back at me. "Are you and Quen dating? Is he...your boyfriend now?"

I was taken aback by her sudden question. Of course, she saw me before watching his game on a weekend without our friend and Quen even refused to have lunch with them because I was there.

I really wanted to answer her question but I didn't know how.

What would I say? Dating? Flirting? Hooking up? Because we are not definitely in a relationship.

He's not my boyfriend.
