They Don't Know About Us

Chapter 1 Gwen /

The first time I saw him, my heart started to flutter. I thought of him as the best friend I would never forget. He had this kind of charm that mesmerizes me. He was always there for me when I needed him and he always made me smile. My whole world revolve around him because for once, there was someone that actually understands me.

But as I left Japan, I was devastated to leave him back. Every night, I would always think about him and wonder what he was doing. Sometimes I wonder if he was actually thinking about me. Sometimes I wonder if he actually misses me. What surprises me the most is that I finally realized my feelings for him.

We both started to drift away, thinking that our friendship was coming to an end. We barely talked anymore. And when I finally had the chance to talk to him over Skype, he was different. It seemed that he wasn't the same person that I've met before. It seemed that he didn't care for me anymore.

I stayed up at night thinking about him. Thinking about our conversation from Skype. There were so many questions that popped in my head, but I remained silent and just smile and nod at Leo.

He became different. Not just because he had a deeper voice or a more matured face. He was different on how he talks to me. He looked like he didn't give a crap about me anymore. It looked like he forgot about me and just moved on.

From those past miserable days, I met Jasmine. For once, I was glad that I finally knew someone who would actually understand me. Who actually cared for me. Leo finally started drifting away. The pain was still marked in my chest, but I started moving on. Until I finally can go to sleep without staying up.

And after six years, I finally saw him again.

I was walking through stores and having more time for myself. As I saw my phone buzz, I took it out and I suddenly bumped into someone. As my butt was about to hot the floor, someone grabbed me waist to prevent me from falling.

"Oh, shit!" I swore, my heart pounding very fast. "Thank you." I said, before boring to his brown eyes.

I felt my heart pound faster than lightning. My breathing got heavier and heavier. He still had that Spanish charm with him. His black hair was still combed to the side. His brown eyes were darker than I saw him. His body was well built. He looked 'cooler' I describe it.

"Gwen." His full pale pink lips curved. I was completely frozen at the sudden appearance here in London. When I finally recovered from my shock, I finally stood up and smoothed out the skirt I was wearing.

"Leo." I breathed out. "What are you doing here in London?" I asked.

"It's been a while, huh?" He award winning smirk as his eyebrows moved up. "Well, I thought about going to college here. I mean, I had a scholarship." He answered.

"That's nice." I managed a smile. His hands spread sideways, gesturing me to hug him. I was hesitant but I still gave in.

"Well, I want to know more about you, Gwen." Leo said as we pulled away. "Want to catch up by going with me for a smoothie?" I sighed and nodded, looking forward at our conversation.

During those weeks, I started to like him more and more. It felt like the Leo I knew was there again. His humor was back and how he talks to me was less different from what I know. The real Leo was finally back, and I was grateful to have him back again.

When we finally became together, nothing changed. We still acted the same around each other, making things less awkward. Maybe a little bit more cuddling and PDA, but nothing less. I finally realized that this is what I wanted six years ago. Where I finally get to call him mine.

But it didn't last than I expected.

I smiled at my phone as I saw Leo's name flash at my phone. My heart started to flutter, not expecting what I was going to hear.
