"What did you say?" Raymond asked, his eyes wide with anticipation.
"Nothing," Alex said, shaking his head. "I was too stunned to say anything."
"You should go for her," Greg said, a mischievous grin on his face. "She seems to like you."
"No way," Alex said, his voice firm. "I'm still in love with Ariel. I can't just forget about her."
"But she hates you," Greg said, his tone matter-of-fact. "Maybe it's time to move on."
"I'm going to keep trying," Alex said, his voice determined. "I know that she'll come around eventually."
"Just give up on her, Alex," Greg said, his tone exasperated. "You're just wasting your time."
"I have to agree with Greg," Raymond said, his eyes fixed on Alex. "Ariel is clearly not interested in you. It's time to let her go."
Alex's heart sank. He knew his friends were right, but he couldn't give up on the girl he loved. He just couldn't.

"I miss you," Chole said, her voice soft and sad.
"I miss you too," Greg said, his words filled with longing.
"No, I miss you more," Chole said, a playful smile on her face.
"That's not possible," Greg said, chuckling. "I miss you more than you could ever know."
Chole bit her lip, her heart fluttering. She felt her cheeks flush as she looked at Greg.
"You're so sweet," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
"Your voice is turning me on," Greg said, his voice low and husky. He winked at Chole, a suggestive smile on his face.
"Gosh, Greg, you're so naughty," Chole said, trying to contain a giggle.
Greg drew her closer and kissed her hungrily, his arms encircling her waist. Chole's heart pounded in her chest as she responded to his kiss.
She could feel the heat rising in her cheeks as her body reacted to his touch. She melted into him, savoring the moment.
As Greg continued to kiss Chole, he guided her towards the bed.
He gently laid her down on the soft mattress, their lips never parting. Chole's breathing grew heavy as Greg's kisses became more passionate.
He pulled her closer, his hands exploring every inch of her body. Chole could feel herself getting lost in the moment, all her senses focused on Greg.

"You asked Alex out?" Mary said, her voice incredulous.
"Yes, I did," Ella said, her tone defiant.
"Are you crazy?" Mary said, her eyes wide.
"No, I'm not," Ella said, her voice calm and collected. "I know what I'm doing."
"But are you aware that Alex is in love with Ariel?" Mary said, her tone pleading.
"I'm aware of that," Ella said, her face hardening. "But I don't care."
"Ella, you can't be serious," Mary said, a note of disbelief in her voice. "What you're doing is terrible."
"What's your problem?" Ella said, her voice rising in anger. "I don't see why you're making such a big deal out of this."
"Alex love Ariel," Mary said, her tone pleading. "You're just being cruel."
"I don't care what Ariel thinks," Ella said, her face turning red with anger. "I'm allowed to date who I want."
