Conflicted heart

Chapter 13: tell me the truth

Ona, her heart racing and hyperventilating from the intense situation, found comfort in Alexia's calming presence. Alexia's soothing words and gestures were a lifeline in the midst of the chaos that had taken over Ona's emotions.

Alexia answered Ona's phone, her own frustration evident in her voice as she told Lucy what had transpired. "Lucy, it's Alexia. You won't believe what just happened. Keira is really upset and claims Ona did something, but it's a misunderstanding."

Lucy, on the other end of the call, growled angrily at the mention of Keira's actions. Her protective instincts kicked in, and she was determined to get to the bottom of the situation. "I'll be over in a few minutes to see Ona. This has to be sorted out."

Lucy arrived at Ona's place seeing Alexia has left to give them time to talk, her face a mask of concern and determination. She frowned deeply as she saw Ona, who was crying hard and falling into Lucy's embrace, unable to contain her sobs. Ona kept repeating that she didn't want any of this to happen.

In a gentle but forceful tone, Lucy asked, "Ona, please, tell me what Keira said. I need to understand what's going on."

Ona's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she clutched her phone tightly, not wanting Lucy to see the hurtful messages. She whimpered, "Lucy, it's just a misunderstanding. I don't want to cause more trouble. It's my problem to deal with."

Lucy could sense that Ona was holding something back, and her concern for her friend only grew. She tried to take Ona's phone gently, hoping to find out what had transpired.

Ona resisted, tears streaming down her face as she continued to plead with Lucy. "Please, Lucy, you don't need to see this. It's my mess, and I'll fix it."

The complexities of their emotions and unspoken desires were at the forefront of this situation.

As Ona's emotions swirled in a tumultuous storm, Lucy held her close, offering comfort and reassurance. She softly spoke, "Ona, it's going to be okay. Whatever happened, we'll figure it out together."

But before Lucy could finish her words, Ona's emotions overwhelmed her. Her heart was heavy with confusion, guilt, and longing. She abruptly leaned in and smashed her lips onto Lucy's, in a desperate moment of raw and unfiltered desire. Their kiss was passionate and fleeting, and as quickly as it had begun, Ona pulled away, her teary eyes filled with regret.

She began to apologize profusely, her words tumbling out in a rush, but Lucy was momentarily lost in her thoughts, processing what had just happened. The pieces of the puzzle were slowly falling into place in her mind.

Finally, Lucy, her anger and confusion building, demanded answers. "Ona, do you have feelings for me?"

Ona, tears streaming down her face, couldn't bear to lie any longer. She whimpered and nodded her head, confirming the unspoken truth.

Lucy's eyes widened in shock, her mind racing as she grappled with this revelation. She turned to leave, but Ona couldn't bear to see her go. She grabbed Lucy's hand, begging her not to leave.

Desperation filled the room, and the emotions were a turbulent sea that threatened to drown them both. But as Lucy opened the door and slammed it shut, the future of their relationships hung by a thread, filled with heartache and uncertainty.
