I don't know why I haven't met her family yet anyways. Even when we were just friends we never brought them up at all. I never even thought to imagine what her family was like, I'd seen her brother and sister plenty of times but it was only small interactions. All I knew of her parents were pictures and how everyone in the entire world thinks her dad is hot.
"Can't believe you're making me go out without makeup" she says
"Like if you don't look perfect every single second of your damn life" I say
"It's weird how you can be so mean but so nice at the same time, guess you're learning" she says
Okay what the fuck does that mean? See things like this bother me so much. She knows what she does to my mind but what's the point of bringing it up when I won't leave.
"How did your parents take you coming out?" I ask
"They couldn't care less I don't know why I was so worried" she says
Is this the perfect time to say "I told you so"?
"I never asked how your boyfriend took it" I say
"He couldn't be more angry but lucky for me he signed a NDA so he can't publicly trash talk me" she says
I quickly pull the emergency break. It causes both of to swing back. Why I did this? I couldn't be anymore impressed with what she said just now. I couldn't be happier to hear it, you do know what this means?
"What the bloody fuck is your issue?!" Dua exclaims as she rubs the back of her head
I quickly grab her face and kiss it. Pretty sure there's honking in the back but I really couldn't care less about it. I may be delusional but her forcing him to sign that NDA meant she always knew in the back of her head that what we have would come out onto the world.
"What was that for?" She exclaims again
"You're so smart I don't know why I've ever doubted you" I say
"I love you " she says
"I love you more but we should probably keep going people are going to murder you if you don't move the car" I say
"I was just about to say let's go in the back seat but you're right" she smiles

"I'm here babe" Dua says on the phone
Since we kissed for the first time after her boyfriend kicked me out of her house she's been seeing me in secret. Every night at 2 in the morning I turned my front porch light on for her to know I was here and ready to jump into the car with her. We kissed as we drove through Hollywood.
"Hey there" Dua says
When I get into her car she quickly puts her lips out for me to kiss. I give her a peck and she starts her car and drives. For some reason Im not so excited this time as I am the other times. During class I spent some time thinking about how this could affect our friendship in the worst way possible and I got an ick to the feeling of never being able to live what I want with her.
After driving for a while she notices I haven't spoken much at all, yes I did it to get her attention but I also didn't feel like talking.
"What's wrong? You haven't spoken" she says parking her car by the beach
"I'm fine just tired" I say
She reaches for my face with her hand. Her hands are always cold but once they touched my face I could feel my heat transferring to her. We became one.
"You're so beautiful you know that? I wish you were a guy imagine our kids" she says
I know Dua means to say these things in the best way possible but whenever she reminds me about a guy it hits me wrong. For me in my head it just means that what we have is something she can't picture in the future. She sees us as an impossible thing.

"We've been wanting to meet you since before this beautiful relationship you two have now but Dua always mentioned how you were busy" her Mom says
I turn to look at Dua and squint. She takes a drink of her wine and lifts her shoulders up like she didn't know.
"Yes I'm sorry I go to school and work so it's hard to get me for a day isn't it Dua?" I say
"Exactly why I want us to be alone when you are free, I like having you to myself" she says
"You weren't jealous of Romain or anwar? She brought them around all the time, how do you do it to not get jealous" Rina her sister blurts out
My hands go into a fist under the table. I know her family know of her boyfriends but the "brought them around all the time" really hurt deep inside me because she hadn't introduced me once and now I have to keep things going for lies Dua created? Become her accomplices for all the lies she fed both her family and I?
"Well I trusted Dua a lot on what she was doing and I respected her wanting to private about us to help her career" I say
...
"See it went good" Dua says as she starts the car
Are you fucking kidding me? Is this some everlasting joke or something to her? Some Ferris wheel she controls and I'm the only one on? How can someone be so nonchalant?
"You're kidding right?" I say
"Okay what's up now? Still think I'm cheating?" She says turning the car off and faces me
"You said your parents didn't want to meet me said that they didn't know about me at all and it turns out they knew about me this whole time?" I say
"We're so over that point why argue about it now? You met them as my girlfriend doesn't that make you happy?" She says
She's right I guess but she has never apologized once for her wrong doings. I notice it now for some reason, I'm always the one who apologizes for her in my head, I picture her saying sorry in my head because her actions make her seems as if she's sorry but she's never ever apologized.
"Dua you don't have a heart" I say
