12 - Change Of Heart

every single time i think of you, i feel a smile on my face

══════✿✿✿══════

"I look fine right?" Mary questioned as she came into my room wearing a cute yellow sundress and matching flats.

I smiled at her and gave her a thumbs-up. "Absolutely beautiful! Aiden's lucky as fuck to have you, oh yeah." I nodded in agreement to my own words.

Mary laughed while a shade of red-coated her cheeks. "I could say the same thing to Arthur."

My smile dimmed a bit at that.

Arthur and I were just physically attracted to each other. There is no way he would even think of me like that. Like how Aiden thinks of Mary.

We're just friends. Friends who wanna fuck each other.

Then why did my heart hurt thinking about it?

"I'm not looking for a relationship, and you know that." I gave a fake laugh this time, even though I knew deep down I needed someone. Someone who will be there for me. Someone who will hold me when things go wrong. Someone who will celebrate the smallest of achievements I make. Someone who will love me for who I am.

I don't think Arthur would like to be that 'someone' for me.

But the way he cares for you and looks at you

He's attracted to me. That's it. It's nothing more than lust.

And today I'm hoping we can finally ease the tension between us.

God I'm getting excited just thinking about it. Thinking about what could go down between us.

Mary shrugged and a small smirk came on her face. "Fine then. But when you and Arthur are madly in love with each other and cannot breathe without the other one, I need a treat." She winked and grabbed her purse.

I rolled my eyes but I hoped somewhere deep down that what she said could come true.

I don't think I'm even allowed to hope for that.

"Bye Mary, have fun." I waved at her while having a blank look on my face.

"Bye Mels!" Her laughter carried out with her as she exited our house.

Now for me to get ready.

"Hey Meli?" I turned my head around to see Mark standing near the entrance of my room, one hand in his pocket while the other scratched the back of his neck nervously.

I raised an eyebrow. "Yes?"

This is weird.

"Uhm I wanted to talk to you."

Even more weird. I don't remember the last time I had a heart-to-heart conversation with him.

I nodded towards my bed. "Take a seat."
