To All the Guys i've liked

A second chance

Maria's POV

It's been a week  since Chase called and i've still been thinking of what Jasmine said. What if it's love? What if i messed up ? What it was fate? What if he is my future husband? I really don't want to call him or anything but i was wrong for speaking to him the way i did but in my defense i was in a bad mood, i defended myself and just then my phone rang. Hey gurl, how are you? I asked. I'm good. Jasmine said. What's up? I asked. Nothing, can't i call to see how my favourite girl in the whole world is doing especially since we are a thousand miles apart from each other. She said. Awwn... I'm so touched, I'm in tears right now. Will you spill it out? I asked. Spill what out? She asked innocently. I don't understand, i already told you why i called. She said. Spill now or else I'll hang up. I said. Aiit fine, you win, you know me too well even more than myself sometimes which i hate. She said. Then, let's break up. I said. Break up? Are we dating? Excuse me am not a gay please and i don't remember being in a relationship with you. She said. Crazy girl... I said. And you love me just like that. She said. You wish. Anyways, i can't be with someone who hates me. I said. So you want us to go our separate ways ? She asked. Yes, i said. Ok, hang up then. She said. No, you said you hate me so hang up. I said. You called it quits so hang up. She said. Never, you called me Gay so hang up. Idiot, i didn't call you Gay. She said. You lost. I screamed... How? She asked. You didn't find a fault, i said. That was because you lied, she said. Whatever, i won the Calling game again. I said. That's because you always manipulate me. She said. I don't. I defended. Yes you do. She said. Whatever, why did you call? I asked. Have you called him? She asked. Called who? I asked pretending not to know who she is talking about. You know who, Mr lover boy, she said. And who is that? I asked. I badly want to spank you so you'll recover from your amnesia. She said. Not to brag but you dare not, in fact, i dare you. I said. I think because we are miles away from each other, you have this guts to disrespect me. She said. I laugh in Portuguese. I said. When we meet,  I'll make sure you laugh in korea. She said. But seriously why haven't you called him? She asked. I don't know, i know I'm wrong and i should apologize and all that but some part of me thinks it's not necessary. I said. I think it's just pride, you are too proud. She said. And i admit, I'm not even going to deny, I'm proud. I said. Whatever, just be a grown up and apologize. She said. What if he doesn't pick? Or he's blocked me or he insults me because i called to apologize? I asked. Well, then you take it and know that you have cleared your conscience. She said. I'll feel embarrassed if any of that happens. I said. Really, i don't even think any of that will happen because this guy is in love with you and would be happy you apologized. She said. You don't know that Jas. I said. But what i do know is that you have absolutely nothing to loose so why don't you just try it and see what goes down for yourself. She said. Yes mum, i teased. Idiot, you always take everything with levity. She said. No, i don't. I defended. Will you do it? She asked ignoring my last statement. I'll try. I said. I don't want that as an answer, she said. What do you want me to say? I asked. Yes, I'll do it, No, I'll not. She said. Ok, fine I'll do it. I said. Ok, I'll hang up now so you'll call him and call me when you are done to tell me how it went. She said. Now! I exclaimed. Yes, now is perfect, isn't it? She asked. No... Alright, I'll call you back, she said and hung up. Jasmine... I shouted. I really don't know if this is a good idea, i said dialing the number. Hello, hii... I said as soon as he picked. Maria??? He asked unsure. Yes, it's Maria, I'm sorry about all i said last week, i was in a bad mood and you called in that moment and i just directed all my anger at you which i wasn't suppose to do. I'm sorry. I said. It's fine, i was out of line too, i should not have called you unexpectedly, I'm glad you called. He said. Are we on the same page now? I asked. Sure, he said. Alright, thank you, I'll hang up now. I said and hung up. Few minutes after, my phone rang. Hi, i said. Can we be friends? He asked. I don't think that's a good idea, i mean we had a past and all. I said. Maria, i can't get you out of my mind, and i know you don't like me again and that's fine but pls you can't say we shouldn't be friends too, help me find a closure, help me heal or i can get you to like me again. He said. I'm definitely not going to like you again but fine, let's be friends or whatever... I said. Thank you. I can chat and call you then. He said. Please,  i hate taking calls, only chat, i said. Alright, I'll make use of that. He said. Bye, i said and hung up without waiting for him to reply.

*Two weeks later*
 
" I asked myself sometimes why i couldn't let you go no matter how much i tried but i think i have an answer now. Maria, you are smart, beautiful, bold and all but you are sassy, bad ass, intelligent, when you do things, you do them with so much thinking and brains, you talk eloquently and it's like you should never stop talking, you are all in one, i haven't seen any girl like you before. He said. Omg... You are a perfect smooth talker now, so this is what you've been up to for the past five years, perfecting your lines to use on girls,  I'm sorry those things don't work on me. I said. I'm not being a smooth talker, I'm telling you how i see you. He said. Ok, i said. Just Ok... He said. What are you expecting me to say? I asked. Always bad a*s. I'm in love with all of you. He said. I'm busy,  i need to get back to what I'm doing. I said. Why can't i get you to like me like you used to then, you liked me just as much as i did, you always want to talk to me, be with me and at a point i guess i started liking you more than you liked me but what changed Maria, Tbh, i never believed you were going to break up with me, i knew i liked you more than you liked me but i knew you liked me and won't break my heart but then you did, i was so shocked, i know you said it was distance but part of me knows it was not, you would have talked to me about it if it was distance and we would have figured out a way and still be together now planning to be married in like three or five years to come. He said. Marry? I scoffed, we still would have broken up at one point or the other. I said. Tell me why you broke up with me/ he asked. I already told you, i couldn't do a long distance relationship and i knew you would fine someone you would like and move on. I said. That's not it, Maria pls tell me. He pleaded. Ok fine, you were obsessed with me and it was like you couldn't live without me, you wanted me all for yourself and i don't know, people were talking and you didn't care, you kept writing those letters about me and it was just too much, i was scared, so scared so i had to run and fortunately for me, you graduated so it was the perfect escape for me without much explanation. I think you are still obsessed with me. I said. Obsessed?? No, I'm not obsessed with you, I'm in love with you, I'm crazy in love with you and i can live without you but i don't want to live without you. He said. This is not love Chase. Love isn't possessive or controlling, sometimes love is letting go of the person you love the most for their happiness. You closed all the walls around you and still built those walls with only me in it. I said. I'm sorry if the love i have for you made you scared, I'm sorry you couldn't talk to me about your fears, i messed up, i was selfish in thinking about only my love for you and not see how it was affecting you. He said. It's okay, it's all in the past now. I said. But give me a chance to make things right, give me a second chance, I'll treat you right and love you right. He said. I don't need all that right now, Chase, i just want to focus on building my life and career without any distraction. I said and i promise not to be a distraction, you don't have to be my girlfriend, please just open your heart to my love. He said. Ok, fine. I said. Thank you. He said. I need to sleep now. Good night. I said. Good night, I....
