Only You

Chapter 9

IXORA P.O.V

So you know those days when you feel really down and alone? Where when you walk around outside everybody in front of you are couples holding hands. Old couples, young couples and even young teenagers. Break ups, they are hard to get over. Really hard. I totally hate Victor but there are those days when my brain starts to wonder back to all the memories that were good. But they were all fake memories cause he was lying.

The past few weeks were not only bad, but I kept seeing him at the cafe every morning and sometimes every night. Here's the part I will never tell Leah about though. I purposely go down to the cafe just hoping to see him. Most of the time he's there either reading something or on the computer or with a different girl. It's just that I like seeing him. I knew he did the sports news or whatever but I've never seen him on tv cause it just made me feel even more pathetic.

That's what half of the women in New York were most probably doing and I just refused to stoop to that level. When Leah asked my why I don't watch him on tv, and I told her that. she asked me "So.. going to the cafe twice a day for some "coffee" is ok?"

"OMG shut up you knew all the while and you didn't say anything? You cow!" I threw her my pillow cause we on my bed just lazing around. It was just another lazy Friday afternoon and we decided to keep it low and call the other girls over to have drinks in our loft.

"Enough about me, but what about you? All these mystery dates? I'm not an idiot too. It's definitely not anyone from work cause you told me that you're not into anyone from there. I'll find out eventually." I told her as I stepped into the kitchen.

We both started prepping out girl's day in. I made my special home made face mask. I chopped up some oats and placed it into a bowl and to that I added some honey and yogurt and set it aside. Leah sliced some cucumber cirlces for our eyes.

"So do you really like him then. This Mark guy?" Leah stopped what she was doing and she looked at me.

" I mean I like him right now based on how he looks. It can all change if i get to know him and I don't like what I know. Get what I mean? Cause I'm sure he's gone out with alot of girls and I don't mind that, it's just that I don't want to be just a one night kind of thing." i answered her while taking out some cotton balls so we could remove our nail polish later.

" Yea yea i get what you mean.." just then the door bell rang and we let the girls come on up. For the first time, I didn't feel so alone anymore.

MARK P.O.V

So here I was sitting in the cafe with Tom. He was going on and on about his dates with the girl he liked which was Leah who was also friends with Izzie. That was all I knew about her. Her name and the fact that she was a doctor and worked at the hospital nearby.

"Did you at least manage to get some stuff about her friend?" I cut him off cause I was getting sick of his sappy stories.

"Here's the thing man, I wanted to, but something tells me that I should just leave it alone. Besides I don't want her thinking anything else. Like I said, I really like her." he shrugged.

"By that you mean you haven't slept with her yet and you're dying to make a good impression so she will?" I started laughing.

"For god's sake man! So what if we haven't slept together? Besides.. if you're really into this Izzie girl, you'd go up to her and talk to her. Just like the other girls you get." he made a point there.

"Well from what I've observed she isn't cheap like the other girls I've been with and it's going to take alot more than sweet talking to get to know her. Something I've never done since the break up." I told him.
