The Perfect Boyfriend [Completed]

Chapter 9: First love's Goodbye

Eva and I met when we were in high school.

We were inseparable the moment we had met, it didn't take me long for me to fall for her. She was the idol of our school and I was the nerdy guy.

It would be a classic love story, however, she fell for the football's team captain.

A typical love story, it didn't faze me though. I wasn't one to wait for long and I confessed to her twice.

Once during our senior graduations and a second time during our first year in university.

I had dated girls before I met Eva, but I don't think I had loved them as I loved Eva.

As I was there for her break ups, she was there for mine.

However, I was rejected twice for the same reason and I couldn't change her mind no matter what.

I thought I had given up but when Emi had cried that night. The things that I had put behind me, I looked at it. I hadn't love properly at all, but I think Emi was wrong about one thing.

That I wanted Eva to be my girlfriend.

Yes, I loved Eva, but that was it. I knew Emi had an underlying assumption but I had quickly dismissed it.

I hadn't bother correcting her because I wanted to be sure of it. If I had denied it right from the start but ended up agreeing, I would look like an idiot and I had enough of that.

I think I had an epiphany, the moment I saw Eva in my field of vision.

It was so simple.

Second lead syndrome is bullshit because the "better guy" for the main girl will always be the one she loves.

If she ended up with a guy purely based on his status and being, she wouldn't be happy. No matter how many flowers I give her.

I had to learn it the hard way.

That's why when Eva told me she missed me.

I wasn't sure how to feel.

It was something I always dreamed of, but sometimes things were better off as dreams.

The reality of dreams always seemed so strange. I thought the day she opened arms for me would be the day I would indulge myself in happiness.

The girl I always wanted was looking at me.

But I wasn't looking at her.

Eva gripped me in a tight embrace but this time, it wasn't me who pushed her away. Emi had grabbed Eva off of me.

"Eva! He doesn't like it!"

Emi's back was towards me as she spread her arms, protecting me. It felt strange to be protected by a girl. I stared mindlessly at Emi before she turned her head to glare at me.

I gulped.

"What are you staring at like an idiot! Speak you damn idiot!" She's been calling me idiot this whole time and my eyes trailed towards the crying Eva.

I came closer to Emi first, though and squeezed her shoulders as I passed her my keys. "Go inside, make yourself comfortable."

Emi nodded and glanced worryingly at Eva before entering my apartment and when the doors shut, the silence alluded the both of us.

"Eva, what's going on? That was so unlike you."

Eva sighed, "do you like, Emi? Even after you broke up with Lily yesterday?"
