Dare 2

It was definitely fun. I was scared to trust him at first, but it turned out great. He took me to go get ice cream, and he drove us to the park. We sat on a bench and ate our ice cream in comfortable silence.

"We're friends now, right?" He asked me. I looked up at him and smiled. "A person who buys me cookie dough ice cream is indeed a friend of mine." I stated smiling. He chuckled at my childish reply, "good." He replied.

"Mali?" He asked licking his ice cream. I looked at him. "Yeah?" I asked. He shifted on the bench and glanced at me. "Why did you look so down today at the café?" He asked. "You don't have to answer if it's personal." He added.

"My boyfriend broke up with me fifteen days ago, because my friend lied to him." I sighed. I looked down at my ice cream and I felt a surge of sadness run through my body. "I wouldn't consider her a friend then. What did she lie about?" He asked. I took a deep staggered breath, "she told him I was cheating on him. I was supposedly texting a guy while he went to California to visit family. I didn't even have my phone on me that week." I stated. He gave me a look. "Why not?" He licked his ice cream. "My friend Luna, she borrowed it. She got in trouble." I explained.

He nodded his head. "He didn't listen to your side?" He asked. "Nope, and he left just like that." I said sadly. Jaebum nodded his head from side to side. "I wouldn't have done that. I would have listened to you, even if it was that type of situation." He said in a low pity-like voice. "I wish he would have." I said truthfully.

He glanced at me before taking my hand. "Mali, I'm here for you. I know we just met, but I am here for you. Honestly, the same thing happened to me. Difference is, is that I caught her cheating. It's hard, but you'll get through this. Because you have me." He smiled and kissed my forehead. "Thank you, Jaebum." I smiled.

I haven't felt fluttered, and happy in a while. But I am now, and all from Jaebum. I smiled lightly.

"Let's get you back to the café." He said as he stood up. I needed to go get my car and drive home. "You have my number, right?" He asked me. I nodded and said, "yes, you gave it to me right away." I giggled. He nodded his head. "Text me when you make it home. Night, Mali." He said and I bid a goodbye. I went home and everyone was home.

"Where did you go, Missy?" My mom asked playfully. I chuckled at her, "I went to the café, and hung out with a friend." I smiled lightly. She nodded understandably. "It's good you're getting out, and doing stuff." Mom said and rubbed my biceps.

I walked up to my room, and pulled out my phone to text, Jaebum.

Mal: I made it home. Thank you for today!! ♡

Jaebum: That's good. I had fun today, and i think we should do it again. You're welcome!

Mal: yea we should

JB: how about Thursday next week?

Mal: sounds good. Where should we meet?

JB: café. Same time that you came in today, and I also get off the same time.

Mal: Coolio

JB: alright Mali, get some rest. Goodnight!!

Mal: you too. Night!

I set my phone on my side table and changed in to my pajamas. My phone buzzed, and I received a text. I opened the text with out looking at the number.

Mark: hey

"What does he want?" I asked myself. Should I text back? This is frustrating!

Mal: Hey

Mar: so I listened to Luna... I'm sorry

He would rather out listen to Luna? I tried to explain myself to him!

Mal: why listen to Luna when I tried telling you? Do you understand how stupid you sound?

Mar: Mali, I said I'm sorry. And it's not like you tried to talk to me. Do you even care? I mean a girlfriend would bug and try to talk to the boyfriend to get their point across. Doesn't seem like you care much...and you're already seeing a new guy. Going on a date with him at the park... didn't put you off like that, Mal.
[Sent a picture of Mali and JB]

Mal: firstly, I tried to tell you when you yelled at me during the party. I didn't know what to do...you didnt really give me any room to do much. I care a lot, and I can't believe you doubt me. I haven't moved on, and you should know me better. He's a friend, nothing more. He was cheering me up, and I'm not like that! Hasn't it ever crossed your mind that I love you?

Mar: you love me?

Mal: yes, a lot! I'm still not over you, and I'm doing terrible with out you. God damn, how hard is it to believe me?

Mar: I need time to think. You going to the party sunday?

Mal: I don't know.

Mar: alright, I'll text you soon. Goodnight, Mali.

Mal: night, Markie.

"Oh no, stupid auto correct!" I said to myself, I only said that once to him. And auto correct has to go and change it?! I'm so embarrassed.

Mar: cute

"Cute?" I asked. I slammed myself on my bed and bounced for a second. Why does everything have to be so complicated? At least he said sorry, that's a start, right? One step closer to being the way we use to be...Will we even be able to do that?

"Ahghh." I muffled in a pillow. I'm thankful Luna helped me, but it hurt me. It hurts to know he'd rather hear Luna say it, than hear it from me. I mean this is a problem between, Mark and I. So shouldn't it be us fixing it? If we can't do that now, How will we be able to have a future?

I'm depressing myself right now. I need a good-night rest. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better.
