A Best friend's Loyalty
"I am confused."
"Hey girl, quit mourning. It has been officially 2 years since your fake lover migrated!" Bret spoke as soon as he reached the location where Emy is sitting.
"Stop it." she just chuckled but then continued reading right after.
"Okay.. Okay. But can you at least give your baby Tommie a chance to.... " then he faded.
"A chance to what?" she raised her eyebrow and looked at him accusingly.
"You know... love." he smiled sheepishly.
"I can't." she dismissed.
"Why? It's not like he's married to someone plus he has been trying to earn your love since day 1 when that stupid coward Damon left." he started blabbing and she just pretended like she was listening until an invisible light bulb lighted above his head, "or maybe you're just in denial! It's not a matter of can't but it is a matter of not wanting to give it a shot."
"Look, maybe I'm just old-fashion, a hopeless romantic, or whatever you call it but still no." she rolled her eyes at her annoying friend.
"Come on Emily, you're becoming annoying already." her bestfriend suddenly sounded serious.
She sighed and let her walls down, "I am confused."
"Of what?" he asked.
"Of how I feel. I love Damon but I also love Tommie."
"You can just give me the other guy." he winked and drank his chocolate drink.
"I'll head home now." she stood up and walked away.
It has been officially two years since Damon left her or maybe dumped her but she's still hoping. There is something about Damon which draws her to him. However, it is also undeniable that she has been trying so hard to keep Tommie out of the picture. Tommie becoming all sweet to her is too good to be true. If Damon didn't happen then she would have been ecstatic when Tommie confessed his feelings for her. She likes Tommie but guilt consumes her when she thinks of all the good memories with Damon.
"Why can't I forget you?" she asked as she looked at her pet.
It answered her with a stare.
"Are you hungry?"
Again, it just stared at her while comfortably sitting on it's couch.
"Am I in love?"
Suddenly it barked and ran to her door.
"Was it your answer?" she jolted up and looked at her pet but a knock followed after she asked her pet.
"Come in." she said.
"Hi." a very familiar figure appeared.
"Good evening." she greeted.
"How are you?" he asked.
"Still moving on from my Damon." she dramatically said. Emy have already mastered the skill of looking at Tommie with a poker face to avoid any awkward situations.
"I can help you." he smiled.
"No more please date me, Tommie." she whined.
"No, not like that mine."
"Ugh! Stop it. Stop calling me mine." she said in disgust.
Then suddenly, Tommie started tickling her tickle spots and they both fell on her bed. She couldn't help but laugh as she struggles to push him away from her. But as what they say, men are physically stronger than women. Without having any more choice, she lightly bit his shoulder. He stopped and stared at her with their awkward position. She is beneath Tommie and he was staring at her deeply.
