Lust and Love

👤8 : "Dancer."

Mom stays in the house to bond with her grandchildren and Natasha and Ella also came, while I went to meet Leah in our favorite café to keep up with each other. To be honest I feel guilty about yesterday. She had sent me a lot of messages in which I just ignored all of them.

"How was your date?" I ask her. Actually I'm so happy for her she's got some guy to have fun with. She barely had romantic relationships after she broke up with her husband. She's that devastated.

"Hmm it was great. We had so much fun!" She replies with obvious cliché sparks in her eyes. Never seen her like that for a long time.

"Good for you Lee. So happy for you."

"How about you? You weren't responding to any of my messages. Busy?"

Okay, I'll just tell her the truth.

"Guess what?" I smirk at her.

"What?"

"I was hanging out with Ryan yesterday."

"No way! The hottie Guzman? And without even informing me?!"

"You had a date and I don't want to be an interruption."

"Oh so that's why you seem happy today and you went to church to thank God He made you reunite with your baby Ryan," she teases. "I'll tell your baby Alex about that."

And speaking of Alex, my phone rings, indicating a new message. I swipe on the screen, but it wasn't from Arod.

"Is that him?"

iMessage from Ryan > Me: How are you Ms. Lopez? Does your head hurt? Take aspirin, okay;)

I smile at the thought of him being concerned about me. Sure it's just one of his friendly reminders as my friend, of course.

"My god Jennifer you're blushing. Is that Alex's nudes?"

I put down my phone on the table, "No what the heck. It's not something like that."

I just didn't tell her it was Ryan.

"Guess what?" Now she smirks at me.

"Yeah what?"

"I'm so inlove with my new boy", she gushes like a teenage girl.

"Yeah not obvious Lee," I sarcastically say.

"Aren't you wondering who he is?"

"Oh yeah you haven't mention your new toyboy's name."

"Duh I told you, you should have met him yesterday. I'm sure you miss him too."

I'm confused. "I'm sorry? Do I know him?" I say curiously.

"Dancer." She says.

"Dance-what?! Don't tell me.."

"Yeah I'm having fun with Beau."

"Leah-"

"I know right. I know you won't approve. But I'm sure you've already moved on from him-"

"-of course." I say.

"Then I guess there's no problem with that."

"But Lee!" I lower my voice, "He's a user! He just used me and you know that!"

"But I'm having a pretty great time with him! He's witty, sexy, talented and smart.."

"Because his name is Beau Casper Smart," I say rolling my eyes.

"Ugh can't you just be happy for your bestfriend's happiness?"

I just give up and sigh, "Whatever you say."

"Girls just wanna have fun." We both say in unison unintentionally. But hers is in a more enthusiastic tone.

"Ohh I love you Jen."

If only you weren't my bestfriend..

"Love you too."
