The Short Love Between Jean and Rob

The Blossoming Love

No one's P.O.V

"Jean! Help me with this!"
Athena exclaimed, she was asked to check two test papers but the teacher was speaking so fast that she can't keep up.

"Nah, I think you're good" Jean said, looking at her phone.

She's been thinking about alot of things lately, she literally just found out that Rob likes her and wants to court her, yet now, Gale wants to be with her again.

She still likes Gale, but she saw sincerity from Rob's words.

It's short, It's pretty simple, but there's something that she feels.as if she could trust him already.

She's falling for him, but still trying to hold on to Gale.

One of her friends from her former place is texting her, he's her ex boyfriend, but they can't be together anymore because they both moved on.

Believe it or not, They are now regular friends.

"You know, I think Rob is sincere with what he's telling you...You know me, I can sense when someone is not trust worthy" Athena suddenly spoke, making Jean jump from her seat.

Jean looked at her phone, then looked at Athena, she's contemplating whether or not to tell Athena...

She chose the first option.

"You know the feeling when you still love someone, but you could feel yourself falling for someone else because you saw the kind of love that you deserve from that someone?" Jean finally spoke.

"YUP...I know what that feels like" Athena quietly said under her breath.

"I just feel like Rob is the one who actually likes me, sometimes, I feel like I'm staying with Gale for no damn reason, he kept on lying and lying and cheating, but I kept on trying to be blind and not see his wrong doings" Jean explained.

She's not wrong, Gale had slept with tons of girls already, yet even when Jean knew, she still turned a blind eye and decided to just not care.
She loves the guy...

"Y'know, Valentines day is coming up, I guess we'll see" Athena said, still writing something down her notebook, she likes writing, she loves reading, she loves art and music.
But behind those simple hobbies of hers, you would know that she's not messing around when It comes to seeing what someone is doing.
She knows when someone is lying for their own gain or if someone is simply protecting someone.
And right now, she could see that Jean isn't willing to protect Gale anymore, she could see that Jean is done with him..but deep inside, she still cares about him.
Athena could see that Jean simply wants to see Gale be a better person, yet, Jean is already falling for Rob.

"Jean, I know it's not my place to say this, but have you ever thought of the fact that Gale being with Ann is the least of your problems? He's simply manipulating both of you into staying with him, the moment both of you girls leave him, is also the day he loses his pride" Athena said what's on her mind, Jean just looked at her and then leaned her head on Athena's shoulders.

"I don't know anymore, girl, I don't know anymore..."
------

Jean got home with those exact words from Athena.

'no, I can't believe that I'm falling for Gale's tricks, even Athena saw what he was doing! He's been using the fact that I love him just for me to stay with him even after what he did!'

Ding

'It's Rob, I have to tell him what I'm thinking...'

Rob: Hey Jean!

Hey Rob, I was just thinking, do you think that I'm an Idiot?

Rob: What? No! If this is about that guy, Don't think about him, He's a jerk!

Awe, that's sweet, do you think he's manipulative?

Rob: Personally speaking, bases on EVRYTHING that you told me about him? Yes, I do.

Okay, thanks for answering, I guess I already saw the signs, but I was just too dumb.

Rob: You love him, that's why, I mean, I love YOU, that's why I'm willing to not look at the fact that I might not have ANY chance with you.

Come on, yes you DO, you are literally the sweetest guy I've ever met! You're like those foreign sweets that you gave me, super sweet.

Rob: DAMN, stop, my heart will have a seizure, that's bad.

Cute.

Rob: Jean. Stop. I'll die of a heart attack if you keep on doing that.

Oh no! I'll stop! I'll stop!

Rob: Such a sweetheart.

They spent their evening talking to each other.
