Lust and Love

🔴39 - Friday the 13th

After few days of vacay with the fam, now I'm finally back in LA doing my usual thing and getting busy again. Despite of my hectic schedule, I would always do my best to still find alone time with myself. It helps me think clearly and make plans on what I should do the following days and that..

Alex is being more attentive to me too. He's been really concern about me not only physically, but more importantly mentally and emotionally. We talk more often too about just anything and random stuffs. Actually, we did a lot of talking way back during our vacation in New York.

I never saw or heard about Beau after the last incident that happened in our house. A part of me thinks that he was sincere with his sorry. But because of the conflict we had in the past, I can't really be blamed if it's hard for me to believe again in anything he says. Trust is so hard to build again once broken.

Today, July 13, Friday the 13th it is, I'm so glad I can have the weekend cause I've got nothing on my schedule. I've always heard some people believe that if it's 13 and it's Friday, bad things usually happen. Accidents or any misfortunes can happen. There's even a movie called "Friday the 13th" but I haven't seen it though. I think it's some kind of a horror one. I like suspense but I don't like scary movies.

I still kind of have that belief too because of my mom. So the rest of the family are just staying at home.

I know a person who doesn't believe in superstitious belief like this and it's Leah. So tonight, she plans to have a sleepover in our house so we could have some bff/girly time. But she says if she'll get into an accident on the way in going here and die, then that's the time she'll believe in that belief. As stupid as she sounded, I scold her for having that kind of "challenge" in her head. Seriously? What if she'll die tonight? Then it's my fault because I allowed her to come over.

When she finally came, we all ate together dinner. Leah has always been regular in my house and everyone knows that. We've been friends for so many years, I forgot when was the exact time we became so comfortable with each other's houses like it's our own.

After a hearty delicious dinner Alex spares me and my bestfriend a time to have some one on one talk. Have you ever tried having a huge trouble with one of your closest friend then it's time for you to rekindle your friendship? Yep, that's what we are going to do. It's just that, I missed the old Leah before that douche Beau came between us.

Eight o'clock and everyone is surely still awake but Leah and I are in the balcony keeping up with each other's businesses.

"The stars are so bright tonight, aren't they?" I say randomly.

"They always are, Jen."

"I mean.. I just noticed how bright they are in the night sky and they are so.. so many."

After saying that, I eventually think I sounded stupid in that statement.

"By the way, Jennifer.. See?" She throws out her arms like she's presenting herself. "I'm perfectly fine, Friday the 13th isn't real. It's just another normal friday and we should have been clubbing and partying."

"Okay whatever. You win. But THIS time only. You know I never wanna lose," I say winking at her.

"Duh?? This isn't a competition though, but I win. That superstitious belief is ridiculous." She playfully rolls her eyes.

After we calm down from laughing. Leah says, "By the way, I came by tonight so we could hang out before I'll die tomorrow."

"H-Huh?"

"Just kidding! I was gonna say, I'd like to hang out with my bff before I'll go with my vacation. You already had yours so now it's my turn."

"Oh really? I wanna go with you, Lee."
