<completed>Promise (Juliantina)

Val's phone is ringing, she took a glance and it was Chloe, she picked up the call and decided to tell Chloe the truth that she wants to try again with Jul.

"How did it go?"

"Jul has explained to me everything and she apologised for her mistake. She said she is willing to wait for me no matter what."

"I guess it's the end for us then... It's my cue to leave and put our relationship at rest. I have my happy times with you so don't worry about me. I'm already mentally prepared for this day to come..."

"I'm so sorry Chloe, I owe you an apology. You know I always have the soft spot for you, always."

"You guys deserve this, always can get through bad times together, I wish I could find someone like you..."

"Chloe, you are a sweet and lovely girl. I'm sure you will find someone who loves you like you do, just lower your freaking expectation! I will drop by your place later on, see you soon!"

"See you soon!"

Val placed her phone on the kitchen counter, "so you have heard everything and surprisingly Chloe took it well... Now I'm the one who broke her heart and I have to live with the guilt in me for the rest of my life..."

"Val, it's not your fault... Come on let's go out for a walk with Diego to ease your mind. I miss our daily routines ever since you moved out...."

Ashleigh spotted them while heading out for her run, "oh my god, you guys are back together! I'm so happy for the both of you. Valentina, i'm really sorry for what I have done, I swear on my life I didn't mean to wreck your relationship... I know it's all in the past now, pretty sure none of us want to bring this matter up but i'm sincerely sorry, please forgive me and let's be neighbour again..."

Ashleigh stretches out her hand to offer an apology handshake, Jul looks at Val then back at Ashleigh in hoping Val will take the handshake. Val smacks Ashleigh's arm and bring her into a hug, "No more funny ideas... But to be honest, this made our relationship even stronger than before. We are actually heading out for a walk and then dinner, pay for our dinner and you will be forgiven."

Ashleigh was smiling so hard that her eyes couldn't be seen, "Sure, if that's so easy. Would you mind giving me 10 minutes to go back in and change out my clothes... I know a pretty decent place that serve wickedly good tapas and tacos, you guys will be the judge for that."

"Alright, we will wait for you out here."

"Val, i'm proud of you!"

"Why is that?"

"You have a big heart that forgives me and Ashleigh. I love you."

"Love you too!"

"I heard that you are a model right? I was thinking if you want to model for our clothing line?"

"What?!"

"Val? Since when do we have a clothing line?!"

"I'm actually working in secret for months, I have a few pieces drawn out, I told my papa that I wanted to open a store in Argentina but I guess for now, it should be based in Australia since the both of us are gonna be here for another year or so..."

"I mean I'm honoured to be your model but are you sure? Do you guys want to discuss with each other first?"

"Jul, what do you think? Ashleigh has the looks and height, she is famous in Australia, if we employ her for our clothing line, i'm sure we have no problem with the sales..."
