The REAL Bobby

late nights

Bobby sits by the edge of the pool contemplating what to do. He messed up his plan almost immediately and was literally falling so hard for this girl.
MC watches from afar, an awful feeling in the pit of her stomach, as Priya plops down beside the pool and plants a cheeky kiss on bobby's cheek.
He's going to break your heart, her inner voice sings.
Bobby leans forward towards the water and sighs. "Hey bobs!" A voice behind him coos making him cringe. "Oh uh hey priya."
As he feels her lips plant on his cheek. "Priya what the fuck." He frowns pushing her off but then hesitates
MC smiles softly at bobby's rejection and begins making him some tea. He deserves it, the voice whispers but her eyes still watch their every movement.
"Look Bobby I know you and MC are happy but Rahim is going to pick her, so I'm willing to be your second choice." She places her hand high on his thigh
MC frowns at the girls action, but continues to spoon a small teaspoon of leaves into a cup. She can feel her heart beat in her ears, can feel the burning sensation of tears at the back of her throat.
Bobby can't stop thinking, "I need some space..alone please." Bobby pleads wobbling to stand up. Priya forcefully grabs him towards her causing him to trip
MC steps forward, moving to help him. But that's when it happens, that's when Priya steps forward and presses her body against his; her lips against his. And he doesn't pull away.

A single tear rolls down her cheek, the forgotten gift of tea still in her clasped hands
Why is she kissing me. Bobby thinks why am I not pulling away. Finally he yanks his head back. "What the fuck priya." Bobby angrily limps off
But he stops half way up the yard, his eyes meeting MC's from across the lawn.

She glances down towards the cuppa, the one she had made for him, and back up. Another tear rolls down her cheek

Is this what he does at night? She wonders. Secret meetings with Priya?
Bobby sees her crying and knows she saw everything. "Mc it's not what is looks like." He goes to grab her hand. Why can't they just be happy together
MC let's him hold her hand. But her eyes are on Priya, two steps behind him; a smirk on her lips.
"I was just sitting her thinking about well life and she came out of nowhere. I swear there is no other girl here i would wanna kiss besides you." He pleads
MCs hands are shaking, she anxious. She's never been so anxious in her entire like actually.

She glances down towards the mug, refuses to meet his eye.

'I -- um -- made you a cuppa,' she mumbles. "I woke up alone and was worried so I came out here and -- yeah."

Priya snorts from behind them. "A cuppa? Ain't you cute? Bobby needs a real woman."
Bobby glares at priya "can you leave you've already cause enough problems." Then he turns to her. "Love breathe." He grabs the cup and sets it down. "You are way too good to me." He kisses her forehead and rubs her back.
She melts against him. "Bobby I--" love you, but she can't say it. Not now, what if he doesn't feel the same way?
Bobby feels her breathing match his and he just sits there and holds her. Damn it Bobby you are falling too hard too fast. He can hear his best friends voice in his head. He knew he was in trouble
MC looks up through her lashes. She tries to tell him what she is feeling with her eyes, not her words. She doesn't want to feel the humiliation of unrequited love
"What's on your mind?" Bobby asks watching her facial expressions. He begins to rubs her thigh
MC can sense, more than see, Priya walk off in a huff.

She sighs. "Can we have one of those serious talks?"
"Yeah of course love." He smiles weakly
MC settles down on the grace beside him, motioning for him to join her. He does.

"I have something I need to tell you," she whispers. "Before I loose my nerve."
"Ok..you are making me nervous what is it?" Bobby looks down
"Um I --" she chickens out.

She freaking chickens out.

MC laughs, "Nothing. Its not important actually."
Bobby looks at her weirdly. "Are you sure? You know you can tell me anything." He places his hand under her chin
MC raises her eyes to meet his. "How do you feel about me?"
Bobby grins, "I really like you. I can't believe you picked me still honestly."
MC smiles, but she cannot help but stare down at her entwined fingers. "Just like? Do you think you could ever maybe -- um -- love a girl like me?"
Bobby blinks. In his head he yells YES. But this is getting to much for him all the lies and playing the game. He just sits there unable to find the words "um..I"
MC shoulders slump. "Oh. No that's okay, I get it."

She smiles, but it is a sad smile. She's hurt and she's never been too good at hiding it it.
"No I'm sorry that came out wrong.. it's not you it's me I've never been good at finding love and umm I uh I need to go get some water." Bobby jumps up and walks away quickly his hands shaking
MC frowns, her heart breaks every step he takes away from her.

He's going to break your heart
Bobby sits in the kitchen area. He decides to bake something to relax a little. Of course he struggles since he can't walk around super easy right now. "I need help." He sighs realizing there's no way he can reach the bowls
MC stands and begins to walk back to the villa, head down and fingers linked
Bobby slumps down in a chair. "Don't cry Bobby." He mumbles out loud. It's not even worth the money anymore he hates it here.
She looks up at the last moment and meets his eye, reading his emotions easily.

"What's wrong?"
Bobby can't take it anymore all the lies, "I have to confess something to you. I know you'll hate me after I tell you this. But I have feelings for you that are too strong for me to hide this any longer."
