Essence

"What?! Why? I mean, what do you mean?" Redverse says

"We can't be friends anymore, I can't be your friend," I tell him.

"One," he says

"One, what?" I ask.

"Reason," he replies.

"You're acting a little different to be only my friend. You look at me differently like more than friends. And I don't want to be more cause I might lose you. " I want to say that, but I can't.

When a handsome stranger helps Essence calm down before her medical final clinical exam, she can't help but think of those brown eyes from time to time. She wonders if she will ever meet him again. At least, that's what she hopes for.

Essence FawnVine has always wished men would look her way throughout her three years of college. But for unknown reasons, they never did, and she had made peace with that fact. On top of that, she is used to having male friends who never wanted to cross the friendly borderline, even when she was ready to cross the friendzone. It's in those moments when she decided never to allow herself to cross the friendzone ever again. But when a 25 years old, famous Anesthesiologist specialist, Redverse Fontaine, comes into the picture, she is tempted to go against her own rule. And it seems Redverse has every intention to make her break her own rule. Will Redverse succeed in that? And will Essence finally give in to the temptation?
