"I can't believe this."
Alfie Lewis was pacing up and down in the closet. His eyes looked up to meet those of Nina Martin's, before he went back to pacing. "Unbelievable."
"Alfie, calm down." Nina said. "They'll find us."
"But how long will that take, Nina?!" Alfie demanded. Then he sighed, sitting down on the floor beside her. "I'm sorry...just...I'm so frustrated."
"Because of Amber?" Nina asked.
"A little. But, it's more my feelings for someone else. How am I supposed to win her over if she's already in love?" Alfie asked.
"Maybe she likes you too, deep down. She might just pretend to love someone else in order to hide it." Nina suggested.
"Nah. He's everything that I'm not." Alfie shrugged. "She'd never go for me."
"Do I know her? Maybe I could slap some sense into her." Nina laughed. "You're perfect, Alfie, in your own way." she said. "This girl doesn't know how lucky she is."
Alfie couldn't help but notice the jealousy in her tone in that last sentence. He glanced over at her and saw she was looking at the floor bitterly.
"Jealous?" Alfie asked.
"No!" Nina said defensively.
Alfie raised an eyebrow.
"...yeah." Nina admitted after a bit.
"No need." Alfie told her.
"Why?"
"Because that girl is you, and the other guy is Fabian." Alfie said.
"Fabian...he's my best friend. But...I doubt I can ever see him in the same way after what happened with him and Joy. I've always liked you more, Alfie." Nina told him.
She leaned over and kissed him softly. He kissed back. After a few moments, the kiss got more heated, more meaningful.
Neither of them got another word in after that.
