Come to think of it, it's only been two months since John cheated on me. That's right, you heard me. It was the typical kind of story wherein he got drunk in a party, he wasn't thinking blah, blah, blah… I've heard it a thousand times before and he didn't do anything about it so I got tired and I left him. I thought he already forgot about me and moved on to some other girl who he's going to hurt sooner or later but that phone call proved me wrong. But I don't know what I'm doing giving in to him. I thought I got over him but maybe, just maybe, I still love him.

I sat on the couch and stared at my phone until someone knocked on the door. I got up and opened it without looking through the peep hole.

"I'm sorry," Drake said as soon as I opened the door.

"Its fine but what happened to you?" I asked letting him in.

"It's nothing really," he said sitting on the chair beside the couch.

"It can't be nothing. You ran off and never came back. You expect that to be nothing?" I said.

"I said I was sorry,"

"But you didn't tell me why you did it so how can I forgive you if-"

"Alright, alright already," he said cutting me off.

"Okay, spill." I said sitting on the couch.

"The thing is…" he said trailing off nervously.

"What?" I said impatiently.

"Well, I don't really know how you're going to take this but I kinda got jealous," he said and I laughed.

"Jealous of what?" I asked chuckling.

"Jealous of Ben," he said uneasily and then I stopped laughing.

"Why would you be jealous of him?" I asked seriously

"Forget it, this is plain stupid." He said getting up.

"No, don't go. You're not done yet." I said pulling him down to the space beside me.

"Fine, the truth is that I like you. I have always liked you ever since that day," he said

"What day?" I asked.

"The day John messed you up. After that day I just felt like I needed to protect you and be by your side all the time. This is lame, I know but at least it's true." He said

"Y-you liked me?" I said not really believing the words that came out of his mouth.

"No, I like you. Present tense," he said. I stared into his eyes and he stared into mine. For a moment we were silent and it gave me time to notice that he was actually a pretty charming and handsome guy. I wonder why this only occurred to me now. His brown hair and blue eyes gave me away. Only seconds pass until his lips finally found their way on mine. That went on for awhile and then suddenly he broke it. He gasped for air.

"You okay?" I asked smiling.

"Better than ever," he said planting kisses on my neck. I placed my head in the crook of his neck and breathe in his sweet smell. Then he stopped.

"I think we should take this slow," he whispered in to my ear and I loosened my grip.

"Of course," I said kissing him on the lips. Then I stood up.

"Where are you going?" he asked getting up as well.

"Kitchen because I've been feeling kinda hungry," I said grabbing my phone. I walked towards the kitchen.

"I'll be right here," Drake called out from the room.

"Okay," I said.

I fixed up a sandwich and grabbed a soda can from the fridge. I was going to start eating when I heard me phone ring. I placed everything on top of the counter to pick up the phone and see who was calling. When I looked at the caller ID, I noticed that it was the same number that called a while ago. What did he want this time?

I stared at the phone until it stopped ringing. I can't pick it up right now, not with Drake in the next room waiting for me. Whatever he wanted had to wait. I don't care how long but it just had to.
