"So Stace, you want me to walk you home? It seems like you're not feeling well at all." David (Flair)asked her slowly.

"Yeah sure. I really need company right now." Stacy smiled gratefully and looked at David's face. Then behind David she saw Randy leaving with Torrie. "Let's go?" she just said to David. She doesn't need to see him again with Torrie Wilson on his side. Randy met her eyes and they looked at each other for a moment. Randy wanted to smile as if to say, 'I'm just hanging out with her. Don't worry.' But he couldn't.

"What if she doesn't return my smile?" Randy asked himself and shook his head.

"What is he shaking his head for?" Stacy asked herself when she saw Randy shaking his head while looking at her.

"Are you okay Randy?" Torrie asked sweetly.

"Yeah, I am." He said and finally walked away. Torrie turned to see Stacy looking at them.

"You're taking me home right?" Torrie said to him seductively.

"Yeah, don't worry I will babe." Randy said and smirked. Torrie suddenly kissed him fully on the lips while looking at Stacy. Stacy just looked at them with her chest tightening.

"Stacy's too dumb to not fall for you. You're so handsome and so damn sexy. In plain words, you're just too good for her." Torrie said after she pulled away from him.

"Oh yeah?" Randy just said, the beer he had earlier was now taking effectand Torrie nodded and glared at Stacy one last time before she and Randy walked away.

"Stace, let's go?" David asked her again.

"Yeah, yeah, let's go." Stacy agreed and walked with him. She let David hold her elbow as they walked.

The two of them walked together in silence for a long time.

"You know what Stace, I still---"David was about to say something when Stacy's phone rang.

"Wait." Stacy said and grabbed her phone from her purse. It was Trish on the other line. David felt like slapping his forehead. Instead he just rehearsed some lines while Stacy was on the phone.

"Stace, I think it's still you in here…" he said under his breath. "That's sounds stupid!" he thought.

"Stace, how are you doing?" Trish asked worriedly.

"I'm okay, David's walking me home." she replied.

"Stace, I still care for you." David shook his head.

"David? You mean David Flair?" Trish asked curiously.

"Yes, David Flair. Why do you sound so shocked?" Stacy asked as David smiled at her.

"Nothing, it's just that I find it hard to believe that he's walking you home after what happened between the two of you." Trish told her.

"Stace, after all those times we were apart, I realized I still care for you."

"We're okay, we're friends. We've made a truce to forget the bad things we've been through." Stacy told her best friend while studying David's handsome face.

"Maybe, I could still fall for you after all we've been through." Stacy thought.

"Stace, my heart still beats for you." David thought as she looked at her secretly.

"Really? That's uh... great I guess." Trish said hesitantly.

"I'll just call you when I get home. Don't worry. I'm okay really." Stacy assured her and hung up.

"So what was that you were about to tell me?" Stacy nudged him when she noticed he was staring into space. "David you're drooling!" she said jokingly.

"Wha-what!" he said, startled by her voice.

"I said you're already drooling!" Stacy joked and laughed.

"I like it when you laugh. It's like music in my ears." David told her and touched her cheek so gently. Stacy blushed and didn't know what to say. David realized what he was doing and took his hand away.

"Seriously, what was that you were telling me before my phone rang?" Stacy just asked, feeling her cheeks cool down a bit.

"Uh nothing. I forgot." He lied. Silence fell upon them once again.

"Was that Trish?" David asked her out of the blues.

"Yeah, she was so shocked when I told her I am with you." Stacy told him and chuckled a bit.

"Hard to believe that we're still friends?" David said and smiled with her.

"Yeah…" Stacy just replied.

"You know what Stace. I think there's really something bothering you." David told her. He noticed her sadness and wanted to cheer her up. He really loves this woman and can't afford to look at her lonely.

"How can you tell?" Stacy asked.

"Stace, I know you. We've been friends since we were kids and we became 'us' so I really know you." David told her and stopped her from walking by holding her shoulders.

"Tell me Stace. Maybe I can help." David offered.

"I think I've already fallen for someone Dave." Stacy confessed without looking at him.
