I don't wanna wait in vain for your love.
From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, girl,
My heart says follow t'rough.
But I know, now, that I'm way down on your line,
But the waitin' feel is fine:
So don't treat me like a puppet on a string,
'Cause I know I have to do my thing.

[It's was Waiting in vain played in the background. What a trick of fate!]

– So, you are here to find me? – I raised an eyebrow

– As the matter of fact! I think I'm in love with you, which I was too stubborn to admit, Becs! Please don't give up on us, can we give it a shot? – Chloe informed

Like I said:
It's been three years since I'm knockin' on your door,
And I still can knock some more:
Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible?
I wanna know now, for I to knock some more.
Ya see, in life I know there's lots of grief,
But your love is my relief:
Tears in my eyes burn – tears in my eyes burn
While I'm waiting – while I'm waiting for my turn,

– Of course you love me. We are best friend! – I smirked

– Not in that way. I mean, I really have a crush on you since I first met you in your party. And it kept growing up, but I just didn't dare to make a move

I don't wanna – I don't wanna – I don't wanna wait in vain
It's me love that you're running from.
It's Jah love that I'm waiting on – I don't wanna – I don't wanna –
I don't wanna – I don't wanna – I don't wanna wait in vain
It's me love that you're running from.

– I've been waiting for you to say this like forerever now! – I'm obviously happy to hear, it all showed in my tone. However, the uprising stubborn in my head messed up. I hated my brain's talk – But listen, Chlo! We've never actually started, how on Earth can I give up? I don't think we should be in a relationship. It's the best for us to be best friend, like we have always been. There's nothing to be ruined. And I think I should step out of your shadow and move on… And as a matter of fact, even if tomorrow is the end of the world, I never giving up on our friendship! – suddenly I didn't even trust my voice to continue. If I ever tried to speak up now, I was sure in pieces, just like my voice. I even cannot believe in my lie, how could her?

I was broken as words came out. But I didn't have any other ideas. I couldn't handle this situation. She just jumped out of her fears and confessed her feelings to me, wanting me to give us a shot. I was afraid. I couldn't do it. My mind screamed as I had the whole future ahead, in LA, I had to make a fresh start… She's always messing my plans up! Meeting her at first was wrong. Inviting her to the party was wrong. Falling in love with her was even fatal thing that I couldn't help. My life had changed since she appeared…

She didn't speak anything, but the tears had pouring down her crystal ocean blue eyes.

– I'm sorry, I was such a dork for running away, ignoring your love

– You don…

– I even took it all for granted, being protected by you, being with you,… everything seemed so perfect that I didn't realize. I couldn't…

I pulled her into a hug, yet, I've never been fond of any physical contacts, and of course, never try to make any, but for her, I'm willing to

– C'mon! Don't cry, baby! You're the bestest of the best friend that I ever had. So don't blame yourself for that. – I assured her – Besides, it's my faults, not yours, ok?

– I wa..

– No, you are not! You are always the best. – I was honest; I don't want her to cry like this. Can't bear it

– So can we?

– I was running away from you at first place, wasn't I? Every cracks in our friendship and this situation are all my faults. Give me a chance to fix it, will you? – to be just your best friend, your sister!. Anyways, drop this topic please, bitch! – I was trying as fuck to suppress the grimace inside and out, cannot show her any of affections now – By the way, we just cannot stay in here forever. My friend is waiting outside. Just come over to my place, we've shared our apartment before, so you may don't mind doing again, do you? – I teased her

We headed to the waiting room, where Jesse was waiting

Bonjour ma petite Cherie! – Jess exclaimed and pulled me into a bone-crushing hug

– Hey, Jess! It's great to see you! Ah, this is my best friend, Chloe. Chloe this is Jessie.

– Hi, nice to meet you – Chloe spoke up

– Hi, nice to meet you too. It's so great that this little maus finally decided to move to LA. I'm gonna be your guide here, so – he happily spoke

– Ok, guys! Can I have a drive to the nearest Mac&Cheese or TacoBell's now, Mr. City Guide? I'm starving

– There's a great restaurant right in the corner of our building! Don't tell me that you want to have Mac or TacoBell more than the perfect steak there!

He really cared about me, it's like he savoured everything that I told him, from the moment we knew each other until now. He's sure my good company!
