They remained still waiting for each other to utter the first word to confess something that would clarify everything. Emily who is standing in front of her best friend couldn't find her tongue to explain how she fucking forgot Cassie's birthday when they celebrated it almost their entire life together. How could she explain it when she already cut her best friend's heart into two? She can't believe how horrible she was back in Naomi's office. She felt so guilty. She should be.

"Cass.." she's trying to touch her best friend's arm to pull her closer. She cannot show how sorry she is. "I'm sorry."

"Don't. Just fucking don't." she motion herself backwards to avoid Emily's convincing touch that if she'll feel it, she knows everything will be okay. "Sorry is not the right word to exhaust whenever you hurt someone all over again, right? Sorry meant to be said just once because what if you kept on hurting that person? All you need to do is to say sorry and everything will be fine and the cycle goes again."

"It's not my intention. I didn't mean to forget your birthday." Tears are evident in Emily's eyes. "You know how much I want you to be happy."

"Everyone says it's not their intention to pain someone if the real thing already exists. Of course, who'll admit that he/she intentionally hurt someone then say sorry? No one." She smiles sadly. How could she be so fucking logical whenever she's serious or in pain? "Everything can be explained. It's just a matter of lying when you don't want to hurt someone so much. Like what you are doing right now." She scoffs.

"Cassie, no. I'm not lying. I'm telling the truth." She doesn't know if it's a good thing to say the reason why she cannot go the theme park with her best friend. She's thinking that she might add up an insult to the existing injury she created in her best friend's heart. "It really slipped from my mind. I'm sorry."

"Yeah. Sorry cannot take it all back when it already happened. Too bad, I just can't take it anymore." She managed to gaze at her best friend whilst saying those heart breaking words. "I'm going beyond my stupid limits. I can't bear it anymore. It's so fucking painful."

"Naomi and I are having dinner later that's why I cannot go with you today. Your birthday slipped from my mind that I quickly said yes to her." she spoken the wrong words. She saw Cassie made a twitch in her lips indicating she's right after all. "We are trying to make work things out."

Cassie scoffs and shook her head in disbelief. She can feel the strong wind and raindrops slapping on her face leaving a wet cold feeling. She couldn't believe how things happened so sudden. She just woke up one day so fucking tired of everything, tired of asking some love and attention from the person she wish to be with forever. Tired of loving Emily after a lifetime of enduring the happy and painful experienced she had with her best friend. She couldn't swallow another pain from Emily when all through out her life she's miserably happy. How can she be so fucking stupid loving her best friend that cannot love her back?

"Yeah. You're right. You're working things out with her that you didn't notice other people around you." She mockingly laughs. "How could you even forget the special day in my life when all I wanted was to be with you? How could it be so fucking hard for you to spare just 5 hours of your precious time? I'm not taking you away from her. As if you'd even choose me over her."

Emily suddenly feels a big lump on her throat that she never imagined her best friend talking to her like it's ripping her heart into two. Her lovely best friend whom she found strength and joy had turned to a person she never knew at all. Her words are sharp; stinging badly that can make a heart swollen without touching it. She can see pain all over Cassie that she cannot fathom if she'll be able to have Cassie back into her old self.

"You're my best friend." Tears fell from her sad eyes upon realizing what would be the result of that confrontation. "I love you."

"As a friend. Not as a person which I was badly dreaming for almost 13 years that we're together." She turns her back against Emily planning to soak herself under the heavy rain to take away all her pain and tears. "Maybe stepping out from each other's life would lessen the pain that we might cause to each other."

Emily's eyes grow wider. No, she can't allow that. She won't do that. She can't stand losing her best friend. She may lose everything but she's sure she won't lose Cassie. But now hearing those words exactly from the person she wished would stay forever; she felt like losing half of her life. Cassie was her everything when she had nothing. Cassie is her best friend and forever will be her best friend no matter what. Cassie is planning on stepping out from her life which she couldn't bear thinking.

"Cassie, no. No, no, no." she sobs herself against her palm. She cannot take it. "No! You won't. I won't! Understand?" she's exclaiming. Good thing people are not around in that particular area. "Please don't do this. Please no."

"Would you even dare choosing me over her?"

Emily tried to say yes but her heart can't say it. It's saying otherwise. She's in love with Naomi.

"I'm in love with her, Cassie." She simply answers.

"And I'm in love with you too. How's that?" Cassie said it without holding back. It's the best time for her to say everything she feels. "I so fucking love you that I would even die for you, Emily."

"Cass, we talked about it, don't we?"

"You would really think I will fall out of love with you just because you said so? "

"But you know what will be my answer." Emily's having a hard time balancing her relationship with her best friend and Naomi.

"And you know what will be my decision. It's even." She turns her back and prepares herself to embrace the freezing rain that awaits her outside. "I love you that it kills me. Thanks for everything. Goodbye… Emily." She went out and drenched herself whilst pouring all her tears out that no one can notice. If it is painful seeing Emily with somebody else, nothing is more painful than pushing her best friend away from her life. She could even die right in front of Emily letting her know that it's killing her running away, but she has no choice but to think of herself first. All throughout her life, Emily is her concern and everything about her is Emily. She maybe needs to think and be away for the mean time she's feeling her heart being broken every minute.

"Pictorial will be set tomorrow, Effy." Katie is sitting comfortably in her swivel chair whist reviewing some photos they took. "I need some extra effort with this." She let Effy see the picture she needs to be perfect. "Please, be fucking fit on the pictorial."

Effy let out a smirk and pulled her stockings down in front of her employer. "Like this?" she saw Katie eyes widen. "Is this fucking hot for you?" Those long sexy legs makes Katie's throat dry. What was she thinking?

"Oh fucking hell. Would you please stop that yeah?" she's blushing. "I'm a cock cruncher, not a muff muncher."

"Cute." Effy pulls her stocking back and stares at her boss. She can see uneasiness from Katie's aura. She doesn't know if it is because of the upcoming project that needs to have her best shot or it was because of her act earlier?

"We're done." She puts all the pictures down and turns her chair to face the glass which giving her a beautiful scenery seeing the City lights. "Out."

"Harsh." She stands up and made her way out from Katie's office. She's smirking like an idiot, as usual.

She grabs her phone from her pocket and dialed a number. She smiles upon hearing the voice she was dreaming for almost every day.

"Hey. Busy?"

"What do you want?" Naomi said fiercely.

"Meet me in the bar." She gave the instruction and excitedly went out of the building to meet her ex-girlfriend. She maybe can have Naomi back bit by bit. And she will do everything just to have her back in her life.

After 15 minutes of driving her way to the bar, she hurriedly parks her car and went inside. She can hear all kinds of music and noise all over the place. She's looking for Naomi everywhere when she spotted a peroxide hair in bar counter having a drink. She paused for a moment and studied her ex-girlfriend who became so gorgeous than ever. She misses everything about Naomi. She certainly still loves her. She slowly made her way to where Naomi is.

"Hey."

Naomi turns around to see the familiar voice. "Hey."

There were awkward moments of silence. They both playing on their tequila glass. They don't know what to say to each other. Effy gaze at her and smile.

"I've been thinking about you, a lot." She drinks two straight shots to have the courage to tell everything to Naomi. "Can we make things work out bit by bit?"

Naomi tosses down two straight tequila shots as well. She knows she can't be drunk because she's driving. "I don't know."

"Is there someone else?" Effy asks sadly. She feels like she's ripping her heart open. She's afraid of what Naomi could answer her back.

"No." she lied. What the fuck are you thinking Naomi? What about Emily? Is she nothing to you? "There's no one." What a great liar!

Effy let out a wide smile from her lips upon hearing those enticing words that Naomi said. She can surely have Naomi back. She's smiling whilst drinking.

"I still love you, Nai."

Naomi coughs out her drinks upon hearing Effy. She quickly takes a look of the person beside her who's intently staring at her. She can see Effy leaning towards her to cut the gap that making a distance between them. She cannot think clearly that it was so fast when she felt those soft lips she's craving for almost a year. She shuts her eyes and let herself be taken away by the scent she was dreaming every night after Effy left her. She can still recognize the feeling she was used to have. How she misses her ex-girlfriend.

They broke the kiss apart when they both feel like they need to breathe once in awhile. Naomi stares at the brunette supermodel in front of her and was supposed to say something but she chose not to. She saw Effy softly smiles at her after the kiss. She can see hope from those electric blue eyes. She must send the wrong signal. You're a dead meat now, Naomi.

She saw a familiar blonde girl in the other side of the counter staring at her fiercely as if she'll beat the life hell out of her, that it was wrong to kiss Effy. She suddenly recognizes the familiar face. She excuses herself when she saw the blonde girl went out from the bar.

"Oh shit!" she runs fast just to get the girl. "Jesus fucking Christ. It was Cassie!"

She saw Cassie went to the parking area to grab her car. Naomi grabs her hurriedly when a heavy hand slaps on her pale cheeks.

"How fucking thick is your fucking face, Campbell?" Cassie saw a blood dripping from the side of Naomi's lips. She couldn't imagine how strong her hand is. "You fucking liar!"

"Cassie, wait. It's not what you think." She's so worried. Emily must not know what happened. "I don't love her."

"You fucking compose yourself or I'll fucking ruin you! Don't test my patience you bitch, I can ruin you, your career; I can ruin everything including that bitch supermodel. You fucking don't want to test my power. Do you?" Cassie went furious upon hearing and seeing everything between Effy and Naomi. She won't allow Naomi to hurt her so loved best friend.

"I'm in love with Emily! It was so fast that I didn't managed to avoid her." she really is worried. If Emily finds out, it's the end of everything. "Please don't tell Emily. I love her Cassie."

"You even fucking accepted the job of teaching her everything to have the second highest position in their Company. How can you explain that to her? It was a prize of taming her or it was because you wanted to be fucking superior?" Cassie is shaking. She cannot stand speaking to a cheater. "Whatever you have, I can assure you, I can ruin you to bits. Be careful!"

"Please take away everything you want, just don't take Emily. Please." She begs for keeping her mouth shut. "I swear, it's not how it is."

"You fucking fix this. I don't want to see the person I love the most crying because of you or else, you'll pay. Fuck off, bitch!" After saying that, Cassie hops inside her car and angrily drifts away. She cannot allow the blonde fucking Campbell to let Emily suffer. She cannot let anyone else hurt her Emily. She'll do everything to protect her. She'll do everything just to see her best friend happy.
