I know, it's been ages since I've last updated, to be honest, I completely forgot to update. DX
I'm soooo sorry!
She Could Be The One
As she was about to press the button for the elevator, it opened and she saw Steve laughing with Ada.
Claire just looked at them. Steve faced forward and saw Claire standing there. Ada stayed silent.
"Steve..."
Steve looked back at Claire. "Claire... W-what are you doing here?" He asked.
"I came for you..."
Claire looked at Ada. "Ada, what are you doing here?"
Ada didn't know what to say. "I... came to look around. I'm thinking of getting a job here. How do you two know each other?"
Steve stayed silent so Claire answered. "He's my boyfriend... or at least he was." Claire ran out.
"Claire wait!" Steve called out to her, but she was already gone.
'I really screwed up now...' Ada thought to herself.
Steve turned to Ada. "I'm sorry about this. I have to go." He said. She shook her head. "Don't worry about it." She tried to sound calm.
He ran after Claire. She was on her way to her car. "Claire, wait up!" He said as he caught up to her.
She turned around to face him. "What Steve?"
"It's not what you think. I was just giving her a tour, that's all." He said trying to explain himself. Claire didn't buy it. "Didn't look like a tour from where I was standing. Didn't know you were the type to move on so quick."
Steve got mad. "Don't make me seem like the bad guy here Claire. Your just as bad as I am."
Claire shook her head slowly. "What do I have to do to get you to forgive me? It was an accident! I didn't even know about it till Leon confirmed it for me... And how could you leave me like that...?" She asked. Steve stayed quiet.
"Claire... I'm sorry I left without saying a thing. Ada was only here for a job. That's all."
They went to the park nearby and sat down to talk more.
They didn't say a thing to each other for a few minutes. Then Claire broke the silence. "Steve... Where do we go from here?"
He shrugged. "I don't know. I do love you, but... I'm just not sure that we're meant to be."
She turned to him. "How can you say that?"
"Face it Claire. You love Leon." Steve said to her. Claire shook her head. "I love you..."
Steve smiled a bit and shook his head. He was glad she had said that, but he knew the truth. "You may love me, but your IN love with Leon and it's okay. I'm not mad about it. I guess deep down I always knew. You'll never be happy until you face the truth. Whether it actually is me or Leon. What does your heart tell you?"
Claire looked ahead. "I don't know."
Ada went back to her place. She put her purse down and sighed. Then her phone started ringing. She picked it up.
"Ada speaking."
A man was on the other line. "Did you get the pictures?" He asked her. Ada took out the little camera that was hidden in her blouse. "Yeah, I got it." She said. "We have a problem though..."
"What is it?" The man asked rather annoyed.
"I think my cover is blown..."
After leaving the diner, Leon went to work. The whole time he was there, Chris glared at him. Leon was afraid to go near him.
Jill approached him. "You okay Leon?"
He nodded. "Umm, yeah. Except, your hubby keeps giving me the death glare." Jill looked at Chris. "If looks could kill, you'd be dead by now Kennedy."
Leon grimaced slightly at the thought.
Jill sighed. "I just hope the baby doesn't get Chris's temper." That caught Leon's attention. "Baby? What baby? Jill, are you pregnant?" He asked her. She smiled and nodded. "Four months along to be exact."
He smiled. "Congratulations."
"Thank you, Leon. So, have you seen Claire?" She asked him. He nodded. "Yeah. I had breakfast with her this morning. She seems better. I just hope we can repair our relationship again. I feel like things are never gonna be the same again."
'And boy am I right...'
Tiffany, who couldn't help but eavesdrop jumped into the conversation. "You never know. But you are right, things will never be the same again."
Leon's eyes widened. "Jill, you told her!" Jill shook her head. "I didn't, I swear."
Tiffany chuckled. "Don't worry about it. This wont get out. I know because Chris was mumbling it all angry-like and what not. And Leon, you don't give Claire enough credit. She's a tough girl. If anyone can bounce back from something like this it's you two."
"You really think so Tiff?" He asked her. She nodded. "Absolutely. Just give it some time, alright cowboy?"
Leon smiled a bit. "Thank you."
She nodded. "Yeah yeah, whatever." Leon left. Tiffany sighed and turned to Claire. "Won't be long till those two realize how they feel about eachother and finally get together." She said.
Jill was a little surprised that Tiffany had said that. "You really think so?"
Tiffany nodded. "I've been waiting for something like this to happen for a long time. They look good together. I wonder why they don't see it."
Ada was sitting on her couch in her living room trying to think of what to do. After she had explained everything to her boss, he had told her to do something she knew she was going to do from the very beginning. And she was fine with it at first. But now...
"I have to break up with Leon..." She said quietly to herself. Tears started to form in her eyes and she tried her best to blink them away.
"I shouldn't be doing this. I've done stuff like this before with other guys. This should be a piece of cake. I shouldn't feel sad or empty." Ada sighed. "Who am I kidding? I've let my job get too personal with this one..."
"I've fallen for him."
Her phone started ringing. She got up and went to answer it. "Hello?"
"Hey Ada, it's Steve. I'm really sorry about today."
"Oh no no. Don't. It's perfectly fine." She said.
"I feel like I owe you an explanation. Meet me at the park. Is that alright?"
"Yeah. I'll be there in a few." Ada hung up and got her coat and left.
When she got there, Steve was already there. He smiled at her. "I'm glad you came." He said. Ada smiled back at him. "So what's this big explanation?" She asked.
They both sat down and Steve explained. "Claire was my girlfriend. We broke up recently. I don't really know why she came today."
Ada nodded. "Do you mind me asking why you two broke up?"
"I guess I don't. When I came home early from a business trip to surprise her, I came home to find that she had slept with her friend."
Ada was really surprised. She never thought Claire would be that kind of girl. "Really? Claire did that?" She asked him.
Steve nodded. "Yeah, you seem surprised."
"U-uh... yes. She just... didn't seem like the type of girl that would do that. Who was the friend?"
"Her best friend, Leon."
Ada's eyes widened. "Did you say... Leon?"
He nodded. "Yeah, why? Is something wrong?" He asked her. Ada slowly shook her head. "N-no... nothing's wrong." She mumbled. "Are you sure?" He asked.
She nodded. "Positive. I have to go. I'll see you later." Ada got up and started walking.
"Ada wait!"
Ada turned around. "Ada. I really like hanging out with you." He smiled. That made her smile a bit. "Thank you. I like hanging out with you too."
Leon was at his place thinking. He didn't know what to do. He had an amazing girlfriend who he could see himself with for a long time. But... he also had a best friend whom he was possibly falling for.
A few minutes later, he heard knocking on his door. He opened it up and saw Ada. She looked like she had been crying. "Ada, hey. What's wrong?"
"We need to talk."
Leon knew this wasn't going to be good. Usually when a woman says that, it never is. Ada went and sat down. Leon sat down next to her.
"Leon... is there anything you need to tell me?" Ada asked him. He was confused. He thought she was the one who needed to tell him something. "Umm... like what?"
"I don't know. Something that happened between you and someone." She said. Leon's eyes widened. He knew where this was going.
Ada lowered her head. "I know you slept with Claire..."
"Baby, let me explain. It's not what you think, and how did you find out?" He said. She got up. "Does it matter? Someone told me... but it wasn't you. Why wasn't it? Why didn't you tell me Leon?" She asked him.
"I didn't know how to tell you without looking-"
"Guilty?" Ada said finishing his sentence. "Y-yes." He said. "Ada, it was an accident. We got drunk. I didn't tell you because I didn't know how." Leon got up and put his hands on her shoulders. "It really was a mistake."
"I love you Ada."
Leon just realized what he had said. He hasn't said that to a woman in a really long time. It just sortf of slipped out. He didn't know whether he meant it or not.
'I'm pretty sure I do mean it. Yet... Claire is all I think about.'
"I love you too Leon." She smiled and kissed him. Then they ended up in the bedroom.
Claire was at her place doing some research until her doorbell rang. She opened it and was surprised to see Rebecca there.
"Hey, Rebecca, what are you doing here?"
"I got the information on Ada you wanted. I thought I should give it to you in person. Because what I've got on her... is big." Rebecca got a folder out of her bag filled with lots of papers and handed it to Claire.
Claire sat down and started reading the file. She was surprised. "Rebecca... is this really... ?"
Rebecca sat across from her. "It is."
Claire got up and took the folder with her. She got her car keys. Rebecca went with her. "Claire, what are you going to do?"
"Leon needs to see this Rebecca. She's been using him this whole time!"
Claire drove over to his place. She and Rebecca were outside his door. Claire knocked. A few seconds later Leon opened it.
"Claire, what are you doing here?"
She noticed Leon was only wearing pants. "Umm... is this a bad time?" She asked him.
Leon shook his head. "Nope. Rebecca! Hey, I haven't seen you in quite a while Ms. Busy."
Rebecca smiled at him. "It's great to see you Leon."
"Leon... the reason I came here is to tell you..." Claire began.
"Whose at the door Leon?"
Claire stopped. "Is someone there with you Leon?" She asked. Before he answered, Ada came and wrapped her arms around his waist. She was wearing his shirt.
"Hi Claire. What brings you here?" Ada asked her. Claire didn't know what to say. "N- nothing... Umm... sorry to have disturbed you. I'll be going now."
"Wait, Claire, didn't you something to tell me?" Leon asked her. She shook her head. "It's not important." Claire and Rebecca left. They got in the car.
Rebecca looked at Claire. "Why didn't you tell him?"
"I don't know Becs. Something came over me. I couldn't talk. I couldn't breathe..." She said as she gripped the steering wheel.
"Was that something that came over you jealousy?" Rebecca asked her.
"Why would I be jealous?" Claire asked.
"Maybe because you love him."
Woo-hoo! Finally updated! Again, I'm really sorry!
