Always You

Chapter 9

"Are you not going to eat that?" It was Mira's voice snapping me out from reality.

I was just staring at my breakfast.

"Is that a heart?" Mira inquired and I finally touched the food, reforming the heart.

"It isn't, just an egg. Hmmm..." I said trying to sound busy with my food.

"Lily, you can fool other people but not me!" Mira said with laser eyes.

"What do you mean?" I asked sounding not interested at all.

"The exam was wrecking my brain but not what I saw this morning. You were kissing inside the car!" She said making me blushed and embarrassed.

The mere word 'kissing' made my face hot even if it's not true.

"Mira you saw it wrong! We're not kissing!" I said loudly earning some stares in our way.

"And why are blushing like a ripe tomato?"

"I am not!"

"You are!" She insisted and the more I feel my face burning.

"I told you we were not kissing. I did not kiss James and James did not kiss me!"

"James? Was that James? Your first love? Oh my god, no wonder you fall for him. He is such a hottie! And how on earth I didn't know he's here? And where is he staying? Did you share the same house? Oh my god, I can't believe you are not telling me this!" Mira's unbelievable reaction.

"Oh my god," mimicking her, "can you not ask me as if it's the end of the world?"

"Then answer me one by one!" She demanded.

"Alright, but let me finish my food," I said and I smiled every bite of it.

"Oh girl, what will you do for a month?" Mira asked with concern on her face.

"I don't know."

"So, what do you feel, now that you see him again?" She inquired.

"It gotten worse, I think."

Mira chuckled.

"Girl, you don't use worse for love but intense!" Mira teased.

"And I'm really afraid. He will be here in a month and after that, he will leave me again just like he did ten years ago." I said sadly.

"This time is different, you know better than that right? You were young back then, you can't make your own decisions."

"Mira you sound like an experienced adult."

"Did I? Why won't you give him a chance, Lily?"

"He is not asking, I mean we are not discussing anything." My answer.

"Because you already pushed him before he can even talk about it."

"What if we don't feel the same? What if, it's only me who has this feeling?" I asked.

"Oh girl, that I can't answer." She looked at me with sincerity.

Mira Sol is someone dear to me, my best friend. I'm happy I have one to confide with.

"Can we talk about other things?" I asked about changing the topic.

"Oh yeah! Before I forgot, Drake will get my project paper I left in your room. Remember when we had our overnight?"

"Why Drake of all people?" I asked in irritation.

"Girl, isn't the best timing to check Jame's reaction?" Mira smiled evilly.

"Oh Mira, forget about it! I don't like that Drake ever! You know that right?"

"Of course, you are as loyal as f**k!"

"Mira your mouth!" And pinched her on the process.

"Just let Drake, okay? I'm doing something else tonight and you know he is my partner on that project. I'm giving him his part, besides James is there to protect you if he does something not good."

"I'll kick Drake Rivers' balls before he even knows it," I said and Mira just laughed.

"Oh girl, did you realize you just said 'balls' ?" Mira teased me and we both end up laughing.
