"Hey! Why did you undress?" I said without glancing at him, only to perceive his genuine and humorous laugh. 
"What happened to you? Why do you look so scared? Oh come on, don't you dare think nasty of me". Again, with his joyful and teasing laughter. 
I just shut my mouth and ignored him. I focused my glare on the floor, shivering cold in my sopping wet dress. 
"Didn’t you say you wanted to stay for a  while, and that you don't want to go home yet? It's not good for you to stay in your soaked dress for very long. I'm serious, and I don't want you to get hypothermia. So, you better slip off that gown and hang it on the railing to dry a little. Doesn't it feel heavy?" He looks serious, delivering his point. 
He's probably right, but that seems uncomfortable. Disrobing in front of Ziggy while ogling over his naked body, it feels so awkward to me. 
He is my best friend, my hero and if there is something that is most important in my life, it is to not lose him. I tried hard not to fall in love with him because they say relationships are complicated, and being in love with your best friend and failing hurts double time. What if it's too late for me to realize that he is more than just a best friend, but really my first and only true love?

My 3 in 1

I stormed out of the restaurant fast enough that Val has to keep up my pace until we reached the elevator. I'm glad, though, that there's no other passenger in that elevator, that it's just Val and me. I can have a chance to storm out and let out what's inside my heavy heart.

"I just can't take it anymore. I had believed Ziggy all this time. I trusted him more than anybody else." I grumbled at Val. I couldn't care less about his reaction this time.

"I'm sorry Cloe, I didn't expect it as well because all I thought that Ziggy really loves you, but maybe he actually does. Maybe, I've had some valid reason why he didn't tell you about it." Val tried to explain to me maybe he thought that I could easily be persuaded. Well, maybe I used to, but I'm not sure about it this time.
