"Who was that guy?" he asked.

"His name's Derik. New friend of mine." I shrugged as we sat on a bench near the pool. 

"What kind of friend?" this time, I looked at him as he stared at the sky.

"Uh, none of your business." I rolled my eyes as I started to get annoyed when he's asking these things.

"I missed you." he muttered.

Until We Meet Again...

Ethan and I arrived at my house. We used my car instead since he insisted that it is best for me to have my car and he's just gonna get his tomorrow morning. I kept on ignoring the awkward atmosphere surrounding because I don't want it to be awkward since I invited him to my house.


"Make yourself at home. I'm just gonna go get the first aid kit." I gently smiled and quickly ran towards the bathroom to get the kit. As soon as I have it with me, I ran to the living room as I saw him sitting and observing around. 


"I see you've still got the pillows I got." he smiled as I noticed the minimalist pillows he got me for Christmas.


"It's a waste to throw them out." I simply shrug and sat beside him. I started to treat his wounds but I was uncomfortable since I am keeping in mind that this is as close as I could get. He gently faced himself fully towards me and pulled me gently for an easy access. I gulped and ignored the butterflies in my stomach. It was silence that surrounds us but it was rather a comfortable silence. That's when I noticed that his hands are still holding my waist and what shocked me was he suddenly pulled me even more. There, our lips touched. The lips that I have been longing these past few weeks. He deepened the kiss as I wrapped my arms around his neck. 


This is wrong. I mentally said as I pushed him away.


"You have a girlfriend. This is so wrong." I furrowed my brows and tried not to make eye contact with him.


"She's not a girlfriend to me. It's more like business." He sighed, leaving me confused.


"Fiona is a set-up. My parents forced me to date her because they promised their stupid business partner. I was not able to explain it to you because they threatened me that they'll shut down your business. I'm sorry, Audrey." He leaned his head on my shoulder. Again, leaving me confused. Fiona, his girlfriend, was just a set-up? "I know what happened to you these past few weeks after I broke up with you. Jack has been reporting it to me whenever Emily will tell him about you. If you're hurting, I am too." He said and looked into my eyes. I noticed his eyes got teary and I was this close to cry too. 


I cupped my hands on his face and he focused his eyes on me. "You have no damn idea how badly I am missing you." I giggled.


"Same here." he chuckled as he gave me a hug. A hug that I am longing for, too. He decided to spend the night since it was already late. Here we are, in my bedroom, cuddling.
