A Gamble Of Love

"We were barely nineteen when we first discussed 'love. Do you remember what you said?", Noel questioned AJ as he sipped the beer.

AJ did not reply to this question as he was still focused on the shocking declaration that Noel had made. Noel was in love with Amy? How had he not seen that? 

Noel smiled as he said," It seems that I have finally shocked you. I couldn't hide my identity from you but I hid this successfully."

"Life's too short for liars and cowards Noel. In wanting to use Amy to get back at me, you are lying to yourself and taking a coward's way out." AJ replied shortly, refusing to look at Noel.
