ZYAIR'S POINT OF VIEW
"So maybe... maybe we can try. Let's just see if we're compatible with each other."
Silence stirred between the two of us. I'm lost for words to reply. I know I should reject her, because I have Florence now. But I don't know how can I do that without hurting her feelings- if that's even possible.
I don't like Francine anymore. We can still be friends, that is certain, but to be more than that? to be lovers? It's next impossible. I can't love anyone but Florence. However, that doesn't mean I can be insensitive. I should be careful with the words that I'm going to use.
I heaved out a sigh. "We can't, France. I'm sorry," I said, my voice almost a whisper.
She laughs bitterly. "Why? Do you have a girlfriend? Someone already owns your heart?"
