Let Him Love You First

After leaving everything behind, Zoey needs to go home and face all she have left. She thought time can heal all wounds but after reuniting with her friends, she has to face her mortal nemesis as well as her ex boyfriend. Little did she know that there is a guy who is watching her from a far that will help her mend her shuttered heart. --- To: America Message: You know what? If you thought that Zoey was wrong for treating you badly, wouldn't it be better for the two of you to sit down, relax and talk? Remember that you've been friends since childhood. Reply: Earl it's easy to say but hard to do. Yes! We've been considering each other as best of friends but why did she decide to believe other people's hearsay? For their seven years of friendship, Zoey could say that America is a hard-headed person. Zoey pretended to be someone just to have a decent conversation with her. All she wanted was to know the truth. It started when one of her classmates saw both America and Michael, Zoey's boyfriend, at the mall. At first, when she heard about this, she thought that what was the deal of seeing them? What if they were buying some stuff together? She naïvely thought that it would be better than her best friend was on good terms with her boyfriend. In that way, she can help and understand them if they were fighting. But all of those thoughts disappeared in an instance when her classmate showed her a picture wherein they caught in the act of kissing and holding each other's hands while buying Cinema Tickets. She dialed America's phone number and tried to ask where she was last weekend when someone saw them together. America answered her calmly, "I was at home sleeping. Why? You knew that Mom was mad at me, and I grounded and forbad going outside last weekend, right?" After she had heard her reply, she thought that her response was like a big slap on her face; she knew that she was lying because her friend's evidence was authentic. The photo has a date on it, and it was impossible for anyone to edit or change the said photo because she used a film camera. Zoey thought of it before she called Michael and asked the same question. After Michael had answered her phone call and heard her question, his forehead instantly covered with cold sweat. Did Zoey found out about them? He tried to calm himself first before answering, "Babe I've told you that Dad was still mad at me and ordered me to stay at home and that was the reason I couldn't pick you up after your ballet lesson." Little did he know that his answer was exactly the same as what America has said to Zoey? Zoey started to have a doubt about them. After that week, Zoey found more about their illicit romance. They indeed are having an affair behind her. When most of her friends tried to convince to break it up with him, Zoey finally decided to do it. She then again called and asked him to meet her at the park near our village. When he arrived she immediately said, "Mike, let's end this." At that moment, she was already shredding her tears as she was asking him to end their relationship. Mike wanted to hold her hand but before he even had the chance to grab her left hand Zoey already stepped backward to avoid him. "Z I'm sorry. I know I'm wrong. I know I wronged you but please don't this to me. I was tempted, I seduced. I don't like nor love America. Babe, please don't say that." Who would have thought that Michael has the audacity to say that? Zoey was confused about what to believe; she didn't know if Michael was telling the truth or if it was another set of lies. But before she turned around and leaves, she took aback when she saw him kneeling and crying on the ground while asking for her forgiveness. She took them back her words.

"Should I?"

Zoey entered the bathroom with great fear. Fear that Nickel fainted before her, fear that he probably hurt himself or worst in her case is to see him naked.

She pulled the bathroom curtain and saw Nickel sitting on the ground. "Thank God!" She whispered to herself. Zoey was thanking that Nickel didn't encounter an accident and that he was still wearing his boxer shorts to protect that precious part of his body from her prying eyes. Thank God that she can still preserve her innocence and avoid polluting her mind.

Before anything else, Zoey turned off the shower and covered Nickel with a dry towel. He fainted while washing his hair that is why there are still some bubbles on his head that wasn't removed by the flowing water from the shower.

Zoey removed the towels from him and pulled the bidet from the toilet side and used it to wash away the remaining bubbles from him. She dries him up and checks his temperature once again. "What kind of stupidity entered your mind?" She was scolding the fainted guy in front of him. "You know that you're sick but you still wish to take a bath. I didn't even remark you're awful smell when you come near me because I know you hate being teased from being dirty." Zoey took another set of towels to dry him up.

Zoey tried to wake him up by slightly slapping his cheek and calling his name but with all her effort the man is still unconscious.

"Oh my God! How will I am going to carry you out here." Zoey tried lofting his torso but because of his body build and weight, it was two times harder for her than carrying a sack of rice. "AAAAA! You're so heavy!" she exclaimed.

Zoey is already rocking her brain out on how she will be able to move him from one place to another. She tried dragging his body like a corpse on the floor but it didn't work, she even tried waking him up but no effect. She even scanned her phone to ask help from anyone, but she also dismissed it because it will take time for that person to come and help her.

Zoey was left with nothing in her mind until she thought that using the bed sheet as a tool to drag him out of the bathroom. Instead of dragging and carrying his body out, Zoey thinks that sliding him using the sheets would be better.

She successfully accomplished her mission but the next problem would be is that how is she going to carry him over the bed. "My goodness! What is this place I went in?" She cupped her forehead and said this to herself.

Zoey feels awkward to carry him, or should I say hug him while he is half naked and unconscious at this time.

Although she was forbidden to carry heavy things due to her scoliosis, Zoey tried her very best to lift his body and rolling him up to a comfortable position. "Why is it I feel that I become you, instant nanny?" She asked the unconscious man.

Before anything less, Zoey blow-dried his hair because it may cause a headache for him later. She grew up with a belief that you are not allowed to sleep with your wet hair because it will a headache later and destroy your eyesight. Although she is not believing in any superstitions passed to her, it will not cause her anything to follow right?

Zoey suddenly remembered her dish inside the kitchen. "Oh! Sad! I prepared too much for nothing." She touched his forehead and see if his temperature is building up or not.

When she felt that his body's temperature is gradually lowering she felt relieved but then Nickel started shivering when Zoey put her under his blanket.

The lady panicked from his shivers and start adding layers of blankets to him.

Nickel was exposed to water for a long time that is why he is having shivers when Zoey brought him to his bedroom where his air-condition is at 18°.

If Zick was there with her, he might hit his sister's head again with a loud bang for being too stupid.

Nickel continues shivering before Zoey realized that his room is in low temperature to start with. "Shit! It is because it is cold here! Why would I forgot." In behalf of her brother, Zoey already hit herself.

Zoey has a poor nursing skill, she didn't know what to do once someone before her is experiencing something. "I think I should wake him up. So he can drink medicine."

"But she deeply unconscious. What should I do."

Zoey suddenly remembered the scenes in all the movies she had watched when one of the characters is shivering and there is no other source of heat that would stabilize their body.

"Should I?"
