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.

"And as the Director of ASC, you allowed that to happen?" Leo couldn't understand if Nickel doesn't like his cousin, why is he keeping him inside ASC?

"You already said it, I'm just a mere Director. The order came from above, so I cannot say no to all their commands. Wait until I build my own company."

"Yeah, you're right. But still, how did he even convinced his company to assign him? He really is getting into my system. I wanted to beat the hell out of him. Shane and I should still be in our lovey-dovey and honeymoon stage but thanks to him, Godzilla was born out of my wife." Nickel thinks that married life is hard thanks to Leo's first-hand experiences.

"Is it all?" Nickel was pertaining to the stories Zoey shared to Shane.

"Well, apparently thanks to you. I still have a good shot on my wife. I've heard that you are helping or saving Zoey from Michael. Is that true?" with his teasing tone Nickel turned red because he thought he is talking about the kiss. He remembered that precious and first kiss they shared.

Leo who was looking at him slightly panicked because of his sudden change of color. "Are you still burning?" although he didn't rush towards him, his voice still conveys his worries.

"Nope, I'm fine." Nickel set aside these thoughts and continue, "you can say it that way. It just so happen that I am always around whenever Michael is trying to mess with her. Couldn't your cousin get the message that Zoey doesn't like him? He's getting worse and worst day by day."

"Really! It happened that you are just around? Aren't you spying with them or should I say with Zoey?" Leo thinks that it should be the time that he starts fishing information from his best friend. Well, he will be useful too, doesn't he know that? He is her best friend's husband.

"Why would I waste my time to spy that cockroach?" Nickel replied.

Leo finished his light dish and set it on the dining table. He assisted Nickel to the table and help him eat his probably first real meal.

And because of his hunger Nickel eat a spoonful arrozcaldo causing him to burn his tongue. Leo, who sit in front of him, laugh out loud because of his negligence. "Hungry much?" he teasingly asked.

"You don't know how hungry I am. So shut up!"

Leo let Nickel eat peacefully before he starts interrogating him.

"Nickel, we have known each other for almost 3 decades, right?"

Nickel nod his head while devouring the food in front of him.

"And that we are already familiar with each other's personalities and mannerisms, right?"

Nickel once again nod to answer him without looking his way.

"You know that I know how bad your lying skills, right? And you still think that you can convince me that it was just a coincidence? You fucking hate helping people."

Nickel choked from his food when he realized that he cannot lie anymore to Leo.

Leo nonchalantly gave Nickel another glass of water. "Take it easy." He said.

"You know what? As much as possible you will remove yourself to these kinds of situations but now, it seems like my friend has changed a lot. Is this what Montana did to you? Or is this all because of Zoey?" Leo is still trying to dig in.

Nickel became fully aware that this issue doesn't hide any longer inside his closet so gave up and looked at him seriously and said yes it is because of Zoey.

"I knew it," Leo remarked and clapped his hands. It was like a eureka moment for him.

"How come did you know it?"

"I saw it on how you look at her, how you assist her and by the way you talk to you during my wedding.

At first, I thought maybe it was just a usual gesture of yours but I also remembered that you hated being near to any girls except, of course, your mom.

And I also recalled the girl you kept on mentioning when you were still studying and the girl at your work at Montana.

It was like a connecting the dots game.

You son of a bitch, oh! I'm sorry Auntie." Leo did a sign of a cross to respect and apologize to Nickel's mom.

"So tell me? Am I right?" his doe-y eyes turned chinky.

Leaving him another no redemption moment, Nickel nods his head then instantly turned red.

How foolish is he to forget that Leo knows everything about him that he was an open book to his friend.

"I may say that you are not a slow-witted person like you used to be." At least with this sarcasm, Nickel can somehow redeem himself.

"If only I was allowed to pursue my dream in becoming a psychologist, I probably used you as my subject in my theses." He replied.

"So tell me more, Mr. Lover boy!"
