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.

"Why are you so eager to finish it and hang his call? I haven't spoken to you for a month and this how you pay me for all the worries that you've caused me?"

Nickel was in the middle of an unexpected video conference from his former supervisor in Montana. Despite the time difference Vernon, his former manager used his sleeping time to call and ask what the hell is happening to him.

"Vernon, I'm fine. You see I'm all fine!" Nickel showed his torso to him and flexes his biceps to indicate that his stronger than before. "This body can still beat your ass up." He added.

Vernon on the other line laughs out loud. He remembered that time when they were celebrating and drink all night. He suddenly asked Nickel for an arm wrestling but the poor Vernon underestimated the strength that his little Nickel had.

*flashback*

"Asshole come here!" Vernon called the newly hired Nickel. Nickel was a tall and a bit skinny fresh graduate at that time. Like a typical nerdy but with a face of an idol.

Nickel walked slowly with his head down and reached Vernon's table. Vernon was a notorious bully to newly hired male employees. He liked to challenge them with arm wrestling. Although new hires were already oriented by the old hires regarding Vernon's practice, it was only Nickel who didn't show any fear of him.

Nickel sat down in front of Vernon and extended his arm to him, without Vernon saying his infamous words, "I can be your servant for a month only if you will against me. Deal?"

Seeing Nickel offering his arm to his made his laugh out loud. Other customers in that restaurant looked at their table and observe why he is laughing.

"So I guess you already knew about this? Okay, let's get it on."

Vernon and Nickel positioned themselves. While one of Vernon's colleague serves as a referee to them.

"After my count."

"One."

"Two."

"Three."

Usually, when Vernon challenged a strong one, he can last after three minutes of a tug of war of strength while ten seconds to those with lesser ability to beat him.

Before he challenged Nickel, he bet with his friends that he can beat him after two minutes.

After the referee said 'three', the two players exert their strength and fought with each other.

When Vernon was about to use all his force, a loud *tug* broke one table.

Everyone inside the restaurant stops and astonished to what had happened.

All the tables in that restaurant were made to a thick and strong wood. How would a loud *tug* break one table.

A moment of silence interrupted a happy and lively event. Until one of the new hired gasped when she noticed that the table that Nickel and Vernon used was destroyed.

Also, the boastful Vernon broke his arm due to the challenge while Nickel stood up and fix his coat as if nothing had happened.

Everyone was amazed at the strength Nickel showed, he earned overnight popularity within his department but also within the whole company.

Vernon was rushed to the nearest hospital to aid his arm. The owner wasn't mad when his precious table broke.

Actually, he was happy that there was a person that can beat this Vernon and made him a living embarrassment.

After that day, the arrogant Vernon changed to be a friendly version that we can see today. He became friends with Nickel, but never stepped aside from the role of a supervisor.

"Okay! I believe that you're fine there. But what's with the ruckus of finishing everything today? You've been calling my secretary regarding this matter. Dude, may I remind you that we also need sleep!"

"I need to finish everything tonight. And I will be entertaining any calls from you later this night. I have an important matter to attend. I don't need you to disturb me."

"I can only grant your wish of you will tell me what you will do tonight. Are you going to hook up with a girl? Well, this one isn't your personality, but I don't know, are you going to kidnap a girl and make her your baby mama? Keep her on your basement and kill her afterward?" Nickel flinched his face and looked at his friend with disgust.

"Is it the Ted Bundy Vernon version talking or are those your inner desires? Fuck you, Vernon! I am meeting my future family tonight."

Vernon wanted to ask whose family it is but before he opened his mouth Nickel press the end call and his screen turned black in just a second.

A few seconds later, he received a message from his friend.

From: Nicanor

Message: I mean it! Don't disturb me tonight or else I'll kill you the next time that I'll see you.
