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.

Goodbye Kiss

Zoey stayed there while Nickel prepares himself for his one-week convention. She tried to kill her time waiting by reading one of the piled books on his coffee table. Zoey wanted to take the remaining time with him because she knew for sure that she will be going to miss this man for a week. Since the day he confessed his feeling to her, there was no day that they didn't see each other. They were like each other's leeches because they tried to stay and be stuck with each other. But of course, duty calls. Nickel needs to participate in this convention for ASC.

"Babe, I need help." Nickel calls for help inside in his room.

Zoey put down the book she was reading and went to his room. She knocks thrice before opening the door and asked, "What's the problem?" Nickel stood in front of the mirror while holding two ties in both of his hands. "I can't decide which one is better. Which one do you think will match my suit?" he asked.

Although these kinds of matters were easy for him to decide, Nickel wanted to give the pleasure to Zoey to mix and match his attire. In which she loves to do.

"I think this peach one is better for today." She replied while holding her chin on her hand like a detective investigating a crime. Nickel saw the glow in her eyes once he asked her suggestion about his today's ties.

Zoey took the peach tie on his hand and see it for her self if it will truly match his suit. She placed both of it in front of Nickel and tried to contrast, which is better.

"I like the peach one."

"Okay, I will use the peach tie." Nickel wore it swiftly in front of the mirror. Zoey watched his reflection on the mirror and got mesmerized by this technique. "I haven't seen that kind of style before." She said.

"I watched it on a clip before and tried to learn it. I thought that using the standard tie tying is too boring for me. HAHAHA!"

As promised Zoey send him off at the airport with his suitcase and Happy. She brought Happy with her because that little dog couldn't stop crying when she saw Nickel pulling his suitcase around after Zoey took her bag in his apartment. Seems like this little dog knows that her father will go somewhere far. Nickel couldn't hold his adoration to Happy so he told Zoey to bring her with along for Zoey to have a companion once he boards his flight.

And because she didn't know how to drive a car they took a cab to the airport.

"I like this." Nickel suddenly blurts out.

Zoey seems to understand his words and leans her body to Nickel at the backseat of the cab. The driver doesn't have a choice but to indulge himself to their public PDAs.

Once they reached the airport, Nickel checked in his luggage. Although they still have time Zoey pushed him to go and wait inside.

"It's okay. I'm fine." She reassured him. "Happy and I will be fine while you're not around, right Happy?"

As he looks at her face a sudden realization accrues him. Being a COO is only good for title bearing but the responsibilities and duties attached to it aren't as pleasant as its title. Nickel doesn't want to leave Zoey behind but as everyone says "duty calls".

Of course, he still has this unexplainable worry that something might happen while he is not around. He is not sure if it is an instinct or just paranoia because of Michael and that flash drive incident.

"Baby, I'm fine. You look like you'll be out for good, it is just a week." Zoey pinched his cheek while crinkling her nose.

"Update everything to me. That's an order." He said and then kissed Zoey on her lips.

Little did they know that someone saw that?

Zoey went back to Serenity; she stayed there from the whole weekend binge-watching.

Rick continues investigating Zoey's life and became more dedicated in planning the perfect revenge for his daughter. Rick accidentally saw all the bruises on America's body and had a thought that his daughter, from being a drunkard now starts hurting herself just to have Michael's attention.

If it wasn't for America, Rick already snapped out Michael's neck for ignoring his beautiful daughter and wasting his time following Zoey like a dog every time he sees her in ASC.

All he wanted to do was to dispose of everyone blocking America's happiness.
