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.

Instant Driver

Although Michael was well hidden from Zoey and her driver, Zoey can still sense that someone was lurking behind her. It actually creeps her out but she decided to keep it to herself because she doesn't want everyone she knew to worry about her instincts. It may or may not be true that is why she thought that she shouldn't make it as a big deal.

One day, before Nickel goes back home, Zoey messaged her friend, Alfie, and tried to ask him if he's free to drive her home. Her hired driver suddenly fell ill after drinking spoiled milk last night. Even though it is okay for her to take a cab, she still has a weird feeling about her surroundings.

"Alfie, are you busy today?"

"Zoey! Wow! You still remembered me?" Alfie joked. Ever since he heard that Zoey has a new boyfriend he tried to distance himself from Zoey.

"What the hell are you saying? Of course, I remember you, idiot!" Zoey is still clueless about his feeling for her. Zoey treated Alfie as her brother since they were young. Like she found a twin brother in Alfie, a slightly dumb and sweet twin brother.

"As if! What do you want?" Despite having his heartbroken from her sudden relationship he cannot keep distancing himself. Anyway, he is just only one moving on, Zoey doesn't know his feeling so there is no friendship that got ruined.

"Can you drive me to work?" Zoey excitedly said her intention to Alfie like she was expecting him not to reject her.

"Did you live under a rock? There is a so-called Grab or cabs, Zoekella."

"I know but … okay, never mind! If you are busy or not, I'll just book a cab for myself." Zoey was about to say goodbye when Alfie told her to wait inside her lobby.

Michael, on the other hand, was waiting for her to go out of her building. He hasn't seen her driver's car anywhere. And with that thought, Michael planned to appear in front of her and tried to offer her a ride to the office. Given that she doesn't know how to drive or that it is already rush hour for her to book or hail any cabs.

Alfie entered the compound at the east playground area; there he saw one familiar car. He tried to check who owns it but due to its heavy tinted windows, Alfie cannot see a thing.

"MKC990? I think I already saw that." Alfie said to himself and continued driving his way into Zoey's building.

He honked two times and then Zoey appeared beside his passenger seat.

"Jeez, what are you driving? A funeral car?" and she goes, she just called me twenty minutes ago and he tried to fly from his condo to hers that were just his thoughts. Afraid of Zoey's mighty slaps that is why he decided to keep it within himself.

"Yeah! This is a funeral car hop in and I will drive you to your final destination." He answered back.

"The heck! Knock on wood! I still want to live!" Zoey knocks her fist to Alfie's head as if it is the wood she's been looking for.

"Where's your boyfriend by the way? Why don't you disturb him instead of bothering me?" Alfie broke the silence inside the car. Zoey was too focused on her phone and forgot his presence.

"Nickel? He's in a convention right now. That's the reason why I'm disturbing your very existence. Hahahaha!"

Zoey put her phone down. "He actually hired a driver for me but my driver suddenly fell ill."

"I see."

"I also want to hail or book a cab but since Nickel left, I felt that someone is following me from day and night." Zoey shared her feelings to one of her close friends. Alfie, on the other hand, crumpled his brows and looked at her through the rearview mirror.

"Have you found out who it is?" He asked.

"Nope, I'm finding who it is."

The two reached ASC building and before Zoey open the door out, "call me when you're out or wherever you will go and I will drive for you." Worried about his friend's safety, Alfie canceled his entire meeting for today just to be free once Zoey calls him out.

Zoey flashed a sweet smile to thank him.
