"I thought we already are, " teased Tonette as she smiled widely. "Does this mean... It's official?"
Roger nodded. "Yes, I'm making it official today."
"But... what about... him?" and she couldn't hide the hurt that came with the query.
"He's no one... We're not serious," he said, lowering his gaze. He knew in himself that somehow he had liked Kenneth and had once wanted to have him for himself but then, seeing Tonette and getting to know her, he knew he wanted her more than him now.
She was worth taking the risk. He just wished she would see his sincerity. But he knew she would not trust him completely if he won't be honest with her. So though it was a risk, he decided to come clean to her. Tell her everything.
Tonette smiled simply. Did she have to be grateful that he feels nothing for that guy? That he chose her over him when he had the chance to run away and leave her last night? She was confused.
