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.

"Seriously you did that? Wow! Too bold of you!" Nickel told him everything from the start he saw her at the airport, to the wedding reception, how she instantly promoted and based here in the Philippines as Accounting Officer and on how he tried all the means to stop Michael from lurking and persuading Zoey. And let's not forget how he kissed Zoey in front of his cousin.

"Fuck, dude! You're my hero! Did you know that when I stole a one kiss from Shane I received a hell of a slap and one kickball? Dude! Shit! You're fucking lucky Zoey didn't do something like that!" Leo was so amazed by his friend's boldness.

"It was out of my control, why I kissed her. I was already losing my patience to your cousin." Nickel was stopped in his mid-sentence when Leo interfere.

"Hahahaha! Now I know. Your flu wasn't because of the stress you had nor the weather change. It 'LOVE-NAT'. Bro, you have a lovenat because of the kiss you have shared. Hahahahaha!"

(AN: love-nat is wordplay for love-sick that Filipinos use. Fever in Tagalog is lagnat. Mixing it with love will mean fever due to lovesickness.)

(AN: is my explanation too difficult to understand? Send help!)

"HEP HEP HEP, ANOTHER THING! STOP CALLING HIM MY COUSIN. From now on, I will erase him to my family line and promote you as my official brother. Let's turn our friendship into the next level." Aside from giving his wife all the means to punish him, Leo made a decision that this man is the man that will save him from all the misery he may face if Michael will make Zoey cry again.

"Goodness! Leo! You sound too gay with that! If others will hear you, they will think that we are having a secret relationship here." Nickel cringes with Leo's own words. Well after analyzing what he had said he also felt disgusted with it.

"As I was saying, it was just an out of control moments when you're really annoyed with someone. I just want to show him that Zoey is not available for him but what can I say, slow-wittedness runs in your blood, bro."

"Wait for a second, are serious with Zoey, because if you don't. Please stay away from her. If Shane knows about it she may file a divorce because I'm acquainted with you and Michael. Geez! 'Bros before hoes' are their friendship motto."

"You think I will waste my nine years with someone I am not committed to being mine?" Nickel replied with an are-you-serious face.

"Well, after all, you're right." At the back of Leo's mind, he wanted to ask Nickel on how was it like to kiss someone you have been in love with, but he was too shy to utter a word. He thinks that Nickel will beat the hell out of him if he opens that topic.

"So what's your plan?" he asked instead.

"Plan for what?" he innocently asked. Nickel was already lost from all the topic Leo presented to him. One minute they are talking about his boldness, next is his cousin twice removed, now plan for what exactly is he talking about?

"Earth to Nickel! We are talking about Zoey, aren't we? So, I'm asking what is your next plan in making Zoey Mrs. Fuentes."

Actually, it always overwhelmed Nickel whenever he thinks that Zoey will be his future wife, the last Mrs. Fuentes in their family. And with his transparent facial reaction and expression, his face and ears easily turn red.

"What the fuck!? Why are your ears turning red? Are you imagining something dirty there?" It is one of Nickel's rare treat since he was a kid. If he is lying, his right ear will turn red, if he is embarrassed about something, his right ear will turn red.

But during their puberty stage, Leo discovered that when they are talking about something dirty or sexual, either because of the shows they are watching or the game they are playing or books they are reading. Nickel's ears instantly turn red. Not just a simple red but tomato red.

"Fuck dude! If this crusade is just your lust stop it. I'm telling you those four are not easy to deal with. They can make your life a living hell once you mess with one of them." Leo gave Nickel a fair warning.

"I'm not thinking dirty! I have a fever for god's sake!" His thoughts are not dirty but will turn into one if you are someone's wife or husband. You are matrimonially allowed to procreate. Same with what the bible says, go forth and multiply.

With these things in his mind, his ear becomes the reddest color he ever exhibited.

"Hold your horse, Nicanor Fuentes."

The two continue discussing Nickel's plan until Leo received a text message from his wife.

"My wife is looking for me. I guess, see you next time lover boy! Message me if you need anything else." Leo bids his goodbye.

"Yeah! Sure!"

"Love-nat usually last for five days. Maybe tomorrow you'll be fine." And then he leaves his room.

Nickel, on the other hand, after Leo was gone, he dialed the guards' office and informed him about his guest.
