[Lexie POV]
What time already, but Agatha still doesn't have a reply. I don't want to call for no reason. She might be astounded, but I'm her best friend who's just worried, so there's no malice.
I took another deep breath before pressing her name on my phone.
"H-hello. Agatha! Hmm, are you still at the party?"
Shit! She did not speak and just hung up. Was she angry? Did I disturb her? Is her fuck buddy with her now?
I was puzzled, got up from my bed, and walked like a fool. The guy caught in the act didn't know what to do. That's the feeling.
It can't be like this! I need to have Kayden's replacement. I go crazy when I'm single. Ahhh!! Its sucks.
A few moments later, I heard the main door slam. Suddenly my chest throbbed. Agatha came over! She's here! Yes! I won!
"Lexie! What happened?"
Agatha asked worriedly. My legs stepped extempore, approaching her. I cuddle, missing her like crazy even though we were together yesterday.
Realization suddenly slapped me for acting impulsively. I let go of the hug before it's too obvious.
"Because Kayden ..." I said softly, hesitantly. Is this a good excuse for wanting her?
"What did he do to you?! I will kill that guy!" Agatha's face was torn in anger, her palm clenched and slightly trembling.
"Hey! He didn't do anything. I-I'm just s-sad because..... I m-missed him."
I breathed a sigh of relief as I told my lie correctly.
My pride was trampled on because Kayden cheated on me, but that doesn't mean I went crazy. That's the only reason for my tears.
I don't want to be deceived as my father cheated on my mother. Fortunately, mom is now abroad, enjoying her life there.
"Don't be sad .. That will pass, too." she looked away from me, turning in the other direction.
"Do you have any food? I'm hungry. My tummy is full of alcohol. Do you want to eat out?" she spoke again.
"Hmm .. let's go outside." Act casually, I walked out of my room, peeking at my side to see if she did follow me.
[Agatha POV]
I missed the short-term happiness because I believed something had happened to Lexie, and then I just heard that she missed her cheating ex-boyfriend. Fuck!
Rather than noticing my irritation, I averted my gaze, pretending to be hungry, and asked her out. Alcohol was still all over me, and my head was pinching a bit. Coffee might help me out.
I go after her out of the room. Lexie is the only one who keeps doing this to me, but I let her. Why do I let her? The answer is I don't fucking know!
No matter what I do, I won't bother going to her right away. I'm a traitor to always putting her first.
Just one call from her twisted me.
When will be the day that she wants to see me because she wants to, not just because she has to?
I efface that false hope in my brain, and it's better to shatter it now than go deeper and can't handle it anymore.
"I have a shoot tomorrow afternoon. Can you take me and accompany me? If only you have nothing to do, but if you are busy, then It's fine." she asked when we were in the car. For me sounds like I have no choice. My soul can't refuse Lexie.
I know Kayden is no longer there to pick her up and accompany her everywhere, so now she is bothering me.
So frustrating. Lexie just needs you doesn't mean she wants you to stay in her life.
"Sure! I have nothing to do this week. I still have much time to update my novel."
Her lips landed on my cheeks. "Thank you, best friend!" perceiving that word made me irk. Agatha Nguyen is just a best friend to Lexie Lewis. That's bullshit.
Then why act like we a have a thing, call me in the middle of the night, cuddle me as if I'm stony, and kiss me out of nowhere. Is that just a best friend thing to her??
[Lexie POV]
I mustered up the courage first before asking her to accompany me. Fortunately, I had a reason to be with her. I don't want her to think anything weird.
I will savor every moment I can spend longer with her, for I have no boyfriend right now.
It will take longer to see her again once I get a boyfriend.
Why is need to have a reason to be with her when it is possible to even without it?
Agatha parked the car when we arrived. She came down first and then opened the door for me. I hate her for being too nice. Does she treat her other friends the same way?
Just to imagine, it makes me revolt inside. I should be the only one Agatha handles like that.
"What do you want to eat? Drink?" Agatha asked me as we sat down, and the waiter came over to hand over the menu.
"Mushroom Pasta?"
"Mushroom Pasta ..." we thought at the same time. My favorite is the creamy mushroom pasta done with coffee.
"With coffee?" She added. Sometimes I wonder if the other best friends are like this?
[Agatha POV]
I will make the most out of it, having her now while she does not have a boyfriend yet because probably I will be excluded once she's in a relationship again.
"How's the taste?"
"How is it?"
We once questioned each other. Is it just a coincidence, or its destined? We always have the same in mind. I hope we feel the same way too.
My chest thumps every time I'm with her. There's a strange gratification I don't get from the women I fuck.
Her smile was killing me.
Her beauty is captivating.I won't get tired of looking at her forever."Hmm. Can you stay home while I'm in the process of moving on?"
Fuck!! What did she just say?????
[Lexie POV] I was suddenly excited when something entered my mind. Right! There is a way for me to be with her more. "Hmm. Can you stay home while I'm in the process of moving on?" I gasped as she was busy sipping her pasta. Is she going to disagree? Isn't moving on the process a good reason? When a person's heart hurts like this, isn't it often her close friend who sympathizes? I was nervous when Agatha didn't respond right away, but I was expecting inside. "Are you sure?" was her only retaliation. Do I look unsure of what I'm saying? Why is that her assumption? "Of course, I'm sure. Don't you want to?" I want to evaporate from my seat, realizing I should not dare to invite her to my place to stay. Maybe that's what she's thinking too. It's not possible! "It's fine if you are preoccupied." "No! I'm okay with it. When do you want me to come over?" overjoy flowed as Agatha consented and did not give malice. "Alright!" Unexpectedly I spit out with ecstasy. [Agatha POV] I can
[Narrator]Agatha went out that night not to meet her fuck buddy but to avoid temptation.If she stays at Lexie's house for a long time, she might rape her in no time and lose their friendship, even the girl.[Agatha POV]I inhaled as I gulped my drink. I wonder how I got into this situation? And how can I get away?Isn't she able to move on by herself and still need me by her side ?? Couldn't she reconsider what I might feel? But how? she doesn't know it either.Fuck !!"Bartender! Another one, please!" I groaned after I ran out of the drink.I lit a cigarette and smoked. Dozen of loads release out in my chest with each puff.Many women are fascinated by me, but why am I still obsessed with Lexie? She's straight and fuzzy than the ditch that she'll notice me.I have nothing against her boyfriends.[Lexie POV]I can't count how many rounds I've been in bed. Isn't she planning to go home yet? What time is it!Annoying! It looks like Agatha just brought her belongings, but she has no in
"Someone? But who?" I asked, checking if she was referring to a woman or a man. Perhaps she might remember she's kissing me."It doesn't matter, anyway. Can you come with me?" Now is the canceled shoot of Lexie, so even if I don't want to, I have no choice but to scrap my plans and go with her.After we had breakfast, we headed to the venue. As usual, Lexie's line will be the last one to take, so we have to wait for her turn.I left Lexie in the dressing room while having her make-up when I got bored. A man approached and spoke to me."Are you an artist here too? It seems like I just saw you now."Do I look an artist in his eyes? Is that a compliment?"No, I'm not. I just accompany my best friend. She's the actress." He smiled and then stared at me in a meaningful way. I ignored it and started to disappear, but He managed to grab my hand. "I'm Maison, and you are?" Now I started to perceive what he was up to, and I grinned in annoyance for touching my hand. "I'm not interested!" I s
[LEXIE LEWIS] When I left the room, Agatha was not there. For sure, she's mad at me, but it's annoying to see someone who almost raped you. What's even more painful is that you trust and love him. I sighed and then went to the kitchen. I opened the refrigerator and fetched cold water to drink. I won't bring Agatha on the set again. Maybe she and Maison's paths will cross again. I know that guy. He won't stop until he gets what he wants. I returned to the room to pick up my phone and call Agatha, but I was surprised when a woman answered it. That means she's not with her boyfriend. What time can she come home so I can cook dinner? If she comes home in the morning again, I won't cook anymore. It will only get spoiled and thrown into the trash. Since I could do nothing, I thought of tampering with my best friend's laptop. Our picture immediately popped up in front of me. I smiled there. I also noticed the draft of the novels Agatha writes. She is damn indeed talented. Plus point!
[LEXIE LEWIS] Even though I was hurt because of Agatha's sudden leave, I had to move on with life and do my job. It became my weapon to be effective in my acting skills. I cried as quickly as the director wanted because I thought of Agatha. I still don't know why she left. It is not a big deal to ask to be alone for a while. After the taping, I saw Maison again. My stomach turns every time I see his poker face. Even before he could see me, I immediately walked away, but it was too late. "Oh, look who is here. Where is your best friend? Is that your friend or your girlfriend?" I frowned at what he said. What does he mean? "I doubt you because you're the only woman who refused me. Maybe you want a woman too ..." This is a meaningful statement. What does he know? "Do you know you'll lose your career when they find out you're a lesbian? Tsk, you don't even have a career .." His tongue clicked, creating a sound. "Not all women are crazy about you, Maison. You are not the type of pe
[AGATHA NGUYEN] Because of my fight with Lexie, I couldn't develop an exemplary scenario in the novel I was composing. As I always do, I go to the bar to have some fun. Even though I look like a woman, have long hair, dress sexy, and have make-up, there are still women with a solid gay radar. Later on, I bumped into Freya. She offered me a drink, and I just let her until we came out of the bar to talk better. As time went on, I enjoyed chitchatting with her. Freya was different from the women I had met. She has a sense of humor, not just pure sexual admiration. I liked her, so I initiated the move this time. She has been in the top ten on my friends with benefits list. My lips landed on her, and at first, she refused. She said she doesn't give her sweet kiss to someone who isn't in a relationship. "I like you, Agatha, but we are different." A grinned flash on my face. Freya is licking her lips as she trailed her hands on my hips. "Let me bring you into a place where I can make
"Started to like me?? Since when? Now that you've learned I'm a lesbian?? Oh! Come on, Lexie.." I gaped, and my eyebrow met. Why? She thought I might play a game on her?? "Do you think I'm lying to you?" I got the guts to say. She responded to me with a smirk. It looks like she's not convinced, or perhaps not in me but herself. "What are you doing here, by the way?" She frowned as she asked. I can't believe that's what she's going to say. Don't we have to talk? Is that just the way it is? "Why? Why didn't you tell me ?? I'm your best friend .." "Because of that. That will be the effect on you. Now you feel like you like me, which is not. You have had many boyfriends, and I am almost always there whenever you are crushed. I saw how you love, and then now you are telling me this all shit.. that you started to like me ?? Damn, Lexie. You are confused .." I want to shout that what Agatha says is nonsense. She doesn't know anything about how I feel. SHIT !! "Don't take the lead in ho
[LEXIE LEWIS] The next day I woke up next to Agatha. The chance to stare closely at her became possible without worrying about what she might think when she suddenly got up. She has a freckled face when asleep. Her long eyelashes are captivating. Her nose is indeed pointed so her lips. Kissing her last night popped into my mind as I glared at those. I didn't notice this all before. We always sleep together. Meanwhile, I got stirred up when Agatha shifted. I went back to bed, pretending I was asleep. "I know you are awake, Lexie," Agatha said, shooting me a grinning face. I opened my eyes slowly, and then they fixed on her. This moment right now was the best in my life. My heart began to beat fast as if I had run. I could hear Agatha breathing which was like music in my ears. My mind was in the air; I couldn't think straight. "What do you want for breakfast?" A broad smile flashed on her cheeks. Her dimple becomes visible. My lips abruptly taste hers. "I'm not hungry yet. Can I
