Together Forever

Have you ever been in such a situation where you lose the ability to utter a word?

Well, I am now. I am trying to say something but my tongue is tied. Bunches of questions currently brawling in my stomach but my mouth is at a loss for words.

It seems like my own ears betrayed me but I know I heard right. The boy I have always seen as my friend made me dumb just by one question. Life is so complicated.

After minutes of inward struggling, I finally speak up,

"I don't have any alcohol in my house. Then how and when did you get drunk? You aren't looking drunk though." I say in an excessively low voice but he hears me.

He shakes his head, "I am not drunk, Evie. I am sober."

Since when did my life begin to run like a drama script?

I pull my hand away from his grasp with a jerk. I take a deep breath to calm my nerves before I shot at him furiously,

"Do you have any fucking idea what you are saying? How could you say that? Leah would go crazy if she can hear. I can't believe you. Oh God, please Nicki just say you are joking. Please." I yell and start breathing heavily.

I examine him carefully and to cause my second blow of shock, I can feel that he is trying hard to hold back laughter. I don't have to wait too long as he bursts into a roar of laughter, falls off the couch clutching his belly with his hands.

He continues laughing and tumbling until he loses his breath as I just sit there like a thunderstruck person.

"Oh ... god, you...are so... funny. How could you think I said that truly? You didn't even let me finish my sentence. Ouch! My tummy is aching." He says, sitting up on the floor looking at me amusingly.

Holy mother of chocolate! He was joking! What a fucking asshole!

I let out a huge breath I was holding, grab a pillow from the couch, and throw it straight across the idiot's face.

"You jerk! You almost gave me a heart attack! Don't you dare to do that kind of stupid joke with me again!" I yell and about to get off when he grabs my arm stopping me. I turn to him,

am really mad at you.

his hand up in the air, "I need a fake girlfriend to make Leah jealous because before I ask her out, I need to be sure if she really feels the same way as me or not. If she does, then she will feel jealous to see you with me like that. And not any other girl because all girls swoon over me, they won't leave me so easily. That's why you have to do it." He finishes,

what an evil plan! Leah definitely likes him. If I do it, she will misunderstand

Evie, if she doesn't like me, she won't be hurt. And if she does, then I will manage her so that she doesn't misunderstand you. This is the way to unbosom
