22 | REGRET? GUILT?

AMELIA'S POV:

"Okay guys, I've got some popcorn, so Lily start with your story." I said for which we laughed but then she got a little serious. Little.

"We dated for 3 weeks and broke up yesterday, Reason he cheated on me. That bast-" she said with anger.

"How could he even cheat on someone as beautiful as you. It's okay babe, you can date me." Em said to Lily and they both hugged each other. Both, overdramatic asses I say.
These guys got close so quickly. Just Lily has that kind of aura, she mingles with people faster than the light speed.

"Are you sure you both are sober?" I asked laughing at their childish behavior.

"Okay my story is not so interesting, tell yours, Em." Lily said nudging Em.

"You guys, be ready to hate me after this." Em said. Then, she told the whole scene that happened before. She also told us how she felt about it which she wasn't pretty sure about it herself.

"Oh my god, you messed up Em. You messed up real bad." Lily said clasping her hand on her mouth.

"I know." Em said smashing her face into a pillow.

"What did you do Em? How could you do that to Jason? I'm very angry on you. I mean, sure, you had your reasons, but you could have told him that you need more time. You're such a witless person when it comes to these kind of things. Now, just give up on the thoughts of getting together with Jason." I exclaimed angrily stuffing popcorn into my mouth.

"Please don't say that Amelia, please help me." She said taking both my hands in hers.

"You messed up Em, you have to fix it. You might be bad at expressing, but you can't just think of him that badly. Like why in the world would he puncture your car tyre? Is he a small kid? Seriously? Look Em, it's not like I don't understand your point of view. I know you don't want to experience the same thing like you did with John but how would you know about Jason if you are not letting him understand you, not letting him know you. If you really like him, then you have to come out of comfort zone, you have to let him into your life." I said and she blinked the tears out of her eyes.

"How about you ask him for a date tomorrow?" Lily. asked her.

"He wouldn't even talk to me, how do you expect him to go on a date?" Em said sniffling.

"You messed up, so clean the shit up yourself." Lily said which reminded me of the time when Jason texted me the same exact thing when Ed was angry at me. Time really flies.

We talked for a while and slept on the bed. I wasn't able to sleep. Even though, I havent had nightmares recently, I got used to sleeping with Ed, I just can't get used to sleeping without him again and I don't even want to.

I went downstairs to grab a sip of water. But then, I saw someone already drinking water, Ed.

EDWARD'S POV:

Jason barged into my room and dashed onto the bed with his face on a pillow
"Hey man, what the hel-" I was about to shout but stopped when I heard light sniffles from him.
"Hey Jason, are you crying?" I tapped his shoulder but he didn't reply instead he started crying a little louder.
"Jason, what happened? Is it Emily?" I asked and he turned his tears filled eyes towards me and nodded his head in agreement.

He told me everything that happened today. Damn, such a kdrama. Not the time, Edward.

"I really like her Ed, why is she doing this to me? As a lawyer, I'm good at being patient but when it comes to her I'm losing it all. I've come to a point where I don't even know who's at fault, her or me?" He said crying on my lap.

"Its okay Jason, just give her some time, she will understand it herself. You have given your best, right, so let her realize it and come to you and if she dosent, then she would lose a gem in her life." I said rationally.

I was slightly angry at Em, but it's not completely her fault too, she has her problems. Jason has been always very strong. He rarely cries. Even when our company was in a very big loss, he consoled me the whole time when I cried. He was not the type to cry easily, which makes me think how hurt he had been about what Em said that made him cry this much.

"Something is stopping her from expressing. I want her to realize that she likes me. If she really dosen't like me then it'll just be an unrequited love right?" He said pouting sadly at me.

Why is he suddenly being so cute? If only Em could see this, she would literally fall in love.

"How about you ignore her for a while, and don't talk to her even if she does. Okay?" I said looking at him for an answer.

"Okay" he said. I was surprised he didn't say anything. He slowly drifted off to sleep.

I was unable to sleep. I need to sleep with Amelia, I'm missing her touch. And this idiot snores too loud, I'll just sleep on the couch downstairs.

I went down and drank some water when I saw Amelia. Did she also miss me? Or she might have come to drink water, nevermind.

AMELIA'S POV:

I went to the kitchen to drink water. Ed already drank but he didn't leave, he just stood there and waited until I completed drinking and as I was about to leave, he held my arm and pulled me closer to him.

"I missed you." He said encircling my waist with both his arms, pulling me closer.

"Me too." I said placing my arms around his neck.

He looked at me, my eyes, my nose and then finally my lips. He brushed his thumb on my lips and suddenly dashed his lips onto mine and this time I didn't stop him. He kissed me longingly as if this is our last kiss. He then placed me on the kitchen counter and continued the kiss. After a while, we pulled away. I was a blushing mess. He looked at me and pinched my cheeks.
"You're cute when you blush." He said kissing my cheeks.

"Are you going back to your room again?" He asked me which almost came out as a small whine.
"As much as I want to sleep with you, there is no place for us to sleep together. You have Jason in your room and I've those 2 in my room." I said ruffling his and his face turned into a frown.

"How about" He held my hand and took me near the couch in the hall
"we sleep here?" He said with a smile on his face.

"Will we fit in here? I mean it's too sma-" I said but he suddenly pulled me on top of him in the couch and covered us with a blanket.
"Space dosen't matter, this couch is my bed and I'm yours, done and sorted." He said kissing my forehead and turned right so that I could put my head on his arm.

I turned my head towards him
"Are you stressed about tomorrow?" I asked.
"Yes, a lot to be honest." He said pecking my lips.
"It'll be fine, don't worry about it and sleep peacefully."I said and he agreed.

"Good night, baby girl." He said.
"Good night baby boy." I said which sounded bad so I continued
"Just forget I ever said that."
He laughed and we both drifted into our dreamland.
