More than My Friend

Ch. 4Chapter 3


It has been like a week? Yeah, a week since Leo came back, and although everyone noticed it but I can truly say that my mood has been lightened and I feel better than I used to feel.

I have my bestie back, so I have every right to be this giddy.

Well, aside from the fact that he is fully back, I am really excited for what the future holds for us and looking forward to a 'More than Friend' relationship for u both.

I haven't had the chance to ask him if he had a past relationship when he was away because the previous week had been really busy for him especially and we haven't really gotten the time to sit and talk about some things.

I hope there would be more between us. Now we are grown, fully matured... I hope and am fully aware of our feelings.

He has been fully aware and never failed to show or tell me but I was the one always pushing away what I truly felt for him because I am a coward and a scaredy cat.

Stupid me, I chose Chris over him and I am hoping that he isn't still hurt by that.

It has been over three years, and that would be really silly of him. He is not one to hold a grudge or be angry for a long period of time.

Well, anyway, he has been settling in quite well, mum was glad that he was back, even Elle and Daniel. They were elated and kept teasing me which left warmness on my both cheeks and down to my neck.

I wanted them to tone down the teasing but I still am excited about what is next for us.

We weren't able to hang out while he settled in so I told him that I want us to go for that next time he said when we went for lunch and he agreed so here I am in my room looking for what dress would be great for this little outing we are going to.

I don't really know what to wear and can't understand why I feel anxious about wearing something Leo might not like.

This has never been an issue since we were teenagers. I always felt comfortable dressing how I wanted to dress whenever he was around, with no nervous feelings or thinking if he would like my dress or not.

It felt that when I was dating Chris but never with Leo. I just can't understand why I feel anxious and have this turning feeling in my stomach because I am thinking he might not like whatever I will wear.

"It has never been a problem, what is the issue now?" I asked my reflection in the mirror but got no response.

Leo sees me as beautiful, even when I am not looking my best, he never misses a chance to tell me that so why do I feel like he might not like my dressing or anything if I don't get it right?

He said I looked more beautiful than the last time he saw me so that shouldn't bother me but I am so bothered.

Leo never changed. He is still that sweet-natured handsome guy that makes my heart flutter every single time. Just more manly and handsome.

"GOD, Daniella you need to chill out and stop worrying about what could possibly go wrong... nothing can ever be wrong with you guys, right?" I asked and no response so I sigh and went to lay on my bed.

"If I didn't know you personally, I would have thought you went mad already. No offense" my twin said as she came to sit beside me on my bed.

"Help!" I whispered and she signaled that I sat up so I did.

"What's up? It's about lover boy, eh?" she wriggled her brow and I groaned.

"I don't know why I feel so worked up about meeting him again or about this date we are going to" I turned to check my time and saw that it was already eleven in the morning so I turned back to her.

"Three hours from now," I told her and she sighed.

"Is your guts telling you something?"

"That something will go wrong" I replied and she paused to think.

"What do you think will go wrong? A crazy ex coming to bang a bottle of coke on your head for going on a date with her ex-boyfriend?" she asked and I slapped my palm against my forehead and then shook my head.

Those novels she has been reading are really messing with her head.

Why did I encourage her to read more when that boy broke her heart again? Reading is good, I did nothing bad... she is just fantasizing too much.

"Elle, this isn't one of those novels you read... this is real, this feeling is real and I need real advice to help me get past this stage," I told her and she rolled her eyes at me.

"It is real and I am not trying to be funny or whatsoever, I am being serious here, and weren't you the one who encouraged me to read after I broke up with that dude? What happened to the novel queen?"

"I... stopped... reading," I said to her and she gasped.

"Oh my GOD, what did you just do to yourself? Why did the reading queen stop? Was it because of..." she trailed and I let out a sigh.

"I don't know actually"

"I can't say I understood how you felt with all that happened in the past but I did get a taste of the evil feeling dad felt towards you and I understand that you might feel that reading would not be a good idea for you," she said and I smiled.

"Thank you"

"It's okay. When I was passing through that heartbreak and you told me to read so that I could try to forget and move on, it actually helped and it turned out that reading was the best therapy I needed to get me off that sad stage so that is why I love reading and getting lost in the books I buy" she told me and I felt happy that I helped her through a stage.

"If you haven't noticed yet, I have two medium-sized libraries in my room filled with books that I loved and books that made me forget about a problem for a long period, some gave me ideas on how to tackle situations though and I am happy that I gave reading a chance"

"I am glad too so... what did the lady do?" I asked her.

"What lady?"

"The lady that had a bottle of coke banged on her head"

"She was pissed that he didn't tell her about his estranged ex and soon they were able to tackle things and get that girl off their shoulder, that isn't the case here, just be positive and don't think too much about anything"

"But I am thinking too much about anything"

"Because that is your nature, you worry too much and most of the time it doesn't make sense. No offense, just try not to worry and dress the way you think would be normal of you to dress" she shrugged.

This girl is really annoying but I will take her advice and try to bother about an ex of his banging my head with a bottle of coke.

"Thank you, now you may leave" I showed her the door to her room and she rolled her eyes and stood up then walked out of my room to her room but didn't forget to stick her tongue out at me.

"Weirdo" I muttered and went to my wardrobe to check for the clothing that came to my mind just now.
