Chapter 3 Prioritizing Her First

[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?????
