She walked out of anger and went to her room.
" Mabel was does she mean? "
" She doesn't come to the dining when you're there,she prefers to eat in her room than to eat at the dining with you "
" Wow! She's really unbelievable, she doesn't surprise me with her childish behaviors." He smirked.
" I don't get it, you guys used to be so close you couldn't even do anything without each other "

" Both, I want you to be my girlfriend, My love and mine altogether."
" Buh you didn't have to spend so much just to ask.... Anyways there's a condition "

" Yes! Sooo, No lies and anything we do , we do together no matter what." She smiled.
" Really ! " He was relieved. " Yes we'll do everything together."
" Promise! " She smiled.
He promised her and they both enjoyed the evening.

" Just be calm Mary, but why can't you guys just talk things through . "
" You know it's not possible. Not after what he's done "
" Can you just......" Mary interrupted her.
" Please let's just forget about it "
" But you guys used to be close....At some point I was jealous of your love..."
" That was then, his family never even liked me from the beginning. His Dad despises me. "
" I know that! Buh you know that's not the reason why you both are like this. "
" Please just forget about it, oti sumi (I'm just fed up). "
