Friends to Lovers

Chapter 5

I frowned when Mila suddenly noticed our hands. She laughed uncomfortably as she slowly moves her hand away from mine. 

"How did you know about the drinking session? I mean, besides, that you're present to all kind of that," I said because I forgot to tell her about it since it's sudden. 

She chuckled, "Of course, you are there, and I won't let you get drunk with guys that you don't know too well," Mila answered with a smile, but it made me frowned. 

"Liar! You're the person who's always drunk in us!" I said, mocking her about the past times that we gathered to drink alcohol. She laughed as she knows that it was true. 

"All right, you got me. Jacob told me about it," Mila confessed, and when I looked at Jacob, who's on the passenger seat, we looked at each other in unison as he gave me a wink.

A moment later, James stopped the car as we already arrived at the place that they chose. He leaned backward as he glances at the back.

"Let's go?" James said with a smile while looking at me. I smiled too as I nodded my head as an answer. 

Mila suddenly covered my face with her hand. I quickly removed it as I glared at her, and she only laughed at me. 

"Camila!" I just rolled my eyes at her, which makes her overreact.

"Wow, you're rolling your eyes at me now, I see," Mila said while looking intently into my eyes suspiciously. 

She was about to leave the car when I quickly grabbed her arm, facing me again, "I'm sorry," I pouted. 

Mila sighed, "You're not calling me on my nickname, and you're rolling your eyes at me now," She sarcastically said, "What's the catch? Do you like that guy?" She added, and I couldn't breathe for her question. She's cornering me!

"I... I don't know!" I nervously said as I avoided her gaze. It's too intense!

It was a good thing that we are the only ones was left in James' car. James and Jacob went to the place already, leaving us behind.

"Don't you ever change your attitude for someone because Friendship doesn't value as a random relationship," Mila said as she made me looked at her, "Even if I'm with Warren now doesn't mean that he's more important to me. You're still the one I care the most, Lau." She added, but what she said about warren made me stopped for a moment. 

I felt betrayed, and all of a sudden, I wanted to cry. 

"You're with Warren now?" I asked, and it's like I wanted to hurt myself for a reason. I sometimes don't understand myself. 

"Y-Yes... A-And I was about to you that today." Mila couldn't look at me, and she keeps avoiding my gaze. I felt my heart broke into pieces.  

I am very much aware that Mila likes dating, but I wouldn't think of her being together with someone because she always rejects them after one or two dates. 

I'm too complacent about my security in her life, and that hurt me right now. It bounced back to me. I shouldn't trust myself that I won't be placed by someone new.  

"Let's go, Lau," She suddenly said after a long silence between us. She still could not look at me in the eye.

"Yeah, sure," I only said as I followed her inside of the restaurant. 

My week hasn't been good for me. Everything's a mess when Warren came into Mila's life. It's like he stole her away from me in an instant. 

I don't know how many I drank because I'm thinking impulsive things again, such as making her like me back, stealing her from Warren, etc.

I don't like being a bad girl here, but is it too much to ask if I want to keep her forever in me? Is it just my love for her that can only be kept? My feelings? Because it's too unfair to like someone for long, and you can't even have that person because it's too complicated to begin with, right? 

James smiled at me as he pours alcohol on my shot glass. He was sitting right beside me while Mila sat across me and probably glaring at me right now because I could see her looking at us from my peripheral vision.

I don't understand her actions. It's good to be true to care like that for your friend. When I started to like her, I began to look at her actions and how different her actions were from others to me. And I know how different it was when it comes to me. With that attitude of hers, I started to hope that maybe there's something between us. 

It might be the truth, but it might be not. Every day I always think about when I should give up, yet here she is doing something great for me that would make me change my mind. 

Camila is too unpredictable. She's strong and independent. She's friendly and caring, which would make you fall for her in an instant. And loving someone like her is hard. 

I love all about her. She's unpredictable, but I could understand her. She's too friendly and caring, which makes me the one who wants to do that for her. I fall for her each day, and even I stop, my heart would still beat for her. 

My love for Camila is undeniable. It could not resist whenever it's about her. Nothing can change how deeply my feelings are for her. Damn love, right? It makes you crazy for the nonstop hoping. 

I wanted to start all over again, and I would risk everything I have just to make a move on her because maybe I would have a chance, right? 

When I met her, she's too innocent and shy to me since I'm her boss. I'm her superior, and that makes barriers between us. If ever I would be given a chance, I will choose to level with her that day.
