"She is your friend?" Nicole asked with her brows raised.
Jack looked at her and stayed silent for a few seconds.
"What do you think?" Jack asked.
Nicole let out a deep breath and she looked at Jack in the eyes.
"I don't know, you just told that she is your friend."
Jack moved and sat beside her and then he let out a sigh.
"You might hate after listening to this." He looked at her, thoughts going through his mind.
He wondered how he should tell her the truth.
Nicole glanced at his complicated expression and then moved in his lap. "I am not a fool."
She stared deep into his eyes. "I know that you two are more than friends."
Jack felt her body on his and was shocked for a second, he thought that her reaction would be different.
"Are you ok with it?" He asked.
"No." Nicole snorted and a pout ford on her face. "I would like to have you for ." She said again.
She sat on the side of the sofa and waited for his answer.
As Jack was about to say sothing, a panel flashed in front of him.
[1. Tell her the truth. ( 1 Heart.)
2. Lie to her. (-6 hearts.)]
Jack looked at the options and gasped a breath of cool air.
'minus Four!!' He looked at the second option again and a shiver ran down his spine.
If he chooses it, then she would leave him for good, and her heart would drop down to negative two.
That would cause him a lot of trouble, however, option one was the one that surprised him the most.
'So, if I tell her the truth, she would be fully conquered.' This was good for him, he didn't wanna lie to her anyway.
Without giving it any more thought, he clicked on the first option and then looked at Nicole.
She was waiting for his answer patiently.
Taking in a deep breath he opened his mouth.
"Yes, she is more than my friend." He said and looked for her reaction.
Nicole showed no change in her expression she sat there calmly.
·ƈθm "More than friends like what? Do you love her?" She asked, her heart started beating at a rapid pace and a hollow feeling moved through her stomach.
"Yes." He didn't want to complicate it, so he said directly.
This ti he could notice a change on her face, a furrow appeared on her brow and she clenched her fist.
"Do you love ?" She asked, her eyes glimring.
"Yes." He said again, she was his, and he won't like it if she left him.
Nicole took in a deep breath at his answer and stood up from the sofa.
"I am leaving." She picked up her phone and started moving towards the door. There were no changes in her expressions.
Jack raised his brows at her sudden one-eighty, according to Ero ter it should have increased her heart, so why was she leaving?
His eyes glanced at her head and he could see all five of her hearts filled even his phone buzzed with a ssage and even a minus sign appeared on her Ero ter and Love ter.
'Why is she leaving?' He stood up and moved in front of her.
"Where?" He asked.
"Does it matter?" She raised her brows.
"Yes, it does." He held her hand and pulled her towards him. "You are mine."
"Shut up!" She pushed him away and an angry expression appeared on her face.
"Can you leave her for ?" She asked as her eyes turned misty.
Jack listened to her and turned silent for a mont. Different thoughts moved through his mind and then he looked straight into her eyes.
"I am sorry." A simple sentence moved out of his mouth.
Nicole raised her nose. "Thought so!" She placed her phone in her pocket and strode towards the wooden door.
"Don't stop !" She said and flung the door open.
Jack moved and caught her hand again, "Let's talk for a bit."
"Don't touch !" She pulled her hand away and then moved out of the door. "Don't you dare follow ! What do you think I am, just another swing for you?!"
Clenching her teeth she moved toward the lift.
"Are you really leaving?" He moved beside her and said in a serious tone.
She finally stopped at his words and then looked at him, "Yes, I am, are you gonna do sothing about it?!" She asked.
"What should I do?"
"Nothing, just don't trouble again." She clicked the lift button.
Jack narrowed his eyes at her attitude, he could see that her Love ter is full, however, can't understand her actions.
"Where are you going?!" He asked, this ti with an annoyed voice.
Nicole listened to his angry tone and her heart skipped a beat, this was the first ti he has raised his voice in the whole argunt.
"None of your business." She stepped into the lift and looked at him for the final ti.
As the lift was closing, Jack stared at her, not knowing how he should handle this situation.
Finally, the lift closed, and he returned back to his apartnt with his back slouched.
"I should call her later, she is too angry to talk now."
Nicole on the other hand stared at the door of the lift for a few seconds and then a tear left her eye.
Soon enough she took an Uber and reached a hotel, after sitting on the hotel bed she took out her phone and saw a ssage from Jack.
Clicking on it she opened it.
"Call ," Was written on the ssage.
Sighing she closed her phone and threw it on the bed. Laying on the bed she started at the ceiling with an emotionless expression.
"He was angry at ." She rembered how he raised his voice at the last mont when she was leaving.
Tears began falling from her eyes as she turned around and hugged a pillow tightly.
"I have done it!" She stamred and picked up her phone again and looked at the ssage.
She started at it for a few minutes.
'Should I reply to him?' Her thoughts were in a ss and she didn't know how to react, that was the reason why she left his apartnt in a hurry.
She didn't know how she would have reacted if she stayed with him. So she decided that it was better to leave and think about the situation alone.
......
Jack on the other hand sat on his sofa and kept looking at his phone, waiting for her reply.
However, even after waiting for an hour no reply ca, he sighed and placed his phone away.
Standing up he took out a beer can and started sipping slowly while staring at the TV.
Ti passed as beer cans started collecting on the table, he even took out a bottle of whisky when he emptied all the beers.
He kept staring at the TV while subconsciously glancing at the phone.
So ssages ca and he looked at them, however, they were only so spam notifications.
Letting out a breath he switched the TV off and slumped down on his bed, just as he was about to fall asleep a knock ca on his door.
Raising his brows he stood up, 'Have she returned?' he quickly walked towards the door, his steps stumbling because of all the alcohol he has consud.
Soon he opened the door and a figure ca into his view, it was Cassie.
Cassie on the other hand looked at him, she could sll heavy alcohol sll from him and could see that his eyes were cloudy.
Her brows raised and an expression of worry appeared on her face.
She quickly moved in and closed the door.
"What happened?" She held his hand.
"Nothing," Jack said and moved toward the bedroom.
Cassie raised her nose and followed him to the bed, she could see no sign of Nicole.
"Did she leave?" She looked at him with a serious look.
Jack sat on the bed and his gaze landed on her worried expression.
"Don't worry." He said and holding her hand pulled her into the bed.
He then started kissing her.
"Stop!" Cassie moved away from him. "You are drunk!" She stood up from the bed and moved a few steps back.
Jack looked at her and realized his mistake.
"I am sorry." He said and moved up on his bed, moving a pillow under his head he stared at the ceiling.
Cassie sighed looking at his nonchalant attitude, she knew him from his childhood, and he always acted nonchalant when he was hurt.
Moving on the bed she sat on his waist and lightly slapped his face.
"Stupid! You should have called !" She could tell what has transpired in her absence.
Nicole must have left him when she found out about both of them.
She leaned in and kissed his lips.
"I am sorry." She whispered with a worried expression. She was sohow feeling guilty.
"It wasn't your fault." Jack pulled her closer by placing his hands on her waist.
