"He's engaged and he wants to go out with you, his relationship is obviously not working out. So, why not?"

"What do you mean?"

Maya was never good with words.

"What I mean is, there's a reason he's 'cheating', right?"

"He said that the love faded."

"There you go! His love faded - he wants something new and he freakin' came for you, he remembered you after you were drunk at a party, isn't that enough reasons to give him a try?" she asked, making me sigh.

"I'm not sure - just give me some time to focus on my work, we're having this big wedding in a month and I'm planning it." I rolled my eyes, resting my head on a pillow.

"Why can't I sleep 24/7 and still make money?" I asked as I blinked. "Life is so unfair." I commented.

Walking towards the door, Maya smiled at me.

"Life is fair, because it's unfair to everyone."

"Edward told me you haven't been answering his calls or texts, is everything alright?" Toby asked as he sipped his Americano, his eyes staring into my soul as if I've committed a crime.

Well, technically the crime is not answering both Edward's texts and calls. Stirring the whipping cream of my drink, I bit my bottom lip.

"Been busy." I said, looking at him as I finally found an excuse.

"Well, that's some bullshit."

"Language." I warned. "Plus. that's not bullshit, I am busy."

"Answering his calls takes a second."

"And talking to him takes how many minutes?" I asked, wriggling my eyebrows as a sigh left his lips.

"It's because he's engaged, right?"

"Well, of course its because he's engaged! His fiancee is probably still dreaming about him, as we might know!" I said, waving my hands around. "Plus, he's not my type."

"That's some more bullshit."

"Indeed, that he's hot but, I don't know. It's too early."

"Seven months since you broke up with Jonas - too early, you say?" he asked.

"But you know, moving on takes time, it's alright but you don't have to push Edward out. He might be the one. Who knows, right?" Toby said, taking a sip from the mug.

Pouting, I looked at my phone and read all the texts Edward gave, and checked on all the calls Edward made. It's been two weeks since I last saw him and well, he has been sending me Good Morning and Good Night. Will he actually give up, though? Sighing, I looked at Toby.

"Alright, alright." I said.

"I'll try giving him another chance - just because I feel bad." I said as smile appeared on his lips.

"Great then." he said as his hands went towards his phone, probably texting Edward. "I have to go, Edward will be here in five minutes. Just stay here, alright?" he said as he got up.

"Wait, what?"

"Got to go, bye! Wait for him, alright?" he said as he left me there, dumbfounded.

"He's kidding, right?" I asked my self as I was about to get up.

I'm on my way - Mr. Strawberry Shortcake.
