Anika

I was so bored behind the store counter, I am curently at work in a small clothing store in the avenue, which means that lots of people enter and leve this place, but today was an exception. This place was so empty you could hear a fly. I was drawing a little dress for one of my sister's dolls in my notepad, when I heard the door open, revealing a boy about my age. I looked at him for a while and the more I looked, the more attractive he became. I got up from my stool and went to ask if he needed help.
' Hi, can I help you?' I said smiling and he turned around and there we stood, like in the movies, looking at each other.

'Hi, yes, I could use some help' He smiled back at me, and I can tell you I fell instantly for that smile

°°° Present day °°°

'Anika... what are you doing here?' He asked as he got close to me, and without thinking I took a step back.

'Are you kidding me? Richard's my boyfriend, what do you mean what I am doing here?' He was asking a stupid question. How I hated when he did that...

'That's exactly what I mean, what are you doing with him?' Was he jealous? No, he couldn't be, he's here with Catalina... I focused on him now, and I examined every inch of his face... how I missed it... 'Does he know?' I tilted my head to my side a bit and narrowed my eyes at him and it suddenly hit me. He meant if Richard knew about me and him.

'No... he doesn't, I never knew you two were friends' I had a weird feeling inside me, and I knew I was only feeling it because I was so close to Zabdiel. It's been two years since we saw each other. You know when you have a soft spot for someone, it doesn't matter if you haven't seen each other for centuries, when you see each other again, you feel a spark? That was what I was feeling.... I never stopped thinking about him, not for one day, but eventually I was done waiting for him and then I met Richard, but I never thought they would be friends...

'We need to pretend that we don't know each other' My heart sank as he said those words, but still, his face showed a bitt of hurt.

'We what? How can you hide something from the person that you're with? Worst, how can you hide something from your friend?' I was mad, but while he remaid shut, causing a silence between us, I started to agree with him. 'For how long?'

'Just until a find a way to explain it to Catalina and for you to explain it to Richard' What me and Zabdiel had was more than just a relationship, we had been through things that me and Richard will never go through, and I think that it was why we were so found and caring of each other.

'Ok Zabdiel, but I can't hold it for too much, he doesn't deserve to be in the dark' I opened the bathroom door and went to the living room and sat next to Richard, and from the corner of my eye I could see Zabdiel sitting next to Catalina, giving her a kiss on the lips. I felt anger built in my chest and I tried to put that feeling behind. Was I getting jealous?
