Just Friend

"I think you just misunderstood."

"Misunderstanding? You think you know them all? You don't know anything, Ricky. So don't think you know everything..."

"I'm sorry, sorry because I don't know anything about you. Sorry because no matter what, I still hope for you" their eyes looked into each other deeply. Bella could see how much Ricky loved her just by looking into his eyes.

"Aren't you close to Diana? I heard that your mother and father also seem interested in her."

"We are just friends. Diana is a very good woman"

"Why don't you just marry a woman like her? I'm sure you won't regret it. Besides, it's very easy for a man like you to get a woman."

"What does it mean if all I want is you?"

Bella was silent, she didn't understand what she was feeling right now. The image of Randy has not disappeared from her mind, nor has her love for Randy been too great, making Bella not ready to accept new love.

But his heart is empty and feels empty, making him really need someone who can fill that empty space, even if only for a while.

"Why do you love Me ?"

"I don't know Bella, I don't know why...you're the only one on my mind."

That deep gaze, brought them closer. Ricky gently touched Bella's face, looking into the eyes of the woman he loved so much. Slowly, Ricky's kiss landed on Bella's lips. A very gentle and soulful kiss. Bella couldn't resist it.

Bella's hands began to hug Ricky's back, letting Ricky continue the kiss. For some reason, Bella really enjoyed it. Bella and Ricky closed their eyes, so they could forget where they were at the moment.

When images of Randy started to come back into her memory, Bella gasped, opened her eyes and pushed Ricky, forcing him to stop the kiss.

Ricky was surprised, he looked at Bella who looked confused. Seeing Bella's reaction, Ricky realized one thing. Bella hasn't really been able to forget her lover, no matter how hurt she feels right now. That love, still visible in his eyes.

"I know this sounds selfish, but I feel like I really want to take you from that man."

"He's gone with another woman, I just can't forget him..." Bella said in a trembling voice, her eyes starting to fill with tears. Her little heart still hoped that Randy would come back to her and love her like before.

"That means I have a chance, doesn't it? I will make you love me, Bella"

Meanwhile, Diana was standing in front of the door and saw what Ricky and Bella were doing, including the kiss. Diana was frozen in place, she almost walked in at a moment like that.

Diana felt hurt, this was strange. Remembering from the start, he already knew Ricky's feelings for Bella. However, since Bella's rejection at that time. Diana felt that she still had a chance to make Ricky see her, the way he saw Bella. But apparently, Diana seemed to be hoping for something impossible.

Diana took a deep breath, trying as hard as possible to control her current feelings. And tried to keep smiling, no matter that he was currently hurt.

"Excuse me, Bella. May I come in?" exclaimed Diana, acting as if she had just arrived.

"Yeah, just come in!" Diana entered carrying a bag containing Bella's change of clothes.

"Hi..." said Diana when she saw Ricky.

"Hi... you didn't say you wanted to come here too, then I could have picked you up," said Ricky.

"I also came here suddenly, Bella, I brought a change of clothes." Diana put the bag on the table.

Bella tried to observe Diana's movements, which looked clumsy and awkward. Bella knew exactly that Diana's attitude like this showed that she was shocked or shocked. It is certain that Diana saw them kissing.

"Then, I'll go home first. Diana, do you want me to take you home?"

"Ah...that..." Diana answered uncertainly.

"He can do it himself!"

"It's okay, I'll take him, besides, it's already late," said Ricky as he got up from his place.

"Do not go !" Bella immediately held Ricky's hand and looked at him as if she wanted his company.

"You want me to stay here?"

"Yeah, if you leave, I won't want to see you again!"

"Okay, but I'll take Diana home first. After that, I'll come straight back here, I promise?"

"No need, I'll go home alone. You just accompany Bella, but don't you have to work tomorrow? Is it okay if you stay here?"

"You damn woman. You must have done it on purpose, right? So that Ricky wouldn't accompany me here?" Bella thought annoyed.

"No problem, I'll go home tomorrow morning"

"Okay, then I'll go home first?"

"I'll take you. Bella, I'll be right back. Come on, Diana!"

"But...but..." Diana fretted, afraid that Bella would be angry with her. But Bella just kept quiet and didn't say anything.

"It's okay, I'm not calm about letting you go home alone."

"Okay...okay, Bella, I'll go home first, okay?" said Diana. Bella shifted her gaze elsewhere and still showed the same hatred.

A few moments after Ricky and Diana left, Bella thought of a plan that made her excited again. Seeing Diana's attitude, it was clear that she was in love with Ricky and heard that Ricky's parents, who liked Diana, definitely wanted a gentle and polite Diana as their daughter-in-law.

"Don't think, you can live in peace. Please love him as much as you like, until you really want him. After that, I will make you feel excruciating pain, yes...pain that will make you suffer."
