Brianna had already left to see her boyfriend. Cat was now home alone. She laid on the bed as she thought about Shawn and what happened that night at the party. She couldn't believe that her boss was the one who was making her feel that way. She was anxious and didn't know what to do. Even though she could see that Shawn was into her. She wasn't ready yet to be in a relationship with anyone. She didn't want to be in a relationship with him cause he was her boss. But at the same time, she was crushing on him.
As she was laying on the bed, someone knocked on the door. She stood and headed towards the door. He was standing with a wide grin on his face. She wasn't expecting him to visit so soon after she denied him.
"Hi Zack you can enter", she mentioned opening the door wider. He entered inside and headed towards her bed.
"So how have you been...?" he questioned her. It had been a while since they saw each other so he didn't know how she was fairing. Even though she had refused to be his girlfriend like he wished she would. He still cared about her and that was one of the reason why he visited her.
"Am well how about you", she mentioned as she sat closer to him. Even though she wished she could love him romantically, she couldn't. She didn't love him that way. She saw him as more of a friend than her lover.
"Ooh nice, I just missed you. Why don't you visit me nowadays", he was missing the moments that he spent with her. Even though she didn't accept him he didn't want to loose her as his friend. He wished that she would love him in the same way that he loved her. But that wasn't his decision to make.
"Am sorry been busy lately cause of work", she informed him of what was making her busy. He moved closer to her, he placed his hand on her leg as his eyes were glued on her. Cat's eyes widened as she stared at him. She couldn't believe that he was doing that. She tried to stand up but he made her sit again. He didn't want her to leave at the moment.
"Just give me a kiss just a kiss Cat", he said staring at her lips. Her heartbeat accelerated as she stared at him intensely. He was requesting her to do something hard considering that he was her best friend. She never thought that he would ask her to smooch him at all.
"Mmh but I can't Zack", she informed him. A frown appeared on his face. He couldn't believe that she was refusing to do this. He just wanted a kiss from her nothing more than that but she wasn't planning on fulfilling his request.
"Just a kiss please ", he mentioned licking his lips. It now hit her that he wasn't kidding her and he wanted a kiss from her. She moved closer to him and placed her lips on his. When he parted his lips she moved back and ended the kiss. She wasn't planning on giving him a french kiss as he wanted. That's the only thing that she could do to him. To just smooch him lightly and give him a friendly kiss.
"But that wasn't enough I want more", he was now demanding it from her rather than requesting her.
"I can't give you more please understand we ain't lovers to be doing that", she informed him the truth even though he didn't want to hear it. His brows scowled in displeasure. He wasn't happy that she refused to give him the one thing that he was desiring from her.
"Why don't you want me in the first place", he wanted to hear her explanation. He thought that she wouldn't deny him cause they were close friends. He thought that maybe she would learn to love him over time. But that wasn't what Cat was feeling. She just loved him like a friend and nothing more. And that's what he didn't want to hear that she couldn't love him like he wanted.
"I love you that's not a lie but I don't love you that way. I love you like my brother and best friend. Kindly understand me and let our friendship continue just like how we were before", Cat informed him hoping that he would accept it. He stood then sat on Brianna's bed. She couldn't understand why he did that. Earlier he wanted to be so close to her. Then now he was distancing himself from her like she was a plaque.
"What is your problem why don't you want me huh or ain't handsome enough", he was starting to question her. He wasn't making things easy for her. She couldn't tell him that she was crushing on someone else and not him. She couldn't disclose to him that he wasn't making her feel nervous like how Shawn always made her feel. She just had to pretend like nothing was happening.
"You are handsome and a brilliant guy. Your future girlfriend will be a lucky one. We ain't meant to be and can feel that", she had to tell him the way she was feeling. Even though it wasn't her intention to hurt him she couldn't lie to him cause he was her best friend.
"Ooh it's fine anyway suit yourself Cat", he mentioned as he stood. Before she could speak he headed to the door and opened it. He slammed it as he left her room. This was the first time that she saw him in that condition. She couldn't understand why he was over reacting that way yet she was sincere. She didn't want to loose her best friend. She loved him so much but not like how he wanted her.
"Why can't he be understanding ", she said as she laid on her bed. She sighed heavily as she tried to relax. She felt like following him but she couldn't. She didn't want to make the matter worse cause she knew she wouldn't be his girlfriend anyway.
