Leo was still standing and hearing them.
" I think there is something going on between Leo and Barbara.." Ryan whispered such that Leo could not hear her.
" Me too. There is a way they have been so close since he came back from the hospital. " Said Tina.
" What are you guys talking about ? " They heard a voice from behind and parted in embarrassment. Barbara was back from doing somethings and she sat on her spot.
" Nothing. We were just having normal jazz. As you know.." Said Tina.
Barbara shook her head with a smile and continued with some work.
Leo was always free to stand and do whatever he wanted as long as he was not far from Myra.
The truth since three days back when he agreed to be Barbara's boyfriend he wasn't feeling himself and sitting around her all day long was becoming hard for him. All he could do was smile and have small small conversations because she was up and down doing this and that and Leo had to follow Myra wherever she went while doing this and that.
Barbara didn't mind that much because she knew that they had weekends off to go for dates.
Saturday W5
Myra was done putting on the dress and it looked so perfect on her body. It exposed the half of her back and exposed her waist and curved. She was standing before the mirror as she put on her necklace.
" How do I look ? " She asked and turned around to face Barbara who was on her bed.
" Wow ! " Barbara was astounded but Myra had a big smile on her face.
" You look just Wow ! ...." Barbara smiled back.
" So...I am ready to go ! " Myra said.
" You go, I will stay behind.." Barbara said.
" But why don't you want to go with me ? " Myra asked.
" I am so tired. You guys might return late so..." Said Barbara.
" Okay then. " Myra got her phone to call Leo to come and pick her.
While they waited she got her spray and then got a book from her bedside table.
" I have been trying to design your shirt and here it is. " Myra gave Barbara the book.
She opened it and observed the design.
One shirt had For and the other one Ever making the words forever.
Barbara looked at Myra with a frown. " Why did you choose the word forever in all words ? " She asked.
Myra sat down on the bed besides Barbara and looked at her.
" Barbara, Love is good. And it's a beautiful thing. But when It's not going to last forever, It's painful. " She stated.
" When I was with Liam, I loved him alot. I never expected that one day it will end between us until it did. I used to act strong before everyone, But inside I always asked myself why ? Why did he have to leave the time I needed him the most . " After saying this she reached for Barbara's hands and held them.
" Barbara, I want your love and Leo to last forever. " She finally let Barbara know that she knew who her boyfriend was.
Barbara understood the first bit of her words but when Myra mentioned Leo she had to pretend.
" So all along , You knew That I was with Leo ? " Barbara asked.
" Yeah, I found six days ago. " Myra said with a soft smile.
Barbara kept silence to listen to what Myra had to say.
" I saw two kissing that Sunday.." Myra thought she was telling Barbara a secret.
" I am embarrassed that you saw us like that.." Barbara said with guilty in her eyes.
" Barbara, You shouldn't feel unease. Leo is a good guy. I am sure he will take good care of you. " Myra said.
" Aren't you angry with me ? " Barbara asked.
" Why should I be angry ? " Myra asked.
" Because I know you like Leo. " Barbara honestly said.
" I won't lie. I like him but...You are the one that he loves. And you are my bestfriend. The best I can do is wishing you both to be happy forever. " Myra said and hugged Barbara.
Barbara hugged her back.
" Thank you Myra..." Barbara said.
Myra smiled and held her tighter and after they parted from the hug.
Myra got the book from Barbara and said. " I will give this to Brian. I am sure he will bring it out perfectly. " She said.
They were like this when the door bell rang.
" He must be Leo. Go and talk to him while I apply my makeup ! " Myra said and went back to the dressing mirror.
Barbara got up to go and open the door.
" Hi..." She said to Leo with a smile.
" Hello..."
" Come in, Myra is still busy. " She said and he went inside.
" I didn't expect to find you here again.." He said as they both sat down.
" Hmm, I told you I spend most of my time here. " She said.
" Well,...Aren't you going for the Show ? " He asked.
" I didn't feel like going out today. Actually...I wanted to take you somewhere tomorrow. Are you free ? " She asked.
" I am not sure. But I will obviously find time. " He said.
" Well...I will be waiting for you then. " She said with a beam.
" Barbara, I am sorry. " He suddenly said
" Sorry for what ? " She asked with a frown.
" It's really my first time to be in a relationship. I am scares that I am not fulfilling my duties as a boyfriend. " He said.
" There's nothing to be sorry about. I like you this way..." She said with a smile.
He reached for her hands and held them which made Barbara to exhale.
" I promise you. I will try my best. To be a good boyfriend. " He said with a smile.
Barbara held his hands tighter and gave him a grin.
They were like this when Myra came from her room and saw them holding hands.
' It this point, I understand how it feels to lose something that you want. I never had this feeling before. '
She said silently.
