Mischa's POV

"It's not what you think it is" I said hastily. I don't want her to get the wrong idea. She's wiping her mouth while looking at me intently.

"I know that I love you, I won't lie to that but it's not yet the same as David. I mean... How do I put it" I said frowning. I don't know how to explain what I'm feeling right now. I massaged my temple to think of a better way to explain it.

"Knowing that you've learned to love me is more than enough for me" she said smiling at me.

"No, I need to explain to you why I said that, I want you to understand my feelings" I argued.

"You don't have to, I understand what you feel. You love me but you're not yet in love with me. That's fine because I'm patient, I know the time will come that you'll fall for me as well" she said then reached for my hand and pressed it gently.

I just nodded and smiled. She's right on that part, I want to figure that out to myself as well.

Am I really capable of falling in love with her?

I asked mentally. She has the traits of a good partner but still she's a girl. I don't know what my parents would say if they find out that I'm living with a girl. I can say that she's my friend but the truth will always come out no matter how you hide it.

We ate and talked about a lot of things, I'm glad I came home and chose to celebrate my birthday with her. She's really funny.

"It's been seven months now" I said while gazing at her.

"Yeah, I've been staying here for seven months and I'm glad I haven't been kicked out" she picked up Potchi and carried it baby style.

"Almost. You're kissing a man that I don't even know" I stated. Suddenly she became uneasy as if I said something sensitive.

"Heaven, who's that man?" I'm really curious and I can't get it out of my mind.

"I told you he's nothing" she said frowning.

"If he's nothing then why did you kissed him? Why are you smiling when you're talking to him?" I want to know him. She sighed heavily before speaking.

"He's my ex-boyfriend" my eyes widen in disbelief.

"For real?" She nodded in response.

"Wha...why did you two broke up? Is he courting you again?" I moved my chair closer to her.

"He left" she said simply. She took a piece of steak and brought it to Potchi's mouth.

"Why? You're perfect. I mean you're stupid but that's all. How could he leave you?" I'm starting to get annoyed to her ex.

"I don't know what to feel by what you just said" she said chuckling.

"A lot of people wants to be your partner. He's a moron" I said while rolling my eyes.

"Let bygones be bygones Mischa" she said simply. Potchi already fell asleep so she put it on the chair beside her.

"Does he want you back? Is that the reason why he fetched you at school?" I asked anxiously. She didn't respond. Instead she stood up and put the plates on the sink.

"Hey answer me!" I said annoyed.

"Yes" she said as she started washing the dishes.

Now I have a competition. I said to myself as I walked to where she is.

"Did you love him?" It took me a lot of courage to ask that.

"Yeah, I used to skip classes before just to be with him" she said chuckling. That made me frown,

"He's a bad influence to you! Good thing he left" I said snorting.

"No he's not. Let's just say when you're in love you do things that you don't usually do"

"Whatever! You love me now so I forbid you from talking to him anymore!" I'm jealous of him.

"Possessive much?" She said then flicked the water on my face.

"Ugh! Don't do that again it's cold" I said shivering. She focused on washing the dishes but I didn't left her side.

"Do you still have feelings for him?" I can't shut my mouth. She glanced at me and just smiled.

"Heaven" I poked her shoulder.

"He's a part of me, he's my first love and I thought he'd be the last" I crossed my arms by her response.

"So you're going back to him huh?" I said irritably.

"No. That's not what I meant. I still care for him but that's it. You're my love now even if I hit my head on the floor or even if I lose my memory you're still the one" what she said made me smile. I jumped off the sink and hugged her back.

"I wonder what you ate aside from my steak" she said chuckling.

"Huh?" I didn't get what she said.

"You're so sweet today, not your usual" I moved away and poked her nape which made her shiver.

"Don't you like it? This is your dream, you want this" I said cockily. She turned around to face me.

"Yeah you're right I really want this but I'm afraid that it'll end" she said seriously.

"Everything has an end that's why we need to enjoy the time that's given to us" I said smiling simply.

"Yeah, just like you ending your relationship with David, and start a new one with me" she said all of a sudden.

Right now I'm not thinking of that, like I said I just want to enjoy our moment but it never occured in my mind that I will break up with David. I smiled and gave her a peck on her lips.

"I'll go to the room first okay? I'm so tired, it's been a long day" I turned around immediately and started to walk away not giving her a chance to respond.

I sighed as soon as I entered my room and sat on my bed.

"I don't know if I can leave David for you, I really don't know" I muttered then started removing my clothes.

••••

These past few days I've spent most of my time with her, I text David but every time he invites me to go out I refuse. I'm sure he's gonna ask me questions about why I chose to be with Heaven than him on that night of my birthday.

"Hey!" Michelle greeted us the moment we got out of my car. Heaven didn't brought her car because she's gonna wait for me after class.

"Good morning" Heaven greeted her. She smiled sweetly and glanced to our entwined hands. I didn't bother to let go of her hand because I don't mind if it's just her.

"Mischa, I'm gonna go. I'll wait for you at the parking lot okay?" Heaven said after a while.

"Sure" I said and about to kiss her when I realized that Michelle was around.

Fudge!

"Bye Michelle" she said before walking away. I composed myself and pretended that nothing happened before I started to walk.

"Am I just hallucinating or you're about to kiss your cousin?" She said frowning. I glanced at her.

"You're hallucinating" I said simply as I comb my hair using my hand.

"That's incest Mischa" she said in distaste.

"Whatever Mich. let's go you're completely hallucinating" I said then grabbed her hand and ran.

It's our chemical laboratory today and that's one of the hardest subject that I wished to pass.

"So how's your boyfriend Mischa?" Liza asked me suddenly.

"We're fine" I said flatly. I reached for the test tube and poured the chemical that I boiled on it.

"He's a really big catch and I heard he has a brother. Let's invite both of them to a soirée, my parents will be out for a week" she suggested. I shook my head gently. Heaven won't allow me.

"He's busy. You know he's not a college guy anymore"

"Then he's boring!" She sneered.

"No he's not" I said raising my brow.

"He's rich yeah but he's boring. Okay I'll just invite your cousin then" I almost let loose the tube when I heard what she said.

"Why?" I asked frowning.

"Well, Jason wants to meet her. I think he has a thing for her" she said then grabbed the tube that I was holding.

"You almost ruined our activity" she said as she walked to Michelle and checked what she's doing.

Jason is a quarterback and he's handsome, he's a playboy and a typical idiot who just want to bang girls.

"Seriously? I won't allow Heaven to come on your party" I followed her. She looked at me frowning.

"What are you? Her mother? Of course she can come if she wants to"

"No she won't. Jason was a dickhead you know that" she rolled her eyes at me.

"You know what? You're boring as well, I'll invite her even if you get mad!" she said irritably then left me and Michelle to do the activity.

"You can't keep your cousin to yourself. That's incest" Michelle whispered then headed to our group mates.

"I can keep her to myself because she's mine!" I mumbled then threw my pad paper on her back.

"Bitch!" She looked at me sharply, I removed my face mask and stick my tongue out to piss her off her more. I know that she can sense something between me and Heaven but I don't mind because I know that she won't tell it to anybody, even to her sister.

I focused on doing the essay because I'm good on it.

"Fudge!" I exclaimed when Michelle slapped my head using the same pad that I threw on her.

"Bitch!" I muttered.

"We both are" she said chuckling. I laughed by what she said. We're like idiots now.

After five hours of non-stop activity the bell rang, I bid goodbye to my friends and headed straight to the parking lot.

Heaven kissed me as soon as I entered my car.

"How's your class?" She asked me sweetly.

"It's fine, Michelle was kind of nosy. Can't blame her she thought we're cousins" I said as I took a deep breath. I'm tired. I was about to put my seat belt when my phone rang. It's a call from David. I ignored it.

"Mischa, David's calling" she reminded me.

"Don't mind it" I said simply.

"What if it's important?" She insisted. It's been a week since the incident in the floating restaurant and we haven't seen each other after that.

"It's not, before you don't want me talking to him and now you're telling me that I should answer his call" I said raising my brow. She sighed.

"Mischa that's rude, he's still your boyfriend" she explained patiently.

"But I don't want to. I don't know what to say to him. I'm afraid that he'd ask me questions that I'm not ready to answer!" Now I'm annoyed.

"What questions?" She asked me confused.

Fudge!! I yelled mentally.

"Of course he'll ask me why I'm avoiding him!" I blurted.

"Avoiding him? I thought he's just busy that's why you're not seeing him" I betrayed myself now.

Kill me please.

"Can we just go? I don't want to talk about him. I'll talk to him when we get home. For now let's just eat because I'm hungry" I said dismissing the topic. She obliged and didn't talk afterwards. I don't get it. She hates David but she's concerned about him when I rejected his call. She should be happy because my attention now is all hers but I can see that somehow she's worried, I don't know if it's for me or for David.

We decided to eat in IHOP when we arrived at the mall.

"David talks a lot about his sister" I said as I took a sip of my iced tea.

"Really? What did he say?" She asked curiously.

"Well he said she's a hard-headed girl but she's beautiful and smart"

"Oh" was all she said while nodding.

"You know at first I thought that I could pair you two" I said while cutting the roasted turkey.

"Seriously? She's not my type" she said flatly.

"You haven't seen her yet. I bet she's pretty" I said hastily.

"Oh by the looks of David I guess she is, but again she's not my type" I put the turkey that I cut on her mouth. She chewed it while smiling at me.

Gosh she's really cute. I said mentally.

"Whatever. Just wait till you see her. I bet you'll drool" I insisted.

"You really want me to like her?" I ignored her.

"Okay imagine this..." She said then gazed at me intently.

"I'm kissing her, touching her and she's doing the same" I don't know what David's sister looked like so I imagined Amber Heard kissing her. It's not a bad sight but it made me jealous. I don't want her romancing someone aside from me. I raised my brow and fought her gaze.

"Okay...well you don't know her. Maybe she's bad breathe or something" I said while waving my spoon.

"Oh I don't think she's bad breathe. Let's just stick to what I said that she's not my type" she said chuckling.

I frowned when I received a multimedia message from David. I opened it and was shocked to see my photo with Heaven. My face flushed, he knows where I am right now. I looked around to search for him but there's no trace. My phone rang afterwards.

"He...hello David" I said stuttering. Heaven looked at me anxiously.

"Let's meet now. At the Coffee bean" he said before hanging up.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I... I just have to meet David. He's here" her eyes widen.

"What did he say?" She asked me anxiously, I stood up and fixed my things.

"I'll just talk to him, you go home first okay?" I didn't wait for her response and walked out fast of the restaurant.

There's not much people around when I arrived. I'm really nervous and my heart is pounding so hard. He's looking outside while his legs crossed. A typical gorgeous David that I fell in love with.

He stood up and kissed me when he noticed me arriving. He already ordered coffee for me.

"I didn't know you're here" I started.

"You would if you answered my call" he said smiling at me but I know that it's sarcastic.

"I'm sorry. I didn't noticed because I put it on silent when I was in class" I lied as I sit on the couch facing him.

"If I didn't know that you're straight I would think that you and your orphan have a relationship" he stated. I almost spit my coffee by what he said.

If you only knew.

"David... I just treated her for lunch, she doesn't have money remember?" I said gently.

"Why are you ignoring me?" He asked suddenly.

"No I'm not, I'm texting you so how come you say I'm avoiding you?" He entwined his fingers and looked at me intently.

"Mischa, do you still love me?" I frowned by his question.

"Of course David. Why are you asking me such questions?" It's the first time that I feel annoyed whenever he asked me that. I know to myself that I still love him, more than Heaven. He nodded and didn't speak afterwards, he focused on drinking his coffee.

"Anyways... You're gonna say something about your sister before. What is it?" I asked smiling. He puts down his coffee before speaking.

"I'll tell you when the right time comes" he said flatly.

"Isn't now the right time?" Now I'm curious. I want to know it.

"Nope... You'll know soon but not now" he said dismissing the topic. I want to argue but I know that he won't tell it to me no matter what I do.

"Let's watch movie" he said when he's done with his drink. I'm tired but I don't have a choice but to oblige. We both stood up, I held his hand as we walked out of the cafeteria.

"What movie do you like?" I said while leaning on his arm.

"The hobbit" he said simply.

"I don't like that movie, it's boring" I snorted.

"What do you like to watch then?" He said while poking my cheeks. I only now noticed that he's wearing a plain white shirt and jogger pants matching his Nike Roshe run. He looks cool and much younger. It's the first time that I saw him wearing that kind of outfit. I smiled because I find it cute.

"Hey what's wrong?" He snapped at me but in a gentle way.

"Nothing. It's just that you looked young and cute on your outfit" I said giggling. He chuckled and hugged me tight.

"Well, my sister bought me this before and I felt like wearing it today. I'm glad you liked it" he said then kissed me on my head. I hugged him tight as well. I missed him, when I'm with him I'm happy, when I'm with Heaven I'm happy as well.

Please God help me weight my feelings so that I won't be torn between the two of them...I prayed mentally.

"Okay, enough of the sweetness, they're looking at us" I said as I tapped his back gently. He retreated and held my hand again.

"What about Big Hero 6?" He suggested.

"Yes! I want that movie please!" I said excitedly.

"Your wish is my command my Queen" he said before walking to the cashier. I remembered Heaven when he said that. She says it better than him. I took my phone out and called her. It took three rings before she answered.

"Where are you now?"

"Driving home. Are you staying in his house?" She asked me casually.

"Probably but I'm not sure yet" I said while biting my lower lip.

"Okay, enjoy your movie I'm hanging up now"

she said simply. I'm the first one to end the call. I bet she followed us before going home. I need to patch things up with David, I don't like him to be upset. Heaven and I were not in a relationship but we're like lovers so technically I'm two timing. I sighed as we entered the cinema. I feel really bad, I hope the movie has the capacity to make me laugh to ease the burden that I'm feeling.

I kept on laughing because of Baymax, I wish I have a robot like him and hug me whenever I'm sad.

"You're funny" he said chuckling because I'm crying on the part where Baymax was shutdown.

"What? It's very sad! I want Baymax to live!" I said sobbing, he hugged me tight and kissed my cheeks multiple times.

"It's just cartoons" he said then caressed my shoulders.

"I know but I have a shallow tears when it comes to sad moments" I said before wiping my tears.

"Mischa, can you stay with me tonight? I know it's been only a week but I really missed you" he said the moment the movie ended. I smiled simply.

"Of course I will" was all I said.

We decided to drink Baileys when we got home. It's only seven in the evening but I'm already sleepy.

"Mischa, what if someone lied to you, what will you do?" He asked all of a sudden. I sat on the couch facing him while my legs resting on his lap.

"I hate liars" I said simply.

"What will you do if you find out that the person you trust lied to you?"

"Why are you suddenly asking me questions about lies? I don't get it" I said then drank my baileys straight. It's really delicious when it's cold.

"Nothing. I'm just curious" I raised my brow at him.

"Why? Did you do something? Are you lying to me?" I asked suspiciously. He chuckled.

"No, are you?" He counter asked and I'm guilty as hell.

"Well... Like I said I hate liars. I won't forgive them ever" he nodded and didn't speak afterwards. I'm about to take my fifth glass when he stopped me.

"You'll get drunk" he said sweetly then took the glass that I'm holding. He's right I'm tipsy now. I leaned my head on the couch and closed my eyes. I felt the couch shifted, I peeked and saw him in front of me. He's gazing at me intently and smiling sweetly.

"I love you Mischa" he said in a husky voice.

"I love you too" was all I said. I don't know if it's for him or for Heaven. She's all on my mind now.

He leaned closer and kissed me gently, I put my arms on his nape and kissed him harder, I can really tell the difference between him and Heaven. I know what will happen next and I obliged with all my heart, after all he's my boyfriend. It won't be a bad night.

•••••

"Where have you been?!" I asked her irritably the moment she stepped inside the door.

"I went to Maggie's house, we studied for our midterm exams" she said then gave me a peck on the lips. I'm sitting on the couch while my arms crossed.

"Why didn't you messaged me?!" She chuckled.

"I forgot to charge my phone and I thought you'll stay late at school because it's your laboratory today right?" She's right, but our professor was absent so I came home earlier than usual. I snorted.
