Chapitre 11: Chapter 11: "Are you jealous"
Debra's heart pounded as she stepped into the brightly lit kitchen of their apartment . Only to see Lean being hugged by another girl ,well a Charming lady for that matter.
The stranger was even dressed better than her, she looked simple but screamed rich . Well she was from a rich family too but she liked her homeless look , but today seeing how Lean was looking at the stranger made her realize she needed a whole new new and a whole new set of clothes in her closet .
The air smelled of flowers and fancy food . Debra didn't want to rush to conclusions as yet so she kept her cool ,and not overreact especially not in Clarissa's presence .
She knew she had decided to be best friends with Lean, meaning she should not be bothered by who dates or likes ,but seeing her in someone's arms almost made her lose it .
She regretted saying to Lean that they can be best friends,now she was wrapped in the arms of another girl- a stranger who had gone on a date with her. Debra's stomach twisted into knots. She had hoped to find Lean alone,or atleast not around so that she can gather her courage,to finally confess her feelings,and explain why she could'nt answer her texts , but fate had other plans.
Clarissa nudged her "you okay ?"...
Debra nodded, her voice trapped in her throat. They stepped inside the kitchen fully ,as the scene unfolded before her- the stranger's arms around Lean, their laughter echoing off the walls. Debra's jealousy burned like a wildfire, but she forced a smile.
"Hey," Debra said, her voice too bright. "I didn't expect you to have company."
Lean turned, surprise flickering in her eyes. "Debra! I tried texting you earlier. Why didn't you reply?"
Debra's mind raced. She had seen the messages-Lean had been checking up on her ,she seemed concerned , her vulnerability laid bare. But Debra was occupied, enjoying being with her family and painting with her ex . She felt like she cheated . None of her reasons were good enough to justify why she had ignored Lean.
"I—I was busy," Debra stammered. "Work stuff and I had went back home "
" Oh !" ..that's all lean could say .
Debra glanced at the stranger, who had stepped back, sensing the tension. "Who's your friend?"
Lean didn't hesitate. "This is Trinity . We went on a date".
Trinity's eyes met Lean's, and Debra saw the truth-the kiss and making out had meant something. But Lean's gaze held a different answer - which confused Debra was Lean in love with Trinity.
Debra took a deep breath. "I'm sorry for not replying. It's just... complicated."
"It's fine ,who haven't introduced the visitor you brought , you're being a bad host right now ". Lean said looking at the beautiful young lady standing next to Debra.
"Umm ,let me introduce myself.. I'm Clarissa. Debra's ex ,well I hope it doesn't stay this way since I'm back in town ". Clarissa said trying not to really show off that she had dated Debra .
" Nice to meet you Clarissa,what were you two up to today ?". This was a different side if Lean Debra was seeing .
"Umm ..well ".... Before Debra could find the right words to say ,she was interrupted by Clarissa.
" Well we spent the day at the studio painting and catching up ". Clarissa was no fool ,she could see how much Debra loved Lean,but she was not going to allow it . She sacrificed her joy to be a supermodel,so she can be able to fit into Debra's life and become the perfect daughter in law ,she wouldn't allow some random roommate to ruin her hardwork .
" Must be nice ". That's all lean could say. She remembered what had happened the last time her and Debra were at the studio . She chuckled a little . I guess this was her thing ... Sleeping around with anything with a heartbeat in her studio . She felt stupid for even trying to develop feelings for Debra.
" Lean can you walk me out , it's getting late and I want you to rest early today". Trinity intoned looking at Deb and slowly glancing at Lean .
" Sure let's go "... With that Lean walked out holding hands with Trinity.

"What was that awkward conversations in the apartment?". Trinity asked the moment they got to her car .
" It's nothing, Deb is actually my best friend but she's just acting up".
"Clearly she looks like she loves you ,or atleast has some history with you, because if eyes could kill I would be dead by now"... Trinity said sounding sarcastic but she looked dead serious.
" Urgh ,she doesn't love me , we're just friends. Anyway the date was nice , you're nice . I really had a good time . " Lean said holding Trinity's hand .
This gesture took Trinity by surprise as she immediately used it to her advantage and perked Lean's lips. Which startled Lean but the damage had been done . Trinity had missed her.
" I had a great time too. I hope we can do this again ". Trinity said with an anticipating look .
"Sure I don't mind , have a goodnight". Lean said as she turned heading to her apartment.leaving Trinity smiling like a pervert.
In the morning...
Debra stepped closer, her fingers brushing Lean's. "Lean, I care about you. But we can't keep dancing around our feelings. If you're not ready, I understand."
Lean's heart ached, she was willing to give Deb a chance but last night was a downgrade for her ."What feelings are you talking about?. We are friends,best friends, dating is out. Focus on Clarissa, she's back for you ".
Debra's felt like her heart was being cut into pieces . " I do not love Clarissa, she's my ex . "
"But atleast she wants you ,I don't . You spent the day together at the studio ,who knows what else happened there, because Clarissa's confidence said otherwise "... Lean answered looking enraged.
"Are you jealous "...
"Excuse me...of all the things I said ,that's all you could say . You know what Deb you don't change you are still selfish and egocentric. I was stupid to think ,this friendship could work. "with that Lean headed to her room as they had been talking in kitchen.
Deb felt hurt ,infact shattered. She deserves it . She had to start again and convince Lean that she could change ,and show her how much she loved her .
But how was she going to get rid of Clarissa and her father....
