I lifted my head to her and threw a stabbing glare at her.

My attention diverted when I felt the table vibrate, looking down my phone pop up a message from Kylle. Making me speedily grasp on it and check his reply with my heart racing uncontrolably.

Kylle
_'Haha, your way of asking if I like you is adorable :) but to answer your question. No, I dont like you.

-
My mouth parted when I read it, I felt a sting across my heart.

His response is just what I expected it to be and its such a huge slap on my face and a stab on my heart.
-

Lina
...Oh, so I thought this was all just a game huh :(

Kylle
_'Yeah

-
My eyes started to water, my mouth about to choke into a whaling sob, but I choke it down, biting my lips to held it in.

Joana noticed my change of emotion which made her worried and snatch the phone from my hand, reading the text.

And her face grimmed when she read it. "Why that bastard! I told you not to trust him!", she scolded, passing the phone to me with her face fuming red.

I started to sniff and cant hold it back, I finally let out a sob, slamming my face to my palm, soaking it with my tears. I can feel Joana panic as she shuffled towards the seat beside me and began to rub my back soothingly.

"No no, dont cry over him Lina, his not worth it", she softly said out of comfort.

All just a game, how catastrophic.

I felt my phone vibrated again, notifying a text. I sniffed and wiped my tears with my hands and was about to reach for my phone when Joana seized my hands. I glanced to her and she gave me a concern look.

"Dont, you might end up getting hurt alot more Lina", she muttered, her eyes full of solicitude.

"Its ok Jo", I whispered, sending her a small smile of encouragement, which somehow made her let go of my hand. I took my phone and opened his message, feeling Joana tilt her head to take a peek on the message.

Kylle
_'But that was before. Not anymore babe.

-
My brows drew together in confusion.
-

Lina
...What do you mean?

Kylle
_'I dont like you cause I love you silly :) There I said it, I'm falling inlove with you so hard that I realised how much you mean to me and that I changed. I changed because of you. Even though we're so far from each other, I feel you so close to me, to my heart. And now that I feel this love, I will never let go of you cause I know if I will, this feeling of pure joy and love will never come back. So never let go ok? Just hold on and never let go no matter what happens Lin :)

-
Reading his warm and sincere text it made me cry out in happiness.
My heart fluttered and jump in joy.

I turned to Joana with a bright smile, my tears toppling across my cheeks. She smiled back sweetly, but its visible in her eyes that she's not showing complete support to me. She's still in wary of Kylle.
-

Lina
...Oh baby, I would never let go no matter what, i promise you that. I love you more my Prince :)

-
I internally screamed to myself in joy and flattery that he loves me. He loves me.
-

Kylle
_'I love you most my Princess :) and soon you'll be a queen when I marry you.

Lina
...Awe :) I love you alot :)
